ChIPseq on H4K20me1 on TX1072 cell line at different times of Xist induction through Doxycycline.

ABSTRACT: During X chromosome inactivation (XCI), in female mammals, gene silencing is initiated by a long-noncoding RNA, called Xist. Xist RNA accumulation also allows for the deposition of specific chromatin marks. Among others, PRC2-dependent H3K27me3 and PrSet7-dependent H4K20me1 become enriched at the inactive X chromosome. However, the dynamics of this process in relation to Xist RNA accumulation remains unknown as is the molecular mechanism allowing for H4K20me1 enrichment. To follow XCI dynamics in living cells, we developed a genetically encoded, H3K27me3-specific intracellular antibody, or H3K27me3-mintbody. By combining it with live-imaging of H4K20me1, the X chromosome and Xist RNA we uncover striking similarities in the accumulation dynamics of H3K27me3 and H4K20me1. Further ChIP-seq analysis confirmed concurrent accumulation of H4K20me1 and H3K27me3 during XCI albeit with distinct genomic distributions. Xist B and C repeat mutant, which can silence the X but does not allow for H3K27me3 enrichment, also showed lack of H4K20me1 deposition. Thus, both H3K27me3 and H4K20me1 are deposited at the inactive X through a common molecular mechanism but are dispensable for the initiation of gene silencing.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a dosage compensation mechanism in female cells to regulate X-linked gene expression. We report here that subcultures from established lines of female hESCs displayed variations (0-100%) in the expression of XCI markers such as XIST RNA coating and enrichment of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) on inactive X chromosome. Surprisingly, regardless of the presence or absence of XCI markers in different cultures, all female hESCs we examined (H7, H9, and HSF6 cells) exhibit a mono-allelic expression pattern for a majority of X-linked genes. Our results suggest that these established female hESCs have completed XCI during the process of derivation and/or propagation, and the XCI pattern of lines we investigated is already non-random. However, XIST gene expression in subsets of female hESCs is unstable and subject to epigenetic silencing through DNA methylation. Concomitant with the loss of XCI markers including XIST expression and H3K27me3, approximately 12% of X-linked CpG islands become hypomethylated and a subset of previously silenced X-linked alleles are reactivated, resulting a significant elevation of gene expression dosage. Because changes in dosage compensation of X-linked genes could impair somatic cell function, we propose that XCI status should be routinely checked in subcultures of female hESCs, with cultures displaying XCI markers better suited for use in regenerative medicine. Keywords: Genotyping, gene expression and DNA methylation We used Affymetrix Genotyping array for looking for X-linked SNPs with HSF6, H7 and H9 genomic DNA, Agilent Gene expression array for comparing gene expression patten changes between HSF6 hESCs with X-inactiation and HSF6 hESCs without X-inactivation (3 repeats). Finally, mDIP-Chip method was used to detect X-linked CpG island methylation changes differences between hESCs with X-inactivation and hESCs without X-inactivation using Agilent CpG island array (3 repeats, and one of them has dye swap)
