Project description:We used human or mouse MLL2-impaired cells (including a human DSET MLL2 cell line,) as well as their parental controls, and measured mutations in histones and a few other genes that were affected in our gH2AX ChIP-Seq experiments. We found that cells lacking or having impaired MLL2 were presenting statistically signifficant, higher levels of mutations at the tested genes as compared to their parental controls. The experiments were performed using human and mouse cells. For the human cells, the parental HCT116 cells were used as control. Two different MLL2 KO clones (KO19 and KO34) and a DSET MLL2 cell line were employed. For the mouse cells, the F/F cells were used, in which both MLL2 alleles are targeted by loxp. Tamoxifen treatment for 24 hours results in the excision of both MLL2 alleles (FC/FC cells). F/F cells were treated with tamoxifen (FC/FC) or vehicle (DMSO, F/F) for 24 hours. Half of the cells were then harvested and used as controls (T0), while the other half were cultured for another 30 days (T30). Mutations after 30 days (T30) of tamoxifen/vehicle treatment were measured compared to the T0 controls. In all cases, two different pools of primers were employed. All histone genes available to target with high coverage were studied, in either human or mouse cells. For the human cells, 32 histone (HIST1H1A HIST1H1B HIST1H1C HIST1H1D HIST1H1E HIST1H1T HIST1H2AC HIST1H2AD HIST1H2AG HIST1H2AH HIST1H2AI HIST1H2AJ HIST1H2AK HIST1H2BF HIST1H2BG HIST1H2BH HIST1H2BI HIST1H2BJ HIST1H2BK HIST1H2BN HIST1H3B HIST1H3C HIST1H3D HIST1H3E HIST1H3F HIST1H3G HIST1H3H HIST1H3I HIST1H4B HIST1H4F HIST1H4J HIST2H2AC) and 6 other genes (BTG2 SGK1 MDM2 CDKN1A EGR1 RPLP0) were targeted. For the mouse cells, 21 histone (HIST1H1A HIST1H1B HIST1H1C HIST1H1D HIST1H1E HIST1H1T HIST1H2AK HIST1H2BQ HIST1H3B HIST1H3C HIST1H3F HIST1H4F HIST1H4J HIST1H4N HIST1H4N HIST2H2AA1 HIST2H2AA1 HIST2H2AA2 HIST2H2AA2 HIST2H2AC HIST2H2BB) and 6 other genes (BTG2 SGK1 MDM2 CDKN1A EGR1 RPLP0) were targeted.

Project description:The interplay between multiple transcription factors precisely regulates eukaryotic transcription. Here, we report that the protein methyltransferases, MLL2 and PRMT1, interact directly and act collectively to regulate gene expression. PRMT1 binds to the N-terminal region of MLL2, considered an intrinsically disordered region, and methylates multiple arginine residues within its RGG/RG motifs. Notably, overexpression of PRMT1 decreased poly-ubiquitylation of MLL2, whereas mutations on methylation sites in MLL2 increased MLL2 poly-ubiquitylation, suggesting that PRMT1-mediated methylation stabilizes MLL2. MLL2 and PRMT1 cooperatively stimulated the expression of a chromosomal reporter gene in a PRMT1-mediated, MLL2-methylation–dependent manner. RNA-seq analysis found that MLL2 and PRMT1 jointly regulate the expression of genes involved in cell membrane and extracellular matrix functions, and depletion of either resulted in impaired cell migration and invasion. Our study provides evidence that PRMT1-mediated MLL2 methylation regulates MLL2 protein stability and the expression of their target genes.

Project description:Somatic mutations of the MLL2 methyltransferase gene represent a common genetic lesion in multiple cancer types. In diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), these mutations are highly recurrent and occur early during tumorigenesis, suggesting a central role in transformation. Here we show that FL/DLBCL-associated MLL2 mutations impair its enzymatic activity and lead to diminished global H3K4 methylation in germinal center (GC) B cells and DLBCL, consistent with the enrichment of MLL2 binding at enhancer and promoter regions marked by mono- and tri-methylation. Conditional deletion of Mll2 early during B cell development, but not after initiation of the GC reaction, leads to an increase in GC B cells, whose transcriptional profile is enriched in cell-cycle regulatory and B-cell receptor signaling genes. Consistently, Mll2-deficient B cells exhibit proliferative advantage ex vivo. Loss of Mll2 combined with BCL2 deregulation, mimicking FL/DLBCL pathogenesis, leads to an increased incidence of clonal lymphoproliferations resembling the features of the human tumors. These findings suggest that early MLL2 loss facilitates lymphomagenesis by remodeling the epigenetic landscape of the cancer precursor cells. Eradication of MLL2-deficient cells may represent a rational therapeutic approach targeting early tumorigenic events. ChIP-seq analysis of MLL2 bound regions and histone methylation (H3K4me3, H3K4me1) in normal human germinal center B cells.

Project description:Somatic mutations of the MLL2 methyltransferase gene represent a common genetic lesion in multiple cancer types. In diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL) (collectively, over 70% of all lymphoma diagnoses), these mutations are highly recurrent and appear early during transformation, possibly in pre-malignant precursors. Here we show that FL- and DLBCL-associated MLL2 mutations impair its enzymatic activity and lead to diminished global H3K4 methylation in normal germinal-center (GC) B cells and DLBCL, consistent with the enrichment of MLL2 binding at enhancer and promoter regions marked by mono- and tri-methylation. Conditional deletion of Mll2 early during B cell development, but not after initiation of the GC reaction, leads to increased percentages and numbers of GC B cells, which feature a distinct transcriptional profile defined by the enrichment of cell-cycle regulatory and B-cell receptor signaling genes. Consistently, Mll2-deficient B cells exhibit proliferative advantage and accumulation in the S phase of the cell cycle, which is influenced by the number of cell divisions. While GC-specific loss of Mll2 was not sufficient to initiate malignant transformation, compound Mll2-deficient/BCL2-transgenic mice displayed an increased incidence of clonal lymphoproliferations resembling the features of human FL and DLBCL. These findings suggest that early MLL2 loss favors BCL2-induced lymphomagenesis by remodeling the epigenetic landscape of the cancer precursor cells. Eradication of MLL2-deficient cells may represent a rational therapeutic approach targeting early tumorigenic events.

Eradication of MLL2-deficient cells may represent a rational therapeutic approach targeting early tumorigenic events. Murine germinal center B cells (B220+CD95+PNA+) were sorted from the spleen of conditional Mll2 knock-out, Mll2 heterozygous and Mll2 wild type mice (crossed with CD19-Cre or Cg1-Cre deletor strains) and sacrificed at day 12 after immunization with sheep red blood cells (SRBC)(n=3 mice per genotype). Total RNA was extracted from single cell suspensions and processed according to the Ovation RNA Amplification System and Encore® Biotin Module protocols (both from NuGEN). Samples were analyzed on Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays.

Project description:In this study, we constructed a tumor model of impaired inheritance of parental histones by introducing an MCM2 histone-binding domain (HBD) mutation in the breast cancer cell lines MCF-7. In this model, impaired histone inheritance resulted in dramatic epigenetic reprogramming, especially the pattern of the repressive histone mark H3K27me3, and promoted tumor growth and metastasis in vivo.

Project description:Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome described in 19811,2. In 2010, exome sequencing identified MLL2 mutations in patients with KS3. Since then, 5 studies identified a mutation in MLL2 in 56-75,6% of KS patients3-7. Here, we describe 2 KS and 1 KS-like patient with a de novo partial or complete deletion of UTX, a histone demethylase interacting with MLL2 in gene regulation. UTX locates on the X chromosome and we showed that the X chromosome with the deleted copy of UTX is preferentially inactivated despite the fact that UTX escapes X-inactivation. This study unveiled deletion of UTX as a second cause of KS and highlights the growing role of histone methylase/demethylase in MCA/MR syndrome.
