ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim. TGF-β signalling is involved in pathogenesis and progress of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This bioin- formatics study consequently aims to determine the underlying molecular mechanism of TGF-β activation in HCC cells. Material and methods. Dataset GSE10393 was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, including 2 Huh-7 (HCC cell line) samples treated by TGF-β (100 pmol/L, 48 h) and 2 untreated samples. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened using Limma package (false discovery rate < 0.05 and |log2 fold change| > 1.5), and then enrichment analyses of function, pathway, and disease were performed. In addition, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed based on the PPI data from multiple databas- es including INACT, MINT, BioGRID, UniProt, BIND, BindingDB, and SPIKE databases. Transcription factor (TF)-DEG pairs (Bonferroni adjusted p-value < 0.01) from ChEA database and DEG-DEG pairs were used to construct TF-DEG regulatory network. Furthermore, TF-pathway-DEG complex network was constructed by integrating DEG-DEG pairs, TF-DEG pairs, and DEG-path- way pairs. Results. Totally, 209 DEGs and 30 TFs were identified. The DEGs were significantly enriched in adhesion-related func- tions. PPI network indicted hub genes such as CUL4B and NEDD4. According to the TF-DEG regulatory network, the two hub genes were targeted by SMAD2, SMAD3, and HNF4A. Besides, the 11 pathways in TF-pathway-DEG network were mainly en- riched by UGT1A family and CYP3A7, which were predicted to be regulated by SMAD2, SMAD3, SOX2, TP63, and HNF4A. Conclusions. TGF-β might influence biological processes of HCC cells via SMAD2/SMAD3-NEDD4, HNF4A-CUL4B/NEDD4, SOX2/TP63/HNF4A-CYP3A7, and SMAD2/SMAD3/SOX2/TP63/HNF4A-UGT1As regulatory pathways. Key words.

ABSTRACT CRLs (Cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligases) are the largest E3 ligase family in eukaryotes, which ubiquitinate a wide range of substrates involved in cell cycle regulation, signal transduction, transcriptional regulation, DNA damage response, genomic integrity, tumor suppression and embryonic development. CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase, as one member of CRLs family, consists of a RING finger domain protein, cullin4 (CUL4) scaffold protein and DDB1–CUL4 associated substrate receptors. The CUL4 subfamily includes two members, CUL4A and CUL4B, which share extensively sequence identity and functional redundancy. Aberrant expression of CUL4 has been found in a majority of tumors. Given the significance of CUL4 in cancer, understanding its detailed aspects of pathogenesis of human malignancy would have significant value for the treatment of cancer.

Oncogenesis (2020) 9:46 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41389-020-0230-3 Oncogenesis ARTICLE Open Access Acetyl-CoA synthetase 3 promotes bladder cancer cell growth under metabolic stress Jianhao Zhang1, Hongjian Duan1, Zhipeng Feng1,XinweiHan1 and Chaohui Gu2 Abstract Cancer cells adapt to nutrient-deprived tumor microenvironment during progression via regulating the level and function of metabolic enzymes. Acetyl-coenzyme A (AcCoA) is a key metabolic intermediate that is crucial for cancer cell metabolism, especially under metabolic stress. It is of special significance to decipher the role acetyl-CoA synthetase short chain family (ACSS) in cancer cells confronting metabolic stress. Here we analyzed the generation of lipogenic AcCoA in bladder cancer cells under metabolic stress and found that in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) cells, the proportion of lipogenic AcCoA generated from glucose were largely reduced under metabolic stress. Our results revealed that ACSS3 was responsible for lipogenic AcCoA synthesis in BLCA cells under metabolic stress. Interestingly, we found that ACSS3 was required for acetate utilization and histone acetylation. Moreover, our data illustrated that ACSS3 promoted BLCA cell growth. In addition, through analyzing clinical samples, we found that both mRNA and protein levels of ACSS3 were dramatically upregulated in BLCA samples in comparison with adjacent controls and BLCA patients with lower ACSS3 expression were entitled with longer overall survival. Our data revealed an oncogenic role of ACSS3 via regulating AcCoA generation in BLCA and provided a promising target in metabolic pathway for BLCA treatment. 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction acetyl-CoA synthetase short chain family (ACSS), which In cancer cells, considerable number of metabolic ligates acetate and CoA6.

  • A Molecular Switch from STAT2-IRF9 to ISGF3 Underlies Interferon-Induced Gene Transcription
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10970-y OPEN A molecular switch from STAT2-IRF9 to ISGF3 underlies interferon-induced gene transcription Ekaterini Platanitis 1, Duygu Demiroz1,5, Anja Schneller1,5, Katrin Fischer1, Christophe Capelle1, Markus Hartl 1, Thomas Gossenreiter 1, Mathias Müller2, Maria Novatchkova3,4 & Thomas Decker 1 Cells maintain the balance between homeostasis and inflammation by adapting and inte- grating the activity of intracellular signaling cascades, including the JAK-STAT pathway. Our 1234567890():,; understanding of how a tailored switch from homeostasis to a strong receptor-dependent response is coordinated remains limited. Here, we use an integrated transcriptomic and proteomic approach to analyze transcription-factor binding, gene expression and in vivo proximity-dependent labelling of proteins in living cells under homeostatic and interferon (IFN)-induced conditions. We show that interferons (IFN) switch murine macrophages from resting-state to induced gene expression by alternating subunits of transcription factor ISGF3. Whereas preformed STAT2-IRF9 complexes control basal expression of IFN-induced genes (ISG), both type I IFN and IFN-γ cause promoter binding of a complete ISGF3 complex containing STAT1, STAT2 and IRF9. In contrast to the dogmatic view of ISGF3 formation in the cytoplasm, our results suggest a model wherein the assembly of the ISGF3 complex occurs on DNA. 1 Max Perutz Labs (MPL), University of Vienna, Vienna 1030, Austria. 2 Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics, University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, Vienna 1210, Austria. 3 Institute of Molecular Biotechnology of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (IMBA), Vienna 1030, Austria. 4 Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP), Vienna Biocenter (VBC), Vienna 1030, Austria.

  • Mouse Acss3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9)
    https://www.alphaknockout.com Mouse Acss3 Conditional Knockout Project (CRISPR/Cas9) Objective: To create a Acss3 conditional knockout Mouse model (C57BL/6J) by CRISPR/Cas-mediated genome engineering. Strategy summary: The Acss3 gene (NCBI Reference Sequence: NM_001142804 ; Ensembl: ENSMUSG00000035948 ) is located on Mouse chromosome 10. 16 exons are identified, with the ATG start codon in exon 1 and the TGA stop codon in exon 16 (Transcript: ENSMUST00000165067). Exon 2 will be selected as conditional knockout region (cKO region). Deletion of this region should result in the loss of function of the Mouse Acss3 gene. To engineer the targeting vector, homologous arms and cKO region will be generated by PCR using BAC clone RP23-414G20 as template. Cas9, gRNA and targeting vector will be co-injected into fertilized eggs for cKO Mouse production. The pups will be genotyped by PCR followed by sequencing analysis. Note: Exon 2 starts from about 14.52% of the coding region. The knockout of Exon 2 will result in frameshift of the gene.

  • Genome-Scale Identification of Transcription Factors That Mediate An
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-04406-2 OPEN Genome-scale identification of transcription factors that mediate an inflammatory network during breast cellular transformation Zhe Ji 1,2,4, Lizhi He1, Asaf Rotem1,2,5, Andreas Janzer1,6, Christine S. Cheng2,7, Aviv Regev2,3 & Kevin Struhl 1 Transient activation of Src oncoprotein in non-transformed, breast epithelial cells can initiate an epigenetic switch to the stably transformed state via a positive feedback loop that involves 1234567890():,; the inflammatory transcription factors STAT3 and NF-κB. Here, we develop an experimental and computational pipeline that includes 1) a Bayesian network model (AccessTF) that accurately predicts protein-bound DNA sequence motifs based on chromatin accessibility, and 2) a scoring system (TFScore) that rank-orders transcription factors as candidates for being important for a biological process. Genetic experiments validate TFScore and suggest that more than 40 transcription factors contribute to the oncogenic state in this model. Interestingly, individual depletion of several of these factors results in similar transcriptional profiles, indicating that a complex and interconnected transcriptional network promotes a stable oncogenic state. The combined experimental and computational pipeline represents a general approach to comprehensively identify transcriptional regulators important for a biological process. 1 Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA. 2 Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA. 3 Department of Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute and David H.
