BCL11A is required for normal erythropoiesis [CUT&Run]

ABSTRACT: Genetic depletion of the transcriptional repressor BCL11A in red blood cell precursors alleviates b-hemoglobinopathies by inducing the fetal g-globin genes. However, several additional erythroid genes are regulated by BCL11A and the effects of its deficiency on erythropoiesis are insufficiently described. We discovered that Cas9 disruption of the BCL11A intron 2 erythroid enhancer in CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) according to a clinically approved strategy caused impaired expansion and increased apoptosis of erythroid precursors in vitro and in vivo. Mutant colony-forming unit erythroid (CFU-e), proerythroblasts, and basophilic erythroblasts exhibited dysregulation of 94 genes (> 2-fold change, FDR < 0.05). 25 of which are likely direct targets of BCL11A. Differentially expressed genes were associated with numerous biological pathways that impact cell expansion and survival. Our findings show that BCL11A regulates additional aspects of erythropoiesis beyond g-globin gene repression.

Epigenetic inactivation of ERF reactivates γ-globin expression in β-thalassemia [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is regulated in a developmental stage-specific manner and reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has therapeutic potential for β-hemoglobinopathies. Although BCL11A and ZBTB7A interact with their coregulators, reportedly mediating most γ-globin transcriptional silencing in erythroid in trans, and in cis, the molecular mechanism underlying the epigenetic dysregulation of the switch remains largely unclear. Here we showed that epigenetic inactivation of an ETS2 repressor factor (ERF) reactivates γ-globin expression during stress erythropoiesis, and ERF depletion elevates γ-globin in erythroid cells and in erythroid progenies from the edited HSPCs engrafted into immunodeficient mice. ERF represses γ-globin by directly binding to two motifs regulating HBG expression, independently of the major HbF repressors BCL11A and ZBTB7A. We further uncovered that an lncRNA, RP11-196G18.23 mediates ERF promoter hypermethylation resulting in reactivation of g-globin. Herein, the epigenetic alterations were identified as novel modulators ameliorating the severity of b-thalassemia, thus providing novel therapeutic targets for β-hemoglobinopathies.

Temporal resolution of gene derepression and proteome changes upon PROTAC-mediated degradation of BCL11A protein in erythroid cells

Project description:Reactivation of fetal hemoglobin expression by down-regulation of BCL11A is a promising treatment of -hemoglobinopathies. A detailed understanding of BCL11A-mediated repression of -globin gene (HBG1/2) transcription is lacking, as studies to date used perturbations by shRNA or CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing. We leveraged the dTAG PROTAC platform to acutely deplete BCL11A protein in erythroid cells and examined consequences by PRO-seq, proteomics, chromatin accessibility, and histone profiling. Among ≤ 31 genes repressed by BCL11A, HBG1/2 and HBZ show the most abundant and progressive changes in transcription and chromatin accessibility upon BCL11A loss. Transcriptional changes at HBG1/2 were detected in < 2h. Robust HBG1/2 reactivation upon acute BCL11A-depletion occurred without loss of promoter 5methylcytosine (5mC). Using targeted protein degradation, we establish a hierarchy of gene reactivation at BCL11A targets, in which nascent transcription is followed by increased chromatin accessibility, and both are uncoupled from promoter DNA methylation at the HBG1/2 loci.

The LRF/ZBTB7A transcription factor is a BCL11A-independent repressor of fetal hemoglobin

Project description:Hemoglobinopathies, including sickle cell disease and _-thalassemia, are global public health concerns. Induction of fetal-type hemoglobin (HbF) is a promising means to treat these disorders; however, precisely how HbF expression is silenced in adult erythroid cells is not fully understood. Here, we show that the LRF/ZBTB7A transcription factor is a potent repressor of HbF production. LRF inactivation derepresses embryonic/fetal _-globin expression in mouse and human adult erythroid cells. We employed genome-wide analysis of the transcriptome, chromatin accessibility and LRF occupancy sites, and demonstrate that LRF occupies the _-globin loci and maintains nucleosome density necessary for _-globin silencing. LRF confers its repressive activity through a unique NuRD repressor complex independent of BCL11A. Strikingly, human erythroid lines lacking both LRF and BCL11A exhibited almost a complete switch in expression from adult- to fetal-type globin, suggesting that these two factors cumulatively represent the near entirety of _-globin repressive activity in adult erythroid cells. RNA-seq, LRF ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq assays were used to investigtae LRF binding, effect of LRF depletion on transcription and chromatin landscape in mouse and human cells.

The glucocorticoid receptor elicited proliferative response in human erythropoiesis is BCL11A-dependent, microdeletion patients.

Project description:Prior evidence indicates that the erythroid cellular response to glucocorticoids (GC) has developmental specificity, namely, that developmentally more advanced cells that are undergoing or have undergone fetal to adult globin switching are more responsive to GC-induced expansion. To investigate the molecular underpinnings of this, we focused on the major developmental globin regulator BCL11A. We compared: a) levels of expression and nuclear content of BCL11A in adult erythroid cells upon GC stimulation; b) response to GC of CD34+ cells from patients with BCL11A microdeletions and reduced BCL11A expression, and; c) response to GC of two cellular models (HUDEP-2 and adult CD34+ cells) before and after reduction of BCL11A expression by shRNA. We observed that: a) GC-expanded erythroid cells from a large cohort of blood donors displayed amplified expression and nuclear accumulation of BCL11A; b) CD34+ cells from BCL11A microdeletion patients generated fewer erythroid cells when cultured with GC compared to their parents, while the erythroid expansion of the patients was similar to that of their parents in cultures without GC, and; c) adult CD34+ cells and HUDEP-2 cells with shRNA-depleted expression of BCL11A exhibit reduced expansion in response to GC. In addition, RNA-seq profiling of shRNA-BCL11A CD34+ cells cultured with and without GC was similar (very few differentially expressed genes), while GC-specific responses (differential expression of GILZ and of numerous additional genes) were observed only in controls cells with unperturbed BCL11A expression. These data indicate that BCL11A is an important participant of certain aspects of the stress pathway sustained by GC.
