Project description:Prostate cancer cells frequently metastasize to bone and secrete signaling factors that can lead to osteoclast differentiation. However, the mechanism of regulation of ostecolastostogenesis by soluble secretory factors from prostate cancer is largely unknown. MacroH2A effect the chromatin function and can potentially attenuate the prostate cancer induced ostoclastogenesis. To study the effect of mH2A1.2 on osteclastogenesis , we used genome wide gene expression studies in wild type and mH2A1.2 knockout DU154 – prostate cancer cells.

Project description:Osteoclasts are multinuclear bone-resorbing cells that differentiate from hematopoietic precursor cells. Prostate cancer cells frequently spread to bone and secrete soluble signaling factors to accelerate osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. However, processes and mechanisms that govern the expression of osteoclastogenic soluble factors secreted by prostate cancer cells are largely unknown. MacroH2A (mH2A) is a histone variant that replaces canonical H2A at designated genomic loci and establishes functionally distinct chromatin regions. Here, we report that mH2A1.2, one of the mH2A isoforms, attenuates prostate cancer-induced osteoclastogenesis by maintaining the inactive state of genes encoding soluble factors in prostate cancer cells. Our functional analyses of soluble factors identify lymphotoxin beta (LT?) as a major stimulator of osteoclastogenesis and an essential mH2A1.2 target for its anti-osteoclastogenic activity. Mechanistically, mH2A1.2 directly interacts with HP1? and H1.2 and requires them to inactivate LT? gene in prostate cancer cells. Consistently, HP1? and H1.2 have an intrinsic ability to inhibit osteoclast differentiation in a mH2A1.2-dependent manner. Together, our data uncover a new and specific role for mH2A1.2 in modulating osteoclastogenic potential of prostate cancer cells and demonstrate how this signaling pathway can be exploited to treat osteolytic bone metastases at the molecular level.

Project description:Linker histone H1 is a protein component of chromatin and has been linked to chromatin compaction and global gene silencing.It has been sugegsted that H1 plays a significant role, regulating a relatively small number of genes. Here we show that H1.2- a variant of H1 subtype is recruited to chromatin region and is dependent on EZH2-mediated H3K27me3. Therefore a Gene expression array analysis was carried out with H1.2 as well as EZH2 knockout MCF7 cells to confirm the interlationship of H1.2 and EZH2 activity. Total RNA was isolated from MCF7 cells in which EZH2 and H1.2 genes have been depleted along with the wild type cells to study the differential regulation of various genes in each case.

Project description:Heterochromatin is enriched for characteristic epigenetic factors, including Heterochromatin Protein 1a (HP1a) and is essential for many organismal functions. However, how this nuclear domain is organized and functions is unclear. We extensively investigated heterochromatin protein compostion by biochemically purifying Drosophila melanogaster HP1a interactors.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that linker histone H1 can influence distinct cellular processes by acting as a gene-specific regulator. However, the mechanistic basis underlying such H1 specificity and whether H1 acts in concert with other chromatin-altering activities remain unclear. To investigate the cooperative role of H1.2, Cul4A and PAF1 on gene regulation, genome-wide gene expression analysis is carried out in 293T cells expressing control shRNA, H1.2 shRNA, Cul4A shRNA or PAF1 shRNA. Total RNA was isolated from 293T cells expressing NCsh, H1.2sh, Cul4Ash, or PAF1sh

Project description:Heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) is a well-known component of pericentromeric and telomeric heterochromatin in Drosophila. However, its role and the mechanisms of its binding in the chromosome arms (ChAs) remain largely unclear. Here, we identified HP1a-interacting domains in the somatic cells of Drosophila ovaries using a DamIDseq approach and compared them with insertion sites of transposable elements (TEs) revealed by genome sequencing. Although HP1a domains cover only 13% of ChAs, they non-randomly associate with 42% of TE insertions. Furthermore, HP1a propagates from TE insertions at distances up to 10-kb. These data confirm the role of TEs in formation of HP1a islands in ChAs. However, only 18% of HP1a domains have adjacent TEs, indicating the existence of other mechanisms of HP1a domain formation besides spreading from TEs. In particular, many TE-independent HP1a domains correspond to the regions attached to the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), or contain active gene promoters. Surprisingly, HP1a occupancy on the promoters of these genes does not lead to their repression. However, the steady-state transcript level of many genes located outside of HP1a domains was altered upon HP1a knockdown in the somatic cells of ovaries, thus pointing to the strong indirect effect of HP1a depletion. Collectively, our results support an existence of at least three different mechanisms of HP1a domain emergence in ChAs: spreading from TE insertions, interaction with the chromatin located near NPCs and targeting to the promoters of moderately expressed genes.

Project description:Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) proteins are important regulators of heterochromatin mediated gene silencing and chromosome structure and it is well known as the reader of the heterochromatin mark methylation of histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me). In Drosophila three different histone lysine methyl transferases (HKMTs) are associated with the methylation of H3K9; Su(var)3-9, Setdb1 and G9a. To gain insights on the dependence of HP1a on the three different HKMTs, the division of labor between these methyl transferases and the dependence of HP1a on H3K9me we have studied HP1a binding in relation to H3K9me in mutants of these HKMTs. We show that Su(var)3-9 is responsible for the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding in pericentromeric regions while Setdb1 controls the HP1a H3K9me-dependent binding to cytological region 2L:31 and together with POF chromosome 4. HP1a binds to the promoters and within gene bodies of active genes in these three regions. More importantly, HP1a bound at promoters of active genes are independent of H3K9me and POF and is associated to heterochromatin protein 2 (HP2) and open chromatin. Our results supports a model where HP1a nucleates with high affinity independent of H3K9me in promoters of active genes and then spreads via H3K9 methylation and transient looping contacts with those H3K9me target sites.
