Histone chaperone CAF-1 is essential for retrotransposon silencing by mediating histone H4K20me3 deposition in mouse preimplantation embryos

ABSTRACT: Retrotransposons are widely spread in the mammalian genome and are usually silenced during development to avoid transposition-inducing mutations. But how they are repressed in embryos shortly before implantation remain to be identified, since the genome at this stage is globally hypomethylated. Here we show a histone chaperon, CAF-1, is responsible for retrotransposon silencing at the morula-blastocyst stages by depositing histone H4 lysine 20 trimethylation (H4K20me3). Knockdown of CAF-1 with a specific siRNA resulted in derepression of LINE-1, SINE-B2 and IAP associated with the decreased H4K20me3 level, and arrested embryonic development at the morula stage. The identical results were obtained with siRNAs against Suv420h1/2, H4K20 methyltransferases. Treatment with reverse transcriptase inhibitors rescued at least a part of these embryos. Thus, CAF-1 ensures the genomic integrity of preimplantation embryos by establishing repressive histone marks in the multiple retrotransposon classes.

Thus, CAF-1 ensures the genomic integrity of preimplantation embryos by establishing repressive histone marks in the multiple retrotransposon classes. Comparative gene expression analyses using P150 knockdown (P150KD) embryos at morula stage were performed by microarray. P150KD embryos were produced with the injection of P150 siRNA into 1-cell embryos. As controls, siControl embryos were produced by the injection of control siRNA. These embryos were subjected to gene expression microarray.

H4K20me3 co-localizes with activating histone modifications at transcriptionally dynamic regions in embryonic stem cells

Project description:Bivalent chromatin domains consisting of the activating histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3) and repressive histone 3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) histone modifications are enriched at developmental genes that are repressed in embryonic stem cells but active during differentiation. However, it is unknown whether another repressive histone modification, histone 4 lysine 20 trimethylation (H4K20me3), co-localizes with activating histone marks in ES cells. Here, we describe the previously uncharacterized coupling of the repressive H4K20me3 heterochromatin mark with the activating histone modifications H3K4me3 and histone 3 lysine 36 trimethylation (H3K36me3), and transcriptional machinery (RNA polymerase II; RNAPII), in ES cells. These newly described bivalent domains consisting of H3K4me3/H4K20me3 are predominantly located in intergenic regions and near transcriptional start sites of active genes, while H3K36me3/H4K20me3 are located in intergenic regions and within gene body regions of active genes. Global sequential ChIP, also termed reChIP-Seq, confirmed the simultaneous presence of H3K4me3 and H4K20me3 at the same genomic regions in ES cells. Genes containing H3K4me3/H4K20me3 exhibit decreased RNAPII pausing and are poised for deactivation of RNAPII binding during differentiation relative to H3K4me3 marked genes. An evaluation of transcription factor (TF) binding motif enrichment revealed that DNA sequence may play a role in shaping the landscape of these novel bivalent domains. Moreover, H3K4me3/H4K20me3 and H3K36me3/H4K20me3 bound regions are enriched with repetitive LINE and LTR elements.

Epigenome analyses reveal histone H4K20me3 and radiation related genes in NSCLC cell

Project description:Purpose: Radiotherapy is useful for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who cannot be treated surgically. Modification of histone proteins also occurs during radiotherapy, and affects gene expression. In this study, we assessed the effects of radiotherapy on histone H4K20me3 in NSCLC cells. Methods: NCI-H460 NSCLC cell line were subjected to gamma irradiation. To reveal H4K20me3-related genes, we conducted chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP) and ChIP-sequencing. Results: We evaluated the H4K20me3-related genes through ChIP-sequencing.

H4K20me3 methyltransferase SUV420H2 regulates pluripotent embryonic stem cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Heterochromatin, which is a densely packed chromatin state that is transcriptionally silent, is a critical regulator of gene expression. However, it is unclear how the repressive histone modification, H4K20me3, or the histone methyltransferase, SUV420H2, regulate embryonic stem (ES) cell fate by patterning the epigenetic landscape. Here, we observed a near complete genome-wide loss of H4K20me3 in SUV420H2 depleted ES cells, suggesting that SUV420H enzymes are paramount for establishing global H4K20me3 domains. We also found that SUV0420H2-bound regions are enriched with repetitive DNA elements. Together, these findings describe a novel role for SUV420H2 in regulating the chromatin landscape of ES cells.

H4K20me3 methyltransferase SMYD5 controls heterochromatin and chromosome integrity during embryonic stem cell differentiation

Project description:Epigenetic regulation of chromatin states is thought to control gene expression programs during lineage specification. However, the roles of repressive histone modifications such as trimethylated histone lysine 20 (H4K20me3) in development and genome stability are largely unknown. Here, we show that depletion of SMYD5, a H4K20me3 methyltransferase, leads to decreased H4K20me3 and H3K9me3 ChIP-Seq levels, and de-repression of endogenous LTR/LINE elements during differentiation. SMYD5 depletion results in chromosomal aberrations and the formation of transformed cells that exhibit decreased H4K20me3 and H3K9me3 levels and an expression signature consistent with multiple human cancers. Moreover, dysregulated gene expression in SMYD5 cancer cells is associated with LTR/ERV elements and decreased H4K20me3. These findings implicate an important role for SMYD5 in maintaining chromosome integrity by regulating heterochromatin and repressing endogenous repetitive DNA elements during differentiation.

Human myogenesis is driven by proline-directed kinases and the trans-histone code, H3K9me3/H4K20me3

Project description:System-level analysis of the (phospho)proteome during muscle formation and its interplay with epigenetic factors is critical to understand muscular diseases. Using stable isotope labeling (SILAC) and nano liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS), we analyzed the (phospho)proteome during myogenesis of LHCN-M2 human skeletal myoblast cell line. First, enriched phosphorylation motifs suggested that PKC, cyclin-dependent kinase and MAPK are regulatory kinases during myodifferentiation. Then, we uncovered that the drugs known to inhibit these kinases either promoted myogenesis (PD0325901 and GW8510) or stall differentiation (CHIR99021 and roscovitine). We identified differentiation-specific myogenic and chromatin-related proteins, including histone methyltransferases. We then analyzed histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), and observed regulation of two gene-silencing marks, H3K9me3 and H4K20me3, in a correlated manner with the observed phenotypes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) confirmed that H3K9me3 is erased from the myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs) MyoD, MyoG and Myf5 in differentiating myotubes. Together, our work demonstrates that the integration of histone PTM, phosphoproteomics and full proteome analysis gives a comprehensive understanding of the close connection between signaling pathways and epigenetics during differentiation of myotube in vitro.

Genome-wide mapping of H4K20me3 in proliferating and senescent IMR90 cells.

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable proliferation arrest and tumor suppressor mechanism. Abundance of histone modification, H4K20me3, has been reported to increase in senescent cells. Generally, H4K20me3 promotes formation of compacted transcriptionally silent constitutive heterochromatin, but its specific role in senescence is unknown. Here, we show that in senescent cells H4K20me3 is enriched at specific families of gene repeats (ZNFs, Olfactory Receptors, Protocadherins), and DNA sequences contained within senescence-associated heterochromatin (senescence-associated heterochromatin (SAHF)). Furthermore, in senescent cells, but not proliferating cells, H4K20me3 is also markedly enriched at bodies of repressed genes, including proliferation-promoting genes. Ectopic expression of SUV420H2, responsible for deposition of H4K20me3, reinforces senescence-associated proliferation arrest, and slows proliferation of transformed cells and tumorigenesis in vivo. These results indicate a dedicated role for H4K20me3 in control of nuclear organization and gene expression in senescent cells and stable senescence-associated proliferation arrest and tumor suppression.
