HP1 are dispensable for liver development and functions but are essential to prevent liver tumorigenesis

ABSTRACT: Chromatin organization is known to play essential roles in cell identity and functions. Here, by hepatocyte-specific inactivation of all the genes encoding for HP1 proteins (HP1α, β and γ) within mice livers (HP1-TKO mice), we demonstrate that these proteins are dispensable for hepatocyte development, survival and functions and for liver development but are critical to prevent liver tumorigenesis. We further showed that the lack of HP1 leads to the loss of heterochromatin hallmarks and to the deregulation of many genes with liver-specific functions. Furthermore, HP1-TKO transcriptome is also characterized by a strong enrichment in genes encoding for members of the KRAB-ZFP family of transcriptional repressors and as a consequence by reactivation of several families of Endogenous Retrovirus (ERV) with some of them behaving either as enhancers or alternative promoters leading to deregulated expression of several genes in their vicinity.

The chromatin associated proteins HP1 behave as liver specific tumour suppressors in mice

Project description:Purpose : In this study we observed that inactivation of the genes encoding for the chromatin associated proteins HP1 lead to a highly increased predisposition of mice to develop tumours within liver. The purpose of this analysis was to identify and characterize genes whose expression was altered early on within livers of the HP1 mutant mice that could explain the tumorigenesis phenotype observed in very old animals. Results : this analysis revealed that only few genes (129 for HP1αKO, 84 for HP1αβliverKO and 87 for HP1αγliverKO) displayed differential expression between control and mutant animals [with a threshold of 1.5 fold difference and an adjusted pvalue≤0.05]. Besides several genes putatively involved in tumorigenesis, we found a significant enrichment in genes encoding several members of the family of transcriptional repressors KRAB-ZFP and presented data arguing that this increased expression resulted from their own loss of repressive activity because of the loss of interaction between their corepressor TRIM28 and HP1. Conclusions: our study represents the first demonstration that HP1 behave as tumour suppressors within liver and provide a comprehensive analysis of the underlying molecular mechanisms suggesting that HP1 main function within liver is to allow an appropriately regulated activity of the KRAB-ZFP/TRIM28/HP1 axis essential for liver homeostasis.

The Nucleosome Map of the Mammalian Liver

Project description:We report the genome-wide map of nucleosome positions in the mouse liver, with emphasis on transcriptional start sites, CpG islands, Foxa2 binding sites, and their correlation with gene expression. Despite the heterogeneity of liver tissue, we could clearly discern the nucleosome pattern of the predominant liver cell, the hepatocyte. By analyzing nucleosome occupancy and the distributions of heterochromatin protein 1 (Hp1), CBP, and p300 in Foxa1/2-deficient livers we find, surprisingly, that the maintenance of nucleosome position and chromatin structure surrounding Foxa2 binding sites is independent of Foxa1/2. Examination of nucleosome map and Foxa2 binding in the mouse liver.

The Hepatocyte Proteome in Organotypic Rat Liver Models and the Influence of the Local Microenvironment

Project description:Liver models that closely mimic the in vivo microenvironment are central for understanding liver functions, capabilities, and intercellular communication processes. Whereas hepatocyte monolayers de-differentiate after only a few days in culture, constructs consisting of hepatocytes and non-parenchymal cells (NPC) separated by a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) provide maintenance of hepatic phenotypes. To better understand the mechanisms and processes that underlie organotypic liver model function, hepatocyte protein abundances in the presence and absence of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) were compared to hepatocyte monolayers. The presence of the PEM led to increases in proteins associated with hepatocyte lipid metabolism, with mitochondrial-based β-oxidation and peroxisomal proteins found in higher abundance. It was also demonstrated that the presence of LSECs modulates levels of carboxylesterases and other phase I and phase II enzymes. These results are discussed in relation to intercellular signaling and hepatocyte function.

Affymetrix profile of human liver progenitor cells

Project description:Human liver progenitor cells (LPCs) show therapeutic potential, however, their in vitro culture results in inadequate function and phenotypic instability reflecting incomplete understanding of in vivo processes. Foetal LPCs capable of differentiation to a hepatocyte phenotype were isolated and mRNA expression profiling carried out using Affymetrix HGU133plus2 microarrays. This was compared to profiles from mature human hepatocytes and human embryonic stem cells undergoing hepatocytic differentiation. Foetal LPCs exhibit a distinct molecular profile consistent with a stem cell signature, cell division, and some liver-specific functions. 9 independent samples of second trimester liver progenitor cells were profiled along with 3 independent mature hepatocyte samples and 3 each of embryonic stem cells at day 9 and day 17 of differentiation to hepatocyte like cells.

The Nucleosome Map of the Mammalian Liver

Project description:Mammalian genomes contain billions of basepairs of DNA that must be highly compacted as chromatin to fit into the nano-scale of the nucleus, but yet be accessible to allow for transcription to occur. Binding to nucleosomal DNA is critical for ÔpioneerÕ transcription factors such as Foxa1 and Foxa2 to regulate chromatin structure and gene activation. Here we report the genome-wide map of nucleosome positions in the mouse liver, with emphasis on transcriptional start sites, CpG islands, Foxa2 binding sites, and their correlation with gene expression. Despite the heterogeneity of liver tissue, we could clearly discern the nucleosome pattern of the predominant liver cell, the hepatocyte. By analyzing nucleosome occupancy and the distributions of heterochromatin protein 1 (Hp1), CBP, and p300 in Foxa1/2-deficient livers we find, surprisingly, that the maintenance of nucleosome position and chromatin structure surrounding Foxa2 binding sites is independent of Foxa1/2.

Interrogation of the Dynamic Properties of Higher-Order Heterochromatin Using CRISPR/dCas9

Project description:Eukaryotic chromosomes feature large regions of compact, transcriptionally-repressed heterochromatin hallmarked by the presence of Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) family members. HP1 proteins play multi-faceted roles in directly shaping the properties of heterochromatin, and in vivo , HP1 tethering to individual gene promoters leads to epigenetic modifications and gene silencing. However, emergent properties of HP1 at supranucleosomal scales have been difficult to study in cells due to a lack of appropriate tools. Here, we develop CRISPR-Engineered Chromatin Organization (EChO), a novel approach for combining live cell CRISPR-based imaging with inducible and reversible large-scale recruitment of heterochromatin components to native chromatin in human cells. Using CRISPR-EChO, we demonstrate that human HP1α binding across tens of kilobases of genomic DNA leads to formation of novel contacts with other heterochromatin regions and reversibly compacts chromatin from a diffuse to condensed state. The condensed chromatin state exhibits delayed disassembly kinetics and represses transcription across over 600 kilobases. Collectively, these findings support a polymer model of HP1α-mediated chromatin regulation and highlight the utility of CRISPR-EChO in studying and manipulating supranucleosomal chromatin organization in living cells.

Generation and characterization of mature hepatocyte organoids for liver metabolic studies

Project description:The liver plays a central role in whole body metabolic regulation. Studies of liver metabolism are mostly done in vivo in animal models due to the lack of reliable in vitro systems that can recapitulate liver metabolic functions and their regulation. Hepatocyte organoids (HOs) generated in vitro recently are powerful tools for liver regeneration. Here we developed a novel culture condition that enabled successful generation of mature hepatocyte organoids (MHOs) with metabolic functions characteristic of adult livers. We showed that the MHOs can be used to study gene expression that exhibit zonal patterns in vivo, hepatic proliferation during tumorigenesis and metabolic alterations in disorders of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.
