Development and in vitro evaluation of recombinant chicken promoters to efficiently drive transgene expression in chicken oviduct cells. Poult Sci 2021; 100:101365. [PMID: 34375836 PMCID: PMC8358702 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2021.101365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 06/19/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Virus injection into EGK-X embryos is a well-defined approach in avian transgenesis. This system uses a chicken ovalbumin gene promoter to induce transgene expression in the chicken oviduct. Although a reconstructed chicken ovalbumin promoter that links an ovalbumin promoter and estrogen-responsive enhancer element (ERE) is useful, a large viral vector containing the ovalbumin promoter and a target gene restricts viral packaging capacity and produces low-titer virus particles. We newly developed recombinant chicken promoters by linking regulatory regions of ovalbumin and other oviduct-specific genes. Putative enhancer fragments of the genes, such as ovotransferrin (TF), ovomucin alpha subunit (OVOA), and ovalbumin-related protein X (OVALX), were placed at the 5`-flanking region of the 2.8-kb ovalbumin promoter. Basal promoter fragments of the genes, namely, pTF, lysozyme (pLYZ), and ovomucoid (pOVM), were placed at the 3`-flanking region of the 1.6-kb ovalbumin ERE. The recombinant promoters cloned into each reporter vector were evaluated using a dual luciferase assay in human and chicken somatic cells, and LMH/2A cells treated with 0-1,000 nM estrogen, and cultured primary chicken oviduct cells. The recombinant promoters with linking ovalbumin and TF, OVOA, pOVM, and pLYZ regulatory regions had 2.1- to 19.5-fold (P < 0.05) higher luciferase activity than the reconstructed ovalbumin promoter in chicken oviduct cells. Therefore, recombinant promoters may be used to efficiently drive transgene expression in transgenic chickens.

Abstract
Transgenic chickens are of great interest for the production of recombinant proteins in their eggs. However, the use of constitutive strong promoters or the tissue-specific ovalbumin promoter for the generation of the transgenic chickens have different drawbacks that have to be overcome in order to make chicken bioreactor an efficient production system. This prompted us to investigate the use of an alternative tissue-specific promoter, the vitellogenin promoter, which could overcome the difficulties currently found in the generation of chicken bioreactors. In the present work we establish and characterize a DNA construct consisting of a fragment of the 5´-flanking region of the chicken vitellogenin II gene cloned in a reporter vector. This construct is capable of showing the ability of the promoter to drive expression of a reporting gene in a tissue-specific manner and in a way that closely resembles physiologic regulation of vitellogenin, making it an ideal candidate to be used in the future for generation of avian bioreactors. Besides, we validate an in vitro culture system to test the performance of the DNA construct under study that could be used as a practical tool before generating any transgenic chicken. These results are important since they provide the proof of concept for the use of the vitellogenin promoter for future genetic modification of chickens bioreactors with improved characteristics in terms of quality of the recombinant protein produced.

Abstract
Zoonotic and foodborne diseases pose a significant burden, decreasing both human and animal health. Modifying chickens to overexpress antimicrobials has the potential to decrease bacterial growth on poultry products and boost chicken innate immunity. Chickens overexpressing either ovotransferrin or avian β-defensin-3 (AvβD3) were generated using Tol-2 transposons. Transgene expression at the RNA and protein level was seen in egg white, breast muscle, and serum. There were significant differences in the immune cell populations in the blood, bursa, and spleen associated with transgene expression including an increased proportion of CD8+ cells in the blood of ovotransferrin and AvβD3 transgenic birds. Expression of the antimicrobials inhibited the in vitro growth of human and chicken bacterial pathogens and spoilage bacteria. For example, transgene expression significantly reduced growth of aerobic and coliform bacteria in breast muscle and decreased the growth of Salmonella enterica in egg white. Overall these results indicate that overexpression of antimicrobials in the chicken can impact the immune system and increase the antimicrobial capacity of poultry products.

Abstract
Ovotransferrin or conalbumin belong to the transferrin protein family and is endowed with both iron-transfer and protective activities. In addition to its well-known antibacterial properties, ovotransferrin displays other protective roles similar to those already ascertained for the homologous mammalian lactoferrin. These additional functions, in many cases not directly related to iron binding, are also displayed by the peptides derived from partial hydrolysis of ovotransferrin, suggesting a direct relationship between egg consumption and human health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovotransferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein, found in avian egg white and in avian serum, belonging to the family of transferrin iron-binding glycoproteins. All transferrins show high sequence homology. In mammals are presents two different soluble glycoproteins with different functions: i) serum transferrin that is present in plasma and committed to iron transport and iron delivery to cells and ii) lactoferrin that is present in extracellular fluids and in specific granules of polymorphonuclear lymphocytes and committed to the so-called natural immunity. To the contrary, in birds, ovotransferrin remained the only soluble glycoprotein of the transferrin family present both in plasma and egg white. SCOPE OF REVIEW Substantial experimental evidences are summarized, illustrating the multiple physiological roles of ovotransferrin in an attempt to overcome the common belief that ovotransferrin is a protein dedicated only to iron transport and to iron withholding antibacterial activity. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Similarly to the better known family member protein lactoferrin, ovotransferrin appears to be a multi-functional protein with a major role in avian natural immunity. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Biotechnological applications of ovotransferrin and ovotransferrin-related peptides could be considered in the near future, stimulating further research on this remarkable protein. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Transferrins: Molecular mechanisms of iron transport and disorders.

Abstract
Synaptic activity-dependent de novo gene transcription is crucial for long-lasting neuronal plasticity and long-term memory. In a forebrain neuronal conditional NF-kappaB-deficient mouse model, we demonstrate here that the transcription factor NF-kappaB regulates spatial memory formation, synaptic transmission, and plasticity. Gene profiling experiments and analysis of regulatory regions identified the alpha catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA), an essential memory regulator, as a new NF-kappaB target gene. Consequently, NF-kappaB inhibition led to a decrease in forskolin-induced CREB phosphorylation. Collectively, these results disclose a novel hierarchical transcriptional network involving NF-kappaB, PKA, and CREB that leads to concerted nuclear transduction of synaptic signals in neurons, accounting for the critical function of NF-kappaB in learning and memory.

Abstract
Gelatinase A (matrix metalloproteinase-2) plays a prominent role in multiple biologic processes. Prior studies have established critical roles for gelatinase A transcriptional regulation by defined enhancer elements. To determine possible functional single nucleotide polymorphisms within these elements, we determined the single nucleotide polymorphism distribution within 1,665 bp of the gelatinase A 5'-flanking region, using a healthy homogeneous Caucasian study group of 463 individuals. Among the polymorphisms detected, a G --> A transition at bp -1575 was located immediately 5' to a half-palindromic potential estrogen receptor binding site. In estrogen receptor-positive MCF-7 cells the -1575G allele functioned as an enhancer, whereas the -1575A allele reduced transcription activity significantly. Gel shift assays confirmed that the differences in allelic expression affected binding of the estrogen receptor-alpha to this region. Cotransfection experiments with an estrogen receptor-alpha expression vector in MDA-MB-231 cells, which do not constitutively express an estrogen receptor, revealed that estrogen receptor is absolutely required for enhancing activity. Allelic distribution analysis indicated that a previously reported C --> T transition within an Sp1 binding site at -1306 was in linkage disequilibrium with the -1575G --> A transition. Luciferase reporter studies of the linked variant -1575A -1306T allele versus the wild type -1575G -1306C allele demonstrated an additive reduction in estrogen-dependent reporter activity. The frequency of the -1575G --> A transition deviated significantly from the expected Hardy-Weinberg distribution in two independently assembled study populations consisting of healthy adult blood donors and newborns of Caucasian origin, both with a calculated 21% reduction in genetic fitness. Gelatinase A is a known estrogen-responsive gene and the demonstration of a loss of function polymorphism within an operational estrogen receptor binding site associated with a decrease in genetic fitness underscores the biologic significance of promoter polymorphism analyses.

Abstract
Yolk specimens from chicken ovaries during oogenesis gave a positive signal for ovalbumin as analyzed by Western blotting, indicating that the ovarian yolk contains ovalbumin. Northern blotting and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction gave a negative signal for ovalbumin mRNA in the liver and other organs except oviduct, whereas the laying hen serum was found to indicate immunologically the presence of ovalbumin. It was therefore assumed that ovalbumin synthesized in the oviduct might partly be secreted into the blood circular system, from which it is taken up into the oocyte.

Abstract
MLN64 is a transmembrane protein that shares homology with the cholesterol binding domain (START domain) of the steroidogenic acute regulatory protein. The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria, where it facilitates cholesterol import into the mitochondria. Crystallographic analysis showed that the START domain of MLN64 is a cholesterol-binding domain. The present work was undertaken to determine which step of the intracellular cholesterol pathway MLN64 participates in. Using immunocytofluorescence, MLN64 colocalizes with LBPA, a lipid found specifically in late endosomes. Electron microscopy indicates that MLN64 is restricted to the limiting membrane of late endosomes. Microinjection or endocytosis of specific antibodies shows that the START domain of MLN64 is cytoplasmic. Deletion and mutagenesis experiments demonstrate that the amino-terminal part of MLN64 is responsible for its addressing. Although this domain does not contain conventional dileucine- or tyrosine-based targeting signals, we show that a dileucine motif (Leu(66)-Leu(67)) and a tyrosine residue (Tyr(89)) are critical for the targeting or the proper folding of the molecule. Finally, MLN64 colocalizes with cholesterol and Niemann Pick C1 protein in late endosomes. However, complementation assays show that MLN64 is not involved in the Niemann Pick C2 disease which, results in cholesterol lysosomal accumulation. Together, our results show that MLN64 plays a role at the surface of the late endosomes, where it might shuttle cholesterol from the limiting membrane to cytoplasmic acceptor(s).

Abstract
Ovalbumin was detected in developing chicken eggs. The large majority of these ovalbumin molecules was found to be in a heat-stable form reminiscent of S-ovalbumin. About 83 and 90% of the ovalbumin population was in a heat-stable form in day 14 or stage 40 amniotic fluid and day 18 or stage 44 egg yolk, respectively, whereas ovalbumin in newly deposited eggs was in the heat-unstable, native form. Purified preparations of stable ovalbumin from egg white and amniotic fluid showed a less ordered configuration than native ovalbumin, as analyzed by circular dichroism and differential scanning calorimetry. In addition, mass spectrometric analysis exhibited distinct size microheterogeneity between the stable and native forms of ovalbumin. Immunohisotochemical study revealed that ovalbumin was present in the central nervous system and other embryonic organs. These results indicated that egg white ovalbumin migrates into the developing embryo while changing its higher order structure.

Abstract
The GAL11 gene product, which copurifies with RNA polymerase II holoenzyme, is necessary for full expression of many, but not all, genes in yeast. Here we shows that the GAL11 dependence of a gene for expression is determined by the core promoter structure. In the GAL80 gene, a gal11 null mutation caused reduction of TATA-dependent transcription, but exerted no effect on initiator-mediated transcription. GAL11 stimulated TATA-dependent transcription, but did not affect the TATA-independent transcription in HIS4. GAL11 was also required for transcription mediated by a canonical TATA sequence but not by a nonconsensus TATA sequence of HIS3. These results suggest that GAL11 is specifically involved in the transcription machinery formed on the TATA element.

Abstract
We have investigated the promoter element(s) required by the cell cycle regulated FO108 human histone H4 gene for control of gene expression during adipocyte proliferation and differentiation. Stable 3T3L1 cell lines were established that express fusion genes in which the histone H4 promoter is joined to chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) as a reporter gene. Expression of the H4CAT fusion genes was monitored in proliferating and confluent 3T3L1 preadipocytes and in differentiating 3T3L1 adipocytes. The results indicate that the H4 cell cycle element (CCE), which mediates S phase-specific stimulation of H4 gene transcription, is not required for transcriptional regulation during differentiation. Instead, a minimal H4 promoter (nucleotides -46 to -11) is sufficient to mediate the complex transcriptional response of H4 gene expression observed during the process of adipocyte differentiation of 3T3L1 cells. In addition, the data suggest that down-regulation of histone gene expression during cellular differentiation may be mediated by passive inactivation of the promoter due to loss of positive regulatory factor(s).

Abstract
The effects of estrogen, dexamethasone, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and transferrin on the messenger RNA (mRNA) contents of ovalbumin and conalbumin in primary cultures of quail oviduct cells were investigated. In the absence of one of the above hormones or factors, a decrease in ovalbumin mRNA was prominent. In particular, removal of IGF-I and transferrin caused a significant effect. Studies using a combination of estrogen, dexamethasone, IGF-I and transferrin indicated that IGF-I cooperates with estrogen or dexamethasone and transferrin works with dexamethasone. Specifically, IGF-I enhanced ovalbumin synthesis or increased cellular ovalbumin mRNA content depending on its concentration in the medium in the presence of estrogen. However, the effects of estrogen, dexamethasone, IGF-I, and transferrin were not similarly observed with conalbumin mRNA. These results show that ovalbumin synthesis is controlled by estrogen or glucocorticoid with IGF-I or transferrin and that cellular ovalbumin mRNA content is also regulated by these hormones or transferrin. In contrast, conalbumin synthesis and cellular content of conalbumin mRNA are not affected by these hormones under the conditions of the present study.

Abstract
Retinoic acid (RA) stimulated the production of erythropoietin (Epo) in a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 cells. The stimulation was due to the accumulation of Epo mRNA. The Epo production in HepG2 cells was also dependent on O2 tension for cell culture but the enhancement of Epo production by RA was independent of O2 tension, indicating that RA exerts its effect through a pathway different from O2. Oral administration of RA to the vitamin A-depleted rats elevated the concentration of Epo in serum. These results suggest that RA up-regulates EPO production in vivo as well as in vitro.

Abstract
Estrogen destabilizes transferrin mRNA in male Xenopus liver in the same manner as observed for albumin and gamma-fibrinogen. The present study examined estrogen regulation of transferrin gene expression in female Xenopus liver and oviduct. In female Xenopus liver estrogen causes the same enhanced degradation of transferrin mRNA from the cytoplasm as seen in males. In contrast, transferrin is induced 3- to 4-fold in both oviduct nuclear and cytoplasmic RNA. The similar increase in transferrin RNA in both preparations suggests a transcriptional mechanism is responsible for this stimulation. Therefore, transferrin expression is differentially regulated in these tissues by the same hormone. Previous experiments showed that Xenopus serum albumin mRNA has a very short (17 residue) poly(A) tail that may play a role in its hormone-regulated instability. Transferrin mRNA has a similarly short poly(A) tail in liver of both male and female Xenopus. Estrogen has no effect on transferrin polyadenylation in liver. Similarly short poly(A) is found on transferrin mRNA from estrogen-deprived oviducts in explant culture. However, addition of estradiol to the medium results in the appearance of a 50-200 nucleotide poly(A) concurrent with induction. Therefore, transferrin mRNA is differentially polyadenylated in Xenopus liver and oviduct. In the latter tissue polyadenylation is under hormonal control.

Abstract
An in situ hybridization method using paraffin-embedded sections was used to characterize the chicken oviduct cells synthesizing ovalbumin mRNA due to the action of estrogen and progesterone. The cytodifferentiation of the oviduct cells was induced by 17 beta-estradiol administration to newly hatched female chicks. To avoid possible effect of estrogen on the action of progesterone the chicks were withdrawn from the estrogen by six days withdrawal period without hormone treatment. Ovalbumin mRNA was not synthesized after a period of estrogen withdrawal. Administration of estrogen induced ovalbumin mRNA in the tubular gland cells. Administration of progesterone induced the expression of ovalbumin mRNA in the surface epithelial cells. It was also found that progesterone induced mucus producing goblet cells in the surface epithelium. Estrogen did not have an effect on the mucus production, which suggests that progesterone could induce the terminal differentiation of the goblet cells. We conclude that the expression of ovalbumin in the surface epithelial cells and in the tubular gland cells is specific for progesterone and estrogen, respectively.

Abstract
We have identified an estrogen-responsive enhancer element (DH3 ERE) in the estrogen-induced DNAase I-hypersensitive region III of the chicken ovalbumin gene, which is located approximately 3.3 kb upstream from the mRNA start site and does not contain palindromic ERE. Four TGACC half-palindromic motifs, separated from each other by more than 100 bp, are responsible for conferring estrogen inducibility either to the proximal ovalbumin gene promoter or to heterologous promoters. Thus, widely spaced half-palindromic ERE motifs can act synergistically. Each half-palindromic motif was shown to bind the estrogen receptor (ER) with a low efficiency in vitro. However, two widely spaced half-palindromic motifs bound the ER cooperatively, much more efficiently than expected from binding to isolated half-ERE motifs. The ovalbumin promoter half-palindromic ERE motif located close to the TATA box was required for the activity of the distal DH3 ERE, but could be replaced by the binding sites of other transactivators.

Abstract
GHF-1 is a pituitary-specific transcription factor responsible for activation of the growth hormone (GH) gene. The GHF1 gene is expressed exclusively in cells of the somatotrophic lineage, and its transcription is extinguished in somatic cell hybrids. The minimal sequences required for differential transcription of GHF1 in GH-expressing and -nonexpressing cell lines and somatic cell hybrids were localized to a 15-bp region surrounding and including its TATA box. This 15-bp fragment acts as a cell type-specific promoter element and is recognized by a transcription factor present in GH-expressing cell lines. Hence, in addition to enhancers and upstream promoter elements, the TATA element (TATA box plus surrounding sequences) can be, in certain cases, an important determinant of cell-type-specific transcription.

Abstract
The proximal region of the ovalbumin gene promoter contains a half-palindromic estrogen-responsive element (ERE) that mediates cell-specific trans-activation by the estrogen receptor (ER). We show that the ovalbumin ERE binds a ubiquitous nucleoprotein complex containing oncoproteins c-Fos and c-Jun. Mutations altering the estrogen inducibility of the promoter prevent the complex formation, which is, however, found in the presence and absence of ER and estradiol. Mutagenesis indicates that the sequence 5'-TGGGTCA-3', containing the half-palindromic ERE, is responsible for induction by phorbol esters of the ovalbumin promoter and is a target for c-fos and c-jun trans-activation. Transfection experiments reveal that c-fos, c-jun, and ER coactivate the ovalbumin promoter. Direct ER interaction with the target sequence is not required, since an ER deleted for its DNA binding domain is functional in the coactivation with c-fos and c-jun. Our data indicate a convergence of hormonal induction and activation of signal transduction pathways at the transcriptional level.

Abstract
Progesterone receptor (PR) is a marker of estrogen action. Its cellular appearance during estrogen (20 mg/kg i.m.)-induced differentiation of the immature chick oviduct was therefore studied by immunohistochemistry. PR was located in the epithelial, mesothelial, submucosal stromal and smooth muscle cells. Progesterone (20 mg/kg i.m.) caused an obvious decrease in PR immunoreactivity without inducing synthesis of progesterone-dependent avidin. Thus mere receptor occupation by ligand is not sufficient for this induction. This paper reports that the expression of PR in the mucosal stromal cell differs from that in other cell types. In the mucosal stromal cell PR was inducible, i.e., not shown without the action of estrogen. The formation of tubular glands did not commence before mucosal stromal cells expressed PR. It would seem that the mucosal stromal cells have a crucial role in mediating epithelial differentiation. The onset of differentiation was preceded by vascularization and invasion of mononuclear cells in the submucosa. It was conspicuous that the smooth muscle cells of arteries also contained PR.

Abstract
We have used in vitro explant cultures of Xenopus laevis skin to investigate the role that the thyroid hormone triiodothyronine (T3) plays in activating the 63-kilodalton (kDa) keratin genes. The activation of these genes in vivo requires two distinct steps, one independent of T3 and one dependent on T3. In this report we have shown that the same two steps are required to fully activate the 63-kDa keratin genes in skin explant cultures, and we have characterized the T3-mediated step in greater detail. Unlike the induction of transcription by T3 or steroid hormones in adult tissues, there was a long latent period of approximately 2 days between the addition of T3 to skin cultures and an increase in concentration of keratin mRNA. While the T3 induction of 63-kDa keratin gene transcription cannot occur until age 48, a short transient exposure of stage 40 skin cultures to T3 resulted in high-level expression of these genes 5 days later, when normal siblings had reached stage 48. This result indicates that T3 induces a stable change in epidermal cells which can be expressed much later, after extensive cell proliferation has occurred in the absence of T3. Once the 63-kDa keratin genes were induced, they were stably expressed, and by the end of metamorphosis T3 had no further effect on their expression. The results suggest that T3 induces constitutive expression of the 63-kDa keratin genes during metamorphosis.

Abstract
The binding of nuclear proteins and the functional activity of the HIV-LTR enhancer repeats in different cell lines (Jurkat, CEM, H9, U937, Raji, B cells, T47D, HeLa, 293, and HepG2 cells) was investigated in vitro. Five distinct complexes formed with the enhancer repeat have been identified by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. The distribution of these complexes varied qualitatively and quantitatively between nuclear proteins from different sources. In the extracts tested, transcription of the HIV-LTR 5' deletion mutants (-453/80, -176/80, -117/80, -103/80, -65/80, and -48/80) was initiated correctly. Transcriptional stimulation dependent upon the presence of the enhancer repeat sequences was observed in all nuclear extracts and was highest in Jurkat, Raji, and B cell extracts. The presence of specific factors and the functional activity of the enhancer repeats as well as other regulatory units in a variety of cells indicates limited host-cell restriction of HIV transcription initiation in vitro.

Abstract
Steroid hormone receptors belong to a family of nuclear receptors that trigger transcriptional activation of target genes by specific binding to DNA recognition sequences, usually located in the 5'-flanking region of the target gene. Nuclear receptors appear to be segmented proteins and extensive structure-function analyses have attempted to elucidate the functional significance of individual segments. Two of these regions have been defined as the domains responsible for recognition of responsive elements of target genes (region C) and hormone binding (region E) (refs 2-7). But the functional significance of the N-terminal region (A/B), which diverges extensively even for a given receptor between different species, has remained obscure. We have previously cloned, expressed and analysed the chicken progesterone receptor (cPR) (ref. 8). This receptor and its human homologue from T47D breast cancer cells are unique among the steroid hormone receptors in that two forms, A and B, are present in equal amounts in cytosolic extracts, the latter having the higher molecular weight. For the chicken progesterone receptor, we have presented evidence suggesting that the cPR form A corresponds to an N-terminally truncated form of B (ref. 8). Here we report on the functional difference between the forms A and B in the transcriptional activation of two target genes.

Abstract
The promoter for eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerase B can be divided into the TATA box (located at -30) and startsite (+1), the upstream element (situated between -40 and about -110), and the enhancer (no fixed position relative to the startsite). Trans-acting factors, which bind to these elements, have been identified and at least partially purified. The role of the TATA box is to bind factors which focus the transcription machinery to initiate at the startsite. The upstream element and the enhancer somehow modulate this interaction, possibly through direct protein-protein interactions. Another class of transcription factors, typified by viral proteins such as the adenovirus EIA products, do not appear to require binding to a particular DNA sequence to regulate transcription. The latest findings in these various subjects are discussed.
