Directional DNA methylation changes and complex intermediate states accompany lineage specificity in the adult hematopoietic compartment

ABSTRACT: DNA methylation has been implicated as an epigenetic component of mechanisms that stabilize cell fate decisions. Here, we have characterized the methylomes of human female hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) and mature cells from the myeloid and lymphoid lineages. Hypomethylated regions (HMRs) associated with lineage-specific genes were often methylated in the opposing lineage. In HSPCs, these sites tended to show intermediate, complex patterns that resolve to uniformity upon differentiation, by increased or decreased methylation. Promoter HMRs shared across diverse cell-types typically display a constitutive core that expands and contracts in a lineage-specific manner to fine-tune the expression of associated genes. Many newly identified intergenic HMRs, both constitutive and lineage-specific, were enriched for factor binding sites with an implied role in genome organization and regulation of gene expression, respectively. Overall, our studies represent an important reference dataset and provide insights into directional changes in DNA methylation as cells adopt terminal fates.

ZNF384 fusion oncoproteins drive lineage aberrancy in acute leukemia

Project description:ZNF384-rearranged fusion oncoproteins (FO) define a subset of lineage ambiguous leukemias, but the mechanistic role of ZNF384 FO in leukemogenesis and lineage ambiguity is poorly understood. Here, using viral expression in mouse and human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) and a Ep300-Zfp384 mouse model we show that ZNF384 FO promote hematopoietic expansion, myeloid lineage skewing, and self-renewal. In mouse HSPCs, concomitant lesions such as NRASG12D, were required for fully penetrant leukemia, whereas expression of ZNF384 FO drove development of B/myeloid leukemia in human HSPCs, with sensitivity of human ZNF384r leukemia to FLT3 inhibition in vivo. Mechanistically, ZNF384 FO occupy a subset of predominantly intragenic/enhancer regions with increased histone 3 lysine acetylation suggesting enhancer function. These data define a paradigm for FO-driven lineage ambiguous leukemia, in which expression in HSPCs results in deregulation of lineage-specific genes and hematopoietic skewing, progressing to full leukemic transformation in the presence of proliferative stress.

Comparative analyses of sperm DNA methylomes among three commercial pig breeds reveal vital hypomethylated regions associated with spermatogenesis and embryonic development

Project description:This study is the first to report a genome-wide comparative DNA methylation map of adult pig sperm in three commercial pig breeds using WGBS technology. Our results showed that DNA methylation was more conserved in the three commercial pig breeds. Moreover, our results indicated that breed-specific HMRs are related to phenotypic changes and economically complex traits for each breed. The conserved HMRs between pig sperm and testis close to or located in the promoter regions of important genes are mainly involved in DNA repair and spermatogenesis.

Expression data from Bone marrow and Fetal liver Lineage-c-Kit+Sca-1+ (LSK) cells

Project description:Loss of polycomb-group gene Ezh2 causes activation of fetal gene signature in adult mouse bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Ezh2 directly represses fetal-specific let-7 target genes, including Lin28, thereby cooperates with let-7 microRNAs in silencing fetal gene signature in BM HSPCs. We purified Lineage-Sca-1+c-Kit+ (LSK) HSPCs from E14.5 FL and adult BM and subjected them to microarray analysis.

Hematopoiesis at single cell resolution spanning human development and maturation

Project description:Hematopoiesis is a process of constitutive regeneration whereby hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) constantly replenish mature blood cells. During maturation and aging, HSPCs alter their output to support the shifting demands of prenatal development and postnatal maturation both at homeostasis and in response to stress. How HSPC ontogeny changes throughout life is unknown; studies to date have largely focused on analysis of specific individual ages, particularly those done at single cell resolution. Here, we performed single cell RNA-seq of human HSPCs from early prenatal development into mature adulthood, demonstrating dynamic remodeling of HSPC transcriptional states and differentiation trajectories over time. We identified age-specific gene expression patterns of lineage commitment throughout human life, and developed an approach for identifying, prospectively purifying, and functionally validating age-specific HSPC states. Together, our findings define the temporal evolution of hematopoiesis during human development and maturation, and uncover principles applicable to age-biased blood diseases.

Spop restrains inflammation-induced emergency hematopoiesis by targeting MyD88

Project description:Innate immune cells, and myeloid lineage cells in particular, constitute the first line ofdefense for the containment of invading pathogens. To meet the augmented demand of myeloidcells in response to systemic infections, inflammatory signals trigger a rapid transcriptional response inhematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), promoting their proliferation and preferential differentiation towards the granulocytic lineage

Role of the histone demethylase KDM2B in hematopoietic homeostasis and malignancies [RNA-seq]

Project description:Development of the hematopoietic system is dynamically controlled by the interplay of transcriptional and epigenetic networks to determine cellular identity. Those networks are critical for homeostasis and frequently dysregulated in leukemias. We identified histone demethylase Kdm2b as a critical regulator of definitive hematopoiesis and lineage specification of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). RNA sequencing in murine HSPCs and genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation studies in human leukemias revealed that Kdm2b regulates differentiation, lineage choice, cytokine signaling, and quiescence. Comparison of gene expression in wild-type and knockout HSPCs

Maintenance DNA methylation is essential for regulatory T cell development and stability of suppressive function [DNA methylation/RRBS]

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells require Foxp3 expression and induction of a specific DNA hypomethylation signature during development, after which Treg cells persist as a self-renewing population that regulates immune system activation. Whether maintenance DNA methylation is required for Treg cell lineage development and stability and how methylation patterns are maintained during lineage self-renewal remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that the epigenetic regulator Uhrf1 is essential for maintenance of methyl-DNA marks that stabilize Treg cellular identity by repressing effector T cell transcriptional programs. Constitutive and induced deficiency of Uhrf1 within Foxp3+ cells resulted in global yet non-uniform loss of DNA methylation, derepression of inflammatory transcriptional programs, destabilization of the Treg cell lineage, and spontaneous inflammation. These findings support a paradigm in which maintenance DNA methylation is required in distinct regions of the Treg cell genome for both lineage establishment and stability of identity and suppressive function.
