RNA sequencing data of Kat6a (Moz) mutant embryonic mouse hearts (ING4 and ING5 are essential for histone H3 lysine 14 acetylation and epicardial cell lineage development)

ABSTRACT: Inhibitor of growth 4 and 5 (ING4 and ING5) are chromatin-binding proteins in the KAT6A, KAT6B and KAT7 histone acetyltransferase protein complexes. Heterozygous mutations in the KAT6A or KAT6B gene cause human disorders with cardiac defects, but the contribution of their chromatin adaptor proteins to development is unknown. We found that Ing5-/- mice had isolated cardiac ventricular septal defects. ING4 and ING5 are structurally similar proteins, suggesting a degree of redundancy. Combined loss of ING4 and ING5 caused developmental arrest at embryonic day E8.5, loss of histone H3 lysine 14 acetylation (H3K14ac) and a reduction in H3K23ac levels. Ing4+/-Ing5-/- hearts showed a paucity of epicardial cells and epicardium-derived cells, failure of myocardium compaction and coronary vasculature defects, accompanied by a reduction in the expression of epicardium genes. Our findings suggest that ING4 and ING5 are essential for heart development and promote epicardium and epicardium-derived cell fates and mutation of the human ING5 gene as a possible cause of isolated ventricular septal defects.
