Project description:Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles have the capability to scarlessly regenerate appendages including the limb and tail. Following injury, complex genetic processes must be activated and inactivated with high spatial and temporal resolution to result in a properly patterned appendage. Functional studies have established that histone modifying enzymes that act to close chromatin are required for regeneration, but the genomic regions sensitive to these activities are not established. Here we show that early inhibition of HDAC or Ezh2 activity results in incomplete regeneration. To identify the impact that each of these perturbations has on chromatin accessibility, we applied an assay for transposase accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq) to HDAC or Ezh2 inhibited regenerating tadpoles. We find that neither perturbation results in a global increase in chromatin accessibility, but that both inhibitors have targeted effects on chromatin accessibility and gene expression. Upon HDAC inhibition, promoter regions and regulatory regions neighboring genes associated with neuronal regeneration are precociously accessible, whereas following EZH2 inhibition we find gene bodies and regulatory regions associated with regulation of the immune response and apoptosis are preferentially accessible. Together this suggests distinct roles for EZH2 activity and HDAC activity in appendage regeneration.

Project description:Investigation of the mechanism by which combined EZH2 and HDAC inhibition kills PC3 prostate cancer cells. Next-generation sequencing was used to identify changes in genome localization of HDAC targets (H3K27ac) and EZH2 targets (H3K27me3) upon treatment with each inhibitor alone or in combination.

Project description:Current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and neural injuries fall short of success. One primary reason is that neurons in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lose their regeneration ability as they mature. Here, we investigated the role of Ezh2, a histone methyltransferase, in regulation of mammalian axon regeneration. We found that Ezh2 declined in the mouse nervous system during maturation but was upregulated in adult dorsal root ganglion neurons to support spontaneous axon regeneration following peripheral nerve injury. In addition, overexpression of Ezh2 in retinal ganglion cells in the CNS promoted optic nerve regeneration via both histone methylation-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Further investigation revealed that Ezh2 supported axon regeneration by systematically silencing the transcription of genes regulating synaptic function and inhibiting axon regeneration, while simultaneously activating various axon regeneration promoting factors. In particular, our study demonstrated that the GABA transporter 2 encoded by the gene Slc6a13 acted downstream of Ezh2 to control axon regeneration. Our study suggested that modulating chromatin accessibility was a promising strategy to promote CNS axon regeneration.

Project description:HDAC Inhibitor Titration of Transcription and Axolotl Tail Regeneration
| PRJNA761455 | ENA
Project description:Tissue regeneration is associated with complex changes in gene expression and post-translational modifications of proteins, including transcription factors and histones that comprise chromatin. We tested 173 compounds designed to target epigenetic mechanisms in an axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) embryo tail regeneration assay. A relatively large number of compounds (N = 31) reproducibly inhibited tail regeneration, including multiple histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi). In particular, romidepsin potently inhibited tail regeneration when embryos were treated continuously for 7 days. Additional experiments revealed that romidepsin acts within a very narrow, post-injury window. Romidepsin treatment for only 1 minute post-amputation inhibited regeneration through the first 7 days, however after this time, regeneration commenced with variable outgrowth of tailfin tissue and abnormal patterning. Microarray analysis showed that romidepsin altered early, transcriptional responses at 3 and 6-hour post-amputation, especially targeting genes that function in the regulation of transcription, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, pattern specification, and tissue morphogenesis. Our results show that HDAC activity is required at the time of tail amputation to regulate the initial transcriptional response to injury and regeneration.
