Project description:RLS-associated MEIS transcription factors control distinct processes in human neural stem cells [ChIP-Seq]
| PRJNA1132898 | ENA
Project description:MEIS1 and MEIS2 encode highly conserved homeodomain transcription factors crucial for developmental processes in a wide range of tissues, including the brain. They can execute redundant functions when co-expressed in the same cell types, but their roles during early stages of neural differentiation have not been systematically compared. By separate knockout and overexpression of MEIS1 and MEIS2 in human neural stem cells, we find they control specific sets of target genes, associated with distinct biological processes. Integration of DNA binding sites with differential transcriptomics implicates MEIS1 to co-regulate gene expression by interaction with transcription factors of the SOX and FOX families. MEIS1 harbors the strongest risk factor for restless legs syndrome (RLS). Our data suggest that MEIS1 can directly regulate the RLS-associated genes NTNG1, MDGA1 and DACH1, constituting new approaches to study the elusive pathomechanism or RLS.

Project description:Meis1 and Meis2 are highly similar homeodomain transcription factors that regulate organogenesis through cooperation with Hox proteins. Overexpression experiments have suggested an essential role for Meis factors in limb proximo-distal patterning; however, loss-of-function experiments supporting this notion have not been reported. Meis1 and Meis2 are coexpressed during limb development, first in the lateral plate mesoderm, before limb induction, and then they become restricted to a proximal domain of the growing limb bud. Here, we report that complete double conditional Meis1/2 inactivation in the lateral plate mesoderm leads to limb agenesis. Meis factors cooperate with Tbx factors in this function, extensively co-binding with Tbx to genomic sites and co-regulating enhancers of fgf10, a critical factor in limb initiation. Limbs with three deleted Meis alleles develop a complete PD set of limb skeletal elements, but show proximal-specific skeletal hypoplasia and agenesis of posterior skeletal elements. This failure in posterior skeletal element specification reveals an early role of Meis factors in establishing the limb AP prepattern required for Shh activation at later stages. Our results uncover novel roles for Meis transcription factors in early limb development and identify their involvement in new molecular interaction networks that regulate organogenesis

Project description:Vertebrate axial skeletal patterning is controlled by coordinated collinear expression of Hox genes and axial level-dependent activity of Hox protein combinations. Transcription factors of the Meis family act as cofactors of Hox proteins and profusely bind to Hox complex DNA, however their roles in mammalian axial patterning have not been established. Similarly, retinoic acid (RA) is known to regulate axial skeletal element identity through the transcriptional activity of its receptors, however whether this role is related to Meis/Hox regulation or functions in axial patterning remains unknown. Here we study the role of Meis factors in axial skeleton formation and its relationship to the RA pathway by characterizing Meis1, Meis2 and Raldh2 mutant mice. We report that Meis and Raldh2 regulate each other in a positive feedback regulatory loop that controls axial skeletal identity. Meis elimination produces homeotic transformations similar to those found in Raldh2 and anterior-Hox mutants and disrupts the expression of Hox target genes without changing the transcriptional profiles of Hox complexes. We propose that Meis regulates vertebrate axial skeleton patterning by exclusively affecting Hox protein function, and that alterations in RA levels can produce homeotic transformations without altering Hox transcription through regulating Meis expression.

Project description:Vertebrate limbs develop by integrating signals that control patterning along three main orthogonal axes. Flank-produced retinoic acid (RA) is initially required for limb induction and establishment of the apical ectodermal ridge (AER), a distal signaling center that produces fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), which are essential for limb growth and distalization. Once the AER is established, RA:FGF antagonism determines the restricted expression of a set of genes that control limb proximodistal patterning. Essential for this antagonism is the activation by FGF of the RA-degrading enzyme CYP26B1 in the distal limb bud. In addition, sonic hedgehog produced from the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA) is essential for distal limb anteroposterior patterning and contributes to RA reduction by cooperating in CYP26B1 activation. Meis transcription factors are expressed in the proximal limb bud, are activated by RA and can regulate proximodistal limb development; however, the mechanisms underlying their activity remain unknown. Here we studied Meis function in the mouse limb bud through Meis2 conditional overexpression and elimination of Meis1 and Meis2. We found that Meis activity is first required for limb bud initiation and the proper establishment of the AER and ZPA signaling centers, and subsequently for the development of proximal limb structures. Functional genomic analyses reveal that Meis is an important conveyor of the RA:FGF antagonism through the regulation of components of the RA and FGF signaling pathways, including CYP26B1. In addition, Meis regulates a set of proximal limb genes controlling proximodistal patterning and differentiation. Our work reveals a regulatory module essential for limb patterning and potentially co-opted in other patterning processes involving RA:FGF antagonism.

Project description:Pre–B-cell leukemia homeobox (PBX) and myeloid ecotropic viral integration site (MEIS) proteins control cell fate decisions in many physiological and pathophysiological contexts, but how these proteins function mechanistically remains poorly defined. Focusing on the first hours of neuronal differentiation of adult subventricular zone–derived stem/progenitor cells, we describe a sequence of events by which PBX-MEIS facilitates chromatin accessibility of transcriptionally inactive genes: In undifferentiated cells, PBX1 is bound to the H1-compacted promoter/proximal enhancer of the neuron-specific gene doublecortin (Dcx). Once differentiation is induced, MEIS associates with chromatin-bound PBX1, recruits PARP1/ARTD1, and initiates PARP1-mediated eviction of H1 from the chromatin fiber. These results for the first time link MEIS proteins to PARP-regulated chromatin dynamics and provide a mechanistic basis to explain the profound cellular changes elicited by these proteins.
