ZNF599 and DNMT3A coordinately control nuclear envelope organization by repression of SUN4 expression

ABSTRACT: Human-specific KRAB-ZF proteins are putative transcription factors and correlate with human cognitive and linguistic ability. The typical KRAB-ZF protein ZNF599 has been implicated in developmental delay. However, the underlying molecular mechanism is elusive. Here, we show a specific interaction of ZNF599 with DNMT3A, but not DNMT3B or DNMT1. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we generated a ZNF599-/- cell line that shows an irregular nuclear morphology with blebbings, dents and ridges. Interestingly, the irregular nuclear shape can be rescued by complement expression of wt ZNF599, but not with ZNF599 L178F, a mutant that has been described in patients with mental retardation. With transcriptome analysis by next-generation sequencing, we found several genes misregulated in ZNF599-/- cells, particularly an upregulation of SUN4, also known as SPAG4. Consistently, ectopic expression of GFP-SUN4 in wt cells shows a similar effect on nuclear morphology as observed in ZNF599-/- cells. Besides ZNF599, DNMT3A dependent DNA methylation is also required for repression of Sun4 expression as we observe an upregulation of Sun4 in murine Dnmt3a-/- cells. Thus, we conclude that ZNF599 and DNMT3A coordinately control SUN4 expression to regulate nuclear envelope organization providing a potential insight into the molecular mechanism of development delay pathology.

RNA-seq of ZFP30 knock-down and knock-out in mouse 3T3-L1 and IBA cells during adipogenic differentiation

Project description:We show that a hitherto poorly characterized KRAB domain-containing zinc-finger (ZF) transcription factor, ZFP30, positively regulates adipogenesis. We demonstrate ZFP30’s function in murine in vitro and in vivo models, as well as in human stromal vascular fraction cells. We reveal through mechanistic studies that ZFP30 directly targets and activates Pparg2 by binding a retrotransposon-derived enhancer, suggesting a process of adipogenic exaptation. We further show that ZFP30 recruits the co-regulator KRAB-associated protein 1 (KAP1), which, surprisingly, acts as a ZFP30 co-activator in this adipogenic context. We show that a hitherto poorly characterized KRAB domain-containing zinc-finger (ZF) transcription factor, ZFP30, positively regulates adipogenesis. We demonstrate ZFP30’s function in murine in vitro and in vivo models, as well as in human stromal vascular fraction cells. To globally characterize ZFP30’s target landscape, we performed transcriptomic analyses after Zfp30 reduction or absence, in 3T3-L1 and in IBA cells, respectively. As we already observed significant (p<0.01, t-test) reduction in adipogenic marker gene expression in Zfp30 KD samples after two days of adipogenic induction, we included day 0 and day 2 measurements in both 3T3-L1 and IBA cells, and two additional time-points (2 hours and day 4) in IBA cells.

PML2‐mediated thread‐like nuclear bodies mark late senescence in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Regular nuclear structure is critical for genome maintenance and proper gene expression, disorder of which has a causal role in aging. Accumulation of Progerin in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) disrupts the integrity of nuclear lamina and causes nuclear structure abnormalities, leading to premature aging. However, the nuclear structure/function relationships in HGPS cells have not been well addressed, and roles of nuclear sub-compartments for HGPS pathogenesis are rarely reported. Here, evidence reveals that classical dot-like PML nuclear bodies (PML NBs) are reorganized into thread-like morphology in HGPS cells, and these irregular NBs are strongly associated with cell senescence. We demonstrate that farnesylated Progerin interacts with PML isoform 2 specifically, which accounts for the formation of thread-like PML NBs. Moreover, our findings uncover that irregular PML NBs perturb NBs-associated DNA repair and gene transcription, thereby promoting HGPS cell senescence. Thus, our work helps to clarify the roles of nuclear structure and sub-compartments such as PML NBs in cell aging, and evidence presented in this study strongly support that thread-like PML NBs could be a novel biomarker of human cell senescence.

miR-29a/b1 regulates the pituitary gland luteinizing hormone secretion and affects mouse ovulation

Project description:miR-29a/b1 was reported to be involved in the regulation of reproductive function in female mice, but the underlying molecular mechanisms were not clear. In this study, female mice lacking miR-29a/b1 showed a delay in vaginal opening, irregular estrus cycles, ovulation disorder and infertility. However, the development of egg was normal in mutant mice and the ovulation disorder could be rescued by the superovulation treatment. The plasma level of luteinizing hormone (LH) was significantly lower in the mutant mice. Using iTRAQ coupled with LC-MS/MS, we found that the deficiency of miR-29a/b1 in mice resulted in an abnormal expression of a number of proteins involved in vesicular transport and secretion in the pituitary gland. The miR-29a/b1 targeting gene Dnmt3a and Hdac4 were up-regulated in the pituitary of miR-29a/b1 knockout mice suggesting that these two epigenetic writers may be the upstream causes for these phenotype changes due to miR-29a/b1 deficiency. These findings demonstrated that miR-29a/b1 is indispensable for the function of the reproductive axis through regulating LH secretion in the pituitary gland.

Engineering epigenetic memory requires co-targeting of histone methylatransferases and DNA methylatransferases [Methylation]

Project description:Rewriting of the epigenome has risen as a promising alternative to gene editing for precision medicine. In nature, epigenetic silencing can result in complete attenuation of target gene expression over multiple mitotic divisions. However, persistent repression has been difficult to achieve using targeted systems. Here, we report that robust and persistent epigenetic memory required both a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT3A-dCas9) and a histone methyltransferase (Ezh2-dCas9 or KRAB-dCas9). DNMT3A-dCas9 was dependent on full-length DNMT3L for maximal activity. Co-targeting with Ezh2-dCas9, DNMT3A-dCas9 and DNMT3L induced long-term HER2 repression over at least 50 days and maintained a heterochromatic environment. Interestingly, substitution of Ezh2-dCas9 for KRAB-dCas9 enabled long-term repression at some target genes (e.g., SNURF) but not at HER2, at which H3K9me3 and DNA methylation were transiently acquired and subsequently lost. Off-target DNA hypermethylation occurred at many individual CpG sites but rarely at multiple CpGs in a single promoter, consistent with no detectable effect on transcription at the loci tested. Conversely, robust hypermethylation was observed at HER2. These data demonstrate that targeting different combinations of histone and DNA methyltransferases is required to achieve maximal repression at different loci in the same cell, or the same locus in different cells.

Genome-wide maps of chromatin state and KAP1 occupancy in KRAB zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) gene cluster KO ES cells and testis

Project description:We have shown that many mouse KRAB-ZFPs target retrotransposons which are generally marked by H3K9me3 and KAP1 in ES cells. To test whether these KRAB-ZFPs are require to establish and maintain repressive chromatin marks at these elements, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against KAP1 (2 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs) and H3K9me3 (5 KRAB-ZFP cluster KOs). We show that KRAB-ZFP targeted retrotransposons show reduced KAP1 binding and H3K9me3 in these KO ES cells. Furthermore, we performed ChIP-seq with antibodies against histone modifications typical for promoters and enhancers in Chr4-cl KO ES cells and testis. We show that, in ES cells, ETn retrotransposons gain signatures of active enhancers which acts on earby gene expression. In testis, a handful of different retrotransposons gain enhancer marks, although to a lesser degree. In conclusion, our data shows that KRAB-ZFPs are required to maintain H3K9me3 at retrotransposons in ES cells and to prevent some retrotransposons of becoming enhancers that affect gene expression patterns.
