Genome wide co-localization of Polycomb orthologs and their effects on gene expression in human fibroblasts

ABSTRACT: We have identfied antibodies that support chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of 11 components of Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and shown that multiple variants of PRC1 associate with the same DNA. By performing ChIP-seq with antibodies against CBX6, CBX7, CBX8, RING1 and RING2, in two strains of human fibroblasts, we find that all five proteins co-localize at multiple sites in the genome. The binding profiles have inherent architecture that is conserved between the two strains, but there are also a substantial number of differences between the strains, possibly reflecting their anatomical position. The presence of PcG proteins does not equate with gene silencing and their genomic position does not change at senescence. Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) in two strains of human fibroblasts using antibodies against three Pc orthologs (CBX6, CBX7 and CBX8) and both Psc orthologs (RING1 and 2). Validation by ChIP-PCR and re-ChIP. Strand specific RNA-seq and validation by qRT-PCR.

Polycomb Cbx orthologs mediate the balance between Hematopoietic Stem Cell self-renewal and differentiation

Project description:By genome-wide ChIP-seq analyses we show that Cbx7 and Cbx8 share ~95% of their targets in bone marrow cells. Cbx7 and Cbx8 have only ~200 targets that are not overlapping between the two proteins. These distinct Cbx7 and Cbx8 targets show reciprocal expression patterns along hematopoietic differentiation. Overexpression of empty vector (negative control), flag-Cbx7 and flag-Cbx8 in 5-FU treated bone marrow cells (progenitor and stem cells), followed by 1 week culture and subsequent ChIP using flag-M2 agarose beads.

Definition of the fibroblast SRF-mediated immediate-early transcriptional response

Project description:To control transcription, SRF recruits signal-regulated co-activators, the Ternary Complex Factors (TCFs) and the Myocardin-related Transcription Factors (MRTFs), which compete for a common site on its DNA-binding domain. The TCFs - SAP-1, Elk-1 and Net - are Ets proteins that link SRF activity to Ras-ERK signalling. In contrast, the two MRTFs, MRTF-A and MRTF-B, link SRF activity to Rho-actin signalling. In this novel signalling pathway, the actin-binding MRTF RPEL domain acts as a G-actin sensor, controlling MRTF nuclear accumulation in response to signal-induced depletion of the G-actin pool. Previous studies have suggested that the Ras-ERK signalling and Rho-actin pathways control specific subsets of SRF target genes. We used ChIP-seq and RNA-seq to analyse the immediate-early transcriptional response in NIH3T3 fibroblasts, using pathway-specific inhibitors to identify the contributions of Ras-ERK and Rho-actin signalling Chromatin immunoprecipitation and sequencing (ChIP-seq) in NIH3T3 fibroblast after serum stimulation in presence or absence of LatrunculinB or U0126 drugs and using antibodies against SRF, MRTF-A, MRTF-B, SAP1, ELK1, NET, Pol II, PolII S5P, PolII S2P and total H3. Validation by ChIP-PCR. Strand specific total-RNA-seq following DSN normalisation and validation by qRT-PCR from NIH3T3 stimulated by serum or Cytochalasin D in presence or absence of LatrunculinB and/or U0126 drugs.

MRTF-SRF signaling is required for seeding of HSC/Ps in bone marrow during development

Project description:Chemokine signaling is important for the seeding of different sites by hematopoietic stem cells during development. Serum Response Factor (SRF) controls multiple genes governing adhesion and migration, mainly by recruiting members of the Myocardin-Related Transcription Factor (MRTF) family of G-actin regulated cofactors. We used vav-iCre to inactivate MRTF-SRF signaling early during hematopoietic development. In both Srf- and Mrtf-deleted animals, hematopoiesis in fetal liver and spleen is intact, but does not become established in fetal bone marrow. Srf-null HSC/Ps (hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells) fail to effectively engraft in transplantation experiments, exhibiting normal proximal signaling responses to SDF-1, but reduced adhesiveness, F-actin assembly, and reduced motility. Srf-null HSC/Ps fail to polarise in response to SDF-1, and cannot migrate through restrictive membrane pores to SDF-1 or Scf in vitro. Mrtf-null HSC/Ps were also defective in chemotactic responses to SDF-1. MRTF-SRF signaling is thus critical for the response to chemokine signaling during hematopoietic development. Strand specific RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in sorted WT and SRF deleted LSK cells with or without a 30 minute SDF stimulation and validation by qRT-PCR

A Cbx8-containing Polycomb complex facilitates gene activation during ES cell differentiation [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Polycomb proteins play an essential role in maintaining the repression of developmental genes in self-renewing embryonic stem cells. The exact mechanism allowing the derepression of polycomb target genes during cell differentiation remains unclear. Here, we show that several differentiation genes transiently recruit a Cbx8-containing Polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 1 during their early activation. Depletion of Cbx8 partially impairs the transcriptional activation of these genes. This correlates with a reduction in low but detectable levels of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation. Prolonged gene activation results in eviction of PRC1 despite persisting H3K27me3. The composition of PRC1 is highly modular and changes when ES cells commit to differentiation. We further demonstrate that the exchange of Cbx7 for Cbx8 is required for the effective activation of differentiation genes. Taken together our results establish a function for a Cbx8-containing complex in facilitating the transition from a Polycomb-repressed chromatin state to an active state. As this affects several key regulatory differentiation genes this mechanism is likely to contribute to the robust execution of differentiation programs.

Four biological replicates were used for each condition (untreated and after 72h of retinoic acid stimulation) and samples were prepared and hybridized to SurePrint G3 Gene Expression Microarrays (Agilent technologies) following the supplier's instructions. Analyses were essentially performed as described (Uribesalgo et al. 2011) selecting differentially expressed probes with a FDR of 0.05 and fold change of > 1.5.
