RNA-Seq analysis of microRNA expression profiles in mouse primary CFU-E late erythroid progenitors and Ter119+ mature erythroblasts

ABSTRACT: Using RNA-seq technology, we quantitatively determined the expression profile of microRNAs during mouse terminal erythroid differentiation. CFU-E erythroid progenitors were isolated from E14.5 fetal liver as the Ter119, B220, Mac-1, CD3 and Gr-1 negative, C-Kit positive and 20% high CD71 population. Mature Ter119+ erythroblasts were isolated from E14.5 fetal liver as C-Kit negative and Ter119 positive population. Consistent with nuclear condensation and global gene expression shut down during terminal erythroid differentiation, we found that the majority of microRNAs are downregulated in more mature Ter119+ erythroblasts compared with CFU-E erythroid progenitors.

Using RNA-seq technology, we found that the majority of microRNAs (miRNAs) present in CFU-E erythroid progenitors are down-regulated during terminal erythroid differentiation. Of the developmentally down-regulated miRNAs, ectopic overexpression of miR-191 blocks erythroid enucleation but has minor effects on proliferation and differentiation. We identified two erythroid-enriched and developmentally up-regulated genes, Riok3 and Mxi1, as direct targets of miR-191. Knockdown of either Riok3 or Mxi ...[more]

Project description:It is unclear how epigenetic changes regulate the induction of erythroid-specific genes during terminal erythropoiesis. Here we use global mRNA sequencing (mRNA-seq) and chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing (CHIP-seq) to investigate the changes that occur in mRNA levels, RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) occupancy and multiple post-translational histone modifications when erythroid progenitors differentiate into late erythroblasts. Among genes induced during this developmental transition, there was an increase in the occupancy of Pol II, the activation marks H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K9Ac and H4K16Ac, and the elongation methylation mark H3K79me2. In contrast, genes that were repressed during differentiation showed relative decreases in H3K79me2 levels yet had levels of Pol II binding and active histone marks similar to those in erythroid progenitors. We also found that relative changes in histone modification levels-in particular, H3K79me2 and H4K16ac-were most predictive of gene expression patterns. Our results suggest that in terminal erythropoiesis both promoter and elongation-associated marks contribute to the induction of erythroid genes, while gene repression is marked by changes in histone modifications mediating Pol II elongation. Our data maps the epigenetic landscape of terminal erythropoiesis and suggests that control of transcription elongation regulates gene expression during terminal erythroid differentiation. Mouse fetal liver cells are double-labeled for erythroid-specific TER119 and non erythroid-specific transferrin receptor (CD71) and then sorted by flow-cytometry. E14.5 fetal livers contain at least five distinct populations of cells (R1 through R5); as they progressively differentiate they gain TER119 and then gain and subsequently lose CD71. CFU-E cells and proerythroblasts make up the R1 population; R2 consists of proerythroblasts and early basophilic erythroblasts; R3 includes early and late basophilic erythroblasts; R4 is mostly polychromatophilic and orthochromatophilic erythroblasts; and R5 is comprised of late orthochromatophilic erythroblasts and reticulocytes. We have sorted for R2-R5 cells for RNA-seq experiment.

Project description:Primary murine fetal liver cells were freshly isolated from day e14.5 livers and then sorted for successive differentiation stages by Ter119 and CD71 surface expression (ranging from double-negative CFU-Es to Ter-119 positive enucleated erythrocytes) [Zhang, et al. Blood. 2003 Dec 1; 102(12):3938-46]. RNA isolated from each freshly isolated, stage-sorted population was reverse-transcribed, labelled, and then hybridized onto 3' oligo Affymetrix arrays. Important erythroid specific genes as well as the proteins that regulate them were elucidated through this profiling based on coexpression and differential expression patterns as well as by extracting specific GO categories of genes (such as DNA-binding proteins). Abstract (submitted paper): rationale for expression profiling Gene-targeting experiments report that the homeodomain-interacting protein kinases 1 and 2, Hipk1 and Hipk2, are essential but redundant in hematopoietic developmentâbecause Hipk1/Hipk2 double-deficient animals exhibit severe defects in hematopoiesis and vasculogenesis while the single knockouts do not. These serine-threonine kinases phosphorylate, and consequently modify the functions of, several important hematopoietic transcription factors and cofactors. Here we show that Hipk2 knockdown alone plays a significant role in terminal fetal liver erythroid differentiation. Hipk1 and Hipk2 are highly induced during primary mouse fetal liver erythropoiesis. Specific knockdown of Hipk2 inhibits terminal erythroid cell proliferationâexplained in part by impaired cell cycle progression as well as increased apoptosisâand terminal enucleation as well as the accumulation of hemoglobin. Hipk2 knockdown also reduces the transcription of many genes involved in proliferation and apoptosis as well as important, erythroid-specific genes involved in hemoglobin biosynthesisâsuch as alpha-globin and mitoferrin 1âdemonstrating that Hipk2 plays an important role in some but not all aspects of normal terminal erythroid differentiation.
