Transcriptommic profiling of hematopoietic progenitor cells following PCGF1 loss [RNA-Seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Polycomb proteins are epigenetic regulators important for cell fate decision and maintenance. Here we show that PCGF1, one of components of Polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 1 is important for the differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) towards lymphoid lineage. The deletion of Pcgf1 in HSPCs lead to severe defects in B cell development with an expansion of myeloid progenitors. The blockade of B cell differentiation occurred at the lymphoid-primed multipotent progenitor (LMPP) stage. Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by DNA sequencing analysis of normal LMPP-like cells demonstrated that PCGF1 colocalized with RING1A/B and PRC2. Upon deletion of Pcgf1, we found dramatic decline of H3K27me3 levels, resulting in de-repression of target genes. Strikingly, the occupancy of RING1A/B, PRC2 and monoubiquitination of histone H2A at lysin 119 on the target loci was not affected. These results demonstrate that the PCGF1 safeguards the immune system development by directly regulating the PRC2-mediated H3K27me3 levels.
