PCGF6-PRC1 suppresses premature differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells by regulating germ cell-related genes.

Project description:The ring finger protein PCGF6 (polycomb group ring finger 6) interacts with RING1A/B and E2F6 associated factors to form a non-canonical PRC1 (polycomb repressive complex 1) known as PCGF6-PRC1. Here, we demonstrate that PCGF6-PRC1 plays a role in repressing a subset of PRC1 target genes by recruiting RING1B and mediating downstream mono-ubiquitination of histone H2A. PCGF6-PRC1 bound loci are highly enriched for promoters of germ cell-related genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Conditional ablation of Pcgf6 in ESCs leads to robust de-repression of such germ cell-related genes, in turn affecting cell growth and viability. We also find a role for PCGF6 in pre- and peri-implantation mouse embryonic development. We further show that a heterodimer of the transcription factors MAX and MGA recruits PCGF6 to target loci. PCGF6 thus links sequence specific target recognition by the MAX/MGA complex to PRC1-dependent transcriptional silencing of germ cell-specific genes in pluripotent stem cells.

Polycomb Group Protein Pcgf6 Acts as a Master Regulator to Maintain Embryonic Stem Cell Identity

Project description:We report that the PRC1 component polycomb group ring finger 6 (Pcgf6) is required to maintain embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. In contrast to canonical PRC1, Pcgf6 acts as a positive regulator of transcription and binds predominantly to promoters bearing active chromatin marks.Â Pcgf6Â is expressed at high levels in ESCs, and knockdown reduces the expression of the core ESC regulatorsÂ Oct4,Sox2, andÂ Nanog. Conversely,Â Pcgf6Â overexpression prevents downregulation of these factors and impairs differentiation. In addition, Pcgf6 enhanced reprogramming in both mouse and human somatic cells. The genomic binding profile of Pcgf6 is highly similar to that of trithorax group proteins, but not of PRC1 or PRC2 complexes, suggesting that Pcgf6 functions atypically in ESCs. Our data reveal novel roles for Pcgf6 in directly regulatingÂ Oct4,Â Nanog,Â Sox2, andÂ Lin28 expression to maintain ESC identity. To identify Pcgf6-bound genomic DNA regions in mouse embryonic stem cells, we fixed mouse ESCs and isolated Pcgf6-bound genomic DNA regions for deep sequencing analysis.

RNA-seq for the tissues of Pcgf6 knockout mice and wild type mice

Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are essential for maintenance of lineage fidelity by coordinating developmental gene expression programs. Polycomb group protein Pcgf6 has been previously reported to repress lineage-specific genes, especially germ cell-related genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) via the non- canonical Polycomb repressive complex PRC1. 6. However, the potential mechanism of this repressive activity remains largely unknown. Here, we demonstrated that Pcgf6 played an essential role in embryonic development as indicated by the partially penetrant embryonic lethality in homozygous mice. Additionally, we found that surviving Pcgf6-deficient mice exhibited compromised fertility. Using the Pcgf6 mutant mice, we revealed that ablation of Pcgf6 in somatic tissues also led to robust derepression of such germ cell-related genes. We provided evidence that these genes were direct targets of Pcgf6 in ESCs and endogenous Pcgf6 colocalized with G9a/Glp and Hdac1/2 on the promoters of these germ cell-related genes and that binding of these proteins to target genes correlated with methylation of H3K9 and the status of histone acetylation. Moreover, the recruitment of G9a/Glp and Hdac1/2 to target promoters was dependent on the binding of Pcgf6. Therefore, our study demonstrated a critical role for Pcgf6 in safeguarding lineage decisions and in protecting germ cell-related genes against aberrant expression.

Expression regulation by Pcgf6 in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins have an important role in controlling the expression of key genes implicated in embryonic development, differentiation and decision of cell fates. Emerging evidence suggests that Polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1) is defined by the six Polycomb group RING finger protein (Pcgf) paralogs and Pcgf proteins can assemble into noncanonical PRC1 complexes. However, little is known about the precise mechanisms of differently composed noncanonical PRC1 in the maintenance of the pluripotent cell state. Here we disrupt the Pcgf genes in mouse embryonic stem cells by CRISPR-Cas9 to investigate Pcgf6 function. Microarray experiments were performed using wildtype ,Pcgf6 KO and Pcgf6 KO + Pcgf6_flag ES cells.

DNMTs and SETDB1 function as co-repressors in MAX-mediated repression of germ cell-related genes in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), the expression of development-related genes, including germ cell-related genes, is globally repressed. The transcription factor MAX represses germ cell-related gene expression in ESCs via PCGF6-polycomb repressive complex (PRC)1, which consists of several epigenetic factors. However, we predicted that MAX represses germ cell-related gene expression through several additional mechanisms because PCGF6-PRC1 regulates the expression of only a subset of genes repressed by MAX. Here, we report that MAX associated with DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and the histone methyltransferase SETDB1 cooperatively control germ cell-related gene expression in ESCs. Both DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 tri-methylation of the promoter regions of several germ cell-related genes were not affected by knockout of the PRC1 components, indicating that the MAX-DNMT and MAX-SETDB1 pathways are independent of the PCGF6-PRC1 pathway. Our findings provide insights into our understanding of MAX-based repressive mechanisms of germ cell-related genes in ESCs.

PRC1 coordinates timing of sexual differentiation of female primordial germ cells

Project description:In mammals, sex differentiation of primordial germ cells (PGCs) is determined by extrinsic cues from the environment1. In female PGCs, expression of Stimulated by retinoic acid 8 (Stra8) and meiosis are induced in response to retinoic acid (RA) provided by the mesonephroi2-4. Given the widespread role of RA signaling during development8,9, the molecular mechanism specifying the competence of PGCs to timely express Stra8 and enter meiosis are unknown2,10. Here we identify gene dosage dependent roles in PGC development for Ring1 and Rnf2, two central components of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1)11,13. Both paralogs are essential for PGC development between day 10.5 and 11.5 of gestation. Rnf2 is subsequently required in female PGCs for maintaining high levels of Oct4 and Nanog expression6, and for preventing premature induction of meiotic gene expression and entry into meiotic prophase. Chemical inhibition of RA signaling partially suppresses precocious Oct4 down-regulation and Stra8 activation in Rnf2-deficient female PGCs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analyses show that Stra8 is a direct target of PRC1 and PRC2 in PGCs. These data demonstrate the importance of PRC1 gene dosage in PGC development and in coordinating the timing of sex differentiation of female PGCs by antagonizing extrinsic RA signaling. Gene expression of mouse primordial germ cells was analysed using Affymetrix microarray. Primodial germ cells were purified from embryos carrying Oct4(deltaPE)-GFP transgene by FACS.
