Epigenetic regulation of gene expression plays a central role in bladder urothelium development and maintenance. ATPase-dependent chromatin remodeling is a major epigenetic regulatory mechanism, but its role in the bladder has not been explored. Here, we show the functions of Arid1a, the largest subunit of the SWI/SNF or BAF chromatin remodeling ATPase complex, in embryonic and adult bladder urothelium. Knockout of Arid1a in urothelial progenitor cells significantly increases cell proliferation during bladder development. Deletion of Arid1a causes ectopic cell proliferation in the terminally differentiated superficial cells in adult mice. Consistently, gene-set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes demonstrates that the cell cycle-related pathways are significantly enriched in Arid1a knockouts. Gene-set of the polycomb repression complex 2 (PRC2) pathway is also enriched, suggesting that Arid1a antagonizes the PRC2-dependent epigenetic gene silencing program in the bladder. During acute cyclophosphamide-induced bladder injury, Arid1a knockouts develop hyperproliferative and hyperinflammatory phenotypes and exhibit a severe loss of urothelial cells. A Hallmark gene-set of the oxidative phosphorylation pathway is significantly reduced in Aria1a mutants before injury and is unexpectedly enriched during injury response. Together, this study uncovers functions of Arid1a in both bladder progenitor cells and the mature urothelium, suggesting its critical roles in urothelial development and regeneration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001743 Urinary Bladder A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION. Bladder,Bladder Detrusor Muscle,Detrusor Urinae,Bladder Detrusor Muscles,Bladder, Urinary,Detrusor Muscle, Bladder,Detrusor Muscles, Bladder
D004268 DNA-Binding Proteins Proteins which bind to DNA. The family includes proteins which bind to both double- and single-stranded DNA and also includes specific DNA binding proteins in serum which can be used as markers for malignant diseases. DNA Helix Destabilizing Proteins,DNA-Binding Protein,Single-Stranded DNA Binding Proteins,DNA Binding Protein,DNA Single-Stranded Binding Protein,SS DNA BP,Single-Stranded DNA-Binding Protein,Binding Protein, DNA,DNA Binding Proteins,DNA Single Stranded Binding Protein,DNA-Binding Protein, Single-Stranded,Protein, DNA-Binding,Single Stranded DNA Binding Protein,Single Stranded DNA Binding Proteins
D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014157 Transcription Factors Endogenous substances, usually proteins, which are effective in the initiation, stimulation, or termination of the genetic transcription process. Transcription Factor,Factor, Transcription,Factors, Transcription
D044127 Epigenesis, Genetic A genetic process by which the adult organism is realized via mechanisms that lead to the restriction in the possible fates of cells, eventually leading to their differentiated state. Mechanisms involved cause heritable changes to cells without changes to DNA sequence such as DNA METHYLATION; HISTONE modification; DNA REPLICATION TIMING; NUCLEOSOME positioning; and heterochromatization which result in selective gene expression or repression.

D018345 Mice, Knockout Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes. Knockout Mice,Mice, Knock-out,Mouse, Knockout,Knock-out Mice,Knockout Mouse,Mice, Knock out
D019459 Urothelium The epithelial lining of the URINARY TRACT. Urinary Tract Epithelium,Epithelium, Urinary Tract
D063151 Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 A multisubunit polycomb protein complex that catalyzes the METHYLATION of chromosomal HISTONE H3. It works in conjunction with POLYCOMB REPRESSIVE COMPLEX 1 to effect EPIGENETIC REPRESSION.
