The distribution of HP1α in the genome of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells

ABSTRACT: Heterochromatin Protein 1α (HP1α, encoded by the CBX5 gene) is one of the most important HP1 family members and is a nonhistone chromosomal proteins involved in transcriptional silencing via heterochromatin formation and structural maintenance. Many studies have shown that the distribution of HP1α on polytene chromosomes is not restricted to the chromocenters or telomeres. HP1α binds to chromatin mainly through direct interactions with modified histones, especially trimethylated H3K9 (H3K9me3), through the Chromo domain, and by interactions with other proteins through the Chromo shadow domain. In cancerous lesions, HP1α is involved in the regulation of malignant behaviors, such as cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. To study the distribution of HP1α in the genome of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma cells, CUT & Tag was performed. We found that HP1α was significantly distributed in the promoter region of proliferation-related encoding genes. No peaks were detected in the normal control sample.

A heterochromatin gene signature unveils HP1α mediating neuroendocrine prostate cancer development and aggressiveness

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with hyperchromatic nuclei being a distinguishing histopathological feature. Here we show that, underlying this distinct nuclear structure, heterochromatin related genes are significantly enriched in NEPC. Among them, heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression is increased early in NE transdifferentiation and is consistently elevated in clinical NEPC samples. Functional studies showed that HP1α knockdown attenuates NEPC tumor growth by inhibiting proliferation and survival. Its ectopic expression significantly promotes NE transdifferentiation in adenocarcinoma cells subjected to androgen deprivation treatment. To identify mechanisms underlying the function of HP1α involved in NEPC cell proliferation and adenocarcinoma cell NE transdifferentiation, we analyzed gene expression profiles from stable NEPC cell lines with control or HP1α knockdown, and adenocarcinoma cell lines with control or HP1α overexpression, respectively.

Heterochromatin protein 1 alpha (HP1α) undergoes a monomer to dimer transition that opens and compacts live cell genome architecture

Project description:Our understanding of heterochromatin nanostructure and its capacity to mediate gene silencing in a living cell has been prevented by the diffraction limit of optical microscopy. Thus, here to overcome this technical hurdle, and directly measure the nucleosome arrangement that underpins this dense chromatin state, we coupled fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between histones core to the nucleosome, with molecular editing of heterochromatin protein 1 alpha (HP1α). Intriguingly, this super- resolved readout of nanoscale chromatin structure, alongside fluorescence fluctuation spectroscopy (FFS) and FLIM-FRET analysis of HP1α protein-protein interaction, revealed nucleosome arrangement to be differentially regulated by HP1α oligomeric state. Specifically, we found HP1α monomers to impart a previously undescribed global nucleosome spacing throughout genome architecture that is mediated by trimethylation on lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me3) and locally reduced upon HP1α dimerisation. Collectively, these results demonstrate HP1α to impart a dual action on chromatin that increases the dynamic range of nucleosome proximity. We anticipate that this finding will have important implications for our understanding of how live cell heterochromatin structure regulates genome function.

Toxic C9orf72 poly(PR) binds heterochromatin, disrupts HP1α and causes dsRNA accumulation

Project description:How G4C2 repeat expansions in C9orf72 cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is not understood. Here, we report the first mouse model to express poly(PR), a dipeptide repeat protein synthesized from expanded G4C2 repeats. Expression of GFP-(PR)50 throughout the mouse brain yielded progressive brain atrophy, neuron5 loss, loss of poly(PR)-positive cells and gliosis, culminating in motor and memory impairments. We found that poly(PR) bound DNA, localized to heterochromatin, and caused abnormal histone methylation, lamin invaginations, decreases in HP1α expression, and disruptions of HP1α liquid phases. These aberrations of histone methylation, lamins and HP1α, which regulate heterochromatin structure and gene expression, were accompanied by repetitive element10 expression and double-stranded RNA accumulation. Thus, we uncover new mechanisms by which poly(PR) contributes to c9FTD/ALS pathogenesis.

Effect of depletion of Hp1α (Cbx5) and Hp1β (Cbx1) on gene expression of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs)

Project description:To investigate the function of HP1α and HP1β proteins in the regulation of heterochromatin in mESCs, we isolated blastocysts from matings of mice homozygous for Hp1βF/F; Hp1αF/F in a single well of a 96-well plate in ESC medium. After 2 days, when blastocysts hatched, they were trypsinized and cells were seeded in the same well for other 2 days. Expanded mESC clones were further tested for their genotype by PCR. A single clone of Hp1βF/F; Hp1αF/F was transfected with either pCAG-Cre-GFP or pCAG-GFP as a control. GFP positive cells were sorted by flow cytometry and seeded into 10 cm plates. Individual clones were isolated and expanded. Deletion of Hp1β or Hp1α floxed alleles in pCAG-Cre-GFP transfected clones was tested by Western Blotting with appropriate antibodies.

HP1β has distinct subnuclear localizations, chromatin binding features and functions in embryonic stem cells and differentiating cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:In recent years, several chromatin-related proteins have been shown to regulate ESC pluripotency and/or differentiation, although the role of the major heterochromatin proteins in pluripotency remains largely unknown. Here we identify heterochromatin protein 1-beta (HP1β) to be differentially localized and associated with chromatin in pluripotent and differentiated cells, to be essential for proper ESC differentiation as well as for the maintenance of the pluripotent state. Microscopy analysis supported by biochemical fractionations and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments demonstrate that unlike its prominent localization in heterochromatic chromocenters in differentiated cells, HP1β is diffuse in the ESC nucleoplasm, poorly bound to chromatin, and highly expressed. The fraction of HP1β that does associate with chromatin in ESCs is highly enriched in genic regions. HP1β-knockout ESCs but not HP1α knockout ESCs exhibit a loss of the morphological and proliferative characteristics of embryonic pluripotent cells. HP1β depletion in ESCs results in reduced expression of pluripotency factors and aberrant differentiation. In contrast, HP1β depletion in differentiated cells perturbs the maintenance of differentiation, and facilitates reprogramming to induced pluripotent stem cells. Our results demonstrate a dual role for HP1β, in ESCs it is essential for pluripotency maintenance, and in differentiated cells for proper differentiation. ChIP-Seq of HP1β in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Evolutional heterochromatin condensation delineates chromocenter formation and retrotransposon constraint in plants

Project description:Heterochromatic condensates (chromocenters) are critical for maintaining the silencing of heterochromatin. However, it is a riddle why the presence of chromocenters is variable across species. Here, we reveal that variations in the plant heterochromatin protein ADCP1 confer a diversity in chromocenter formation via phase separation. ADCP1 physically interacts with the high mobility group protein HMGA to form a complex and mediates heterochromatin condensation by multivalent interactions. The loss of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) in ADCP1 homologues during evolution has led to the absence of prominent chromocenter in various plant species, and introduction of IDR-containing ADCP1 with HMGA promotes heterochromatin condensation and retrotransposon silencing. Moreover, plants in the Cucurbitaceae group have evolved an IDR-containing chimera of ADCP1 and HMGA, which enables formation of chromocenters remarkably. Together, our work uncovers a coevolved mechanism of phase separation in packing heterochromatin and constraining retrotransposons.

Defective Integrator activity shapes the transcriptome of patients with multiple sclerosis: mouse model

Project description:While the role of the immune system in multiple sclerosis (MS) is widely acknowledged, our comprehension of the transcriptional foundations of this prevalent neurological disorder remains largely incomplete. Here, we conducted high-depth RNA sequencing on monocytes from a cohort of patients with MS to explore rare RNA species associated with the disease. In a subset of the patients, a markedly altered transcriptome was observed, coinciding with a decreased expression of the epigenetic silencer HP1α/CBX5. These patients also exhibited diminished expression of multiple genes encoding subunits of the Integrator complex. Alongside, there were clear indications of decreased Integrator activity, including impaired U snRNA and enhancer-RNA maturation/degradation and dysregulated RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) pause-release. Inactivation of Cbx5 in the mouse recapitulated the defects in Integrator activity and resulted in hypersensitivity to Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE). While these data implied an unexpected function for HP1α in regulating RNAPII pause-release, they also showed that the dysregulation of numerous genes in MS patients could be attributed to either the biased distribution of transcription toward the 5' end of genes or the heightened elongation and stability of enhancer RNAs. An impaired Integrator activity, which has been hinted at by mutations within Integrator subunits previously linked to an increased risk of MS, provides a well-defined mechanistic understanding of the transcriptional anomalies associated with the disease, while introducing new criteria to categorize MS patients.
