Interplay of TRIM28 and DNA methylation in controlling human endogenous retroelements

ABSTRACT: Reverse transcription-derived sequences account for at least half of the human genome. Although these retroelements are formidable motors of evolution, they can occasionally cause disease, and accordingly are inactivated during early embryogenesis through epigenetic mechanisms. In the mouse, at least for endogenous retroviruses, important mediators of this process are the tetrapod-specific KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) and their cofactor TRIM28. The present study demonstrates that KRAB/TRIM28-mediated regulation is responsible for controlling a very broad range of human-specific endogenous retroelements (EREs) in human embryonic stem (ES) cells and that it exerts, as a consequence, a marked effect on the transcriptional dynamics of these cells. It further reveals reciprocal dependence between TRIM28 recruitment at specific families of EREs and DNA methylation. It finally points to the importance of persistent TRIM28-mediated control of ERE transcriptional impact beyond their presumed inactivation by DNA methylation.

Widespread and tissue-specific expression of endogenous retroelements in human somatic tissues

Project description:Endogenous retroelements (ERE) constitute about 42% of the human genome and have been implicated in common human diseases such as autoimmunity and cancer. Despite evidence that some EREs can be expressed at the RNA and protein levels in specific contexts, a systems-level evaluation of their expression in human tissues is lacking. We report that all human tissues express EREs but the breadth and magnitude of ERE expression are very heterogeneous from one tissue to another. ERE expression was particularly high in two MHC-I-deficient tissues (ESCs and testis) and one MHC-I-expressing tissue, mTECs. In mutant mice, we report that the exceptional expression of EREs in mTECs was AIRE-independent. MS analyses identified 103 non-redundant ERE-derived MAPs (ereMAPs) in B-LCLs. These ereMAPs preferentially derived from sense translation of intronic EREs. Notably, detailed analyses of their amino acid composition revealed that ERE-derived MAPs presented homology to viral MAPs. This study shows that ERE expression in somatic tissues is more pervasive and heterogeneous than anticipated. The high and diversified expression of EREs in mTECs and their ability to generate MAPs suggest that EREs may play an important role in the establishment of self-tolerance. The viral-like properties of ERE-derived MAPs suggest that those not expressed in mTECs can be highly immunogenic.

Transposable elements and their KRAB-ZFP controllers regulate gene expression in adult tissues

Project description:The tetrapod-restricted KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are essential early embryonic controllers of transposable elements (TEs), which they repress via their cofactor KAP1 and associated effectors through histone and DNA methylation, a process thought to result in irreversible silencing. Using a target-centered functional screen, we matched several murine TEs with their cognate KRAB-ZFP. This revealed an unexpected level of granularity in their interactions, with KRAB-ZFPs recognizing TEs from more than one subfamily, TEs recruiting more than one KRAB-ZFP, and spatially and temporally differential KRAB-ZFP-mediated regulation of TEs and nearby genes. Most importantly, we discovered that the KRAB/KAP1 system controls TEs in adult tissues, in cell culture and in vivo, where they partner up to regulate the expression of cellular genes. Therefore, TEs and KRAB-ZFPs establish widely active transcription networks that regulate not only development but probably also many physiological events. Given the high degree of species-specificity of both TEs and KRAB-ZFPs, these results have important implications for studying and understanding the biology of higher vertebrates, including humans.

ChIP-exo and ChIP-seq of human KRAB-ZNFs transduced in HEK 293T cells

Project description:Kruppel-associated box (KRAB)-containing zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs) represent the largest family of transcription factors encoded by higher vertebrates. Together with their heterochromatin-inducing cofactor KAP1, many act as repressors of endogenous retroelements (EREs) during early embryonic genome reprogramming, yet their widespread expression in adult tissues and enrichment at other genetic loci indicate additional roles. By characterizing the protein interactome of 101 of the ~350 human KZFPs, we uncovered that it is highly diversified for a subset of those. Most of placental mammal- or primate-restricted KZFPs, which primarily bind EREs and constitute 90% of human KZFPs, essentially recruit KAP1 and effectors. However, certain KZFPs conserved in placental mammals and more distant clades associated with factors related to functions such as genome architecture or RNA processing. Additionally, members of the most conserved human KZFPs did not appear to interact with KAP1. Nevertheless, KZFPs from coelacanth, our most distant KZFP-encoding relative, bind KAP1 from this species. We thus propose that KZFPs first emerged as ERE-controlling repressors, had their pool continuously renewed by turn-over of their hosts’ ERE loads, thereby yielded largely species-specific sets of transcriptional controllers, yet occasionally produced derivatives that escaped this evolutionary flushing by development of novel functions and exaptation.

LC-MSMS of the MHC-I immunopeptidome of AML cell lines

Project description:The hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) is the first-line induction therapy for AML patients unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy. The anti-tumor effect of AZA results in part from T-cell cytotoxic responses against MHC-I-associated peptides (MAPs) deriving from hypermethylated genomic regions such as cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), or endogenous retroelements (EREs). However, clear evidence supporting higher ERE MAPs presentation after AZA treatment in AML is lacking. Therefore, we examined the immunopeptidome of four AML cell lines treated with AZA through a proteogenomic approach to validate this hypothesis.

LC-MSMS of the MHC-I immunopeptidome of AML cell line, THP-1

Project description:The hypomethylating agent 5-azacytidine (AZA) is the first-line induction therapy for AML patients unsuitable for intensive chemotherapy. The anti-tumor effect of AZA results in part from T-cell cytotoxic responses against MHC-I-associated peptides (MAPs) deriving from hypermethylated genomic regions such as cancer-testis antigens (CTAs), or endogenous retroelements (EREs). However, clear evidence supporting higher ERE MAPs presentation after AZA treatment in AML is lacking. Interestingly, we find that AZA-mediated DNMT2 inhibition leads to autophagy induction, which is responsible for mitigating ERE MAPs generation. To validate our findings, we examined the immunopeptidome of THP-1 cells treated with AZA combined with autophagy inhibitor, Spautin-1 or decitabine (DAC, non-DNMT2 inhibiting HMA) through a proteogenomic approach.

The KRAB-ZFP/TRIM28 system exploits transposons to sharpen lineage-specific and activation-induced transcription in human adult T lymphocytes [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are subjected to early embryonic repression through sequence-specific recruitment of KRAB zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs), their cofactor TRIM28 and associated chromatin modifiers. This prevents transposition and modulates TE-induced changes of gene expression in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). It leads to DNA methylation, a self-perpetuating modification considered as responsible for the permanent silencing of TEs after this period. Challenging this view, we reveal here that the KRAB/TRIM28 system keeps mediating a highly dynamic control of TEs and TE-mediated transcriptional influences in adult human cells. Using CD4+ T lymphocytes as an experimental model, we first observed that in these cells many TEs are still bound by TRIM28, the recruitment of which is dynamically regulated upon T cell receptor stimulation. Second, we determined that this transition reflects marked changes in the expression patterns of TE-binding KRAB-ZFPs. Finally, we could demonstrate that TRIM28 depletion induces broad transcriptional alterations in T cells, with de-repression notably of TE-based enhancers leading to the illegitimate activation of nearby genes and breaches of lineage-specific transcriptional restrictions. These data contribute to demonstrate that TEs and their KRAB-ZFP/TRIM28 control system are important regulators of gene expression in adult human cells.
