Project description:Transition from resting to cell cycle in response to antigenic stimulation is an essential step for naïve CD8+ T cells to differentiate to effector and memory cells. Leaving the resting state requires dramatic changes of chromatin status in the key cell cycle inhibitors but the details of these concerted events are not fully elucidated. Here, we showed that Ehz2, an enzymatic component of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzing the trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone 3 (H3K27me3), regulates activation induced naïve CD8+ T cells proliferation and apoptosis. When Ezh2 was deleted during thymocyte development (Ezh2fl/flCD4Cre+ mice), naive CD8+ T cells displayed impaired proliferation and increased apoptosis in response to antigen stimulation. However, naive CD8+ T cells only had impaired proliferation but no increased apoptosis when Ezh2 was deleted after activation (Ezh2fl/flGzmBCre+ mice), suggesting cell cycle and apoptosis are temporally separable events controlled by Ezh2. We then showed that deletion of Ezh2 resulted in the increased expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors Cdkn2a (p16 and Arf) and Cdkn1c (p57) in activated naïve CD8+ T cells as the consequence of reduced levels of H3K27me3 in these two gene loci. Finally, with real time imaging, we observed prolonged cell division times of naïve CD8+ T cells in the absence of Ezh2 post in vitro stimulation. Together, these findings reveal that repression of Cdkn2a and Cdkn1c by Ezh2 plays an essential role in permission of activation-induced CD8+ T cell proliferation.

Project description:The EZH2 histone methyltransferase is required for B cells to form germinal centers (GCs). Here we show that EZH2 mediates GC formation through repression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1A (p21Cip1). Deletion of Cdkn1a rescued the GC reaction in Ezh2 knockout mice. To study the effects of EZH2 in primary GC B cells we generated and validated a 3D B cell follicular organoid system that mimics the endogenous GC reaction. Using this system we found that depletion of EZH2 suppressed G1 to S phase transition of GC B cells in a Cdkn1a dependent manner. GC B cells of Cdkn1a;Ezh2 double knockout mice exhibited high levels of phospho Rb, indicating that loss of Cdkn1a allows progression of cell cycle. Moreover, we show that the transcription factor E2F1 plays a major role in inducing EZH2 upregulation during the GC reaction. E2F1 deficient mice manifest impaired GC responses, which was rescued by restoring EZH2 expression, thus defining a positive feedback loop whereby EZH2 controls GC B cell proliferation by suppressing CDKN1A, allowing cell cycle progression with a concomitant phosphorylation of Rb and release of E2F1.

Project description:EZH2, the enzymatic component of PRC2, has been identified as a key factor in hematopoiesis. EZH2 loss of function mutations have been found in myeloproliferative neoplasms, more particularly in myelofibrosis, but the precise function of EZH2 in megakaryopoiesis is not fully delineated. Here, we show that EZH2 inhibition by small molecules and shRNA induces MK commitment by accelerating lineage marker acquisition without change in proliferation. Later in differentiation, EZH2 inhibition blocks proliferation and endomitosis and decreases proplatelet formation. EZH2 inhibitors similarly reduce polyploidization and proplatelet formation of JAK2V617F MK. In transcriptome profiling, the defect in proplatelet formation was associated with an aberrant actin cytoskeleton regulation pathway, whereas polyploidization was associated with an inhibition of expression for a set of genes involved in DNA replication and repair, and an upregulation of CDK inhibitors, more particularly CDKN1A and CDKN2D. The knockdown of CDKN1A and/or CDKN2D could partially rescue the percentage of polyploid MKs. However only CDKN1A was regulated by H3K27me3 suggesting that EZH2 controls MK polyploidization through a direct regulation of CDKN1A and indirectly of CDKN2D.
