Project description:We are exploring the molecular pathways activated during lymphoid transformation with the long term goal of developing better therapies. Our focus is the HMGA1a oncogene because our studies indicate that it plays an important role in aggressive human lymphoid leukemia and lymphoma. We have developed the transgenic mouse over-expressing HMGA1a in lymphoid cells that develop aggressive lymphoid tumors by 8-10 months with histopathologic findings resembling human T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia. By analyzing the gene expression profiles of our HMGA1a mouse model we plan to identify molecular pathways activated by HMGA1a in lymphoid transformation. Results from these studies will enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of lymphoid malignancies and should lead to the development of better therapies. A total of 20,669 genes represented on the Affymetrix Mouse 430 2.0 GeneChipTM array were screened with cRNA prepared from lymphoid cells of HMGA1a transgenic mice at different stages in tumorigenesis. These mice develop lymphoid tumors with complete penetrance at 8-12 months of age. We isolated RNA from splenocytes at 2 months (before tumors develop) and at 12 months (after tumors are well-established). These results were compared to splenocytes from control littermates. We used two statistical approaches to define differentially expressed genes, including a parametric (Partek genomics suite analysis) and nonparametric (CAM) approach.

Project description:Myocardial infarction causes a massive loss of cardiomyocytes, leading to the formation of a fibrotic scar resulting in impaired cardiac function. In contrast to mammals, zebrafish display robust cardiac regeneration following injury due to the proliferation of pre-existing cardiomyocytes in the injury border zone. Here, we aim to identify transcriptomic differences that will help explain the differential cardiac regenerative capacity observed between the injured zebrafish and mammalian heart. First, we transcriptionally profiled the border zone of the injured mouse heart, which does not support regeneration. Then, we bioinformatically compared the transcriptome of the mouse border zone with the zebrafish border zone, identifying many genes and processes overlapping or diverging between the two species. Interestingly, we identified the architectural chromatin remodeller hmga1a to be expressed in the zebrafish, but not the mouse border zone. Using a loss-of-function hmga1a mutant we show that hmga1a is required for border zone cardiomyocyte proliferation and zebrafish heart regeneration. Using single-cell RNA-sequencing, we identify the near absence of proliferative cardiomyocyte sub-populations in hmga1a mutant border zones. Furthermore, we show that overexpression of hmga1a can induce cardiomyocyte proliferation in uninjured zebrafish hearts. Using a combination of RNA- and ATAC-sequencing, we show that hmga1a overexpression leads to the induction of a broad border zone-like gene program, including robust chromatin remodelling. Last, we provide evidence suggesting that overexpression of Hmga1 can stimulate mammalian cardiomyocyte proliferation and functional recovery post myocardial infarction. Taken together, through transcriptional comparison of the zebrafish and mouse border zone we have identified hmga1a as a key determinator of cardiac regenerative potential.

Project description:The prospect of repairing the heart after a myocardial infarction by promoting cardiomyocyte proliferation has gained momentum from studies showing the heart's regenerative ability in fish, amphibians and neonatal mammals. Despite evidence of varying cardiomyocyte proliferation rates among species, the molecular mechanisms driving cardiomyocyte cell cycle re-entry remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we employed spatial transcriptomics and identified high-mobility group AT-hook 1a (Hmga1a) as being upregulated in cardiomyocytes of the injury border zone in zebrafish, but not in mice. Through knock-out and cardiomyocyte-specific overexpression of hmga1a, we found that Hmga1a was required for zebrafish heart regeneration and sufficient to drive cardiomyocyte proliferation. In addition, a single injection of Hmga1 virus in injured mouse hearts resulted in increased border zone cardiomyocyte proliferation and improved heart function. Mechanistically, Hmga1 expression reduced repressive H3K27me3 histone modifications from developmentally-regulated genes and induced a border zone-like transcriptional program in adult cardiomyocytes. Our study demonstrates the value of interspecies comparisons by identifying Hmga1 as a critical driver of heart regeneration and highlights Hmga1 as a promising therapeutic candidate to improve cardiac repair after injury.

Project description:Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) transform to myelofibrosis (MF) and highly lethal acute myeloid leukemia (AML), although actionable mechanisms driving progression remain elusive. The HMGA1 chromatin regulator is up-regulated during MPN progression with highest levels after transformation. HMGA1 depletion in JAK2V617F MPN AML cell lines disrupts proliferation, clonogenicity, and leukemic engraftment. Surprisingly, loss of just a single Hmga1 allele prevents progression to MF in JAK2V617F transgenic mice, decreasing blood counts and expansion in stem and myeloid progenitors while preventing splenomegaly and fibrosis within the spleen and bone marrow. RNA sequencing revealed HMGA1-dependent transcriptional networks that govern proliferation (E2F, G2M, mitosis, MYC targets) and cell fate, including the GATA2 master regulatory gene. Silencing GATA2 recapitulates phenotypes observed with HMGA1 depletion whereas GATA2 re-expression partially rescues leukemogenesis. HMGA1 transactivates GATA2 through sequences near the developmental enhancer (+9.5), increasing chromatin accessibility and recruiting active histone marks. Further, HMGA1 transcriptional networks, including GATA2, are activated in human MF after leukemic transformation. Further, HMGA1 depletion synergizes with the JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, to prolong survival in murine MPN AML. These findings illuminate HMGA1 as a key epigenetic switch required for MPN transformation and promising therapeutic target to treat or prevent disease progression.
