MBD2 Ablation Impairs Lymphopoiesis and Impedes Progression and Maintenance of T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the roles of methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), a “reader” of DNA methylation, in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Here, we investigated the role of MBD2 in T-ALL by using an Mbd2 knockout mouse model. We found that MBD2 ablation impeded the progression and maintenance of Notch1-driven T-ALL.Our data reveals essential roles for MBD2 in lymphopoiesis and T-ALL and support an intriguing potential of MBD2 as a therapeutic target for T-ALL. To explore potential mechanisms underlying the anti-ALL effects of MBD2 ablation, leukemic cells were harvested from mice transplanted with WT or Mbd2-/- T-ALL cells, and their global gene expression profiles (GEP) were compared. Double positive (DP) thymocytes were isolated and used as a normal control.

Genome wide profiling of MBD2 binding

Genome wide profiling of MBD2 binding

Project description:We show that in vivo MBD2 is mainly recruited to CpG island promoters that are highly methylated. We also report that MBD2 binds to a subset of CpG island promoters that are characterized by the presence of active histone marks and RNA polymerase II (Pol2). At such sites, MBD2 binds downstream of the transcription start site. Active promoters bound by MBD2 show low to medium gene expression levels and H3K36me3 deposition suggesting a putative role for MBD2 in blocking polymerase II (Pol2) elongation at these promoters. To gain further insight into the function of and epigenetic regulation by MBD2 we generated a tagged version of the protein and stably expressed it in the MCF-7 cell line. We mapped genome wide binding of MBD2 by ChIP sequencing (ChIP-seq) and together with base resolution whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) we were able to determine the methylation content and the role of methylation density at MBD2 enriched regions. We further dissected MBD2 binding properties, taking advantage of a large set of ChIP-seq data including active histone marks, RNA polymerase II (POL2) and strand specific RNA-seq.

Expression data from HeLa cells after MBD2 and MBD3 knock down

Project description:The heterogeneous collection of NuRD complexes can be grouped into the MBD2 or MBD3 containing complexes MBD2-NuRD and MBD3-NuRD. MBD2 is known to bind to methylated CpG sequences in vitro in contrast to MBD3. Although functional differences have been described, a direct comparison of MBD2 and MBD3 in respect to genome-wide binding and function has been lacking. Here we show when depleting cells for MBD2, the MBD2 bound genes increase their activity, whereas MBD2 plus MBD3 bound genes reduce their activity. Most strikingly, MBD3 is enriched at active promoters, whereas MBD2 is bound at methylated promoters and enriched at exon sequences of active genes. This suggests a functional connection between MBD2 binding to chromatin and splicing.

Genome-wide identification of MBD2 and MBD3 binding sites by ChIP-seq

Project description:The heterogeneous collection of NuRD complexes can be grouped into the MBD2 or MBD3 containing complexes MBD2-NuRD and MBD3-NuRD. Although functional differences have been described, a direct comparison of MBD2 and MBD3 in respect to genome-wide binding and function has been lacking. Here we show a strong enrichment for MBD2 at methylated CpG sequences, whereas CpGs bound by MBD3 are devoid of methylation. Gene activity of MBD2 bound genes is four fold lower as compared to genes bound by MBD3. When depleting cells for MBD2, the MBD2 bound genes increase their activity, whereas MBD2 plus MBD3 bound genes reduce their activity. Most strikingly, MBD3 is enriched at active promoters, whereas MBD2 is bound at methylated promoters and enriched at exon sequences of active genes. This suggests a functional connection between MBD2 binding to chromatin and splicing.

Mbd2 promotes Foxp3 demethylation and T-regulatory cell function

Project description:The proposed use of Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells as potential cellular therapy in patients with autoimmune diseases, or post-hemopoietic stem cell or organ transplantation, requires a sound understanding of the transcriptional regulation of Foxp3 expression. Conserved CpG dinucleotides in the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) upstream of Foxp3 are demethylated only in stable, thymic-derived Foxp3+ Tregs. Since methyl-binding domain (Mbd) proteins recruit histone-modifying and chromatin-remodeling complexes to methylated sites, we tested whether targeting of Mbd2 might promote demethylation of Foxp3 and thereby promote Treg numbers or function. Surprisingly, while ChIP analysis showed Mbd2 binding to the Foxp3-associated TSDR site in Tregs, Mbd2 targeting by homologous recombination or siRNA decreased Treg numbers and impaired Treg suppressive function in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we found complete TSDR demethylation in WT Tregs but >75% methylation in Mbd2-/- Tregs, whereas re-introduction of Mbd2 into Mbd2-null Tregs restored TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 gene expression and Treg suppressive function. Lastly, Mbd2-/- Tregs had markedly binding of the DNA demethylase enzyme, Tet2, in the TSDR region. These data show that Mbd2 has a key role in promoting TSDR demethylation, Foxp3 expression and Treg suppressive function.

Gene expression profiles MCF-10A cells overexpressing MBD2

Project description:Methylated DNA binding protein 2 (MBD2) has been shown to bind specific methylated promoters and suppress transcription. Here we systematically investigate MBD2 suppression by overexpressing MBD2 in MCF-10A cells and generating gene expression profiles of overexpressing cells and normal MCF-10A cells. MCF-10A cells were infected with MBD2 lentivirus in order to increase MBD2 expression. Total RNA was extracted from both infected and non-infected cells and hybridized to Affymetrix gene expression microarrays. Three technical replicates were hybridized for infected and non-infected cells.

MBD2 couples DNA methylation to Transposable Elements silencing during male gametogenesis

Project description:DNA methylation is an essential component of transposable element (TE) silencing, yet the mechanism by which methylation causes transcriptional repression remains poorly understood. Here we study the Arabidopsis thaliana Methyl-CpG Binding Domain (MBD) proteins MBD1, MBD2, and MBD4, and show that MBD2 acts as a transposable element (TE) repressor during male gametogenesis. MBD2 bound chromatin regions containing high levels of CG methylation, and MBD2 was capable of silencing the FWA gene when tethered to its promoter. MBD2 loss caused TE activation in the vegetative cell (VC) of mature pollen without affecting DNA methylation levels, demonstrating that MBD2-mediated silencing acts strictly downstream of DNA methylation. Loss of silencing in mbd2 became more significant in the mbd5 mbd6 or adcp1 mutant backgrounds, as well as in plants with chemically induced genome-wide DNA demethylation, suggesting that MBD2 acts redundantly with other silencing pathways to safeguard TEs from activation. Overall, our study identifies MBD2 as a novel methyl reader that acts downstream of DNA methylation to silence TEs during male gametogenesis.
