ABSTRACT: We have developed a tet-inducible SV-40 large T antigen-expressing lentivirus-immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cell culture model of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) dysfunction involving complex II (succinate dehydrogenase; SDH) in which silencing gene rearrangement of the Sdhc floxed allele is driven by doxycycline-dependent expression of cre-recombinase from a tet-inducible promoter (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl). Following doxycycline induction, dilutional subcloning was employed to obtain stable Sdhc -/- (SDHC KO) cell lines. Sdhc gene rearrangement status for each clonally-derived cell line was confirmed by PCR. Cell lines were grown in standard DMEM containing penicillin/streptomycin antibiotics (0.5 mg/mL), non-essential amino acids (100 micromolar each of glycine, alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, and serine), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), and HEPES buffer (10 mM) at 21% O2 and 5% CO2. Following cell line derivation and verification of Sdhc genetic status, cells were treated with histone acetyltransferase inhibitors C646 (10 µM) and MB-3 (100 µM) or vehicle for 3 days. Accessible chromatin regions were subsequently interrogated by ATAC-seq.

For comparison, we include an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt) that retains one intact copy of Sdhc upon doxycycline exposure. Following doxycycline induction of both cell lines, dilutional subcloning was employed to obtain stable Sdhc -/- (experimental) and Sdhc +/- (control) cell lines. Sdhc gene rearrangement status for each clonally-derived cell line was confirmed by PCR. Cell lines were grown in standard DMEM containing penicillin/streptomycin antibiotics (0.5 mg/mL), non-essential amino acids (100 micromolar each of glycine, alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, and serine), sodium pyruvate (1 mM), and HEPES buffer (10 mM) at 21% O2 and 5% CO2. Following cell line derivation and verification of Sdhc genetic status, transcriptomic profiling for each cell line was performed by RNA-seq.

Using this model and an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt), we have characterized the time-course of Sdhc gene rearrangement, protein loss, and succinate accumulation following induction with doxycycline. Using RNA-seq, we have quantified changes in gene expression due to succinate accumulation using our Sdhc -/- cell line. Through a time-course experimental design, we have grown R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl (experimental) and R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt (control) iMEFs in standard DMEM media containing 10% FBS and quantified transcriptional changes in these cells as a function of time after triggering SDHC gene rearrangement via doxycycline exposure.

Project description:We have developed a tet-inducible immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cell culture system for studying the cross-talk between TCA cycle metabolism and the epigenome, in which silencing gene rearrangement of the Sdhc floxed allele is driven by doxycycline-dependent expression of cre-recombinase from a tet-inducible promoter (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/fl). Using this model and an isogenic Sdhc wt control line (R26M2rtTA/+;TetOcre;Sdhcfl/wt), we have characterized differences in H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and chromatin succinylation that occur genome-wide in response to SDHC loss. For these experiments, both cell lines were grown in standard DMEM media containing 10% FBS at 37˚C and 5% CO2. 16 days after induction of Sdhc gene rearrangement by doxycycline induction, chromatin from the respective lines was prepared and patterns of H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and chromatin succinylation were studied via ChIP-seq.
