The Lysine Demethylase KDM7A Regulates Immediate Early Genes in Neurons.

ABSTRACT: Lysine demethylase KDM7A removes histone modifications H3K9me1/2 and H3K27me1/2. KDM7A plays critical roles in gene expression and contribute to biological processes including tumorigenesis, metabolism, and embryonic development. However, the functions of KDM7A in mammalian nervous system are still poorly explored. In this study, functional roles of KDM7A are comprehensively investigated in neuronal cells by applying CUT&Tag-seq, RNA-seq and mice models. Knockdown of Kdm7a in N2A cells result in the alteration of histone modifications near transcription start sites (TSSs) and the expression changes of a large number of genes. In particular, the expression of immediate early genes (IEGs), a series of genes maintaining the function of the nervous system and associating with neurological disorders, are significantly decreased upon Kdm7a knockdown. Furthermore, in vivo knockdown of Kdm7a in dentate gyrus (DG) neuron of mice hippocampus, via Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based stereotaxic microinjection, led to a significant decrease of the expression of c-Fos, a marker of neuron activity. Behavior assays in mice further revealed that Kdm7a knockdown in hippocampus repress neuron activity, which leading to impairment of emotion and memory. Collectively, the study reveals that KDM7A affects neuron functions by regulating IEGs, which may provide new clues for understanding epigenetic mechanisms in neurological disorders.

The lysine demethylase KDM7A regulates immediate early genes in neurons [CUT&Tag]

Project description:There are multiple post-translational modifications on amino acid residues at the N-terminus of histones that affect the structure of chromatin and alter the transcription of genes, thereby regulating a variety of biological processes. Lysine demethylase 7A (KDM7A) mainly removes histone modifications such as H3K9me1/2 and H3K27me1/2. Current research on KDM7A has focused on tumors, metabolism and development, while research on the function of the mammalian nervous system is still lacking. The functions and mechanisms of KDM7A in the regulation of neuronal cell differentiation and cell activity in the nervous system were investigated. Our study found that KDM7A regulates H3K9me2 and H3K27me2 but also affects other inhibitory or active histones, such as H3K9me3 and H3K27ac, thereby disturbing the transcription of some immediate early genes (IEGs) and consequently affecting the differentiation and activity of neuronal cells. IEGs are important for neuron cell proliferation, differentiation, formation of dendrites and neural circuit-related proteins, which are involved in maintaining the normal function of the nervous system. Imbalances in IEG expression have been found in some neurological disorders, such as depression and schizophrenia. Moreover, the changes in various histone modifications in neurodegenerative diseases and brain injury have recently received increasing attention. Therefore, our study provides a basis for revealing the epigenetic regulatory mechanisms of neurological disorders.

Illumina Microarray of MRC5 cell with or without KDM7A-DT overexpression

Project description:KDM7A Divergent Transcript (KDM7A-DT) is a stress-induced lncRNAs. In our previous studies, KDM7A-DT showed the most robust cellular phenotype alteration and a significant TP53-dependency upon oxidative and oncogenic stress induction. To investigate the functional roles of KDM7A-DT, we first performed overexpression experiments using fibroblasts. We found that MRC5 cells overexpressing KDM7A-DT escaped cell cycle proliferation and long-term survival ability and were associated with a distinct stress-related morphology (enlarged and flattened cells) compared to cells expressing just the vehicle control. To examine the effects of KDM7A-DT overexpression on the transcriptome, we performed a differential expression gene (DEG) analysis comparing a group of four independent biological replicates of MRC5 overexpressing KDM7A-DT to a group of samples from control cells.

Illumina Microarray of T47D cell with or without KDM7A-DT silencing under normal and oxidative stress conditions

Project description:KDM7A Divergent Transcript (KDM7A-DT) is a stress-induced lncRNAs. In our previous studies, KDM7A-DT showed the most robust cellular phenotype alteration and a significant TP53-dependency upon oxidative and oncogenic stress induction. Since about 50% of human breast cancers have mutant p53 and associated genetic alterations, it is essential to determine what effect a mutant p53 would have on acquired pro-oncogenic functions of KDM7A-DT. In these experiments, we used four antisense LNA Gapmer sequences designed by Exiqon (Vedbaek, Denmark). One of these was a negative control, while the other 3 were designed to target the end of the transcript representing the full-length lncRNA KDM7A-DT (lncRNA; GRCh38/hg38, chr7: 140,178,951-140,179,640). To test the effect of KDM7-DT in the context of mutant p53, we selected the p53-negative luminal BC cells T47D. For each of the LNA gapmers, we utilized 3 technical replicates across two main experimental conditions (normal vs. oxidative stress induced via 30 mins of 0.2 mM H2O2 treatment). Overall, we measured the signals for 47,323 Illumina array probes across 24 individual experiments (4 LNA gapmers * 3 technical replicates * 2 main experimental conditions).

Comparison of gene expression profiles between wild-type and Kdm7a mutan embryos

Project description:Temporal and spatial colinear expression of Hox genes determines the specification of positional identities of the embryo. Post-translational modifications of histones contribute to transcriptional regulation, and are required for proper control of biological processes, including differentiation and development. Lysine demethylase 7A (Kdm7a) demethylates lysine 9 di-methylation of histone H3 (H3K9me2) and participates in transcriptional activation of developmental genes. However, the role of Kdm7a during mouse embryonic development remains to be elucidated. Here, we show that Kdm7a-/- mice exhibit anterior homeotic transformation of the axial skeleton (i.e. an increase in the number of presacral elements). Importantly, posterior Hox genes (caudally from Hox9) are specifically down-regulated in Kdm7a-/- embryos, which correlate with increased levels of H3K9me2. Taken together, these data suggest that Kdm7a is able to control transcription of posterior Hox genes, likely through its demethylating activity, and thereby regulating anterior-posterior development in mice.

Integrative Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals Molecular Networks Defining Neuronal Maturation during Neurogenesis

Project description:Neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus contributes to information processing critical for cognition, adaptation, learning and memory, and is implicated in numerous neurological disorders. New neurons are continuously produced from neural stem cells via a well-controlled developmental process. The immature neuron stage defined by doublecortin (DCX) expression is the most sensitive to regulation by extrinsic factors. However, little is known about the dynamic biology within this critical interval that drives maturation and confers susceptibility to regulating signals. This study aims to test the hypothesis that DCX-expressing immature neurons in adult mouse hippocampus progress through developmental stages via activity of specific transcriptional networks. Using single-cell RNA-seq combined with a novel integrative bioinformatics approach, we discovered that individual immature neuron can be classified into distinct developmental subgroups based on characteristic gene expression profiles and subgroup-specific markers. Comparisons between immature and more mature subgroups revealed novel pathways involved in neuronal maturation. Genes enriched in more immature cells shared significant overlap with genes implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, while genes positively associated with neuronal maturation were enriched for autism-related gene sets. Our study thus discovers molecular signatures of individual adult-born immature neurons and unveils potential novel targets for therapeutic approaches to treat neurodevelopmental and neurological diseases. mRNA sequencing and expression estimation in 64 individual DCX-dsRed+ cells isolated from transgenic DCX-dsRed mice by FACS sorting

Nuclear miR-451a activates KDM7A and leads to cetuximab resistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [ChIRP-seq]

Project description:Cetuximab resistance has been a major challenge for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) during target therapy. Yet the mechanism that caused cetuximab resistance, especially the miRNA regulation therein remains unclear. With growing evidence suggests that miRNAs may function within the cell nucleus and act as “nuclear activating miRNAs” for targeting the promoter region or enhancers related to target genes. They are believed to regulate diseases development including tumorigenesis. This study elucidates a novel mechanism underlying cetuximab resistance in HNSCC involving the nuclear activation of KDM7A transcription via miR-451a. Herein, small RNA sequencing, qRT-PCR and FISH results provide compelling evidence of miR-451a nuclear enrichment with cetuximab treatment. ChIRP-seq, microarray, bioinformatic analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay results show that miR-451a interacts with an enhancer region in KDM7A, activating its expression and further facilitating cetuximab resistance. It is also demonstrated that activation of KDM7A by nuclear miR-451a is induced by cetuximab treatment and is AGO2 dependent. Analyses of HNSCC samples through logistic regression indicated the significance of miR-451a and KDM7A in cetuximab resistance. These discoveries hold promise for the potential utilization of miR-451a and KDM7A as valuable biomarkers for cetuximab resistance and emphasize the function of nuclear activating miRNAs.
