Project description:Growth factor independent-1 (Gfi1) is a zinc finger transcription factor with a SNAG amino-terminal repressor domain and is critically required for normal myelopoesis. Gfi1 is normally expressed in HSCs and induced during differentiation from CMPs to GMPs. Gfi1 loss-of-function mutation in mice and humans induces an arrest during myeloid differentiation and an absolute block to the formation mature neutrophils. This comparative microarray study was initiated to identify microRNAs which are potentially regulated by Gfi1 during granulopoiesis. The Gfi1 null allele from Orkin (deletion of exons 2 and 3) was backcrossed to B6 or Balb/c mice for at least 7 generations. RNA was isolated from low density bone marrow samples from Gfi1+/+ and Gfi1-/- B6 littermates, as well as Gfi1+/+ and Gfi1-/- Balb/c littermates.

Project description:The incidence of cancer is not only influenced by exposure to environmental factors such as toxic substances and chemotherapy, but is also a result of individual predispositions. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) represent one such individual predisposition to cancer1. Gfi136N is a SNP in the coding region of the gene “Growth factor independence 1 (Gfi1)” predisposing to development of Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the mechanisms how this polymorphism is associated with AML are unknown. Here we present a mouse model in which the presence of Gfi136N leads to altered epigenetic modifications in the myeloid progenitor fraction “Granulocytic Monocytic Progenitor (GMP)” and demonstrates how this might predispose to AML. Presence of Gfi136N leads to a different epigenetic programming of the GMPs resulting in higher levels of the leukemogenic transcription factor Hoxa9. To our knowledge, this is the first mouse model of a SNP leading to epigenetic changes. Thus, SNPs not only result in an altered structure or expression level of certain proteins but here we show that SNPs might also lead to different cancer related epigenetic modifications. We used microarrays to detail the changes in the program of gene expression of GMPs induced by the knock in of human Gfi1 variants in the mouse Gfi1 locus Bone marrow derived granulocyte monocyte precursors (GMPs) from wt.-,Gfi1 knock-out.-, human Gfi1-knock in and human Gfi1-SNP36N knock in mice were collected by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) for total RNA extraction and gene expression analysis on affymetrix mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. We aimed to identify differentially regulated target genes of the human Gfi1-SNP36N variant in a mouse model system which mit contribute to the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

Project description:Pharmacologic inhibition of LSD1 induces molecular and morphologic differentiation of blast cells in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients harboring MLL gene translocations. In addition to its demethylase activity, LSD1 has a critical scaffolding function at genomic sites occupied by the SNAG domain transcription repressor GFI1. Importantly, inhibitors block both enzymatic and scaffolding activities, in the latter case by disrupting the protein:protein interaction of GFI1 with LSD1. To explore the wider consequences of LSD1 inhibition on the LSD1 protein complex we made use of mass spectrometry approaches. We discovered that the interaction of the HMG-box protein HMG20B with LSD1 was also disrupted by LSD1 inhibition. Downstream investigations revealed that HMG20B is colocated on chromatin genome-wide with GFI1 and LSD1; the strongest HMG20B binding colocates with the strongest GFI1 and LSD1 binding. Functional assays demonstrated that HMG20B depletion induces leukaemia cell differentiation and further revealed that HMG20B is required for the transcription repressor activity of GFI1 through stabilizing the interaction on chromatin of LSD1 with GFI1. Interaction of HMG20B with LSD1 is through its coiled-coil domain. Thus, HMG20B is a critical component of the GFI1:LSD1 transcription repressor complex which contributes to leukaemia cell differentiation block.

Project description:Through gene expression analysis of CMPs and GMPs at single cell levels, we identified CD62L as a marker to reveal the heterogeneity of CMPs and GMPs. We confirmed that the CD62L-low CMPs represent ‘bona fide’ CMPs, whereas CD62L-high CMPs are mostly restricted to GMP potentials both in mice and humans. In addition, we identified CD62L-neg GMPs as the most immature subsets in GMPs and Ly6c+CD62L-low and Ly6c+CD62L-high GMPs are skewed to neutrophil and monocyte differentiation, respectively. We performed gene expression profiling of CD62L-low CMPs, CD62L-high CMPs, CD62L-neg GMPs, CD62L-low GMPs, CD62L-high GMPs, bulk CMPs, and bulk GMPs.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to identify sites in genomic DNA that are occupied by GFI1 and the NurD complex, represented by its member the chromodomain helicase CHD4 or by a complex of GFI1 and CHD4 in myeloid precursors cells and to determined the effect on gene expression. Methods: Granulocytic-monocytic precursors (GMPs) as well as pre neutrophils and mature neutrophils were sorted by flow cytometry from murine bone marrow and sujected to RNA-seq and Chromatin-immuno-precipitation and sequencing (ChIP-Seq) and ATAC-seq procedures. Ch-IP seq experiments were done with antibodies against GFI1, CHD4 or different histone H3 modifications as indicated. Results: GFI1 and GFI1/CHD4 complexes occupies both promoter and enhancers of genes that are down or upregulated during the formation of preNeu and matNeu cells from GMPs Conclusions: Myeloid precursors required GFI1 to tether the NuRD complex to a specific set of target genes that are either transcriptionally active or poised to enable their transcriptional regulation during neutrophil differentiation by chromatin remodeling

Project description:The zinc finger transcription factor growth-factor-independent-1 (Gfi1) has been involved in various cellular differentiation processes. Gfi1 acts as a transcriptional repressor and splicing control factor upon binding to cognate binding sites in regulatory elements of its target genes. Here, we report that Gfi1-deficient mice develop autoimmunity. Gfi1-deficient peripheral B-cells show a hyperproliferative phenotype, leading to expansion of plasma cells, increased levels of nuclear autoantibodies, and immunoglobulin deposition in brain and kidneys. Dysregulation of multiple transcription factors and cell-cycle control elements may contribute to B-cell dependent autoimmunity. Gfi1 thus emerges as a novel master-regulator restricting autoimmunity. Experiment Overall Design: Splenic B220+CD19+ CD138- B cells of 4 week old Gfi1+/+ and Gfi1-/- mice were isolated and RNA was extracted from one sample per group and microarray analysis was performed.

Project description:Growth factor independent 1 (Gfi1) is a transcriptional repressor originally identified as a common integration site in Moloney-murine-leukemia-virus-induced T-cell leukemia. Gfi1-/- mice display increased apoptosis of developing thymocytes and T lymphopenia; however, there are contradictory reports of the absolute number of Gfi1-/- early T lineage progenitors. We used floxed alleles of Gfi1 crossed to various T-cell-specific Cre transgenes to map the requirements for Gfi1 during lymphoid priming and development. We show that Gfi1 is necessary for the proper formation and function of both lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitors and early T lineage progenitors. These defects correlate with a global inability of Gfi1-/- progenitors to enforce the activation of lymphoid genes including IL7R, Rag1, Flt3 and Notch1. Forced expression of intracellular Notch1 fails to rescue the Gfi1-/- defective lymphoid gene signature or Gfi1-/- T cell development. Instead, activation of Notch1 in Gfi1-/- cells results in a potent synthetic lethal phenotype that is most dramatic in immature thymocytes, but absent in mature peripheral T cells where developmental transcriptional programs are silent. Moreover, we find that the requirement for Gfi1-transcriptional integration of Notch-driven lymphoid transcriptional programs is cell autonomous. Our data indicate that Gfi1 is required at multiple independent stages of lymphoid development. In hematopoietic progenitors Gfi1 is necessary to integrate Notch1 signaling, mediate lymphoid priming, the formation of early T lineage progenitors and subsequent T lineage commitment. Lineage negative cells were purified by magnetic beads from RosaCreERT2 Gfi1 ex4-5 floxed mice and an activated Notch1 signal was introduced using a GFP+ retroviral vector. GFP+ progenitors were FACS-sorted and cultured in semi-solid media for one week to allow sufficient time to to instruct lymphoid differentiation, then replated in 1uM 4-OHT or EtOH control. After an additional 7 days, CFU were disrupted and RNA was isolated for global gene expression using microarrays.
