Trimethylation of histone H3 on Lys 27 (H3K27me3) is key for cell fate regulation. The H3K27me3 demethylase UTX functions in development and tumor suppression with undefined mechanisms. Here, genome-wide chromatin occupancy analysis of UTX and associated histone modifications reveals distinct classes of UTX target genes, including genes encoding Retinoblastoma (RB)-binding proteins. UTX removes H3K27me3 and maintains expression of several RB-binding proteins, enabling cell cycle arrest. Genetic ...[more]

Project description:Increasing studies suggest that SALL4 may play vital roles in leukemogenesis. We have used chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by microarray hybridization as a screening tool to determine potential genes that may account for the role SALL4 plays in leukemogenesis. Analysis of SALL4 binding sites reveals that genes involved in cell death, cancer, DNA replication/repair, and cell cycle were highly enriched (p<0.05). These genes include 38 important apoptosis-inducing genes (TNF, TP53, PTEN, CARD9, CARD11, CYCS, LTA) and apoptosis-inhibiting genes (Bmi-1, BCL2, XIAP, DAD1, TEGT). Real-time PCR has shown that expression levels of these genes changed significantly after SALL4 knockdown, which ubiquitously led to cell apoptosis. Flow cytometry revealed that reduction of SALL4 expression in NB4 and other leukemia cell lines dramatically increased caspase-3, Annexin V, and DNA fragmentation activity. Bromodeoxyuridine-incorporation assays showed decreased numbers of S phase cells and increased numbers of G1- and G2- phase cells indicating reduced DNA synthesis, consistent with results from cell proliferation assays. In addition, NB4 cells that express low levels of SALL4 have significantly decreased tumorigenecity in immunodeficient mice. Our studies provide a foundation in the development of leukemia stem cell-specific therapy by targeting SALL4. Keywords: ChIP-chip The global targets of SALL4 were determined using a NimbleGen promoter tiling array (2.7kb, information below) in the human cell line NB4. Because SALL4 is thought to play a significant role in leukemogenesis we focused primarily on genes involved in apoptosis and only used the ChIP-chip array as a screening tool to identify potential genes that may bind these genes. Upon identification and verification of apoptosis genes bound by SALL4 we utilized functional assays to determine the effect of SALL4 on these genes. In addition, gene expression profiling was used to determine pathways functionally altered by Sall4 reduction.

Project description:Embryonic stem cells have potential utility in regenerative medicine due to their pluripotent characteristics. Sall4, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is expressed very early in embryonic development with Oct4 and Nanog, two well characterized pluripotency regulators. Sall4 plays an important role in governing the fate of stem cells through transcriptional regulation of both Oct4 and Nanog. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to microarray hybridization (ChIP on Chip), we have mapped global gene targets of Sall4 unveiling possible regulation of broad ES cell functions. Approximately 5,000 genes were identified that were bound by the Sall4 protein and many of these have major functions in developmental and regulatory pathways. Sall4 bound more than six times as many annotated genes within promoter regions as Oct4 and twice as many as Nanog. Immunoprecipitation revealed a heterotrimeric protein complex between Sall4, Oct4, and Nanog, consistent with binding site co-occupancies. Further, Sall4 bound many genes that are regulated in part by the chromatin-based epigenetic events mediated by polycomb-repressive complexes and bivalent domains. This suggests that Sall4 plays a central and diverse role in regulating stem cell pluripotency during early embryonic development that involves integration of transcriptional and epigenetic control processes. Keywords: ChIP-chip We used ChIP-chip to map global promoter bound by Sall4, a zinc finger transcription factor. Growing evidence has suggested that Sall4 plays a vital role in ES cell pluripotency maintenance. Evidence for this includes its recent use as a marker for somatic cell reprogramming, in a genetic signature for ES cells, and evidence that Sall4 enhances reprogramming. These recent findings and two previously described interactions with Oct4 and Nanog strongly support the role of Sall4 in ES cells. This hypothesis was furthered here as we show that Sall4 plays important roles through transcriptional regulation of vital ES cell genes.
