Engrailed homeoprotein protects mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons from oxidative stress

ABSTRACT: Engrailed homeoproteins are expressed in adult dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. In Engrailed1 heterozygous mice, these neurons start dying at 6 weeks, are more sensitive to oxidative stress and progressively develop traits similar to those observed following an acute and strong oxidative stress inflected to wild-type neurons. These changes include DNA strand breaks and the modification (intensity and distribution) of several nuclear and nucleolar heterochromatin marks. Engrailed1 and Engrailed2 are biochemically equivalent transducing proteins previously used to antagonize dopaminergic neuron death in Engrailed heterozygous mice and in mouse models of Parkinson disease. Accordingly, we show that, following an acute oxidative stress, a single Engrailed2 injection restores all nuclear and nucleolar heterochromatin marks, decreases the number of DNA strand breaks and protects dopaminergic neurons against apoptosis. RNA-seq data for differentially expressed genes in the SNpc of En1+/- mice, En2 infused mice and 6-OHDA/En2 injection experiments.

Lineage-specific function of Engrailed-2 in the progression of chronic myelogenous leukemia to T cell blast crisis

Project description:Deregulations in transcription factors lead to abnormal development, like in leukaemias, where chromosomal abnormalities either create chimeric TFs or alter the expression of the existing ones. The characterization of the precise functions of the TFs that regulate blood formation is essential to understand how these mechanisms are altered in malignancies. We have found that Engrailed-2 becomes methylated in the progression to blast crises of T-cell phenotype in chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) in human samples. Subsequently we found that En2 is expressed during T-cell development in the mouse and in humans. Engrailed-2 plays an essential role in central nervous system development but it has not been shown to participate in haematopoiesis. Many TFs have been found to play essential functions both in nervous system and blood development, thus making En2 a likely candidate to be involved in haematopoiesis. We have studied haematopoiesis of wild-type vs. En2 knockout mice. To increase our understanding of the possible molecular role(s) of En2 during T cell development, we have compared by microarray analysis the gene expression patterns of En2-/- versus WT sorted DP thymocytes and also CD8+ splenocytes (the two populations in which we had detected En2 expression).

Pho and Ph, H3K27me3 and Engrailed ChIP-seq data in Drosophila third instar larval brains and disks

Project description:Genome-wide binding profile of PcG proteins Pho and Ph, H3K27me3 and Engrailed in Drosophila third instar larval brains and disks, in duplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed. Drosophila third instar larval brains and disks were dissected and fixed with 2% HCHO before sonication. After sonication, chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-Pho, -Ph, -H3K27me3, and -Engrailed antibodies was carried out.

Nigral Transcriptomic Profiles in Engrailed-1 Hemizygous Mouse Models of Parkinson’s Disease Reveal Upregulation of Oxidative Phosphorylation-Related Genes Associated with Resistance to Dopaminergic Neurodegeneration

Project description:Engrailed 1 (EN1) is a conserved transcription factor essential for programming, survival, and maintenance of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. En1-hemizygosity (En1+/-) leads to a spontaneous Parkinson’s disease-like (PD-like) progressive nigrostriatal degeneration as well as motor impairment and depressive-like behavior in SwissOF1 (OF1-En1+/-) mice. This phenotype is absent in C57Bl/6j (C57-En1+/-) mice. Here we studied PD-like phenotypes and early transcriptome profiles in OF1 wild-type (WT) and OF1-En1+/- male mice and compare to that of C57 WT and C57-En1+/- male mice. To detect transcriptional changes prior to dopaminergic cell loss, we performed RNA-seq of 1-week old mice substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Histology and stereology were used to assess dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathology in 4 and 16 weeks old mice. OF1-En1+/- mice showed an increase (79%) in dopaminergic striatal axonal swellings from 4 to 16 weeks and a loss (23%) of dopaminergic neurons in the SNpc at 16 weeks compared to OF1 WT. Axonal swellings were also present in C57-En1+/- mice but did not increase over time. 52 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed between the C57-WT and the C57-En1+/- mice, while 198 DEGs were observed in the OF1 strain. Enrichment analysis revealed that the neuroprotective phenotype of C57-En1+/- mice was associated with an upregulation of oxidative phosphorylation-related genes compared to both C57 WT and to OF1- En1+/- mice. These results highlight the importance of considering genetic background in PD models and provide valuable insight on how expression of mitochondrial proteins before the onset of neurodegeneration is associated to vulnerability of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons.
