Analysis of changes in gene expression in skin epidermis upon conditional knockout of PRC2-subunit Eed

ABSTRACT: Analysis of changes in gene expression in skin epidermis upon conditional knockout of the essential Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) subunit Eed. Loss of Eed in skin epithelium leads to de-repression of key Merkel-differentiation genes, which are known PRC2 targets, and results in ectopic formation of Merkel cells that are associated with all hair types. Gene expression analysis: To determine the changes in gene expression in skin epidermis upon conditional knockout of Eed, total RNA was isolated from skin epidermis in four biologic replicates from cells in different conditions and hybridized to SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8X60K microarrays (Agilent).

Effect of Gnas knockout on mouse skin

Project description:Analysis of skin lesions from adult mice with epidermal conditional deletion of heterotrimeric G protein Galpha s in cytokeratin 14 positive cells, compared with control mouse skin. Epidermal Gnas ablation leads to skin defects, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Results provide insight into role of Galpha s in the regulation of stem cells from the skin. Changes in gene expression following Gnas deletion from the mouse epidermis were analyzed. Skin from four independent mice of each wild type (control) and Gnas epidermal knockout (Gnas eKO) were analyzed.

Expression data from WT and Eed KO neonatal mouse LT-HSC

Project description:Recent studies point to a pivotal role of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) in stem cell function and cancer. Loss of function approaches targeting individual PRC2 subunits have however generated findings that are difficult to reconcile. Here, we prevent assembly of both Ezh1- and Ezh2-containing PRC2 complexes by conditional deletion of Eed, a core subunit, and assess glodbal gene expression changs in LT-HSCs.

RNAseq profiling of neonatal mouse Merkel cells and basal keratinocytes

Project description:Merkel cells (MCs), specialized neuroendocrine touch sensors within the epidermis, play a crucial role in tactile sensation.

The Central Role of EED in the Orchestration of Polycomb Group Complexes

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2) play a critical role in the epigenetic regulation of transcription during cellular differentiation, stem cell pluripotency, and neoplastic progression1-3. Here we show that the Polycomb group protein EED, a core component of PRC2, physically interacts with and functions as part of the PRC1 complex. Components of PRC1 and PRC2 compete for EED binding. EED functions to recruit PRC1 to H3K27me3 loci and enhances PRC1 mediated H2A ubiquitin E3 ligase activity. Taken together, we uncover the integral role of EED as an epigenetic exchange factor coordinating the activities of PRC1 and 2.

Repression of the soma-specific transcriptome by Polycomb-repressive complex 2 promotes male germ cell development

Project description:Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 Lys27 (H3K27) and functions as a critical epigenetic regulator of both stem cell pluripotency and somatic differentiation, but its role in male germ cell development is unknown. Using conditional mutagenesis to remove the core PRC2 subunits EED and SUZ12 during male germ cell development, we identified a requirement for PRC2 in both mitotic and meiotic germ cells. We observed a paucity of mutant spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs), which appears independent of repression of the known cell cycle inhibitors Ink4a/Ink4b/Arf. Moreover, mutant spermatocytes exhibited ectopic expression of somatic lamins and an abnormal distribution of SUN1 proteins on the nuclear envelope. These defects were coincident with abnormal chromosome dynamics, affecting homologous chromosome pairing and synapsis. We observed acquisition of H3K27me3 on stage-specific genes during meiotic progression, indicating a requirement for PRC2 in regulating the meiotic transcriptional program. Together, these data demonstrate that transcriptional repression of soma-specific genes by PRC2 facilitates homeostasis and differentiation during mammalian spermatogenesis. Examination of two different types of histone modifications (H3K27me3 and H3K4me3) in spermatocytes at two different stages of development (P12 and P17) and the DNA binding protein, EED, in spermatocytes at one stage of development, P17. At P12, there was a single replicate of H3K27me3, H3K4me3 and input. At P17, there were two replicates of H3K27me3, H3K4me3 and input and a single replicate for EED.

Polycomb protein EED is required for selective silencing of pluripotency genes upon ESC differentiation

Project description:Eed (embryonic ectoderm development) is a core component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) which catalyzes the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27). Trimethylated H3K27 (H3K27me3) can act as a signal for PRC1 recruitment in the process of gene silencing and chromatin condensation. Previous studies with Eed KO ESCs revealed a failure to down-regulate a limited list of pluripotency factors in differentiating ESCs. Our aim was to analyze the consequences of Eed KO for ESC differentiation. To this end we first analyzed ESC differentiation in the absence of Eed and employed in silico data to assess pluripotency gene expression and H3K27me3 patterns. We linked these data to expression analyses of wildtype and Eed KO ESCs. We observed that in wildtype ESCs a subset of pluripotency genes including Oct4, Nanog, Sox2 and Oct4 target genes progressively gain H3K27me3 during differentiation. These genes remain expressed in differentiating Eed KO ESCs. This suggests that the deregulation of a limited set of pluripotency factors impedes ESC differentiation. Global analyses of H3K27me3 and Oct4 ChIP-seq data indicate that in ESCs the binding of Oct4 to promoter regions is not a general predictor for PRC2-mediated silencing during differentiation. However, motif analyses suggest a binding of Oct4 together with Sox2 and Nanog at promoters of genes that are PRC2-dependently silenced during differentiation. In summary, our data further characterize Eed function in ESCs by showing that Eed/PRC2 is essential for the onset of ESC differentiation. RNAs obtained from undifferentiated (d0) wild type and Eed KO ESCs and from day 3 (d3) and day 7 (d7) respective Ebs were subjected to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Array. 24 samples in total.

Two distinct functional axes of positive feedback-enforced PRC2 recruitment in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an essential role in development by catalysing trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), resulting in gene repression. PRC2 consists of two sub-complexes, PRC2.1 and PRC2.2, in which the PRC2 core associates with distinct ancillary subunits such as MTF2 and JARID2, respectively. Both MTF2, present in PRC2.1, and JARID2, present in PRC2.2, play a role in core PRC2 recruitment to target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, it remains unclear how these distinct sub-complexes cooperate to establish H3K27me3 domains. Here, we combine a range of Polycomb mutant mESCs with chemical inhibition of PRC2 catalytic activity, to systematically dissect their relative contributions to PRC2 binding to target loci. We find that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 mediate two distinct paths for recruitment, with mutually reinforced binding. Part of the cross-talk between PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 occurs via their catalytic product H3K27me3, which is bound by the PRC2 core-subunit EED, thereby mediating a positive feedback. Strikingly, removal of either JARID2 or H3K27me3 only has a minor effect on PRC2 recruitment, whereas their combined ablation largely attenuates PRC2 recruitment. This strongly suggests an unexpected redundancy between JARID2 and EED-H3K27me3-mediated recruitment of PRC2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that all core PRC2 recruitment occurs through the combined action of MTF2-mediated recruitment of PRC2.1 to DNA and PRC1-mediated recruitment of JARID2-containing PRC2.2. Both axes of binding are supported by EED-H3K27me3 positive feedback, but to a different degree. Finally, we provide evidence that PRC1 and PRC2 mutually reinforce reciprocal binding. Together, these data disentangle the interdependent and cooperative interactions between Polycomb complexes that are important to establish Polycomb repression at target sites.
