Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are required for normal differentiation and development, and their activity is found deregulated in cancer. PcG proteins are involved in gene silencing, however, whether they initiate or maintain transcriptional repression is a subject of debate. Here, we show that knockout of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) does not lead to significant gene expression changes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), and that it is dispensable for initiating silencing of target genes during differentiation. Transcriptional inhibition in mESCs is sufficient to induce genome-wide ectopic PRC2 recruitment to endogenous PcG target genes found in other tissues. PRC2 binding analysis shows that it is restricted to nucleosome-free CpG islands (CGIs) of un-transcribed genes. Our results show that it is the transcriptional state that governs PRC2 binding, and we propose that it binds by default to non-transcribed CGI genes to maintain their silenced state and to protect cell identity.

Project description:Our work describes novel roles for EZH2 in the specification of cortical neurons. Previous reports established the current model of EZH2-mediated control of neuronal progenitors differentiation through the regulation of their proliferation and developmental transitions. We built on these findings and studied the role of EZH2 in post-mitotic glutamatergic neurons differentiated from embryonic stem cells, a particularly relevant cell type where the impact of its regulation has thus far remained elusive. Briefly, our key results can be summarized as follows: 1. The conditional deletion of EZH2 at the moment of cell cycle exit in neural progenitors allowed us to study the role of EZH2 selectively in post-mitotic glutamatergic neurons. 2. Time course transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses of H3K27me3 in absence of EZH2 revealed a significant dysregulation of transcriptional networks affecting synaptic plasticity, in particular long term depression. 3. These analyses also revealed potential novel roles of EZH2 in controlling the regulation between the glutamatergic signature and the GABAergic one, suggesting a mechanism entailing failure of Prdm13 repression, a histone methyltransferase with a known role in determining GABAergic neurons specification.

Project description:DNA methylation is tightly regulated throughout mammalian development and altered methylation patterns are a hallmark of cancer. The methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2 is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and has been suggested to protect CpG islands and promoters from aberrant methylation. By generating a novel mouse model of Tet2-deficient AML we show that loss of Tet2 in hematopoietic cells leads to progressive hypermethylation of active enhancer elements and altered expression of genes implicated in tumorigenesis. In contrast, CpG island and promoter methylation does not change in a Tet2-dependent manner. Furthermore, we confirm this specific enhancer hypermethylation phenotype in human AML patients. Thus, we propose that TET2 prevents leukemic transformation of hematopoietic cells by protecting enhancers from aberrant DNA methylation.

Project description:The discovery of TET proteins, enzymes that oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) in DNA, has revealed novel mechanisms for the regulation of DNA methylation. We have mapped 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) at different stages of T cell development in the thymus and T cell differentiation in the periphery. We show that 5hmC is enriched in the gene body of highly expressed genes at all developmental stages, and that its presence correlates positively with gene expression. Further emphasizing the connection with gene expression, we find that 5hmC is enriched in active thymus-specific enhancers, and that genes encoding key transcriptional regulators display high intragenic 5hmC levels in precursor cells at those developmental stages where they exert a positive effect. Our data constitute a valuable resource that will facilitate detailed analysis of the role of 5hmC in T cell development and differentiation. Examine the distribution of the H3K27Ac in DP T cells. The presence of H3K27Ac in enhancers enable us to distinguish poised(H3Kme1 enriched, but devoid of H3K27Ac) versus active enhancers (enriched for H3K4me1 and H3K27Ac).

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a block in myeloid differentiation the stage of which is dependent on the nature of the transforming oncogene and the developmental stage of the oncogenic hit. This is also true for the t(8;21) translocation which gives rise to the RUNX1/ETO fusion protein and initiates the most common form of human AML. To understand the molecular principles governing this differential action, we used the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells expressing an inducible RUNX1/ETO protein into blood cells as a traceable model combined with genome-wide analyses of transcription factor binding and gene expression. We found that RUNX1/ETO interferes with both the activating and repressive function of its normal counterpart, RUNX1, at early and late stages of blood cell development. However, the response of the transcriptional network to RUNX1/ETO expression is stage-specific, highlighting the molecular mechanisms determining specific target cell expansion after an oncogenic hit. High throughput sequencing data have been used to study RUNX1/ETO role in hematopoietic system

Project description:The Mre11-Rad50-Nbs1 (MRN) complex recognizes and processes DNA double-strand breaks for homologous recombination by performing short-range removal of 5ʹ strands. Endonucleolytic processing by MRN requires a stably bound protein at the break site—a role we postulate is played by DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) in mammals. Here we interrogate sites of MRN-dependent processing by identifying sites of CtIP association and by sequencing DNA- PK-bound DNA fragments that are products of MRN cleavage. These intermediates are generated most efficiently when DNA-PK is catalytically blocked, yielding products within 200 bp of the break site, whereas DNA-PK products in the absence of kinase inhibition show greater dispersal. Use of light-activated Cas9 to induce breaks facilitates temporal resolution of DNA- PK and Mre11 binding, showing that both complexes bind to DNA ends before release of DNA- PK-bound products. These results support a sequential model of double-strand break repair involving collaborative interactions between homologous and non-homologous repair complexes.

Project description:Missense mutations in the TP53 gene are frequent genetic alterations in human tumor tissue and cell lines. In contrast to wild-type p53, the mutant p53 (mutp53) protein has lost the transcriptional activity towards pro-apoptotic and growth arrest genes, but retained the property to interact with DNA in a structure-specific fashion. Expression of mutp53 is advantageous for tumor cells, however the molecular mechanism of mutp53 action is still not known. We used the glioblastoma-derived U-251 MG human cell line to analyze DNA binding of mutant p53 (R273H mutation) on a Nimblegen custom 135k tiling array and to correlate mutp53 binding regions with the epigenetic state and occupation by other transcription factors (ETS1 and SP1). We found that mutp53-binding regions are G/C-rich and are located around transcriptional start sites (TSS) of many protein-coding genes, which in most cases are active, but are not always regulated upon transient mutp53 depletion. We propose a model which does not only rely on interactions of mutp53 with diverse transcriptional regulators at active promoters, but primarily is based on a DNA binding activity of mutp53. We designed a Nimblegen custom 135k tiling array that covers a large set of putative and known p53 (wild-type and mutant) target genes in the human genome. For analysis of the epigenetic state of genes covered by the tiling array in control and mutant p53-depleted U251 cells we focused on changes in active histone marks, H3K4me3 and H3K9Ac, and RNA polymerase II recruitment and processivity. H3K4me3 and H3K9Ac marks are enriched in active promoter regions and the phosphorylation of serine 5 (S5-P) and serine 2 (S2-P) in the CTD of RNA polymerase II have been described to define initiated and elongating complexes, respectively. We performed the ChIP-chip experiments for H3K4me3, H3K9Ac, RNA polymerase II (S5-P) and RNA polymerase II (S2-P) from U251 cells transfected with p53-specific siRNA or control siRNA (2 biological replicates each). To analyze binding of mutant p53 to the genes covered by the tiling array we performed mutant p53 ChIP-chip experiments in 4 biological replicates of. In addition, we analyzed the distribution of SP1 and ETS1 binding sites in 3 biological replicates.
