Project description:The establishment of proper epigenomic landscape is essential during B lymphocyte development in order to acquire a correct B cell identity at each cellular differentiation stage. We previously identified HDAC7 as a critical regulator of early B cell development. Its absence indeed led to the aberrant activation of inappropriate lineage genes, a reduction of proliferation and an increase in cell apoptosis. More recently, we have demonstrated that HDAC7 loss in infant pro-B-ALL associates with poor prognosis. Here we shed light into the HDAC7-mediated molecular mechanisms during early B cell development. HDAC7 deficiency drives not only the expression of inappropriate lineage genes, but also global chromatin de-condensation and deregulation of epigenetic regulators of DNA methylation and potential damaging elements. Specifically, HDAC7 absence induces the expression of TET2, which promotes DNA 5-hydroxymethylation and aberrant gene activation. HDAC7 deficiency also results in the uncontrolled expression of microRNAs and non-coding elements such as LINE-1 transposable elements. These findings are relevant for the mechanistic explanation of why HDAC7 is affected in multiple B-related hematological malignancies.

Project description:B lymphopoiesis is the result of several cell lineage choices and differentiation steps whose perturbation leads to B cell malignancies. Cellular transitions for B cell generation have been associated with gene activation and silencing by networks of B cell specific transcription factors (TFs) and dynamic changes in DNA methylation. How gene repression is established and which lineage-specific transcriptional repressors are involved during B cell lymphopoiesis are still not totally understood. Here, by using our in vivo experimental approach, we have found that HDAC7 represses Tet2 enzyme in pro-B cells. In fact, HDAC7 deficient pro-B cells show a significant increase in the percentage of global 5-hydroxymethylation. To prove the role of HDAC7 in 5-hydroxymethylation, we have performed a genome-wide experimental approach. hMeDIP-sequencing experiments reveal an increase in the enrichment of this epigenetic modification at many loci related to lineage inappropriate genes. Our results corroborate that HDAC7 is an essential transcriptional regulator during early B cell development that silences lineage or functionally inappropriate genes and unveil an unexpected role of a class IIa HDAC in controlling DNA methylation

Project description:B lymphopoiesis is the result of several cell-commitment, lineage-choice, and differentiation processes. Every differentiation step is characterized by the activation of a new, lineage-specific, genetic program and the extinction of the previous one. To date, the central role of specific transcription factors in positively regulating these distinct differentiation processes to acquire a B cell-specific genetic program is well established. However, the existence of specific transcriptional repressors responsible for the silencing of lineage inappropriate genes remains elusive. Here we addressed the molecular mechanism behind repression of non-lymphoid genes in B cells. We report that the histone deacetylase HDAC7 was highly expressed in pre-B cells but dramatically down-regulated during cellular lineage conversion to macrophages. Microarray analysis demonstrated that HDAC7 re-expression interfered with the acquisition of the gene transcriptional program characteristic of macrophages during cell transdifferentiation; the presence of HDAC7 blocked the induction of key genes for macrophage function, such as immune, inflammatory, and defense response, cellular response to infections, positive regulation of cytokines production, and phagocytosis. Moreover, re-introduction of HDAC7 suppressed crucial functions of macrophages, such as the ability to phagocytose bacteria and to respond to endotoxin by expressing major pro-inflammatory cytokines. To gain insight into the molecular mechanisms mediating HDAC7 repression in pre-B cells, we undertook co-immunoprecipitation and chromatin immunoprecipitation experimental approaches. We found that HDAC7 specifically interacted with the transcription factor MEF2C in pre-B cells and was recruited to MEF2 binding sites located at the promoters of genes critical for macrophage function. Thus, in B cells HDAC7 is a transcriptional repressor of undesirable genes. Our findings uncover a novel role for HDAC7 in maintaining the identity of a particular cell type by silencing lineage-inappropriate genes.

Project description:Title of Publication: Histone Deacetylase 7 Regulates Cell Survival and TCR Signaling in CD4/CD8 Double-Positive Thymocytes Abstract of publicaton: CD4/CD8 double-positive (DP) thymocytes express the transcriptional repressor Histone Deacetylase 7 (HDAC7), a class IIa HDAC that is exported from the cell nucleus after T cell receptor (TCR) engagement. Through signal-dependent nuclear export, class IIa HDACs such as HDAC7 mediate signal-dependent changes in gene expression that are important to developmental fate decisions in multiple tissues. We report that HDAC7 is exported from the cell nucleus during positive selection in thymocytes, and regulates genes mediating the coupling between TCR engagement and downstream events that determine cell survival. Thymocytes lacking HDAC7 are inefficiently positively selected due to a severely shortened lifespan and exhibit a truncated repertoire of TCR J segments. The expression of multiple important mediators and modulators of the response to TCR engagement is altered in HDAC7-deficient thymocytes, resulting in increased tonic MAP kinase activity that contributes to the observed loss of viability. Remarkably, the activity of Protein Kinase D, the kinase that mediates nuclear export of HDAC7 in response to TCR signaling, is also increased in HDAC7-deficient thymocytes, suggesting that HDAC7 nuclear export governs a self-sustaining auto-excitatory loop. These experiments add to the understanding of the life/death decision in thymic T cell development, define a novel function for class IIa HDACs, and point to a novel feed-forward mechanism whereby these molecules regulate their own state and mediate stable developmental transitions. Goal of Microarray experiment: We did these experiments to determine how alteration of the function of HDAC7, a site-specific and signal-dependent repressor of transcription, changes gene expression in CD4/CD8 DP thymocytes. Three biological replicate samples were prepared for each non-wild type mouse strain (Samples 7-18). Six biological replicates were prepared for the wild type strain (Samples 1-6). Total RNA was prepared from isolated CD4/CD8 Double-positive thymocytes and labeled with the Affymetrix Whole-Transcript labeling protocol. Labeled probes were hybridized to one Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0ST array each. Data from .cel files were normalized using RMA, in normalization groups representing each of the binary comparisons made. These binary comparisons between sample groups represent gene expression changes due to loss of HDAC7 (samples 1-3 vs. 7-9), transgenic expression of an HDAC7-VP16 fusion protein (samples 4-6 vs. 10-12), positive thymic selection (samples 1-6 vs. samples 11-15), and negative thymic selection (Samples 11-15 vs. samples 16-18).

Project description:B lymphocyte development is a complex process tightly controlled at the transcriptional level by the action of networks of transcription factors. The repression of genes from alternative lineages is necessary to ensure the acquisition of the correct B cell identity. However, the mechanisms of transcriptional repression during B cell generation are largely unknown. Here, using a conditional knockout mouse model, we show that the histone deacetylase HDAC7 is essential for B cell development. Early deletion of HDAC7 dramatically blocked B cell development at the pro-B cell stage and gave rise to a severe lymphopenia in peripheral organs. HDAC7-deficient pro-B cells exhibit cell lineage promiscuity, expressing myeloid and T lymphocyte genes. In wild-type B cells HDAC7 is recruited to myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEFC2) binding sites located at the promoters of macrophage and T lymphocyte genes. Our results demonstrate that HDAC7 is a bona fide transcriptional repressor essential for B cell development.

Project description:Histone deacetylase 7 (HDAC7) is highly expressed in CD4+/CD8+ thymocytes and functions as a signal-dependent repressor of gene transcription during T cell development. In this study, we express HDAC7 mutant proteins in a T cell line and use DNA microarrays to identify transcriptional targets of HDAC7 in T cells. Gene expression changes are compared to differential gene expression profiles associated with positive and negative thymic selection. This analysis reveals that HDAC7 regulates an extensive set of genes that are differentially expressed during both positive and negative thymic selection. Many of these genes play important functional roles in positive and negative selection, primarily via coupling between antigen receptor and downstream signaling events. Keywords: microarray gene expression profiling, comparison of perturbation of HDAC7 gene function with differential expression during thymic selection

Project description:Correct B cell identity at each stage of cellular differentiation during B lymphocyte development is critically dependent on a tightly controlled epigenomic landscape. We previously identified HDAC7 as an essential regulator of early B cell development and its absence leads to a drastic block at the pro-B to pre-B cell transition. More recently, we demonstrated that HDAC7 loss in pro-B-ALL in infants associates with a worse prognosis. Here we delineate the molecular mechanisms by which HDAC7 modulates early B cell development. We find that HDAC7 deficiency drives global chromatin de-condensation, histone marks deposition and deregulates other epigenetic regulators and mobile elements. Specifically, the absence of HDAC7 induces TET2 expression, which promotes DNA 5-hydroxymethylation and chromatin de-condensation. HDAC7 deficiency also results in the aberrant expression of microRNAs and LINE-1 transposable elements. These findings shed light on the mechanisms by which HDAC7 loss or misregulation may lead to B cell–based hematological malignancies.
