Stage-specific functional roles of integrins in murine erythropoiesis.

ABSTRACT: When the erythroid integrins ?5?1 and ?4?1 were each deleted previously at the stem cell level, they yielded distinct physiologic responses to stress by affecting erythoid expansion and terminal differentiation or only the latter, respectively. To test at what stage of differentiation the integrin effects were exerted, we created mice with ?4- or ?5-integrin deletions only in erythroid cells and characterized them at homeostasis and after phenylhydrazine-induced hemolytic stress. Unlike our prior data, the phenotype of mice with ?5-erythroid deletions was similar to controls, especially after stress. These outcomes seem to reconcile divergent prior views on the role of ?5-integrin in erythropoiesis. By contrast, ?4 integrins whether deleted early or late have a dominant effect on bone marrow retention of erythroblasts and on terminal erythroid maturation at homeostasis and after stress.

Combinatorial and distinct roles of ?? and ?? integrins in stress erythropoiesis in mice.

Project description:To delineate the role of specific members of ?? integrins in stress erythropoiesis in the adult, we compared the response to phenylhydrazine stress in 3 genetically deficient models. The survival of ??-conditionally deficient mice after phenylhydrazine is severely compromised because of their inability to mount a successful life saving splenic erythroid response, a phenotype reproduced in ??(?/?) reconstituted animals. The response of bone marrow to phenylhydrazine-induced stress was, unlike that of spleen, appropriate in terms of progenitor cell expansion and mobilization to peripheral blood although late differentiation defects qualitatively similar to those in spleen were present in bone marrow. In contrast to ??-deficient mice, ??(?/?) mice showed only a kinetic delay in recovery and similar to ??(?/?), terminal maturation defects in both bone marrow and spleen, which were not present in VCAM-1(?/?) mice. Convergence of information from these comparative studies lends new insight to the distinct in vivo roles of ?? and ?? integrins in erythroid stress, suggesting that the presence of mainly ???? integrin in all hematopoietic progenitor cells interacting with splenic microenvironmental ligands/cells is instrumental for their survival and accumulation during hemolytic stress, whereas presence of ?? or of both ?? and ??, is important for completion of terminal maturation steps.

Multidimensional profiling reveals GATA1-modulated stage-specific chromatin states and functional associations during human erythropoiesis.

Project description:Mammalian erythroid development can be divided into three stages: hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC), erythroid progenitor (Ery-Pro), and erythroid precursor (Ery-Pre). However, the mechanisms by which the 3D genome changes to establish the stage-specific transcription programs that are critical for erythropoiesis remain unclear. Here, we analyze the chromatin landscape at multiple levels in defined populations from primary human erythroid culture. While compartments and topologically associating domains remain largely unchanged, ∼50% of H3K27Ac-marked enhancers are dynamic in HSPC versus Ery-Pre. The enhancer anchors of enhancer-promoter loops are enriched for occupancy of respective stage-specific transcription factors (TFs), indicating these TFs orchestrate the enhancer connectome rewiring. The master TF of erythropoiesis, GATA1, is found to occupy most erythroid gene promoters at the Ery-Pro stage, and mediate conspicuous local rewiring through acquiring binding at the distal regions in Ery-Pre, promoting productive erythroid transcription output. Knocking out GATA1 binding sites precisely abrogates local rewiring and corresponding gene expression. Interestingly, knocking down GATA1 can transiently revert the cell state to an earlier stage and prolong the window of progenitor state. This study reveals mechanistic insights underlying chromatin rearrangements during development by integrating multidimensional chromatin landscape analyses to associate with transcription output and cellular states.

Integrins Have Cell-Type-Specific Roles in the Development of Motor Neuron Connectivity.

Project description:Formation of the nervous system requires a complex series of events including proper extension and guidance of neuronal axons and dendrites. Here we investigate the requirement for integrins, a class of transmembrane cell adhesion receptors, in regulating these processes across classes of C. elegans motor neurons. We show ? integrin/ina-1 is expressed by both GABAergic and cholinergic motor neurons. Despite this, our analysis of hypomorphic ina-1(gm144) mutants indicates preferential involvement of ? integrin/ina-1 in GABAergic commissural development, without obvious involvement in cholinergic commissural development. The defects in GABAergic commissures of ina-1(gm144) mutants included both premature termination and guidance errors and were reversed by expression of wild type ina-1 under control of the native ina-1 promoter. Our results also show that ? integrin/ina-1 is important for proper outgrowth and guidance of commissures from both embryonic and post-embryonic born GABAergic motor neurons, indicating an ongoing requirement for integrin through two phases of GABAergic neuron development. Our findings provide insights into neuron-specific roles for integrin that would not be predicted based solely upon expression analysis.

A KRAB/KAP1-miRNA cascade regulates erythropoiesis through stage-specific control of mitophagy.

Project description:During hematopoiesis, lineage- and stage-specific transcription factors work in concert with chromatin modifiers to direct the differentiation of all blood cells. We explored the role of KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) and their cofactor KAP1 in this process. In mice, hematopoietic-restricted deletion of Kap1 resulted in severe hypoproliferative anemia. Kap1-deleted erythroblasts failed to induce mitophagy-associated genes and retained mitochondria. This was due to persistent expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) targeting mitophagy transcripts, itself secondary to a lack of repression by stage-specific KRAB-ZFPs. The KRAB/KAP1-miRNA regulatory cascade is evolutionarily conserved, as it also controls mitophagy during human erythropoiesis. Thus, a multilayered transcription regulatory system is present, in which protein- and RNA-based repressors are superimposed in combinatorial fashion to govern the timely triggering of an important differentiation event.

Stage-specific differential DNA methylation data analysis during human erythropoiesis in chromosome 16.

Project description:Previous studies have generated controversial findings regarding the correlation between DNA methylation in the human genome and gene expression. Some reports have indicated that promoter methylation is negatively correlated with gene expression levels; however, in some cases, a poor or positive correlation was reported. Most previous findings were based on general trends observed with whole-genome data analysis. Here, we present a novel chromosome-specific statistical analysis design of empirical Bayes differential tests for five phases of erythroid development. To better understand the common methylation patterns of differentially methylated regions (DMRs) during specific stages, we defined differential phases for each CpG locus, based on a maximum log2 fold change. Analyzing hypermethylated and hypomethylated CpG loci separately showed variations in methylation patterns during erythropoiesis in the gene body, promoter and enhancer regions. Hypomethylated DMRs showed stronger associations with erythroid-specific enhancers at the differentiation start phase and with exons in the intermediate phase. To investigate the hypomethylated DMRs further, transcription factor binding site-enrichment analysis was conducted. This analysis highlighted novel transcription factors during each differentiation stage that were not detected by previous differential methylation data analysis. In contrast, hypermethylated DMRs showed a consistent methylation pattern over the different genomic regions. Thus, a closer examination of DNA methylation patterns in a single chromosome during each developmental stage can contribute to verify the association nature between gene expression and DNA methylation.

Combinatorial assembly of developmental stage-specific enhancers controls gene expression programs during human erythropoiesis.

Project description:Gene-distal enhancers are critical for tissue-specific gene expression, but their genomic determinants within a specific lineage at different stages of development are unknown. Here we profile chromatin state maps, transcription factor occupancy, and gene expression profiles during human erythroid development at fetal and adult stages. Comparative analyses of human erythropoiesis identify developmental stage-specific enhancers as primary determinants of stage-specific gene expression programs. We find that erythroid master regulators GATA1 and TAL1 act cooperatively within active enhancers but confer little predictive value for stage specificity. Instead, a set of stage-specific coregulators collaborates with master regulators and contributes to differential gene expression. We further identify and validate IRF2, IRF6, and MYB as effectors of an adult-stage expression program. Thus, the combinatorial assembly of lineage-specific master regulators and transcriptional coregulators within developmental stage-specific enhancers determines gene expression programs and temporal regulation of transcriptional networks in a mammalian genome.

Roles of Integrins in Gastrointestinal Cancer Metastasis.

Project description:Integrins are a large family of heterodimeric transmembrane receptors which mediate cell adhesion and transmit signals to the cell interior. The mechanistic roles of integrins have long been an enigma in cancer, given its complexity in regulating different cellular behaviors. Recently, however, increasing research is providing new insights into its function and the underlying mechanisms, which collectively include the influences of altered integrin expression on the aberrant signaling pathways and cancer progression. Many studies have also demonstrated the potentiality of integrins as therapeutic targets in cancer treatment. In this review, we have summarized these recent reports and put a particular emphasis on the dysregulated expression of integrins and how they regulate related signaling pathways to facilitate the metastatic progression of gastrointestinal cancer, including gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC), which will address the crucial roles of integrins in gastrointestinal cancer.

αV-class integrins exert dual roles on α5β1 integrins to strengthen adhesion to fibronectin.

Project description:Upon binding to the extracellular matrix protein, fibronectin, αV-class and α5β1 integrins trigger the recruitment of large protein assemblies and strengthen cell adhesion. Both integrin classes have been functionally specified, however their specific roles in immediate phases of cell attachment remain uncharacterized. Here, we quantify the adhesion of αV-class and/or α5β1 integrins expressing fibroblasts initiating attachment to fibronectin (≤120 s) by single-cell force spectroscopy. Our data reveals that αV-class integrins outcompete α5β1 integrins. Once engaged, αV-class integrins signal to α5β1 integrins to establish additional adhesion sites to fibronectin, away from those formed by αV-class integrins. This crosstalk, which strengthens cell adhesion, induces α5β1 integrin clustering by RhoA/ROCK/myosin-II and Arp2/3-mediated signalling, whereas overall cell adhesion depends on formins. The dual role of both fibronectin-binding integrin classes commencing with an initial competition followed by a cooperative crosstalk appears to be a basic cellular mechanism in assembling focal adhesions to the extracellular matrix.

Corepressor Rcor1 is essential for murine erythropoiesis.

Project description:The corepressor Rcor1 has been linked biochemically to hematopoiesis, but its function in vivo remains unknown. We show that mice deleted for Rcor1 are profoundly anemic and die in late gestation. Definitive erythroid cells from mutant mice arrest at the transition from proerythroblast to basophilic erythroblast. Remarkably, Rcor1 null erythroid progenitors cultured in vitro form myeloid colonies instead of erythroid colonies. The mutant proerythroblasts also aberrantly express genes of the myeloid lineage as well as genes typical of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and/or progenitor cells. The colony-stimulating factor 2 receptor ? subunit (Csf2rb), which codes for a receptor implicated in myeloid cytokine signaling, is a direct target for both Rcor1 and the transcription repressor Gfi1b in erythroid cells. In the absence of Rcor1, the Csf2rb gene is highly induced, and Rcor1(-/-) progenitors exhibit CSF2-dependent phospho-Stat5 hypersensitivity. Blocking this pathway can partially reduce myeloid colony formation by Rcor1-deficient erythroid progenitors. Thus, Rcor1 promotes erythropoiesis by repressing HSC and/or progenitor genes, as well as the genes and signaling pathways that lead to myeloid cell fate.

Governing roles for Trib3 pseudokinase during stress erythropoiesis.

Project description:In response to anemia, the heightened production of erythropoietin (EPO) can sharply promote erythroid progenitor cell (EPC) formation. Specific mediators of such EPO- accelerated erythropoiesis, however, are not well understood. Presently, we first report that the expression of Trib3 in adult bone marrow EPCs in vivo is nominal at steady state, but strongly activated on EPO challenge. In a knockout mouse model, Trib3 disruption modestly increased steady-state erythrocyte numbers and decreased mean corpuscular volume. Following 5-fluorouracil myeloablation, however, rebound red blood cell production and hemoglobin levels were substantially (and selectively) compromised in Trib3-/- mice versus Trib3+/+ congenic controls. Erythrocytes from 5-fluorouracil-treated Trib3-/- mice additionally were more prone to lysis and exhibited elevated peroxide-induced reactive oxygen species. Ex vivo, the development of CD71posTer119pos erythroblasts from Trib3-/- bone marrow progenitors was attenuated, and this was associated with heightened EPO-dependent Erk1/2 activation and moderately increased Akt activation. For developmentally staged EPCs, gene profiling provided further initial insight into candidate mediators of EPO-induced Trib3 gene expression, including Cebp-beta, Atf4, Egr-1, and Nab1. Overall, Trib3 is indicated to act as a novel EPC-intrinsic governor of stress erythropoiesis.
