Targeted proteolysis of the histone H3 tail facilitates epigenetic reprogramming during differentiation

ABSTRACT: Though limited proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT) is frequently observed during mammalian differentiation, however the specific genomic sites targeted for H3NT proteolysis and their functional significance of H3NT cleavage remain unknown.We used genome wide Chip-seq (ChIPac-Seq) approaches to an established cell model of osteoclast differentiation. We discovered that H3NT proteolysis is selectively targeted near transcription start sites of a small group of genes and that most of these H3NT-cleaved genes are epigenetically regulated during osteoclastogenesis.We also discovered that the principal H3NT protease of osteoclastogenesis is matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9).Abrogation of H3NT proteolysis impaired osteoclastogenic gene activation concomitant with defective osteoclast differentiation. In summary our results support the necessity of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis in the epigenetic reprogramming of gene pathways required for proficient osteoclastogenesis.

We next studied genomewide mRNA expression in MMP9 knockout cells and its effect in the epigenetic reprogramming of gene pathways required for proficient osteoclastogenesis.

MMP-9-dependent proteolysis of the histone H3 N-terminal tail, a critical epigenetic step in driving oncogenic transcription and colon tumorigenesis

Project description:The matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is a member of the MMP family and has been recently identified as a nuclear protease capable of clipping histone H3 N-terminal tails (H3NT). This MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis is critical for establishing active state of gene transcription during osteoclast differentiation and melanoma development. However, whether H3NT cleavage by MMP-9 plays a similar role in other cellular events has not been explored. Here we dissect the functional contribution of MMP-9-dependent H3NT clipping to colonic tumorigenesis by using a combination of genome-wide transcriptome data, ChIP/ChIPac-qPCR, CRISPR/dCas9 gene-targeting system, and in vivo xenograft models. We show that MMP-9 is overexpressed in colon cancer cells and catalyzes H3NT proteolysis to drive transcriptional activation of growth stimulatory genes. Our studies using knockdown and inhibition approaches clearly indicate that MMP-9 mediates transcriptional activation and promote colonic tumorigenesis in a manner dependent on its protease activity toward H3NT. Remarkably, artificial H3NT proteolysis at target gene promoters with dCAS9-MMP-9 is sufficient for establishing their transcriptional competence in colon cancer cells, underscoring the importance of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis per se in transactivation process. Our data establish new functions and mechanisms for MMP-9 in driving oncogenic transcription program in colon cancer through H3NT proteolysis and demonstrate how this epigenetic pathway can be exploited as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

MMP-9 drives melanomagenic transcription program through histone H3 tail proteolysis

Project description:Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that develops in pigment-producing melanocytes and often spreads to other parts of the body. Aberrant gene expression has been considered as a crucial step for increasing the risk of melanomagenesis, but how chromatin reorganization contributes to this pathogenic process is still not well understood. Here we report that matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) localizes to the nucleus of melanoma cells and potentiates gene expression by proteolytically clipping histone H3 N-terminal tail (H3NT). From genome-wide studies, we discovered that growth regulatory genes are selectively targeted and activated by MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis in melanoma cells. MMP-9 cooperates functionally with p300/CBP, because MMP-9 cleaves H3NT in a manner that is dependent on p300/CBP-mediated acetylation of H3K18. The functional significance of MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis is further underscored by the fact that RNAi knockdown and small-molecule inhibition of MMP-9 and p300/CBP impede melanomagenic gene expression and melanoma tumor growth. Together, our data establish new functions and mechanisms for nuclear MMP-9 in promoting melanomagenesis and demonstrate how MMP-9-dependent H3NT proteolysis can be exploited to prevent and treat melanoma skin cancer.

M-CSF priming of osteoclast precursors can cause osteoclastogenesis-insensitivity, which can be prevented and overcome on bone

Project description:Comparison of gene expression of the osteoclast precursor myeloid blast seeded on plastic and on bone, primed with M-CSF for 4 days and culture with M-CSF and RANKL for 1 day. Osteoclasts and macrophages share progenitors that must receive decisive lineage signals driving them into their respective differentiation routes. Macrophage colony stimulation factor M-CSF is a common factor; bone is likely the stimulus for osteoclast differentiation. To elucidate the effect of both, shared mouse bone marrow precursor myeloid blast was pre-cultured with M-CSF on plastic and on bone. M-CSF priming prior to stimulation with M-CSF and osteoclast differentiation factor RANKL resulted in a complete loss of osteoclastogenic potential without bone. This coincided with a steeply decreased expression of osteoclast genes TRACP and DC-STAMP, but an increased expression of the macrophage markers F4/80 and CD11b. Compellingly, M-CSF priming on bone accelerated the osteoclastogenic potential: M-CSF primed cells that had received only one day M-CSF and RANKL and were grown on bone already expressed an array of genes that are associated with osteoclast differentiation and these cells differentiated into osteoclasts within 2 days. This implies that adhesion to bone dictates the fate of osteoclast precursors. Common macrophage-osteoclast precursors may become insensitive to differentiate into osteoclasts and regain osteoclastogenesis when bound to bone or when in the vicinity of bone. Two conditions: Osteoclast precursors on plastic and on bone, n=4, dye swap

TGFβ reprograms TNF stimulation of macrophages towards osteoclastogenesis [CUT&RUN]

Project description:TNF plays a key role in inflammation and bone resorption. However, the mechanisms regulating TNF-mediated osteoclastogenesis remain largely unclear because its direct osteoclastogenic ability is weak. Here, we found that TGFβ priming enables TNF to effectively induce osteoclastogenesis from macrophages, independently of the osteoclastogenic action of RANKL. Lack of TGFβ signaling in macrophages suppresses inflammatory, but not physiological, osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in vivo. Mechanistically, TGFβ priming reprograms macrophage response to TNF towards osteoclastogenesis by remodeling chromatin accessibility and histone modification. TGFβ and TNF induce an unconventional osteoclastogenic program, which includes the suppression of the TNF-induced IRF1-IFNβ-IFN stimulated gene (ISG) axis, promotion of IRF8 degradation and B-Myb induction. These mechanisms are present in RA, in which TGFβ level is elevated and correlated with osteoclast activity. Our findings identify a function and mechanism of action for TGFβ in TNF-mediated inflammatory osteoclastogenesis, and open avenues for selective treatment of inflammatory bone loss.
