TR4 and BCL11A Repress gamma-globin Transcription via Independent Mechanisms

ABSTRACT: Nuclear receptor TR4 was previously shown to bind to the -117 position of the gamma-globin gene promoters in vitro, which overlaps with the BCL11A binding site recently described. The role of TR4 in human gamma-globin gene repression has not been extensively characterized in vivo, and the relationship between TR4 and BCL11A binding to the gamma-globin promoters remained elusive. We showed in vitro that TR4 and BCL11A competitively bind to overlapping but distinct consensus sequences which both include the -117 position of the gamma-globin promoter. We show here that TR4 represses gamma-globin transcription and HbF accumulation in a BCL11A-independent manner. We characterized the chromatin occupancy of TR4 within the beta-globin locus in comparison to BCL11A and found that both bind to the hypersensitive sites avidly but only BCL11A binds to the gamma-globin promoters at significant levels, suggesting that BCL11A is the predominant repressor acting through the -117 gamma-globin promoter sequence in vivo. These data resolve an important discrepancy in the literature, and thus helps to clarify possible approaches to treatments for sickle cell disease or beta-thalassaemia.

Transcriptome of erythroid cells derived from human CD34+ cells edited at the BCL11A erythroid enahncer or at the HBG1 and HBG2 promoters using CRISPR-Cas9

Project description:BCL11A represses gamma globin expression by binding to the gamma globin gene (HBG1 and HBG2) promoters. Genome editing of the BCL11A erythroid enhancer in the intron 2 of BCL11A gene or the BCL11A binding site at the HBG1/2 promoters disrupts this pathway and leads to gamma globin induction. Transcriptomic profiling of erythroid cells derived from human CD34+ cells edited at either target site using CRISPR-Cas9 revealed broader transcriptome perturbation when edited at the BCL11A erythroid enhancer.

Transcription factor competition at the γ-globin promoters controls hemoglobin switching [CRISPR Screen]

Project description:BCL11A, the major regulator of HbF(α2γ2) level, represses γ-globin expression through direct promoter binding in adult erythroid cells in a switch to adult adult-type HbA (α2β2) production. Yet, the mechanism remains unclear. To uncover how BCL11A initiates repression, we used CRISPR/Cas9 and dCas9 screens to dissect the γ-globin promoters and identified an apparent activator element near the BCL11A binding region. Using CUT&RUN and base editing approaches, we demonstrate that this element, the proximal CCAAT box, is the binding site of transcription activator NF-Y. BCL11A competes with NF-Y binding through steric hindrance to initiate γ-globin repression, and the distance between the two motifs is critical for direct competition. Occupancy of NF-Y is rapidly established upon BCL11A depletion, and precedes γ-globin derepression and LCR-globin loop formation. Our findings reveal that the critical fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is initiated by the competition between transcription factors within a discrete region in the γ-globin promoters.

Direct Promoter Repression by BCL11A Controls the Fetal to Adult Hemoglobin Switch

Project description:Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level is genetically controlled and modifies severity of adult hemoglobin (HbA) disorders. Common genetic variation affects expression of BCL11A, a critical regulator of HbF silencing. Current models suggest that BCL11A acts at a distance from the gamma-globin genes via long-distance chromosomal interactions. Here we use a functional cellular assay and protein-binding microarray to establish a requirement for a zinc-finger cluster of BCL11A for globin repression, and identify a preferred DNA recognition sequence (TGACCA). The motif is present in embryonic and fetal-expressed globin promoters, and duplicated in gamma-globin promoters, yet only the distal motif is mutated in alleles of individuals with hereditary persistence of hemoglobin. Using CUT&RUN to map protein binding sites, we detected BCL11A occupancy preferentially at the distal motif, and validated its absence in HbF-expressing, promoter-edited erythroid cells. Taken together, our findings reveal that direct gamma-globin gene promoter repression by BCL11A underlies hemoglobin switching.

Expression data from BCL11A-null and wild-type bone marrow erythroid pregenitors

Project description:BCL11A is a critical mediator of hemoglobin switching and gamma-globin silencing. In this study, we showed the BCL11A is required in vivo for developmental silencing of gamma-globin genes in adult animals. We used microarray to determine the changes in gene expression profile after loss of BCL11A in adult erythroid cells CD71+Ter119+ erythroid progenitor cells were FACS-sorted from bone marrows of 6-week old control (Bcl11a +/+) and BCL11A knockout (Bcl11a fl/fl EpoR-Cre+) mice.
