Role of DNA Topoisomerase IIbeta in Gene Expression

ABSTRACT: Mice lacking topoisomerase IIβ (Top IIβ) are known to exhibit a perinatal death phenotype. In the current study, transcription profiles of the brains of wild type and top2β knockout mouse embryos were generated. Surprisingly, only a small number (1-4%) of genes were affected in top2β knockout embryos. However, the expression of nearly 30% of developmentally regulated genes was either up- or down-regulated. By contrast, the expression of genes encoding general cell growth functions and early differentiation markers was not affected, suggesting that TopIIβ is not required for early differentiation programming, but is specifically required for the expression of developmentally regulated genes at later stages of differentiation. Consistent with this notion, immunohistochemical analysis of brain sections showed that TopIIβ and HDAC2, a known TopIIβ-interacting protein, were preferentially expressed in neurons which are in their later stages of differentiation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of the developing brains revealed TopIIβ binding to the 5’ region of a number of TopIIβ-sensitive genes. Further studies of a TopIIβ-sensitive gene, Kcnd2, revealed the presence of TopIIβ in the transcription unit with major binding near the promoter region. Together, these results support a role of TopIIβ in activation/repression of developmentally regulated genes at late stages of neuronal differentiation. Keywords: Gene expression in genetically modified mouse strain, top2b-/-.

MeCP2 Represses the Activity of Topoisomerase IIβ in Long Neuronal Genes

Project description:A unique signature of neuronal transcriptomes is the high expression of the longest genes in the genome (e.g. >100 kilobases). These genes encode proteins with essential functions in neuronal physiology, and disruption of long gene expression has been implicated in neurological disorders. DNA topoisomerases resolve topological constraints that arise on DNA and facilitate the expression of long genes in neurons. Conversely, methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2), which is disrupted in Rett syndrome, can act as a transcriptional repressor to downregulate the expression of long genes. The molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of long genes by these factors are not fully understood, however, and whether or not they directly influence each other is not known. Here, we identify a functional interaction between MeCP2 and Topoisomerase II-beta (TOP2β) in neurons. We show that MeCP2 and TOP2β physically interact in vivo and map protein sequences sufficient for their physical interaction in vitro. We profile TOP2β activity genome-wide in neurons and detect enrichment at regulatory regions and gene bodies of long neuronal genes, including long genes regulated by MeCP2. Further, we find that knockdown and overexpression of MeCP2 leads to altered TOP2β activity at MeCP2-regulated genes. Our findings uncover a mechanism by which MeCP2 inhibits the activity of TOP2β at long genes in neurons and suggest that this mechanism is disrupted in neurodevelopment disorders caused by mutation of MeCP2.

C. elegans embryos: control vs. mes-2 mutant

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of early C. elegans embryos comparing control (N2) embryos with mes-2 mutant embryos at different developmental stages: 2E (24-40 cells), 4E (50-90 cells) and 8E stage (100-200 cells). Goal was to determine the effects of mes-2 loss on global gene expression as embryos transit from a developmentally plastic state (2E stage) to the onset of differentiation (8E stage). Our microarray data showed that early-expressed genes remain active, differentiation genes fail to reach wild-type levels in mes-2 mutant embryos at the 8E stage.

Transcriptomic analysis of mouse preimplantation embryo development and nutrient provision

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to define transcriptome (RNA-seq) of mouse preimplantation embryos at different stages of development under a range of different environmental conditions. Methods: Mouse preimplantation embro transcriptional profiles were generated using embryos at several different developmental stages using Smart-seq2. Results: RNA-seq analysis finds that there is a highly dynamic pattern of gene expression during the preimplantation period. The sensitiivty to nutrient conditions varies markedly at different stages of development, with 2C embryos more sensitive to pyruvate omission than later stage embryos. Conclusions: Our study represents a comprehensive analysis of the mouse preimplantation development transcriptome, and how pyruvate provision impacts different developmental stages.

Gene regulation and priming by Topoisomerase IIα in embryonic stem cells [ChIP-chip]

Project description:Topoisomerases are essential for resolving topological problems in the genome, while their function in gene regulation, especially during cellular differentiation, remains elusive/unknown. We reveal that the expression of two Topo II isoforms, Top2α and Top2β, is characteristic of dividing and postmitotic tissues, respectively. In embryonic stem cells, Top2α preferentially binds to promoters embedded in an active chromatin environment. Inhibition of Top2α activity results in misregulation of target gene expression that accompanies accumulation of double-strand breaks. Common targets of Top2α and Top2β are housekeeping genes while their unique targets are involved in proliferation/pluripotency and neurogenesis (Can we say this as this might be because we are driving neurons from ES cells), respectively. Moreover, a small subset of Top2α targets exhibit bivalent chromatin state that is resolved upon differentiation concomitant with their activation and occupancy by Top2β, a feature further observed for large lengthlong genes. These findings suggest that Top2α not only contributes to stem cell transcriptome regulation but may also prime developmental genes for subsequent activation by Top2β.

Gastrulation-stage gene expression in Nipbl+/- mouse embryos foreshadows the development of syndromic birth defects

Project description:In animal models, Nipbl-deficiency phenocopies gene expression changes and birth defects seen in Cornelia de Lange Syndrome (CdLS), the most common cause of which is Nipbl-haploinsufficiency. Previous studies in Nipbl+/- mice identified aberrant gene expression and heart defects as early as cardiac crescent (CC) stage. Here, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on wildtype (WT) and Nipbl+/- mouse embryos at CC- and earlier (gastrulation) stages. Nipbl+/- embryos had fewer mesoderm cells than WT and altered proportions of mesodermal cell subpopulations. These findings were associated with an underexpression of genes implicated in driving specific mesodermal lineages. Nipbl+/- embryos also misexpressed developmentally-critical genes, including the transcription factor, Nanog, and genes governing left-right and anterior-posterior patterning. These events of cell misallocation and transcriptional dysregulation foreshadowed defects in tissue composition and patterning that arise later in Nipbl+/- mice, offering insights into early developmental contributions to birth defects in CdLS.

Quantitative proteomics reveals the dynamic proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during maternal-to-zygotic transition and its relationship to zygotic genome activation

Project description:Upon fertilization, the embryonic genome remains transcriptionally inactive until the mid-blastula transition. Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) of vertebrate embryos has been extensively studied using nucleic acid-based strategies, but proteomics data are still scarce, impeding the full mechanistic understanding of how ZGA is executed during the maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT). Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to decipher the proteome landscape of zebrafish embryos during the MZT, quantifying nearly 5,000 proteins across four embryonic stages. The stage-specific clustering based on protein expression pattern revealed that helicases (i.e., eif4a2 and ruvbl1) facilitate pluripotency factors (i.e., nanog, pou5f3, ctcf, and hmga1) triggering ZGA in zebrafish, accompanied by the maternal product decay with P-bodies and ubiquitin dependent proteolytic pathway. Dozens of transcription factors show wave-like expression patterns during MZT, implying their diverse functions in triggering the ZGA and modulating differentiation for organ development. The combination of morpholino knockdown and quantitative proteomics demonstrated that maternal Nanog is required for proper embryogenesis by regulating 1) interactions with other pluripotency factors, 2) F-actin band formation, 3) cell cycle checkpoints and 4) maternal product degradation. This study represents the most systematic proteomics survey of developmentally regulated proteins and their expression profiles accompanying MZT in zebrafish, which is a valuable proteome resource for understanding ZGA.
