KLF1 knock-down for HbF high-expression discovered by RNA-Seq profiles under human erythropoiesis

ABSTRACT: Krueppel-like factor 1 (KLF1) is a major transcription factor, which regulates the γ-globin to β-globin gene switch during erythropoiesis. The goal of this study was to investigate genome-wide transcriptome expression pattern in the presence of KLF1 knockdown to discover targets of KLF1 regulation involved in γ-globin silencing. To achieve KLF1 gene silencing, we stably transfected human primary erythroid cells generated from CD34+ cells, with a short hairpin lentiviral vector carrying a shKLF1 (short hairpin RNA for KLF1 loop) and a puromycin resistance gene. A set of three shKLF1 were designed uusing siDesign Center (Dharmacon) with the designations: 1) shKLF1-1, located in zinc finger at 3'-terminal; 1) shKLF1-2 located in Transcription Factor II H, and 3) shKLF1-3 located in 5’-terminal without a function region. After lentiviral packaging and transduction into CD34+ cells, each expression virus with encoding GFP, puromycin resistance fragment, and a loop consists of the KLF1 knock-down domain. The three shKLF1 vectors (shKLF1-1, shKLF1-2, shKLF1-3), along with scrambled control (shScr) was used to transduce human adult CD34+ stem cells isolated from peripheral blood of healthy adults. The cells were grown in one-phase liquid culture system as previously published by our group (Li B et al. Characterization of the transcriptome profiles related to globin gene switching during in vitro erythroid maturation. BMC Genomics. 2012; 13:153). At day-15 in the 28-day culture period, by real-time PCR and Western blot analysis we found KLF1 gene silencing mainly for shKLF-1 and shKLF-2; however, we isolated total RNA from the three stable lines for RNA-seq analysis.

Project description:The Krüppel-like factors, KLF1 and KLF2, positively regulate embryonic β-globin expression, and have additional overlapping roles in embryonic (primitive) erythropoiesis. KLF1-/-KLF2-/- double knockout mice are anemic at embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) and die by E11.5, in contrast to single knockouts. To investigate the combined roles of KLF1 and KLF2 in primitive erythropoiesis, expression profiling of E9.5 erythroid cells was performed. A limited number of genes had a significantly decreasing trend of expression in wild-type, KLF1-/- and KLF1-/-KLF2-/-. Among these, c-myc emerged as a central node in the most significant gene network. c-myc expression is synergistically regulated by KLF1 and KLF2, and both factors bind the c-myc promoters. To characterize the role of c-myc in primitive erythropoiesis, ablation was performed specifically in mouse embryonic proerythroblast cells. After E9.5, these embryos exhibit an arrest in the normal expansion of circulating red cells and develop anemia analogous to KLF1-/-KLF2-/-. In the absence of c-myc, circulating erythroid cells do not show the normal increase in α- and β-like globin expression, but interestingly, have accelerated erythroid maturation, between E9.5 and E11.5. This study reveals a novel regulatory network by which KLF1 and KLF2 regulate c-myc, to control the primitive erythropoietic program. Timed-pregnant KLF1+/-, KLF1+/- KLF2+/- females were anesthetized and sacrificed. E9.5 yolk sacs were dissected from the embryo, cryoprotected in 20% sucrose in PBS and frozen in OCT media. A small portion of the embryo tail was used for PCR genotyping. Eight micron frozen yolk sac sections were obtained and laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to isolate primitive erythroid precursors. For each biological replicate, 2 to 4 yolk sacs from 2 different litters were used. Total RNA was isolated from 8 different wild-type, 3 KLF1-/-, 3 KLF1-/- KLF2-/- erythroid samples and hybridized to Affymetrix 430 A 2.0 microarrays.
