ChIP-seq analysis of H3K4me3, H3K9me3 and MPHOSPH8 in MOLM-13 cells

ABSTRACT: Human cancers including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) hijack epigenetic machinery to drive malignant self-renewal, whereas dysregulated epigenetic states also create selective and targetable liabilities. We performed domain-based CRISPR/Cas9 screens of human chromatin regulators and identified MPHOSPH8 (or MPP8), a component of the HUSH complex and repressor of LINE-1 retrotransposons, as a selective epigenetic dependency of AML cells. While dispensable for normal hematopoiesis, MPP8 loss inhibited AML initiation and maintenance by reactivating LINE-1 retrotransposons. Activation of endogenous or ectopic LINE-1 photocopied MPP8 loss, whereas blocking LINE-1 retrotransposition abrogated MPP8-deficiency-induced phenotypes. Reactivated LINE-1 retrotransposition increased DNA damage, activated cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 (or CDKN1A), and induced AML differentiation. Enhanced L1 suppression in AML stem cells is associated with therapy resistance and poor prognosis. Hence, while retrotransposons are historically recognized as sources of genetic instability and somatic mutations, we uncover an unexpected role for HUSH/MPP8 in promoting cancer by suppressing genomic transposable elements.

Transcriptional changes upon Mphosph8 loss in mouse brains on postnatal day 14.

Project description:We report that murine MPP8 and MORC2A are highly expressed in the brain and exclusively found in neurons. We show that genetic inactivation of Mphosph8 (coding for MPP8) or Morc2a in the nervous system of mice leads to alterations in brain architecture, behavioral impairments and reduction of life span. By doing RNA-seq and ChIP-seq experiments, we found that MPP8 and MORC2A suppress the repetitive-like protocadherin gene cluster on mouse chromosome 18 in a H3K9me3-dependent manner.

Interplay between Two Paralogous Human Silencing Hub (HuSH) Complexes in Regulating LINE-1 Element Silencing [RNA-seq]

Project description:The Human Silencing Hub (HuSH) complex is a complex that silences retrotransposable elements in vertebrates. Here, we identify a second HuSH complex, designated HuSH2, which is centered around TASOR2, a paralog of the core TASOR protein in HuSH. Our findings reveal that HuSH and HuSH2 localize to distinct and non-overlapping genomic loci. Specifically, HuSH localizes to and represses LINE-1 retrotransposons, whereas HuSH2 targets and represses KRAB-ZNFs and interferon signaling and response genes. We use in silico protein structure predictions to simulate MPP8 interactions with TASOR paralogs, guiding amino acid substitutions that disrupted binding to HuSH complexes. These MPP8 transgenes and other constructs reveal the importance of HuSH complex quantities in regulating LINE-1 activity. Furthermore, our results suggest that dynamic changes in TASOR and TASOR2 expression enable cells to finely tune HuSH-mediated silencing. This study offers insights into the interplay of HuSH complexes, highlighting their vital role in retrotransposon regulation.

Profiling the genome-wide distribution of TASOR2 upon expression of a LINE-1 reporter or Vpx

Project description:The HUSH complex preserves genome integrity through the epigenetic repression of invasive genetic elements. However, despite our understanding of HUSH as an obligate complex of three subunits, only loss of MPP8 or Periphilin, but not TASOR, triggers interferon signaling following derepression of endogenous retroelements. Here we resolve this paradox by characterising a second HUSH complex which shares MPP8 and Periphilin but assembles around TASOR2, an uncharacterized paralog of TASOR. Whereas HUSH represses LINE-1 retroelements marked by the repressive histone modification H3K9me3, HUSH2 is recruited by the transcription factor IRF2 to repress interferon-stimulated genes. Mechanistically, HUSH-mediated retroelement silencing sequesters the limited pool of the shared subunits MPP8 and Periphilin, preventing TASOR2 from forming HUSH2 complexes and hence relieving the HUSH2-mediated repression of interferon-stimulated genes. Thus, competition between two HUSH complexes intertwines retroelement silencing with the induction of an immune response, coupling epigenetic and immune aspects of genome defense.
