Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE29112: The transcriptional program controlled by Runx1 during early hematopoietic development (expression data) GSE29514: The transcriptional program controlled by Runx1 during early hematopoietic development (ChIP-seq data) Refer to individual Series
Project description:Cell fate decisions during hematopoiesis are governed by lineage-specific transcription factors, such as RUNX1, SCL/TAL1, FLI1 and C/EBP family members. In order to gain insight about how these transcription factors regulate the activation of hematopoietic genes during embryonic development, we measured the genome-wide dynamics of transcription factor assembly on their target genes during the RUNX1-dependent transition from hemogenic endothelium to hematopoietic progenitors. Using a RUNX1-/- embryonic stem cell differentiation model expressing an inducible RUNX1 gene, we show that in the absence of RUNX1, SCL/TAL1, FLI1 and C/EBP-beta prime hematopoietic genes and that this early priming is required for correct temporal expression of the myeloid master regulator PU.1 and its downstream targets. After induction, RUNX1 binds to numerous new sites, initiating a local increase of histone acetylation and rapid global alterations in the binding patterns of SCL/TAL1 and FLI1. The acquisition of hematopoietic fate controlled by RUNX1 therefore does not represent the establishment of a new regulatory layer on top of a pre-existing hemogenic endothelium program but instead entails global reorganization of lineage-specific transcription factor assemblies. Microarray expression data obtained from differentiating murine hematopoietic cells, 3 independent biological replicates (measured twice) from iRUNX1 culture -/+DOX induction
Project description:During ontogeny the transcription factor RUNX1 governs the emergence of definitive hematopoietic cells from specialized endothelial cells, called hemogenic endothelium (HE). The ultimate consequence of this endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition is the concomitant activation of the hematopoietic program and down-regulation of the endothelial program. However, due to the rare and transient nature of the HE, little is known about the initial role of RUNX1 within this population. We therefore developed and implemented a highly sensitive DamID (DNA adenine methyltransferase identification) based methodology, including a novel data analysis pipeline, to map early RUNX1 transcriptional targets in HE cells. This novel transcription factor binding site identification protocol should be widely applicable to other low abundance cell types and factors. Integration of the RUNX1 binding profile with gene expression data revealed an unexpected early role for RUNX1 as a positive regulator of cell adhesion and migration associated genes within the HE. This suggests that RUNX1 orchestrates HE cell positioning and integration prior to the release of hematopoietic cells. Overall, our genome-wide analysis of the RUNX1 binding and transcriptional profile in the HE provides a novel comprehensive resource of target genes that will facilitate the precise dissection of the role of RUNX1 in early blood development. mRNA profiles of mouse ES derived Haemogenonic Endothelium (cKit+ Tie2+ CD41-) were generated by deep sequencing using the SOLiD 5500XL Genetic Analyser (Applied Biosystems). Two biological duplicates of each of the following lines was sequenced: iDam & BryGFP (both wt background) and iDam_runx1-/- (iDamko) & Ainv18_runx1-/- (Ainv18ko). The latter two lines are Runx1 knockouts.

Runx1b binding profiles of mouse ES derived haemogenonic endothelium were generated by deep sequencing using the SOLiD 3 or 4 System (Applied Biosystems). Three biological duplicates and three technical replicates where sequenced for each of the following lines: iDam_runx1-/- (iDamko) and iRunx1b::Dam_runx1-/- (iRunx1b::Damko)
