Gene expression analysis of wild type and KAP1 KO mouse T cell progenitors

ABSTRACT: The modulation of chromatin status at specific genomic loci controls lymphoid differentiation. Here, we investigated the role played in this process by KAP1, the universal cofactor of KRAB-containing Zinc Finger Proteins (KRAB-ZFPs), a tetrapod-restricted family of transcriptional repressors. T cell-specific Kap1 knockout mice displayed a significant expansion of immature thymocytes and imbalances in the ratios of mature T cells in the thymus and the spleen, with impaired responses to TCR stimulation. Transcriptome and chromatin studies revealed that KAP1 directly controls the expression of a number of genes involved in TCR and cytokine signalling, among which Traf1 and FoxO1, and is strongly associated with cis-acting regulatory elements marked by the H3K9me3 repressive mark on the genome of thymic T cells. Likely responsible for tethering KAP1 to at least part of its genomic targets, a small number of KRAB/ZFPs are selectively expressed in T lymphoid cells. These results reveal the so far unsuspected yet important role of KRAB/KAP1-mediated epigenetic regulation in T lymphocyte differentiation and activation. Cells were harvested form the thymus of 3 CD4-Cre/Kap1flox (KAP1 KO in the T lineage) mice and 3 wt/Kap1flox littermate controls

ChIP-seq analysis of KAP1 binding and H3K9me3 modifications in mouse T cell progenitors

Project description:Chromatin remodelling at specific genomic loci controls lymphoid differentiation. Here, we investigated the role played in this process by Kruppel-Associated Box (KRAB)- Associated Protein 1 (KAP1), the universal cofactor of KRAB-zinc finger proteins (-ZFPs), a tetrapod-restricted family of transcriptional repressors. T cell-specific Kap1-deleted mice displayed a significant expansion of immature thymocytes, imbalances in CD4+/CD8+ cell ratios and impaired responses to TCR stimulation when compared to littermate KAP1 control mice. Transcriptome and chromatin studies revealed that KAP1 binds T cell-specific cis-acting regulatory elements marked by the H3K9me3 repressive mark and enriched in Ikaros/NuRD complexes. Also, KAP1 directly controls the expression of several genes involved in TCR and cytokine signalling. Among these, regulation of FoxO1 seems to play a major role in this system. Likely responsible for tethering KAP1 to at least part of its genomic targets, a small number of KRAB-ZFPs are selectively expressed in T lymphoid cells. These results reveal the so-far unsuspected yet important role of KAP1-mediated epigenetic regulation in T lymphocyte differentiation and activation. Examination of KAP1 binding sites and H3K9me3-enriched regions in wild type and KAP1 KO mouse thymocytes.

Gene expression analysis of wild type and KAP1 KO splenic B cells

Project description:Chromatin remodeling is fundamental for B cell differentiation. Here, we explored the role in this process of KAP1, the cofactor of KRAB-ZFP transcriptional repressors. B lymphoid-specific Kap1 knockout mice displayed reduced numbers of mature B cells, lower steady-state levels of antibodies and accelerated rates of decay of neutralizing antibodies following viral immunization. Transcriptome analyses of Kap1-deleted B splenocytes revealed an upregulation of PTEN, the enzymatic counter-actor of PIK3 signaling, and of genes encoding DNA damage response factors, cell-cycle regulators and chemokine receptors. ChIP/seq studies established that KAP1 bound at or close to a number of these genes, and controlled chromatin status at their promoters. Genome-wide, KAP1-binding sites avoided active B cell-specific enhancers and were enriched in repressive histone marks, further supporting a role for this molecule in gene silencing in vivo. Likely responsible for tethering KAP1 to at least some of these targets, a discrete subset of KRAB-ZFPs is enriched in B lymphocytes. This work thus reveals the role of KRAB/KAP1-mediated epigenetic regulation in B cell development and homeostasis. Follicular (FO) and Transcriptional 2 Follicular Progenitor (T2-FP) B cells were sorted out from 3 CD19-Cre/Kap1flox (KAP1 KO in the B lineage) mice and 3 wt/Kap1flox littermate controls

Transposable elements and their KRAB-ZFP controllers regulate gene expression in adult tissues

Project description:The tetrapod-restricted KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are essential early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress via their cofactor KAP1 and associated effectors through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a target-centered functional screen, we matched several murine TEs with their cognate KRAB-ZFP. This revealed an unexpected level of granularity in their interactions, with KRAB-ZFPs recognizing TEs from more than one subfamily, TEs recruiting more than one KRAB-ZFP, and spatially and temporally differential KRAB-ZFP-mediated regulation of TEs and nearby genes. Most importantly, we discovered that the KRAB/KAP1 system controls TEs in adult tissues, in cell culture and in vivo, where they partner up to regulate the expression of cellular genes. Therefore, TEs and KRAB-ZFPs establish widely active transcription networks that regulate not only development but probably also many physiological events. Given the high degree of species-specificity of both TEs and KRAB-ZFPs, these results have important implications for studying and understanding the biology of higher vertebrates, including humans.

Interplay of TRIM28 and DNA methylation in controlling human endogenous retroelements

Project description:Reverse transcription-derived sequences account for at least half of the human genome. Although these retroelements are formidable motors of evolution, they can occasionally cause disease, and accordingly are inactivated during early embryogenesis through epigenetic mechanisms. In the mouse, at least for endogenous retroviruses, important mediators of this process are the tetrapod-specific KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) and their cofactor TRIM28. The present study demonstrates that KRAB/TRIM28-mediated regulation is responsible for controlling a very broad range of human-specific endogenous retroelements (EREs) in human embryonic stem (ES) cells and that it exerts, as a consequence, a marked effect on the transcriptional dynamics of these cells. It further reveals reciprocal dependence between TRIM28 recruitment at specific families of EREs and DNA methylation. It finally points to the importance of persistent TRIM28-mediated control of ERE transcriptional impact beyond their presumed inactivation by DNA methylation.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state and KAP1 occupancy in KRAB zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) gene cluster KO ES cells and testis

Project description:We have shown that many mouse KRAB-ZFPs target retrotransposons which are generally marked by H3K9me3 and KAP1 in ES cells. To test whether these KRAB-ZFPs are require to establish and maintain repressive chromatin marks at these elements, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against KAP1 (2 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs) and H3K9me3 (5 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs). We show that KRAB-ZFP targeted retrotransposons show reduced KAP1 binding and H3K9me3 in these KO ES cells. Furthermore, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against histone modifications typical for promoters and enhancers in Chr4-cl KO ES cells and testis. We show that, in ES cells, ETn retrotransposons gain signatures of active enhancers which acts on earby gene expression. In testis, a handful of different retrotransposons gain enhancer marks, although to a lesser degree. In conclusion, our data shows that KRAB-ZFPs are required to maintain H3K9me3 at retrotransposons in ES cells and to prevent some retrotransposons of becoming enhancers that affect gene expression patterns.
