Ward2, Alistair G. Rust3, David J. Adams3, Nancy A. Jenkins2,4, Neal G. Copeland2,4, and Sumiko Watanabe1 Abstract Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric brain tumor, and in 25% of cases, it is driven by aberrant activation of the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway in granule neuron precursor (GNP) cells. In this study, we identified novel medulloblastoma driver genes through a transposon mutagenesis screen in the developing brain of wild-type and Trp53 mutant mice. Twenty-six candidates were identified along with established driver genes such as Gli1 and Crebbp. The transcription factor FoxR2, the most frequent gene identified in the screen, is overexpressed in a small subset of human medulloblastoma of the SHH subtype. Tgif2 and Alx4, 2 new putative oncogenes identified in the screen, are strongly expressed in the SHH subtype of human medulloblas- toma. Mutations in these two genes were mutually exclusive with mutations in Gli1 and tended to cooccur, consistent with involvement in the SHH pathway. Notably, Foxr2, Tgif2, and Alx4 activated Gli-binding sites in cooperation with Gli1, strengthening evidence that they function in SHH signaling. In support of an oncogenic function, Foxr2 overexpression transformed NIH3T3 cells and promoted proliferation of GNPs, the latter of which was also observed for Tgif2 and Alx4. These findings offer forward genetic and functional evidence associating Foxr2, Tgif2, and Alx4 with SHH subtype medulloblastoma. Cancer Res; 74(8); 1–11. Ó2014 AACR.

  • Rapid Evolution of Mammalian X-Linked Testis-Expressed Homeobox Genes
    Copyright 2004 by the Genetics Society of America DOI: 10.1534/genetics.103.025072 Rapid Evolution of Mammalian X-Linked Testis-Expressed Homeobox Genes Xiaoxia Wang and Jianzhi Zhang1 Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109 Manuscript received November 26, 2003 Accepted for publication February 11, 2004 ABSTRACT Homeobox genes encode transcription factors that function in various developmental processes and are usually evolutionarily conserved in their sequences. However, two X-chromosome-linked testis-expressed homeobox genes, one from rodents and the other from fruit flies, are known to evolve rapidly under positive Darwinian selection. Here we report yet another case, from primates. TGIFLX is an X-linked homeobox gene that originated by retroposition of the autosomal gene TGIF2, most likely in a common ancestor of rodents and primates. While TGIF2 is ubiquitously expressed, TGIFLX is exclusively expressed in adult testis. A comparison of the TGIFLX sequences among 16 anthropoid primates revealed a signifi- cantly higher rate of nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution (dN) than synonymous substitution (dS), strongly suggesting the action of positive selection. Although the high dN/dS ratio is most evident outside ف the homeobox, the homeobox has a dN/dS of 0.89 and includes two codons that are likely under selection. Furthermore, the rate of radical amino acid substitutions that alter amino acid charge is significantly greater than that of conservative substitutions, suggesting that the selection promotes diversity of the protein charge profile. More interestingly, an analysis of 64 orthologous homeobox genes from humans and mice shows substantially higher rates of amino acid substitution in X-linked testis-expressed genes than in other genes.

  • Link Between the Causative Genes of Holoprosencephaly: Zic2 Directly
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Link between the causative genes of holoprosencephaly: Zic2 directly regulates Tgif1 expression Received: 20 October 2017 Akira Ishiguro1,2, Minoru Hatayama1,3, Maky I. Otsuka1 & Jun Aruga1,3 Accepted: 15 January 2018 One of the causal genes for holoprosencephaly (HPE) is ZIC2 (HPE5). It belongs to the zinc fnger Published: xx xx xxxx protein of the cerebellum (Zic) family of genes that share a C2H2-type zinc fnger domain, similar to the GLI family of genes. In order to clarify the role of Zic2 in gene regulation, we searched for its direct target genes using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). We identifed TGIF1 (HPE4), another holoprosencephaly-causative gene in humans. We identifed Zic2-binding sites (ZBS) on the 5′ fanking region of Tgif1 by in vitro DNA binding assays. ZBS were essential for Zic2-dependent transcriptional activation in reporter gene assays. Zic2 showed a higher afnity to ZBS than GLI-binding sequences. Zic2-binding to the cis-regulatory element near the Tgif1 promoter may be involved in the mechanism underlying forebrain development and incidences of HPE. Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is known as a common forebrain defect in human development1,2. At least 13 chro- mosomal loci are associated with nonsyndromic HPE2,3. SHH, ZIC2, SIX3, and TGIF1 have been identifed to be four causative genes in the HPE loci (HPE3, HPE5, HPE2, and HPE4, respectively) and have been investigated with respect to clinical spectrum4 and genetic interactions5. Among the major HPE-associated genes, the roles of TGIF1 and ZIC2 in forebrain development have been elusive until recently1. However, recent studies have revealed clues as to its roles in forebrain development.

  • Loss of Tgif Function Causes Holoprosencephaly by Disrupting the Shh Signaling Pathway
    Loss of Tgif Function Causes Holoprosencephaly by Disrupting the Shh Signaling Pathway Kenichiro Taniguchi1, Anoush E. Anderson1, Ann E. Sutherland2, David Wotton1* 1 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics and Center for Cell Signaling, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, United States of America, 2 Department of Cell Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, United States of America Abstract Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a severe human genetic disease affecting craniofacial development, with an incidence of up to 1/250 human conceptions and 1.3 per 10,000 live births. Mutations in the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) gene result in HPE in humans and mice, and the Shh pathway is targeted by other mutations that cause HPE. However, at least 12 loci are associated with HPE in humans, suggesting that defects in other pathways contribute to this disease. Although the TGIF1 (TG-interacting factor) gene maps to the HPE4 locus, and heterozygous loss of function TGIF1 mutations are associated with HPE, mouse models have not yet explained how loss of Tgif1 causes HPE. Using a conditional Tgif1 allele, we show that mouse embryos lacking both Tgif1 and the related Tgif2 have HPE-like phenotypes reminiscent of Shh null embryos. Eye and nasal field separation is defective, and forebrain patterning is disrupted in embryos lacking both Tgifs. Early anterior patterning is relatively normal, but expression of Shh is reduced in the forebrain, and Gli3 expression is up-regulated throughout the neural tube. Gli3 acts primarily as an antagonist of Shh function, and the introduction of a heterozygous Gli3 mutation into embryos lacking both Tgif genes partially rescues Shh signaling, nasal field separation, and HPE.
