Ikaros family proteins redundantly regulate temporal patterning in the developing mouse retina

ABSTRACT: Temporal identity factors regulate competence of neural progenitors to generate specific cell types in a time-dependent manner, but how they operate remains poorly defined. In the developing mouse retina, the Ikaros zinc-finger transcription factor Ikzf1 regulates production of early-born cell types, except cone photoreceptors. In this study we show that, during early stages of retinal development, another Ikaros family protein, Ikzf4, functions redundantly with Ikzf1 to regulate cone photoreceptor production. Using CUT&RUN and functional assays, we show that Ikzf4 binds and represses genes involved in late-born rod photoreceptor specification, hence favoring cone production. At late stages, when Ikzf1 is no longer expressed in progenitors, we show that Ikzf4 re-localizes to target genes involved in gliogenesis and is required for Müller glia production. We report that Ikzf4 regulates Notch signaling genes and is sufficient to activate the Hes1 promoter through two Ikzf GGAA-binding motifs, suggesting a mechanism by which Ikzf4 may influence gliogenesis. These results uncover a combinatorial role for Ikaros family members during nervous system development and provide mechanistic insights on how they temporally regulate cell fate output.

Direct neuronal reprogramming by temporal identity factors

Project description:Temporal identity factors are sufficient to reprogram developmental competence of neural progenitors and shift cell fate output, but whether they can also reprogram the identity of terminally differentiated cells is unknown. To address this question, we designed a conditional gene expression system that allows rapid screening of potential reprogramming factors in mouse retinal glial cells combined with genetic lineage tracing. Using this assay, we found that co-expression of the early temporal identity transcription factors Ikzf1 and Ikzf4 is sufficient to directly convert Müller glial cells into cells that translocate to the outer nuclear layer (ONL), where photoreceptor cells normally reside. We name these “induced ONL (iONL)” cells. Using genetic lineage tracing, histological, immunohistochemical, and single-cell transcriptome and multiome analyses, we show that expression of Ikzf1/4 in Müller glia in vivo, without retinal injury, mostly generate iONL cells that share molecular characteristics with bipolar cells, although a fraction of them stain for Rxrg, a cone photoreceptor marker. Furthermore, we show that co-expression of Ikzf1 and Ikzf4 can reprogram mouse embryonic fibroblasts to induced neurons (iN) in culture by rapidly remodeling chromatin and activating a neuronal gene expression program. This work uncovers general neuronal reprogramming properties for temporal identity factors in terminally differentiated cells.

Manipulating the transcriptome and chromatin accessibility in T cells through CRISPR-induced alternative splicing of IKZF1 (ATACseq)

Project description:Genome-wide association studies have identified statistically significant associations between genetic variants in or near the IKZF1 gene and several autoimmune disorders. IKZF1, encoding the transcription factor Ikaros, produces at least 10 distinct transcripts via alternative splicing. To explore the role of alternative splicing of IKZF1 in mature T cells, we generated a panel of Jurkat T-cell clones with various truncating mutations in IKZF1 exon 4, exon 6 or both. Differences among clones in gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and protein abundance were assessed by RNA-seq, ATAC-seq and immunoblotting. Clones with single targeting events in either exon 4 or 6 clustered separately from double-targeted clones on multiple parameters, but overall, clone responses were highly heterogeneous. Perturbation of IKZF1 splicing resulted in significant differences in expression and chromatin accessibility of other autoimmunity-associated genes and elicited compensatory expression changes in other IKZF family members. Our results suggest that even modest perturbations of IKZF1 splicing can have significant effects on gene expression and function in mature T cells.

Ikaros and Aiolos directly regulate AP-1 transcriptional complexes and are essential for natural killer cell development [RNA-seq]

Project description:Ikaros family transcription factors regulate lymphocyte biology and are targets of the immunomodulatory imide drugs (IMiDs) for hematological malignancies. Ikaros (Ikzf1/IKZF1) is the most broadly expressed family member in lymphocytes, yet its role in innate lymphopoiesis is unknown. Here we used gene inactivation to reveal that NK cell-expression of Ikaros is essential for normal NK lymphopoiesis. Mechanistically, IKZF1 directly repressed Cish and Socs2, known negative regulators of IL-15R resulting in impaired IL-15 signaling in Ikzf1-null NK cells. Bcl2l11/BIM levels and apoptosis were increased in Ikzf1-null NK cells which in part accounted for the NK lymphopenia since both apoptosis and NK cell frequency were restored to normal levels when Ikzf1 and Bcl2l11 were co-deleted. Ikzf1-null NK cells presented extensive transcriptional alterations with a striking reduction in expression of genes encoding AP-1 transcriptional complexes (Fos/Jun members) and a compensatory increase in Ikzf2 and Ikzf3. Both IKZF1 and IKZF3 directly bound AP-1 family members and deletion of both Ikzf1 and Ikzf3 in NK cells resulted in a further reduction in Jun/Fos expression and a complete loss of peripheral NK cells in mice. Consistently, IKZF1 bound Jun/Fos genes at the same locations in activated B cells identifying a novel and conserved role for IKZF1 in Jun/Fos regulation. Collectively we show the Ikaros-family are novel regulators of apoptosis, cytokine responsiveness and AP-1 transcriptional activity required for NK cell development and function.

Stage-specific control of early B cell development by the transcription factor Ikaros

Project description:Ikaros is an essential regulator of lymphopoiesis. Here, we studied the B-cell-specific function of Ikaros by conditional Ikzf1 inactivation in pro-B cells. B-cell development was arrested at an aberrant ‘pro-B’ cell stage characterized by increased cell adhesion and loss of pre-B cell receptor signaling. Ikaros was found to activate genes coding for pre-BCR signal transducers and to repress genes involved in the downregulation of pre-BCR signaling and upregulation of the integrin signaling pathway. Unexpectedly, derepression of Aiolos expression could not compensate for the loss of Ikaros in pro-B cells. Ikaros differentially controlled active chromatin at promoters and enhancers of repressed and activated target genes. Notably, Ikaros binding and target gene expression was dynamically regulated at distinct stages of early B-lymphopoiesis. 16 RNA-Seq samples in pre-proB cells (4 replicates, for each 2 controls and 2 experimental samples); 4 RNA-Seq samples in pro-B cells in Rag2-/- backgrounds (Ikzf1 deleted versus non deleted, 2 replicates each); 4 RNA-Seq samples in c-Kit high pro-B cells (Ikzf1 deleted versus non deleted, 2 replicates each); 4 RNA-Seq samples in pro-B cells (Ikzf1 deleted versus non deleted, 2 replicates each); 2 RNA-Seq samples pre-B cells wild type; 8 chromatin ChIP-Seq samples (4x H3K9ac, 4x H3K4me3, Ikzf1 deleted/non deleted, two replicates each).; 4 Transcription factor ChIP-Seq samples in pro-B cells; 1 Transcription factor ChIP-Seq samples in DP-T cells; 1 Transcription factor ChIP-Seq samples in pre-pro-B cells; 2 Mi-2b Chip-Seq samples (Ikzf1 deleted versus non deleted); 1 ChIP-Seq input track for pro-B cells; 1 ChIP-Seq input track for DP-T cells

Regulation of heterochromatin formation and tumor suppression in leukemia by IKAROS, HDAC1 and EZH2 [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The IKZF1 gene encodes IKAROS – a DNA binding protein that acts as a tumor suppressor in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). IKAROS can act as a transcriptional repressor via chromatin remodeling, however the mechanisms through which Ikaros exerts its tumor suppressor function via heterochromatin in T-ALL are largely unknown. We studied human and mouse T-ALL using loss-of-function and Ikzf1 re-expression approach, along with Ikzf1-wildtype primary human and mouse T-ALL and thymocytes to establish the role of Ikaros and Ikaros-associated protein histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) in global regulation of facultative heterochromatin and transcriptional repression in T-ALL. Results identified novel Ikaros and HDAC1 functions in T-ALL: Ikaros and HDAC1 are essential for EZH2 histone methyltransferase activity, and formation of facultative heterochromatin; Recruitment of HDAC1 by Ikaros is critical for establishment of H3K27me3 and repression of active enhancers; and Ikaros-HDAC1 complexes promote formation and expansion of H3K27me3 large organized chromatin lysine domains (LOCKs) and broad genic repression domains (BGRDs) in T-ALL. Our results establish that Ikaros’ tumor suppressor function in T-ALL occurs via activation of EZH2 and HDAC1 function, global regulation of the facultative heterochromatin landscape and silencing of active enhancers that regulate oncogene expression.
