Bone density loci identified by genome-wide association studies segregate a lineage-specific PU.1-dependent gene regulatory network in osteoclasts [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been instrumental in understanding complex phenotypic traits. However, they have rarely been used to understand lineage-specific pathways and functions that contribute to the trait. In this study, by integrating publicly available lineage-specific enhancers from mesenchymal and myeloid compartments with bone mineral density loci, we were able to segregate osteoblast- and osteoclast (OC)-specific functions. Specifically, in OCs, a PU.1-dependent transcription factor (TF) network was revealed. Further we conducted functional genomic analysis PU.1 and MITF genome wide binding with corresponding gene expression analysis which revealed a TF network essential for OC differentiation. Several of these TFs were regulated by cooperative binding of PU.1 with BRD4 to form superenhancers. Further, PU.1 is essential for conformational changes in the superenhancer region of Nfatc1. In summary, our study demonstrates that utilizing GWASs with genome-wide binding studies as a filter helps to decipher lineage-specific pathways contributing to complex disease states.

Monocyte Subsets with High Osteoclastogenic Potential and Their Epigenetic Regulation Orchestrated by IRF8 [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Currently, it is unclear if all monocyte subsets exhibit osteoclastogenic potential. Furthermore, the role of lineage determining TFs in regulating OC differentiation on a genome-wide scale remains poorly understood. In this study, we utilized a novel Irf8 conditional knockout (Irf8 cKO) mouse model to characterize the importance of IRF8 in OC progenitor development and epigenetic regulation of OC differentiation. We performed RNA-seq on Irf8 gWT, gKO, cWT and cKO BMMs, preosteoclasts (PreOCs), and OCs. Cells were analyzed prior to (BMMs) and 3 days (PreOCs) and 6 days (OCs) after RANKL stimulation. Here we show that greater a number of genes are significantly upregulated in Irf8 cKO OCs when compared to WT and Irf8 gKO OCs. Altogether, our data shows that Irf8 cKO mice provide more precise/reliable OC-specific transcriptomic results when compared to Irf8 gKO mice.

The hematopoietic master transcription factor PU.1 requires its interaction with the SWI/SNF remodeler to access chromatin de novo

Project description:PU.1 is a prototype master transcription factor (TF) of hematopoietic cell differentiation with diverse roles in different lineages. Analysis of its genome-wide binding pattern across PU.1 expressing cell types revealed manifold cell type-specific binding patterns. They are not consistent with the epigenetic and chromatin constraints to PU.1 binding observed in vitro, suggesting that PU.1 requires auxiliary factors to access DNA in vivo. Using a model of transient mRNA expression we show that PU.1 induction leads to the extensive remodeling of chromatin, redistribution of partner transcription factors and rapid initiation of a myeloid gene expression program in heterologous cell types. By probing PU.1 mutants for defects in chromatin access and screening for PU.1 proximal proteins in vivo, we found that its N-terminal acidic domain was required for the recruitment of SWI/SNF remodeling complexes, de novo chromatin access and stable binding as well as the redistribution of partner TFs.

Monocyte Subsets with High Osteoclastogenic Potential and Their Epigenetic Regulation Orchestrated by IRF8 [RNA-Seq sorted cells]

Project description:Currently, it is unclear if all monocyte subsets exhibit osteoclastogenic potential. Furthermore, the role of lineage determining TFs in regulating OC differentiation on a genome-wide scale remains poorly understood. In this study, we utilized a novel Irf8 conditional knockout (Irf8 cKO) mouse model to characterize the importance of IRF8 in OC progenitor development and epigenetic regulation of OC differentiation. To identify global transcriptional program governing the osteoclastogenic potential of Ly6Chi, Ly6Cint, and Ly6C– monocytes, and how it may be further influenced by IRF8 deficiency, we performed RNA-seq on sorted Ly6Chi, Ly6Cint, and Ly6C– cells from WT and Irf8 cKO mice. Cells were analyzed prior to (BMMs) and 4 days after RANKL stimulation (OCs). Here we show that WT Ly6Chi and Ly6Cint monocytes developmentally contain OC-specific transcripts, which are augmented upon RANKL stimulation. Additionally, in the absence of IRF8, OC-specific transcripts in all three monocyte subsets are primed to robustly respond to RANKL stimulation.

The cell-based control and underlying mechanism for inflammatory bone loss

Project description:Inflammatory bone loss (IBL) is primarily caused by elevated osteoclast (OC) activity during chronic inflammation. However, the specific OC precursors (OCPs) responding to the inflammatory signals and the underlying mechanisms leading to IBL are poorly understood. We identified two OCP subsets: Ly6ChiCD11bhi inflammatory OCPs (iOCPs) specifically responsible for IBL, and homeostatic Ly6ChiCD11blo (hOCPs), not involved in IBL. Functional and proteomic characterization revealed that while the iOCPs are rare and display low osteoclastogenecity under normal conditions, they expand during chronic inflammation and generate OCs with enhanced activity. In contrast, the hOCPs are abundant and highly osteoclastogenic under normal conditions but are unresponsive to the inflammatory environment and generate OCs with low activity. We identified TNF-α and the S100A8/A9 proteins as key regulators, specifically controlling the iOCP response during chronic inflammation. Our findings offer iOCPs as new therapeutic targets and potential biomarkers to combat IBL in a wide range of inflammatory conditions.

Gene expression analysis in the zebrafish fractured scale

Project description:Bone is a connective tissue which undergoes continuous remodeling, including bone resorption and formation by osteoclasts (OCs) and osteoblasts (OBs), respectively. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly appreciated as a regulator of intercellular communication between OCs and OBs. The zebrafish scale is a thin membranous bone embedded in the skin and consists of OBs, OCs, and bone matrix, providing an elegant model to visualize OC-OB communication. Here, we developed a double-transgenic zebrafish line, trap:GFP; osterix:mCherry, which expresses GFP and mCherry under the control of the OC-specific trap (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) and OB-specific osterix enhancer, respectively. Utilizing this double-transgenic line, in combination with Hoechst 33342 (Hoe) staining, we isolated four distinct fractions from the scale at 1 day post-fracture by flow cytometry, GFP(–) mCh(+) Hoe(high) (OB fraction), GFP(low) mCh(+) Hoe(high) (OC precursor (pOC) fraction), GFP(high) Hoe(high) (mature OC (mOC) fraction), and mCh(+) Hoe(–) (OB-derived extracellular vesicle (EV) fraction). In this study, we have performed RNA-seq analysis using these four fractions to examine the gene expression profile of each fraction.

The target gene investigation in osteoclats (OCs) treated with mmu-miR-5112 enriched in EVs from OCs with prostate cancer (PCa) cells [target_EV-miR-5112]

Project description:Bone metastatic lesions of PCa contain areas of bone destruction and formation that are directed by OCs and osteoblasts (OBs), respectively. OC-derived EVs are reported to maintain normal bone homeostasis; however, there is no study investigating the role of EVs from OCs in the presence of PCa. We identified mmu-miR-5112 enriched in EVs from OCs co-cultured with several PCa cell lines. NGS analyses were performed to investigate predicted target genes of EV-mmu-miR-5112 in OCs.

Transcriptional profiles of genes in the early stage of osteoclastogenesis

Project description:Osteoclast (OC) differentiation undergoes a two-step process: commitment of hematopoietic progenitor cells to tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) positive OC precursors (OCPs), and fusion of OCPs into multinucleated OCs. In order to identify transcriptional profiles of genes in the transitional phase between OC commitment and fusion in OCG, Affymetrix® Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays were performed on total RNA extracted from mouse (SV129/BL6 ) monocytes and pre-osteoclasts (pre-OCs), primed with macrophage colony-stimulated factor (M-CSF) or M-CSF and soluble recombinant receptor activator of NF-кB ligand (sRANKL), respectively. The analysis identified 656 RANKL-up or down-regulated in the early stage of osteoclastogenesis.

Transcription factor reorganization at chromatin secures myeloid progenitor cell survival in PU.1 downregulated leukemia [RNAseq_Cell lines]

Project description:Transcription factors (TFs) orchestrating lineage-development also control genes required for cellular survival. One such TF is PU.1, which is essential for myeloid development. Mice with downregulated PU.1 levels develop fatal acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, because PU.1 is required for expression of growth factor receptors and signaling molecules, it has been unclear how PU.1-downregulated progenitors survive long enough to acquire additional alterations promoting leukemic transformation. Combining a multi-omics approach with a functional genetic screen, we reveal herein that growth of PU.1-downregulated progenitors is secured by shifting survival control from cytokine-dependency towards overactivation of an autophagy-predominated stem cell program. This shift (for which we also find evidence in human AML) is linked to redirected binding of the PU.1 partner TF RUNX1 to chromatin sites previously not co-bound by PU.1. Hence, partner TF reallocation at chromatin can induce autophagy as a cell-autonomous failsafe mechanism to rescue cells from survival deficits caused by TF loss. Such growth-compensatory effects should be taken into account when considering TF as targets in cancer therapy.
