Original Article EP300 Regulates the Expression of Human Survivin Gene in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

R. China Received January 6, 2016; Accepted March 21, 2016; Epub June 15, 2016; Published June 30, 2016 Abstract: Survivin is selectively up-regulated in various cancers including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The underlying mechanism of survivin overexpression in cancers is needed to be further studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of EP300, a well known transcriptional coactivator, on survivin gene expression in human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines. We found that overexpression of EP300 was associated with strong repression of survivin expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Knockdown of EP300 increased the survivin ex- pression as indicated by western blotting and RT-PCR analysis. Furthermore, our results indicated that transcription- al repression mediated by EP300 regulates survivin expression levels via regulating the survivin promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed that EP300 was associated with survivin gene promoter. When EP300 was added to esophageal squamous cancer cells, increased EP300 association was observed at the survivin promoter. But the acetylation level of histone H3 at survivin promoter didn’t change after RNAi-depletion of endogenous EP300 or after overexpression of EP300. These findings establish a negative regulatory role for EP300 in survivin expression. Keywords: Survivin, EP300, transcription regulation, ESCC Introduction transcription factors and the basal transcrip- tion machinery, or by providing a scaffold for Survivin belongs to the inhibitor of apoptosis integrating a variety of different proteins [6]. -
CHD7 Represses the Retinoic Acid Synthesis Enzyme ALDH1A3 During Inner Ear Development
CHD7 represses the retinoic acid synthesis enzyme ALDH1A3 during inner ear development Hui Yao, … , Shigeki Iwase, Donna M. Martin JCI Insight. 2018;3(4):e97440. https://doi.org/10.1172/jci.insight.97440. Research Article Development Neuroscience CHD7, an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler, is disrupted in CHARGE syndrome, an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by variably penetrant abnormalities in craniofacial, cardiac, and nervous system tissues. The inner ear is uniquely sensitive to CHD7 levels and is the most commonly affected organ in individuals with CHARGE. Interestingly, upregulation or downregulation of retinoic acid (RA) signaling during embryogenesis also leads to developmental defects similar to those in CHARGE syndrome, suggesting that CHD7 and RA may have common target genes or signaling pathways. Here, we tested three separate potential mechanisms for CHD7 and RA interaction: (a) direct binding of CHD7 with RA receptors, (b) regulation of CHD7 levels by RA, and (c) CHD7 binding and regulation of RA-related genes. We show that CHD7 directly regulates expression of Aldh1a3, the gene encoding the RA synthetic enzyme ALDH1A3 and that loss of Aldh1a3 partially rescues Chd7 mutant mouse inner ear defects. Together, these studies indicate that ALDH1A3 acts with CHD7 in a common genetic pathway to regulate inner ear development, providing insights into how CHD7 and RA regulate gene expression and morphogenesis in the developing embryo.

EZH2 Reduction Is an Essential Mechanoresponse for The
Li et al. Cell Death and Disease (2020) 11:757 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41419-020-02963-3 Cell Death & Disease ARTICLE Open Access EZH2 reduction is an essential mechanoresponse for the maintenance of super-enhancer polarization against compressive stress in human periodontal ligament stem cells Qian Li1,XiwenSun2,YunyiTang2, Yanan Qu2, Yanheng Zhou1 and Yu Zhang2 Abstract Despite the ubiquitous mechanical cues at both spatial and temporal dimensions, cell identities and functions are largely immune to the everchanging mechanical stimuli. To understand the molecular basis of this epigenetic stability, we interrogated compressive force-elicited transcriptomic changes in mesenchymal stem cells purified from human periodontal ligament (PDLSCs), and identified H3K27me3 and E2F signatures populated within upregulated and weakly downregulated genes, respectively. Consistently, expressions of several E2F family transcription factors and EZH2, as core methyltransferase for H3K27me3, decreased in response to mechanical stress, which were attributed to force-induced redistribution of RB from nucleoplasm to lamina. Importantly, although epigenomic analysis on H3K27me3 landscape only demonstrated correlating changes at one group of mechanoresponsive genes, we observed a genome-wide destabilization of super-enhancers along with aberrant EZH2 retention. These super- enhancers were tightly bounded by H3K27me3 domain on one side and exhibited attenuating H3K27ac deposition fl 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; and attening H3K27ac peaks along with compensated EZH2 expression after force exposure, analogous to increased H3K27ac entropy or decreased H3K27ac polarization. Interference of force-induced EZH2 reduction could drive actin filaments dependent spatial overlap between EZH2 and super-enhancers and functionally compromise the multipotency of PDLSC following mechanical stress. These findings together unveil a specific contribution of EZH2 reduction for the maintenance of super-enhancer stability and cell identity in mechanoresponse.
