Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes( PRCs) play critical role in cell fate decisions during normal development as well as disease progression through mediate histone modifications such as H3K27me3 and H2AK119ub. How exactly PRCs recruited to chromatin remains to be fully illuminated. Here, we report that YTHDF1, a N6-methyladenine (m6A) RNA reader previously known being mainly cytoplasmic, associates with RNF2, a PRC1 protein that mediates H2AK119ub in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Specifically, a portion of YTHDF1 localizes in the nuclei and associates with RNF2/ H2AK119ub on a subset of gene loci related to neural development functions. Knock-down YTHDF1 attenuates H2AK119ub modification on these genes and promotes neural differentiation in hESCs. Our findings provide another non-canonical mechanism of YTHDF1 to participate in PRC1 mediated chromatin modification in hESCs.

Project description:To understand the functional role of PRC1 in defining the epigenomic and transcriptional landscape in Aundiff, we eliminated PRC1 function in germ cells using Ddx4-Cre to mutate the E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF2 on a background lacking its partially redundant paralog RING1 (RING1A) to create PRC1 conditional knockout (PRC1cKO) mice. We discover a key role of Polycomb complexes in shielding the undifferentiated state of mouse adult spermatogonia. CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag for H2AK119ub, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 in WT, PRC1ctrl and PRC1cKO spermatogonial cells.

Project description:In mammals, sex differentiation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) is determined by extrinsic cues from the environment1. In female PGCs, expression of Stimulated by retinoic acid 8 (Stra8) and meiosis are induced in response to retinoic acid (RA) provided by the mesonephroi2-4. Given the widespread role of RA signaling during development8,9, the molecular mechanism specifying the competence of PGCs to timely express Stra8 and enter meiosis are unknown2,10. Here we identify gene dosage dependent roles in PGC development for Ring1 and Rnf2, two central components of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1)11,13. Both paralogs are essential for PGC development between day 10.5 and 11.5 of gestation. Rnf2 is subsequently required in female PGCs for maintaining high levels of Oct4 and Nanog expression6, and for preventing premature induction of meiotic gene expression and entry into meiotic prophase. Chemical inhibition of RA signaling partially suppresses precocious Oct4 down-regulation and Stra8 activation in Rnf2-deficient female PGCs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses show that Stra8 is a direct target of PRC1 and PRC2 in PGCs. These data demonstrate the importance of PRC1 gene dosage in PGC development and in coordinating the timing of sex differentiation of female PGCs by antagonizing extrinsic RA signaling. Gene expression of mouse primordial germ cells was analysed using Affymetrix microarray. Primodial germ cells were purified from embryos carrying Oct4(deltaPE)-GFP transgene by FACS.

Project description:9-day-old Sertoli cells have a stronger proliferative activity compared with 21-day-old Sertoli cells. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during this process. Rat Sertoli cell were selected at postnatal day 9 and postnatal day 21 for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain the differentially expressed genes that were involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle, and cell death which were associated with the function of Sertoli cell.

Project description:Polycomb repressive complexes (PRC) 1 and 2 are essential chromatin regulators of cell identity. PRC1, a dominant executer of Polycomb-mediated control, functions as multiple sub-complexes that possess catalytic-dependent H2AK119 mono-ubiquitination (H2AK119ub) and catalytic-independent activities. Here, we show that despite its well-established repressor functions, PRC1 binds to both silent and active genes. Through in vivo loss-of-function studies, we show that global PRC1 function is essential for skin development and stem cell (SC) specification.
