PLZF targets developmental enhancers for activation during osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (ChIP-seq)

ABSTRACT: The PLZF transcription factor is essential for osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, however, its regulation and molecular function during this process is not fully understood. Here we revealed that the ZBTB16 locus encoding PLZF, is repressed by Polycomb (PcG) and H3K27me3 in naïve hMSCs. At the pre-osteoblast stage of differentiation, the locus lost PcG binding and H3K27me3, gained JMJD3 recruitment, and H3K27ac resulting in high expression of PLZF. Subsequently, PLZF was recruited to osteogenic enhancers, influencing H3K27 acetylation and expression of nearby genes important for osteogenic function. Furthermore, we identified a latent enhancer within the ZBTB16/PLZF locus itself that became active, gained PLZF, p300 and Mediator binding and looped to the promoter of the nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT) gene. The increased expression of NNMT correlated with a decline in SAM levels, which is dependent on PLZF and is required for osteogenic differentiation.

Project description:Gene Expression analysis of a differentiation timeseries of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) in the presence of adipogenic/osteogenic factors. hMSCs differentiate into fat cells when treated with dexamethasone (10^-6 M), insulin (10 ug/ml), rosiglitazone (10^-7 M) and IBMX (250 uM). TGFbeta (5 ng/ml) inhibits this process and redirects these cells to differentiate into bone cells. Introduction: Patients suffering from osteoporosis show an increased number of adipocytes in their bone marrow, concomitant with a reduction in the pool of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) that are able to differentiate into osteoblasts, thus leading to suppressed osteogenesis. Methods: In order be able to interfere with this process, we have investigated in vitro culture conditions whereby adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs is impaired and osteogenic differentiation is promoted. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. Results: Our data show that BMP2 promotes both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, while TGFÎ² inhibits differentiation into both lineages. However, when cells are cultured under adipogenic differentiation conditions, which contains cAMP-enhancing agents such as IBMX of PGE2, TGFÎ² promotes osteogenic differentiation, while at the same time inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. Gene expression and immunoblot analysis indicated that cAMP-induced suppression of HDAC5 levels plays an important role in the inhibitory effect of TGFÎ² on osteogenic differentiation. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are downregulated by TGFÎ² under adipogenic differentiation conditions and may therefore be potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. We thus identified 9 genes for which FDA-approved drugs are available. Our results show that drugs directed against the nuclear hormone receptor PPARG, the metalloproteinase ADAMTS5 and the aldo-keto reductase AKR1B10 inhibit adipogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, although in contrast to TGFÎ² they do not appear to promote osteogenic differentiation. Conclusions: The approach chosen in this study has resulted in the identification of new targets for inhibition of fat cell differentiation, which may not only be relevant for prevention of osteoporosis, but also of obesity. hMSCs were induced to differentiate in the presence dexamethasone, insulin and rosiglitazone, to which was added either 50 ng/ml BMP2; BMP2 + TGFbeta; BMP2 + IBMX; BMP2 + TGFbeta + IBMX.
