    Abstract Despite being in the same pathway, mutations of KRAS and BRAF in colorectal carcinomas (CRCs) determine distinct progression courses. ZEB1 induces an epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and is associated with worse progression in most carcinomas. Using samples from patients with CRC, mouse models of KrasG12D and BrafV600E CRC, and a Zeb1-deficient mouse, we show that ZEB1 had opposite functions in KRAS- and BRAF-mutant CRCs. In KrasG12D CRCs, ZEB1 was correlated with a worse prognosis and a higher number of larger and undifferentiated (mesenchymal or EMT-like) tumors. Surprisingly, in BrafV600E CRC, ZEB1 was associated with better prognosis; fewer, smaller, and more differentiated (reduced EMT) primary tumors; and fewer metastases. ZEB1 was positively correlated in KRAS-mutant CRC cells and negatively in BRAF-mutant CRC cells with gene signatures for EMT, cell proliferation and survival, and ERK signaling. On a mechanistic level, ZEB1 knockdown in KRAS-mutant CRC cells increased apoptosis and reduced clonogenicity and anchorage-independent growth; the reverse occurred in BRAFV600E CRC cells. ZEB1 is associated with better prognosis and reduced EMT signature in patients harboring BRAF CRCs. These data suggest that ZEB1 can function as a tumor suppressor in BRAF-mutant CRCs, highlighting the importance of considering the KRAS/BRAF mutational background of CRCs in therapeutic strategies targeting ZEB1/EMT.

    Abstract Multiple physiopathological and clinical conditions trigger skeletal muscle atrophy through the induction of a group of proteins (atrogenes) that includes components of the ubiquitin-proteasome and autophagy-lysosomal systems. Atrogenes are induced by FOXO transcription factors, but their regulation is still not fully understood. Here, we showed that the transcription factor ZEB1, best known for promoting tumor progression, inhibits muscle atrophy and atrogene expression by antagonizing FOXO3-mediated induction of atrogenes. Compared to wild-type counterparts, hindlimb immobilization in Zeb1-deficient mice resulted in enhanced muscle atrophy and higher expression of a number of atrogenes, including Atrogin-1/Fbxo32, MuRF1/Trim63, Ctsl, 4ebp1, Gabarapl1, Psma1 and Nrf2. Likewise, in the C2C12 myogenic cell model, ZEB1 knockdown augmented both myotube diameter reduction and atrogene upregulation in response to nutrient deprivation. Mechanistically, ZEB1 directly represses in vitro and in vivo Fbxo32 and Trim63 promoter transcription in a stage-dependent manner and in a reverse pattern with MYOD1. ZEB1 bound to the Fbxo32 promoter in undifferentiated myoblasts and atrophic myotubes, but not in non-atrophic myotubes, where it is displaced by MYOD1. ZEB1 repressed both promoters through CtBP-mediated inhibition of FOXO3 transcriptional activity. These results set ZEB1 as a new target in therapeutic approaches to clinical conditions causing muscle mass loss.

    Abstract The mechanisms linking muscle injury and regeneration are not fully understood. Here we report an unexpected role for ZEB1 regulating inflammatory and repair responses in dystrophic and acutely injured muscles. ZEB1 is upregulated in the undamaged and regenerating myofibers of injured muscles. Compared to wild-type counterparts, Zeb1-deficient injured muscles exhibit enhanced damage that corresponds with a retarded p38-MAPK-dependent transition of their macrophages towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Zeb1-deficient injured muscles also display a delayed and poorer regeneration that is accounted by the retarded anti-inflammatory macrophage transition and their intrinsically deficient muscle satellite cells (MuSCs). Macrophages in Zeb1-deficient injured muscles show lower phosphorylation of p38 and its forced activation reverts the enhanced muscle damage and poorer regeneration. MuSCs require ZEB1 to maintain their quiescence, prevent their premature activation following injury, and drive efficient regeneration in dystrophic muscles. These data indicate that ZEB1 protects muscle from damage and is required for its regeneration.

    Abstract In order to understand the process of terminal differentiation in salivary acinar cells, mRNA and microRNA expression was measured across the month long process of differentiation in the parotid gland of the rat. Acinar cells were isolated at either nine time points (mRNA) or four time points (microRNA) in triplicate using laser capture microdissection (LCM). One of the values of this dataset comes from the high quality RNA (RIN > 7) that was used in this study, which can be prohibitively difficult to obtain from such an RNaseI-rich tissue. Global mRNA expression was measured by rat genome microarray hybridization (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE65586), and expression of microRNAs by qPCR array (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE65324). Comparing expression at different ages, 2656 mRNAs and 64 microRNAs were identified as differentially expressed. Because mRNA expression was sampled at many time points, clustering and regression analysis were able to identify dynamic expression patterns that had not been implicated in acinar differentiation before. Integration of the two datasets allowed the identification of microRNA target genes, and a gene regulatory network. Bioinformatics R code and additional details of experimental methods and data analysis are provided.

    Abstract ZEB1 transcription factor is important in both development and disease, including many TGFβ-induced responses, and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by which many tumors undergo metastasis. ZEB1 is differentially phosphorylated in different cell types; however the role of phosphorylation in ZEB1 activity is unknown. Luciferase reporter studies and electrophoresis mobility shift assays (EMSA) show that a decrease in phosphorylation of ZEB1 increases both DNA-binding and transcriptional repression of ZEB1 target genes. Functional analysis of ZEB1 phosphorylation site mutants near the second zinc finger domain (termed ZD2) show that increased phosphorylation (due to either PMA plus ionomycin, or IGF-1) can inhibit transcriptional repression by either a ZEB1-ZD2 domain clone, or full-length ZEB1. This approach identifies phosphosites that have a substantial effect regulating the transcriptional and DNA-binding activity of ZEB1. Immunoprecipitation with anti-ZEB1 antibodies followed by western analysis with a phospho-Threonine-Proline-specific antibody indicates that the ERK consensus site at Thr-867 is phosphorylated in ZEB1. In addition to disrupting in vitro DNA-binding measured by EMSA, IGF-1-induced MEK/ERK phosphorylation is sufficient to disrupt nuclear localization of GFP-ZEB1 fusion clones. These data suggest that phosphorylation of ZEB1 integrates TGFβ signaling with other signaling pathways such as IGF-1. J. Cell. Physiol. 231: 2205-2217, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Abstract The Zinc Finger Homeodomain Enhancer-binding Protein (Zfhep) is involved in skeletal patterning, immune cell, muscle, and brain development, and is necessary for life. Zfhep contains a single central homeodomain (HD) adjacent to an isolated zinc finger, the function of which is unknown. The placement of a zinc finger so close to a homeodomain is novel in nature. The aim of this work was to characterize the Zfhep homeodomain (HD) or the zinc finger homeodomain (ZHD), with respect to DNA-binding and protein-protein interactions. Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins containing either just the HD or both the zinc finger and HD (ZHD) were expressed in E. coli. The GST fusion protein affinity-binding assay demonstrated that Zfhep ZHD interacts specifically with the POU domain of the Oct-1 transcription factor. The adjacent zinc finger is required since Zfhep HD alone does not interact with Oct-1 POU domain. Furthermore, ZHD does not bind to the POU homeodomain lacking the POU specific region. These results demonstrate that the Zfhep zinc finger homeodomain motif functions as a protein-binding domain in vitro, and suggests that Zfhep may modulate the activity of POU domain transcription factors. However, neither the Zfhep ZHD nor the HD bound DNA in EMSA or selected a DNA-binding site from a pool of random oligonucleotides. This is the first demonstration of a function for the HD region of Zfhep, which is the first case of a bi-partite domain requiring both a zinc finger and a HD for binding to protein.

    Abstract In modern systems biology the modeling of longitudinal data, such as changes in mRNA concentrations, is often of interest. Fully parametric, ordinary differential equations (ODE)-based models are typically developed for the purpose, but their lack of fit in some examples indicates that more flexible Bayesian models may be beneficial, particularly when there are relatively few data points available. However, under such sparse data scenarios it is often difficult to identify the most suitable model. The process of falsifying inappropriate candidate models is called model discrimination. We propose here a formal method of discrimination between competing Bayesian mixture-type longitudinal models that is both sensitive and sufficiently flexible to account for the complex variability of the longitudinal molecular data. The ideas from the field of Bayesian analysis of computer model validation are applied, along with modern Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, in order to derive an appropriate Bayes discriminant rule. We restrict attention to the two-model comparison problem and present the application of the proposed rule to the mRNA data in the de-differentiation network of three mRNA concentrations in mammalian salivary glands as well as to a large synthetic dataset derived from the model used in the recent DREAM6 competition.

    Abstract Skeletal muscle development is orchestrated by the myogenic regulatory factor MyoD, whose activity is blocked in myoblasts by proteins preventing its nuclear translocation and/or binding to G/C-centered E-boxes in target genes. Recent evidence indicates that muscle gene expression is also regulated at the cis level by differential affinity for DNA between MyoD and other E-box binding proteins during myogenesis. MyoD binds to G/C-centered E-boxes, enriched in muscle differentiation genes, in myotubes but not in myoblasts. Here, we used cell-based and in vivo Drosophila, Xenopus laevis, and mouse models to show that ZEB1, a G/C-centered E-box binding transcriptional repressor, imposes a temporary stage-dependent inhibition of muscle gene expression and differentiation via CtBP-mediated transcriptional repression. We found that, contrary to MyoD, ZEB1 binds to G/C-centered E-boxes in muscle differentiation genes at the myoblast stage but not in myotubes. Its knockdown results in precocious expression of muscle differentiation genes and acceleration of myotube formation. Inhibition of muscle genes by ZEB1 occurs via transcriptional repression and involves recruitment of the CtBP corepressor. Lastly, we show that the pattern of gene expression associated with muscle differentiation is accelerated in ZEB1 ⁻/⁻ mouse embryos. These results set ZEB1 as an important regulator of the temporal pattern of gene expression controlling muscle differentiation.

    Abstract Objective: Chronic inflammation is a risk factor in colorectal cancer (CRC) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) released by the inflamed stroma elicit DNA damage in epithelial cells. We sought to identify new drivers of ulcerative colitis (UC) and inflammatory CRC.
    Design: The study uses samples from patients with UC, mouse models of colitis and CRC and mice deficient for the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition factor ZEB1 and the DNA repair glycosylase N-methyl-purine glycosylase (MPG). Samples were analysed by immunostaining, qRT-PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, microbiota next-generation sequencing and ROS determination.
    Results: ZEB1 was induced in the colonic epithelium of UC and of mouse models of colitis. Compared with wild-type counterparts,
    Conclusions: ZEB1 promotes colitis and inflammatory CRC through the inhibition of MPG in epithelial cells, thus offering new therapeutic strategies to modulate inflammation and inflammatory cancer.
