Enhancer recruitment of transcription repressors RUNX1 and TLE3 by mis-expressed FOXC1 blocks differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT: Despite absent expression in normal hematopoiesis, the Forkhead factor FOXC1, a critical mesenchymal differentiation regulator, is highly expressed in ∼30% of HOXA^high acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases to confer blocked monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Through integrated proteomics and bioinformatics, we find that FOXC1 and RUNX1 interact through Forkhead and Runt domains, respectively, and co-occupy primed and active enhancers distributed close to differentiation genes. FOXC1 stabilizes association of RUNX1, HDAC1, and Groucho repressor TLE3 to limit enhancer activity: FOXC1 knockdown induces loss of repressor proteins, gain of CEBPA binding, enhancer acetylation, and upregulation of nearby genes, including KLF2. Furthermore, it triggers genome-wide redistribution of RUNX1, TLE3, and HDAC1 from enhancers to promoters, leading to repression of self-renewal genes, including MYC and MYB. Our studies highlight RUNX1 and CEBPA transcription factor swapping as a feature of leukemia cell differentiation and reveal that FOXC1 prevents this by stabilizing enhancer binding of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 transcription repressor complex to oncogenic effect.

Enhancer recruitment of transcription repressors RUNX1 and TLE3 by mis-expressed FOXC1 blocks differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia

Project description:Despite absent expression in normal hematopoiesis, the Forkhead factor FOXC1, a critical mesenchymal differentiation regulator, is highly expressed in ~30% of HOXAhigh AML to confer blocked monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Through integrated proteomics and bioinformatics, we discovered that FOXC1 and RUNX1 interact through Forkhead and Runt domains respectively and cooccupy primed and active enhancers distributed close to differentiation genes. FOXC1 stabilises association of RUNX1, HDAC1 and Groucho repressor TLE3 to limit enhancer activity: FOXC1 knockdown induced loss of repressor proteins, gain of CEBPA binding, enhancer acetylation and upregulation of nearby genes, including KLF2. Furthermore, it triggered genome-wide redistribution of RUNX1, TLE3 and HDAC1 from enhancers to promoters leading to repression of self-renewal genes including MYC and MYB. Our studies highlight RUNX1 and CEBPA transcription factor swapping as a feature of leukemia cell differentiation, and reveal that FOXC1 prevents this by stabilising enhancer binding of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 transcription repressor complex, to oncogenic effect.

Enhancer binding of RUNX1 and Groucho family repressor TLE3 is stabilized by FOXC1 to block differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:A differentiation block is the cardinal pathologic feature of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Despite absent expression in normal hematopoietic lineages, the Forkhead family transcription factor FOXC1, which is a critical regulator of normal mesenchymal and mesodermal differentiation, is highly expressed in ~20% of cases of AML where it confers a block to monocyte/macrophage lineage differentiation. Through integrated proteomics and bioinformatics approaches, we discovered that FOXC1 interacts with RUNX1 through its Forkhead DNA binding domain and that the two factors co-occupy a discrete set of primed or active enhancers distributed close to monocyte/macrophage differentiation genes. FOXC1 stabilises association of RUNX1, HDAC1 and the Groucho family repressor protein TLE3 at these sites. FOXC1 knockdown induced loss of these repressor proteins and gain of CEBPA binding, with localised increase in enhancer acetylation; nearby genes, including KLF2, were up regulated. A genome-wide redistribution of RUNX1 and TLE3 binding from enhancers to promoters was triggered by FOXC1 knockdown leading to repression of self-renewal genes including MYC and MYB. Thus, FOXC1 misexpression confers a differentiation block in AML by stabilising recruitment of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 repressor complex at primed or active enhancers close to genes which control monocyte/macrophage lineage differentiation.

Cdk6 blocks myeloid differentiation by interfering with Runx1 DNA binding and Runx1-C/EBPalpha interaction.

Project description:Interactions between the cell cycle machinery and transcription factors play a central role in coordinating terminal differentiation and proliferation arrest. We here show that cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (Cdk6) is specifically expressed in proliferating hematopoietic progenitor cells, and that Cdk6 inhibits transcriptional activation by Runx1, but not C/EBPalpha or PU.1. Cdk6 inhibits Runx1 activity by binding to the runt domain of Runx1, interfering with Runx1 DNA binding and Runx1-C/EBPalpha interaction. Cdk6 expression increased myeloid progenitor proliferation, and inhibited myeloid lineage-specific gene expression and terminal differentiation in vitro and in vivo. These effects of Cdk6 did not require Cdk6 kinase activity. Cdk6-mediated inhibition of granulocytic differentiation could be reversed by excess Runx1, consistent with Runx1 being the major target for Cdk6. We propose that Cdk6 downregulation in myeloid progenitors releases Runx1 from Cdk6 inhibition, thereby allowing terminal differentiation. Since Runx transcription factors play central roles in hematopoietic, neuronal and osteogenic lineages, this novel, noncanonical Cdk6 function may control terminal differentiation in multiple tissues and cell types.

PRMT4 blocks myeloid differentiation by assembling a methyl-RUNX1-dependent repressor complex.

Project description:Defining the role of epigenetic regulators in hematopoiesis has become critically important, because recurrent mutations or aberrant expression of these genes has been identified in both myeloid and lymphoid hematological malignancies. We found that PRMT4, a type I arginine methyltransferase whose function in normal and malignant hematopoiesis is unknown, is overexpressed in acute myelogenous leukemia patient samples. Overexpression of PRMT4 blocks the myeloid differentiation of human stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), whereas its knockdown is sufficient to induce myeloid differentiation of HSPCs. We demonstrated that PRMT4 represses the expression of miR-223 in HSPCs via the methylation of RUNX1, which triggers the assembly of a multiprotein repressor complex that includes DPF2. As part of the feedback loop, PRMT4 expression is repressed posttranscriptionally by miR-223. Depletion of PRMT4 results in differentiation of myeloid leukemia cells in vitro and their decreased proliferation in vivo. Thus, targeting PRMT4 holds potential as a novel therapy for acute myelogenous leukemia.

Distinct Roles of Broadly Expressed Repressors Support Dynamic Enhancer Action and Change in Time.

Project description:How broadly expressed repressors regulate gene expression is incompletely understood. To gain insight, we investigated how Suppressor of Hairless-Su(H)-and Runt regulate expression of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist short-gastrulation via the sog_Distal enhancer. A live imaging protocol was optimized to capture this enhancer's spatiotemporal output throughout the early Drosophila embryo, finding in this context that Runt regulates transcription initiation, Su(H) regulates transcription rate, and both factors control spatial expression. Furthermore, whereas Su(H) functions as a dedicated repressor, Runt temporally switches from repressor to activator. Our results demonstrate that broad repressors play temporally distinct roles and contribute to dynamic gene expression. Both Run and Su(H)'s ability to influence the spatiotemporal domains of gene expression may serve to counterbalance activators and function in this manner as important regulators of the maternal-to-zygotic transition in early embryos.

Foxc1 establishes enhancer accessibility for craniofacial cartilage differentiation.

Project description:The specification of cartilage requires Sox9, a transcription factor with broad roles for organogenesis outside the skeletal system. How Sox9 and other factors gain access to cartilage-specific cis-regulatory regions during skeletal development was unknown. By analyzing chromatin accessibility during the differentiation of neural crest cells into chondrocytes of the zebrafish head, we find that cartilage-associated chromatin accessibility is dynamically established. Cartilage-associated regions that become accessible after neural crest migration are co-enriched for Sox9 and Fox transcription factor binding motifs. In zebrafish lacking Foxc1 paralogs, we find a global decrease in chromatin accessibility in chondrocytes, consistent with a later loss of dorsal facial cartilages. Zebrafish transgenesis assays confirm that many of these Foxc1-dependent elements function as enhancers with region- and stage-specific activity in facial cartilages. These results show that Foxc1 promotes chondrogenesis in the face by establishing chromatin accessibility at a number of cartilage-associated gene enhancers.

The impact of canonical Wnt transcriptional repressors TLE3 and TLE4 on postsynaptic transcription at the neuromuscular junction.

Project description:Here, we investigated the role of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway transcriptional regulators at the neuromuscular junction. Upon applying a denervation paradigm, the transcription levels of Ctnnb1, Tcf7l1, Tle1, Tle2, Tle3, and Tle4 were significantly downregulated. A significant decrease in canonical Wnt signaling activity was observed using the denervation paradigm in Axin2-lacZ reporter mice. Alterations in the transcriptional profile of the myogenic lineage in response to agrin (AGRN) suggested that TLE3 and TLE4, family members of groucho transducin-like enhancer of split 3 (TLE3), transcriptional repressors known to antagonize T cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF)-mediated target gene activation, could be important regulators of canonical Wnt signaling activity at the postsynapse. Knockouts of these genes using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in primary skeletal muscle stem cells, called satellite cells, led to decreased AGRN-dependent acetylcholine receptor (CHRN) clustering and reduced synaptic gene transcription upon differentiation of these cells. Overall, our findings demonstrate that TLE3 and TLE4 participate in diminishing canonical Wnt signaling activity, supporting transcription of synaptic genes and CHRN clustering at the neuromuscular junction.
