KMT1E Mediated H3K9 Methylation Is Required for the Maintenance of Embryonic Stem Cells by Repressing Trophectoderm Differentiation

ABSTRACT: Dynamic regulation of histone methylation by methyltransferases and demethylases plays a central role in regulating the fate of embryonic stem (ES) cells. The histone H3K9 methyltransferase KMT1E, formerly known as ESET or Setdb1, is essential to embryonic development as the ablation of the Setdb1 gene results in peri-implantation lethality and prevents the propagation of ES cells. However, Setdb1- null blastocysts do not display global changes in H3K9 methylation or DNA methylation, arguing against a genome- wide defect. Here we show that conditional deletion of the Setdb1 gene in ES cells results in the upregulation of lineage differentiation markers, especially trophectoderm-specific factors, similar to effects observed upon loss of Oct3/4 expression in ES cells. We demonstrate that KMT1E deficiency in ES cells leads to a decrease in histone H3K9 methylation at and derepression of trophoblast-associated genes such as Cdx2. Furthermore, we find genes that are derepressed upon Setdb1 deletion to overlap with known targets of polycomb mediated repression, suggesting that KMT1E mediated H3K9 methylation acts in concert with polycomb controlled H3K27 methylation. Our studies thus demonstrate an essential role for KMT1E in the control of developmentally regulated gene expression programs in ES cells.

Essential roles of the histone methyltransferase ESET in the epigenetic control of neural progenitor cells during development

Project description:In the developing brain, neural progenitor cells (NPCs) switch the differentiation competency via changing gene expression profiles that are governed partly by epigenetic control such as histone modification, although the precise mechanism is unknown. Here we found that ESET/Setdb1/KMT1E, a histone H3 Lys-9 (H3K9) methyltransferase, was highly expressed at early stages of brain development but down-regulated over time, and that ablation of ESET led to decreased H3K9 trimethylation and misregulation of genes, resulting in severe brain defects and early lethality. In the mutant brain, endogenous retrotransposons were derepressed, and non-neural gene expression was activated. Furthermore, early neurogenesis was most severely impaired, while astrocyte formation was enhanced. We conclude that there is an epigenetic role of ESET in temporal and tissue-specific gene regulation in the developing brain. We used microarrays to identify genes up- or down- regulated when ESET is ablated in the dorsal telencephalon. We used 3 WT and 3 cKO male E14.5 embryo for each analysis

SetDB1 Contributes to Repression of Genes Encoding Developmental Regulators and Maintenance of ES Cell State

Project description:Transcription factors that play key roles in regulating embryonic stem (ES) cell state have been identified, but the chromatin regulators that help maintain ES cells are less well understood. A high-throughput shRNA screen was used to identify novel chromatin regulators that influence ES cell state. Loss of histone H3K9 methyltransferases, particularly SetDB1, had the most profound effects on ES cells. ChIP-Seq and functional analysis revealed that SetDB1 and histone H3K9 methylated nucleosomes occupy and repress genes encoding developmental regulators. These SetDB1-occupied genes are a subset of the M-bM-^@M-^\bivalentM-bM-^@M-^] genes, which contain nucleosomes with H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications catalyzed by trithorax and polycomb group proteins, respectively. These genes are subjected to repression by both polycomb group proteins and SetDB1, and loss of either regulator can destabilize ES cell state. ChIP-seq data for SetDB1 and H3K9me3 in mouse ES cells.

ChIP-Seq and functional analysis revealed that SetDB1 and histone H3K9 methylated nucleosomes occupy and repress genes encoding developmental regulators. These SetDB1-occupied genes are a subset of the “bivalent” genes, which contain nucleosomes with H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 modifications catalyzed by trithorax and polycomb group proteins, respectively. These genes are subjected to repression by both polycomb group proteins and SetDB1, and loss of either regulator can destabilize ES cell state.

Global gene-expression analyses of the Eset knock-down ES cells

Project description:The histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9) methyltransferase Eset is an epigenetic regulator critical for the development of the inner cell mass (ICM). Although ICM-derived embryonic stem (ES) cells are normally unable to contribute to the trophectoderm (TE) in blastocysts, we find that depletion of Eset by shRNAs leads to differentiation with the formation of trophoblast-like cells and induction of trophoblast-associated gene expression. Using ChIP-seq analyses, we identified Eset target genes with Eset-dependent H3K9 trimethylation. We confirmed that genes that are preferentially expressed in the TE (Tcfap2a and Cdx2) are bound and repressed by Eset. Single cell PCR analysis shows that the expression of Cdx2 and Tcfap2a is also induced in Eset-depleted morula cells. Importantly, Eset-depleted cells can incorporate into the TE of a blastocyst and subsequently placental tissues. Co-immunoprecipitation and ChIP assays further demonstrates that Eset interacts with Oct4, which in turn recruits Eset to silence these trophoblast-associated genes. Our result suggests that Eset restricts the extraembryonic trophoblast lineage potential of pluripotent cells and links an epigenetic regulator to key cell fate decision through a pluripotency factor. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression of control shRNA knock-down ES cells and Eset shRNA knock-down ES cells

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in wild-type and SetDB1 induced knockout mESCs

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in mammalian cells and characterized genome-wide SetDB1 binding and H3K9 trimethylation (H3K9me3) profiles in mouse ES cells and uncovered two distinct classes of SetDB1 binding sites, termed solo and ensemble peaks. The solo peaks were devoid of H3K9me3 and enriched near developmental regulators while the ensemble peaks were associated with H3K9me3. A subset of the SetDB1 solo peaks, particularly those near neural development related genes, was found to be associated with Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) as well as PRC2-interacting proteins Jarid2 and Mtf2. Genetic deletion of Setdb1 dramatically reduced Ezh2 binding as well as histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) trimethylation level at SetDB1 solo peaks and facilitated neural differentiation. Furthermore, we found that H3K27me3 inhibits SetDB1 methyltransferase activity in vitro. The currently identified reciprocal action between SetDB1 and PRC2 reveals a novel mechanism underlying ES cell pluripotency and differentiation regulation. Examination of 2 different histone modifications in 2 cell status.
