Project description:Despite major advances in the generation of genome-wide binding maps, the mechanisms by which transcription factors (TFs) regulate cell type identity have remained largely obscure. Through comparative analysis of 10 key haematopoietic TFs in both mast cells and blood progenitors, we demonstrate that the largely cell-type specific binding profiles are not opportunistic, but instead contribute to cell-type specific transcriptional control, because (1) mathematical modelling of differential binding of shared TFs can explain differential gene expression, (2) cell-type specific binding is largely mediated through consensus binding sites, and (3) knock-down of blood stem cell regulators Gata2 and Erg in mast cells reveals mast cell specific genes as direct targets. Finally we show that the known mast cell regulators Mitf and c-Fos likely contribute to the global reorganisation of TF binding profiles. Taken together therefore, our study elucidates how key regulatory TFs contribute to transcriptional programmes in several distinct mammalian cell types. Comparison of HPC7 cell line (haematopoietic multipotent progenitor) and primary mast cells. 10 key haematopoietic transcription factors and mRNA expression were profiled in both cell types.

Project description:The nuclear receptor Peroxisome Proliferator Activator Receptor (PPAR ) is the target of antidiabetic thiazolidinedione drugs, which improve insulin resistance but have side-effects that limit widespread use. PPAR is required for adipocyte differentiation, but is also expressed in other cell types, notably macrophages, where it influences atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and inflammation. A central question is whether PPAR binding in macrophages occurs at the same or different genomic locations compared to adipocytes. Here, utilizing chromatin immunoprecipitation and high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq), we demonstrate that PPAR cistromes in adipocytes and macrophages are predominantly cell type specific. In macrophages, PPAR colocalizes with the hematopoietic transcription factor PU.1 in areas of open chromatin and histone acetylation, near a distinct set of immune genes in addition to a number of metabolic genes shared with adipocytes. In adipocytes, the macrophage-unique binding regions are marked with repressive histone modifications, typically associated with local chromatin compaction and gene silencing. PPAR , when introduced into cells that are neither macrophages nor adipocytes, bound only to regions depleted of repressive histone modifications, where it increased DNA accessibility, enhanced histone acetylation, and induced gene expression. Thus, the cell-specificity of PPAR function is regulated by cell-specific chromatin accessibility, histone marks, and transcription factors. Genomic occupancy profiled by high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) from mouse macrophages for PPARgamma, PU.1, C/EBPbeta, H3K9Ace; and from 3T3-L1 adipocytes for PPARgamma and H3K9Ace Masking file used to subtract input bias areas prior to generating final peak lists is linked below.

Project description:Stem and progenitor cells undergo a global elevation of nascent transcription, or hypertranscription, during key developmental transitions involving rapid cell proliferation. The chromatin remodeler Chd1 binds to RNA Pol I and II genes and is required for hypertranscription in embryonic stem (ES) cells in vitro and the early post-implantation epiblast in vivo. Biochemically, Chd1 has been shown to facilitate transcription at least in part by removing nucleosomal barriers to elongation, but its mechanism of action in stem cells remains poorly understood. Here we report a novel role for Chd1 in the repair of promoter-proximal endogenous double-stranded DNA breaks (DSBs) in ES cells. An unbiased proteomics approach revealed that Chd1 interacts with several DNA repair factors including ATM, Parp1, Kap1 and Topoisomerase 2. We show that wild-type ES cells display high levels of phosphorylated H2AX and Kap1 at chromatin, notably at rDNA in the nucleolus, in a Chd1-dependent manner. Loss of Chd1 leads to an extensive accumulation of DSBs at Chd1 target Pol II genes and rDNA. Genes prone to DNA breaks in Chd1-null ES cells tend to be longer genes with GC-rich promoters, a more labile nucleosomal structure and roles in chromatin organization, transcription and signaling. These results reveal a vulnerability of hypertranscribing stem cells to endogenous DNA breaks, with important implications for developmental and cancer biology.

Project description:Cellular decision-making is mediated by a complex interplay of external stimuli with the intracellular environment, in particular transcription factor regulatory networks. Here we have determined the expression of a network of 18 key haematopoietic transcription factors (TFs) in 597 single primary blood stem and progenitor cells isolated from mouse bone marrow. We demonstrate that different stem/progenitor populations are characterised by distinctive TF expression states, and through comprehensive bioinformatic analysis reveal positively and negatively correlated TF pairings, including previously unrecognised relationships between Gata2, Gfi1 and Gfi1b. Validation using transcriptional and transgenic assays confirmed direct regulatory interactions consistent with a novel regulatory triad in immature blood stem cells, where Gata2 may function to modulate cross-inhibition between Gfi1 and Gfi1b. Single cell expression profiling therefore identifies network states and allows reconstruction of network hierarchies involved in controlling stem cell fate choices, and provides a blueprint for studying both normal development and human disease.

Project description:The transcription factors Batf3 and IRF8 are required for development of CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), but the basis for their actions was unclear. Here, we identify two novel Zbtb46+ progenitors that separately generate CD8α+ and CD4+ cDCs and arise directly from the common DC progenitor (CDP). Irf8 expression in the CDP depends on prior PU.1-dependent autoactivation, and specification of pre-CD8 DC progenitors requires IRF8 but not Batf3. However, upon pre-CD8 DC specification, Irf8 autoactivation becomes Batf3-dependent at a CD8α+ cDC-specific enhancer containing multiple AP1-IRF composite elements (AICEs) within the Irf8 superenhancer. CDPs from Batf3-/- mice that specify toward pre-CD8 DCs fail to complete CD8α+ cDC development due to decay of Irf8 autoactivation, and divert to the CD4+ cDC lineage. Examination of histone modifications (H3K27ac and H3K4me1) and 2 transcription factors (Batf3 and Irf8) and the p300 co-factor binding in 3 different dendritic cell subsets
