Project description:Dynamic cellular processes such as differentiation are driven by changes in the abundances of transcription factors (TFs). However, despite years of studies, our knowledge about the protein copy number of TFs in the nucleus is limited. Here, by determining the absolute abundances of 103 TFs and co-factors during the course of human erythropoiesis, we provide a dynamic and quantitative scale for TFs in the nucleus. Furthermore, we establish the first gene regulatory network of cell fate commitment that integrates temporal protein stoichiometry data with mRNA measurements. The model revealed quantitative imbalances in TFs' cross-antagonistic relationships that underlie lineage determination. Finally, we made the surprising discovery that, in the nucleus, co-repressors are dramatically more abundant than co-activators at the protein level, but not at the RNA level, with profound implications for understanding transcriptional regulation. These analyses provide a unique quantitative framework to understand transcriptional regulation of cell differentiation in a dynamic context.

Project description:Human erythropoiesis is a stepwise process in which multipotent hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) are initially committed towards the erythroid lineage and then differentiated into mature erythroid precursors. Commitment and differentiation are tightly regulated by the coordinated action of a host of transcription factors, including GATA2 and GATA1. Although the role of GATA factors in erythropoiesis has been extensively studied, how they regulate transcription from early to late stages of human erythropoiesis still remains underinvestigated. Here, we investigated GATA-mediated transcriptional regulation along erythroid development through the integrative analysis of gene expression, chromatin modifications, and GATA factors’ binding in human HSPC, early erythroid progenitors, and late precursors. A progressive loss of H3K27 acetylation, a mark of active regulatory elements, and diminished usage of active enhancers and super-enhancers was observed during erythroid lineage commitment and differentiation. We found that GATA factors mediate the transcriptional changes occurring during erythropoiesis through a stage-specific interplay with regulatory elements. In particular, GATA1 binds different sets of regulatory elements in early progenitors and late precursors, and controls the transcription of distinct genes in commitment and differentiation. By Chromosome Conformation Capture and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, we demonstrated that the binding of GATA1 to a stage-specific super-enhancer sustains the expression of the stem cell factor receptor KIT in human erythroid progenitors. This study provides insights into the dynamics of epigenetic and transcriptional interactions during erythroid development and highlights a new layer of GATA1-mediated regulation in erythropoiesis.

Project description:CD34+ cells were subjected to ex vivo erythropoiesis according to the protocol described in Palii et al. (doi: 10.3791/2813. J Vis Exp. 53, 2011). Samples were harvested at different time points and analyzed by RNAseq.

Project description:Quantitative changes in transcription factor (TF) abundance regulate dynamic cellular processes, including cell fate decisions. Protein copy number provides information about the relative stoichiometry of TFs that can be used to determine how quantitative changes in TF abundance influence gene regulatory networks. In this protocol, we describe a targeted selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based mass-spectrometry method to systematically measure the absolute protein concentration of nuclear TFs as human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells differentiate along the erythropoietic lineage. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gillespie et al. (2020).

Project description:Mammalian erythroid cells development can be divided into three period: hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC), erythroid progenitor (Ery-Pro) and erythroid precursor (Ery-Pre). To better understand human erythropoiesis and its regulation, we performed genome-wide studies of chromatin architecture, enhancer and select transcription factors binding, and transcriptomics profiling utilizing modified strategy to obtain defined progenitor and precursor populations from primary human erythroid cells. Integration and analysis of these data reveals that the TAD structure is stable but promoter - enhancer interactions are highly dynamic in a stage specific manner. Erythroid master regulator - GATA1 involves in the P-E interactions stepwisely. GATA1 binding is largely stable in erythroid progenitor and precursor, but dynamic GATA1 binding during this process regulate a productive erythroid gene expression and local chromatin rewiring. Additionally, we also have showed that dosage of GATA1 control the erythroid progenitor behavior and the erythroid progression. The valuable chromatin architecture and epigenome data will provide more comprehensive insight of human erythropoiesis and dynamic gene regulation of cellular differentiation even more broadly.
