SETDB1 Represses Endogenous and Exogenous Retroviruses in B Lymphocytes [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Genome stability relies on epigenetic mechanisms that enforce repression of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). Current evidence suggests that distinct chromatin-based mechanisms repress ERVs in cells of embryonic origin (histone methylation-dominant) versus more differentiated cells (DNA methylation-dominant). However, the latter aspect of this model has not been tested. Remarkably, and in contrast to the prevailing model, we find that repressive histone methylation catalyzed by the enzyme SETDB1 is critical for suppression of specific ERV families and exogenous retroviruses in committed B-lineage cells from adult mice. The profile of ERV activation in SETDB1-deficient B cells is distinct from that observed in corresponding embryonic tissues, despite the loss of repressive chromatin modifications at all ERVs. We provide evidence that, upon loss of SETDB1, ERVs are activated in a lineage-specific manner depending on the set of transcription factors available to target proviral regulatory elements. These findings have important implications for genome stability in somatic cells, as well as the interface between epigenetic repression and viral latency.

Dominant role of DNA methylation over H3K9me3 in ERV silencing during embryonic endoderm development [ChIP-Suv39]

Project description:Silencing of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is largely mediated by repressive chromatin modifications, such as H3K9me3 and DNA methylation. Their impact on ERV silencing differs in various cell types and, no systematic analyses on the interdependence between H3K9me3 and DNA methylation have been performed in differentiated cells. Here we show that deletion of the H3K9me3 HMTase Setdb1 in mouse embryonic endoderm results in ERV de-repression in only a subset of endoderm cells. We found that de-repression is restricted to visceral endoderm descendants and does not occur in definitive endoderm cells. Deletion of Setdb1 in visceral endoderm progenitors resulted in loss of H3K9me3 and reduced DNA methylation of IAPEz, consistent with up-regulation of this ERV family. In definitive endoderm cells, loss of Setdb1 did not affect H3K9me3 nor DNA methylation, suggesting Setdb1-independent pathways for maintaining these modifications. Importantly, Dnmt1 ko resulted in ERV de-repression in both visceral and definitive endoderm cells, while H3K9me3 was unaltered. Thus, our data suggest a dominant role of DNA methylation over H3K9me3 in ERV silencing in endoderm cells. Our findings suggest, that H3K9me3 is not sufficient for ERV silencing, but rather critical for maintaining high DNA methylation.

Setdb1 is required for persistence of H3K9me3 and repression of endogenous retroviruses in mouse primordial germ cells

Project description:Transcription of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is inhibited by de novo DNA methylation during gametogenesis, a process initiated after birth in oocytes and at ~E15.5 in prospermatogonia. Earlier in germline development however, the genome, including most retrotransposons, is progressively demethylated, with young ERVK and ERV1 elements retaining intermediate methylation levels. As DNA methylation reaches a low point in E13.5 primordial germ cells (PGCs) of both sexes, we determined whether retrotransposons are marked by H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 using a recently developed low input ChIP-seq method. Although these repressive histone modifications are predominantly found on distinct genomic regions in E13.5 PGCs, they concurrently mark partially methylated LTRs and LINE1 elements. Germline-specific conditional knock-out (KO) of the H3K9 methyltransferase SETDB1 yields a decrease of both histone marks and DNA methylation at H3K9me3 enriched retrotransposon families. Strikingly, Setdb1-KO E13.5 PGCs show concomitant de-repression of many marked ERVs, including IAP, ETn and ERVK10C elements and ERV-proximal genes, a subset in a sex-dependent manner. Furthermore, Setdb1 deficiency is associated with a reduced number of male PGCs and postnatal hypogonadism in both sexes. Taken together, these observations reveal that SETDB1 is an essential guardian against proviral expression prior to the onset of de novo DNA methylation in the germline.

A somatic role for the histone methyltransferase Setdb1 in endogenous retrovirus silencing [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Subsets of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are derepressed in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) deficient for Setdb1, which catalyzes histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation (H3K9me3). Most of those ERVs, including IAPs, remain silent if Setdb1 is deleted in differentiated embryonic cells; however they are derepressed when deficient for Dnmt1, suggesting that Setdb1 is dispensable for ERV silencing in somatic cells. However, H3K9me3 enrichment on ERVs is maintained in differentiated cells and is mostly diminished in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking Setdb1. We find that distinctive sets of ERVs are reactivated in different types of Setdb1-deficient somatic cells, including the VL30-class of ERVs in MEFs, whose derepression is dependent on cell type-specific transcription factors (TFs). These data suggest a more general role for Setdb1 in ERV silencing, which provides an additional layer of epigenetic silencing through the H3K9me3 modification.
