Project description:Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be derived from adult stem cells by forced expression of defined transcription factors. This paves the way for autologous iPSC-derived therapies, which, however, are not yet considered safe. Moreover, reprogramming of somatic cells into iPSCs is an inefficient process, in the range of 0.1%–1%. The epigenetic mechanisms implicated in iPSCs reprogramming are not well understood. The substitution of canonical histone H2A with macroH2A1 histone variant exon-spliced isoforms (macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A1.2) appears as an emerging regulator of iPSCs identity. In particular, we have previously shown that overexpression of macroH2A1.1 led to a more efficient iPSCs reprogramming, by not fully defined mechanisms. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) is a recent methodology used for robust epigenomic profiling of a limited amount of cells. Here, we employed human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) during their reprogramming into iPSC over-expressing tagged macroH2A1.1 or macroH2A1.2, to perform for the first time an integrative CUT&Tag/RNA-Seq analysis of histone variant macroH2A1-dependent orchestration of iPSCs reprogramming. Our findings reveal a higher and more ubiquitous genome occupancy and number of differentially expressed genes orchestrated by macroH2A1.1 in HUVEC undergoing reprogramming, compared to macroH2A1.2, which involved pervasive functions related to the three embryonic germ layers and increased overlapping with CTCF, FOS, GATA2, and POLR2A transcription factor binding sites. In particular, all predicted macroH2A1.1 activating pathways were related to ectoderm/neural processes. As macroH2A1 isoforms have been previously associated with pathologies of the nervous system, our findings may provide relevant molecular insights for modeling neurodegenerative diseases using iPSCs.

Project description:We recently described the phenotype of HepG2 and Huh-7 hepatocellular carcinoma cells deleted for histone variant macroH2A1, which acquire cancer stem cell phenotype (Lo Re O et al., Hepatology 2017, PMID: 28913935). We found that short hairpin RNA-mediated macroH2A1 knockdown induces acquisition of CSC-like features, including the growth of significantly larger and less differentiated tumors when injected into nude mice. MacroH2A1-depleted HCC cells also exhibited reduced proliferation, resistance to chemotherapeutic agents, and stem-like metabolic changes consistent with enhanced hypoxic responses and increased glycolysis. As macroH2A1 is a potent transcriptional modifier we asked how KD of this histone variant might affect patterns of gene expression, and whether we could identify potential mechanistic links to the observed in vitro and in vivo HCC phenotypes. We obtained and validated an RNA-Seq dataset (Borghesan M et al., Cancer Res 2016, PMID: 26772755; Lo Re O et al., Hepatology 2017, PMID: 28913935), to conduct an unbiased comparison of the transcriptional profiles of HepG2 macroH2A1 KD cells and controls. Using a cut-off of 2 fold change, assessment of differentially expressed genes for macroH2A1 KD versus CTL showed no transcriptional overlap between the different HepG2 cell lines. Considering all differentially-expressed genes, there was significant enrichment (–log(p-value) > 1.3) in several functions and pathways that regulate pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells.

Project description:MacroH2A1 is a histone variant that is enriched on the inactive X chromosome (Xi) in mammals and is postulated to play an important, but unknown, role in the repression of gene expression. Here we show that although macroH2A1 marks repressed autosomal chromatin, it positively regulates transcription when located in the transcribed regions of many target genes. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with tiling microarrays (ChIP-chip) to determine the genomic localization of macroH2A1 in IMR90 human primary lung fibroblasts and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The patterns of macroH2A1 deposition are largely similar across the autosomes of both cell lines. Our studies revealed a genomic localization pattern unique among histone variants, namely the occupation by macroH2A1 of large chromatin domains (>500 kb in some cases) that contain repressive chromatin marks (e.g., histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation). The boundaries of macroH2A1-containing domains tend to occur in promoter proximal regions. Not all promoters, however, serve as macroH2A1 boundaries; many macroH2A1-containing chromatin domains invade the transcribed regions of genes whose products play key roles in development and cell-cell signaling. Surprisingly, the expression of many of these genes is positively regulated by macroH2A1. MacroH2A1 also plays a role in augmenting signal-regulated transcription, specifically for genes responsive to serum starvation. Collectively, our results document an unexpected role for macroH2A1 in the escape from heterochromatin-associated silencing and the enhancement of autosomal gene transcription. Two macroH2A1 ChIP-chip biological replicates from IMR90 human embryonic lung fibroblasts are included.

Project description:We produced a genome-wide map of the distribution of macroH2A1 histone variants in mouse liver chromatin using high-throughput sequencing of DNA from macroH2A1 nucleosomes. Although macroH2A1 nucleosomes are widely distributed across the genome, their local concentration varies over a range of 100-fold or more. The transcribed regions of most active genes are depleted of macroH2A1, with many showing depletion of 3-fold or more. The inactive X chromosome appears to have relatively uniform macroH2A1 enrichment that averages approximately 3.9-fold, but most genes that are known to escape from X inactivation do not show this enrichment. We used macroH2A1 depletion to identify additional genes that escape X inactivation, but overall, our map supports the idea that relatively few genes escape in the mouse. The map also helped identify genes that appear to be direct targets of macroH2A1-mediated repression.

Project description:The histone variant macroH2A1 and the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP-1 both regulate gene transcription by modulating chromatin structure and function. Of the two macroH2A1 splice variants, macroH2A1.1 and macroH2A1.2, the former is often suppressed in cancer and has the unique ability to interact with poly(ADP-ribose). Using ChIP-seq in primary lung fibroblasts, we demonstrate that macroH2A1 is incorporated into either of two spatially and functionally distinct types of chromatin; the first is marked by H3 K27 trimethylation, while the second contains a set of nine histone acetylations. MacroH2A1-regulated genes are involved in cancer progression are specifically found in macroH2A1-containing acetylated chromatin. Through the recruitment of PARP-1, macroH2A1.1 promotes the acetylation of H2B K12 and K120 which plays a key role in the regulation of macroH2A1 target genes in primary cells. The macroH2A1/PARP-1 pathway regulating H2B K12 and K120 acetylation is disrupted in cancer cells, in part, explaining macroH2A1’s role in cancer suppression.

The map also helped identify genes that appear to be direct targets of macroH2A1-mediated repression. MacroH2A1 nucleosomes were purified from female mouse liver chromatin by thiol-affinity chromatography (Mol. Cell Biol. 26, 4410 (2006)) and their distribution was compared to that of the bulk nucleosomes used as the starting material for the purification. Nucleosomal DNA from two independent preparations was pooled and mononucleosomal DNA was prepared from both macroH2A1 and starting material nucleosomes. Each preparation used 8 to 10 livers from 8 to 10 week old female mice. For the relative macroH2A1 content file (see supplementary file), we used tools in the rna-seq workflow of Partek Genomics Suite (version 6.5b, 6.09.0806, Partek Inc.) to calculate the relative macroH2A1 content of individual genes. This program counts and normalizes hits in predefined regions specified in a refFlat file. The gene list was the Mouse build 8 version of refFlat.txt obtained from the UCSC Genome site. All exon information was stripped from the refFlat.txt file, which left only the start and stop sites for the genes. Normalized RPKM (reads per kilobase per million reads) values were compared to calculate fold change and FDR-adjusted p-values for each transcript.
