Regulation of Gene Expression Dynamics during Developmental Transitions by the Ikaros Transcription Factor

ABSTRACT: The DNA-binding protein, Ikaros, functions as a potent tumor suppressor and hematopoietic regulator. However, the mechanisms by which Ikaros functions in the nucleus remain largely undefined, due in part to its atypical DNA-binding properties and partnership with the poorly understood Mi-2/NuRD complex. In this study, we extended our analysis of thymocyte development and lymphomagenesis in a mouse strain containing a specific deletion of Ikaros zinc finger 4, which exhibits a select subset of abnormalities observed in Ikaros null mice. By examining thymopoiesis in vivo and in vitro, numerous abnormalities were observed. RNA-sequencing revealed that each developmental stage is characterized by mis-regulation of a limited number of genes, with a strong preference for genes modulated in a stage-specific manner. Strikingly, individual genes and pathways rarely exhibited Ikaros-dependence at all developmental stages. Instead, the most consistent feature of aberrantly expressed genes was a reduced magnitude of expression level change during a developmental transition. These results and others suggest that Ikaros may not be a dedicated and consistent activator or repressor of a defined set of genes. Instead, its primary function may be to support the dynamic range of gene expression changes during developmental transitions via atypical molecular mechanisms that remain undefined.

Genome-wide identification of Ikaros binding sites in pre-B cells

Project description:Ikaros DNA binding proteins are important regulators of haematopoiesis and genetic deletion of Ikaros results in severe developmental disturbances, including delayed thymocyte differentiation and an early and complete block in B cell development. Although Ikaros ChIP-seq data are available for mouse thymocytes and human haematopoietic progenitors, it has not been achieved in B cell progenitors. The goal of this study was to identify Ikaros binding sites in pre-B cells to define Ikaros target genes which could explain the essential role of Ikaros proteins in B cell differentiation. We carried out chromatin immunoprecipitation and high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) with antibodies to the C-terminus of endogenous Ikaros in B3 cells and with anti-haemagglutinin (HA) in B3 cells transduced with epitope-tagged HA-Ikaros.

Genome-wide analysis reveals dual roles for Ikaros in regulation of macrophage chromatin state and inflammatory gene expression [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Macrophage activation by bacterial LPS leads to induction of a complex inflammatory gene program dependent on numerous transcription factor families. Here we describe an unexpected role for the lymphoid lineage-determining factor Ikaros in the macrophage LPS response using comprehensive genomic analysis of Ikaros-dependent transcription, DNA binding, and chromatin accessibility. Ikaros exhibited dual repressor and activator roles in LPS-induced gene expression. Consistent with the described function of Ikaros as transcriptional repressor, Ikzf1-/- cells showed enhanced induction for select responses. In contrast, we observed a dramatic defect in expression of delayed response genes and ChIP-seq analyses support a key role for Ikaros in sustained NF-kB chromatin binding. Furthermore, in the absence of Ikaros, a constitutively open chromatin state was coincident with dysregulation of LPS-induced chromatin dynamics, gene expression, and cytokine responses. Our data suggest a central role for Ikaros in coordinating the complex macrophage transcriptional program in response to pathogen challenge.
