Project description:Here we show binding and occupancy profiles for KDM6A, H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 to address the epigenetic regulation of a subset of Rhox genes, Rhox6 and 9, in female and male ES cells during differentiation. To further address a functional role for KDM6A in the epigenetic regulation of Rhox6 and 9, binding profiles for female ES cells treated with a control siRNA and siRNA specific for Kdm6a are shown. We report that two members of the Rhox cluster, Rhox6 and 9, are regulated by de-methylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 by KDM6A, a histone demethylase with female-biased expression. Our results are consistent with other homeobox genes in that Rhox6 and 9 are in bivalent domains prior to embryonic stem cell differentiation and thus poised for activation. In female mouse ES cells KDM6A is specifically recruited to Rhox6 and 9 for gene activation, a process inhibited by Kdm6a knockdown. In contrast, KDM6A occupancy at Rhox6 and 9 is low in male ES cells and knockdown has no effect on expression. Our study implicates Kdm6a, a gene that escapes X inactivation, in the regulation of genes important in reproduction, suggesting that KDM6A may play a role in the etiology of developmental and reproduction-related effects of X chromosome anomalies. ChIP-chip was used to analyze the binding profiles of KDM6A, H3K27me3, and H3K4me3 during differentiation in female and male ES cells. Additionally, ChiP-chip of KDM6A binding in control treated and siRNA treated ES cells is presented.

Project description:To address the functional role of KDM6A in the regulation of Rhox genes, male and female mouse ES cells were transfected with a mixture of three small interfering RNA duplexes, each of which targets a different region of Kdm6a mRNA. We found that Kdm6a knockdown in mouse ES cells caused a decrease in expression of a subset of Rhox genes, Rhox6 and 9. Furthermore, Rhox6 and 9 expression was decreased in female ES cells but not male ES cells indicating that KDM6A regulates Rhox gene expression in a sexually dimorphic manner. Mouse ES cells were treated by Invitrogen scramble siRNA duplexes or specific siRNA duplexes and used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Four RNA samples from two independent double-RNAi treatments and two single-RNAi treatment in undifferentiated female ES cells PGK12.1, and RNA samples from two single-RNAi treatments in undifferentiated male ES cells WD44 were assayed for expression changes by arrays.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a female-specific process in which one X chromosome is silenced to balance X-linked gene expression between the sexes. XCI is initiated in early development by upregulation of the lncRNA Xist on the future inactive X (Xi). A subset of X-linked genes escape silencing and thus have higher expression in females, suggesting female-specific functions. One of these genes is the highly conserved gene Kdm6a, which encodes a histone demethylase that removes methyl groups at H3K27 to facilitate gene expression. Here, we investigate the role of KDM6A in the regulation of Xist. We observed impaired upregulation of Xist during early stages of differentiation in hybrid mouse ES cells following CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of Kdm6a. This is associated with reduced Xist RNA coating of the Xi, suggesting diminished XCI potency. Indeed, Kdm6a knockout results in aberrant overexpression of genes from the Xi after differentiation. KDM6A binds to the Xist promoter and knockout cells show an increase in H3K27me3 at Xist. These results indicate that KDM6A plays a role in the initiation of XCI through histone demethylase-dependent activation of Xist during early differentiation.

Project description:The discovery of the first histone demethylase in 2004 (LSD1/KDM1) opened new avenues for the understanding of how histone methylation impacts cellular functions. A great number of histone demethylases have been identified since, which are potentially linked to gene regulation as well as to stem cell self-renewal and differentiation. KDM6A/UTY and KDM6B/JMJD3 are both H3K27me3/2-specific histone demethylases, which are known to play a central role in regulation of posterior development, by regulating HOX gene expression. So far nothing is known about the role of histone lysine demethylases (KDMs) during early hematopoiesis. We are studying the role of KDM6A and KDM6B on self-renewal, global gene expression and on local and global chromatin states in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and during differentiation. In order to completely abrogate KDM6 demethylase activity in ESCs we employed a specific inhibitor (GSK-J4, Kruidenier et al. 2012). Treatment of ESCs with GSK-J4 had no effect on viability and proliferation . However, ESC differentiation in the presence of GSK-J4 was completely abrogated. In conclusion we show that ESC differentiation is completely blockend in the absence of any H3K27 demethylase activity. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression program of genes which are differentially expressed during the early differentiation of ESC derived embryoid bodies (EBs) in the presence of GSK-J4 (KDM6 Inhibitor). ESCs (R1) have been cultured and differentiated in the presence of GSK-J4 a KDM6 specific inhibitor.

Project description:Mcm2, a subunit of the Mcm2-7 helicase best known for its role in DNA replication, contains a histone binding motif that facilitates the transfer of parental histone following DNA replication. Here we show that Mcm2 is important for the differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Mcm2-2A mutation defective in histone binding impairs differentiation and programmatic changes in gene expression and histone modifications during differentiation. Mcm2 localizes at the transcription starting sites and the binding of Mcm2 at gene promoters is disrupted in both Mcm2-2A ES cells and neuro-precursor cells (NPCs). Reduced Mcm2 binding in Mcm2-2A ES cells correlates with decreased chromatin accessibility at bivalent chromatin domains containing repressive H3K27me3 and active H3K4me3 modifications in NPCs. Together, our studies reveal a novel function of Mcm2 in ES differentiation, likely through manipulating chromatin landscape at bivalent chromatin domains.
