Suppression of endogenous retroviral enhancers in somatic cell nuclear transfer embryos

Project description:Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the mammalian genome play diverse roles in embryonic development. These development-related ERVs are generally repressed in somatic cells and are therefore likely repressed in embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). In this study, we sought to identify ERVs that are repressed in SCNT-derived morula embryos, which may consequently cause previously unexplained embryonic deaths shortly after implantation. Our transcriptome analysis revealed that, amongst ERV families, ERVK was specifically and strongly downregulated in SCNT embryos while other transposable elements including LINE and ERVL were unchanged. Among subfamilies of ERVK, RLTR45-int was most repressed in SCNT embryos despite its highest expression in control fertilized embryos. Interestingly, the nearby genes (within 5–50 kb, n = 19) of the repressed RLTR45-int loci were also repressed in SCNT embryos with a significant correlation between them. Furthermore, lysine H3K27 acetylation was enriched around the RLTR45-int loci. These findings indicate that RLTR45-int elements function as enhancers of nearby genes. Indeed, deletion of two sequential RLTR45-int loci on chromosome 4 or 18 resulted in downregulations of nearby genes at the morula stage. We also found that RLTR45-int loci, especially SCNT-low, enhancer-like loci, were strongly enriched with H3K9me3, a repressive histone mark. Importantly, these H3K9me3-enriched regions were resistant to histone demethylase Kdm4d in SCNT embryos. Thus, we identified ERVK subfamily RLTR45-int, putative enhancer elements, as a strong reprogramming barrier for SCNT. A large-scale downregulations of their regulating genes in SCNT morulae might cumulatively affect postimplantation development of SCNT embryos.

Suppression of endogenous retroviral enhancers in mouse embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer.

Project description:Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the mammalian genome play diverse roles in embryonic development. These developmentally related ERVs are generally repressed in somatic cells and therefore are likely repressed in embryos derived from somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).

Our transcriptome analysis revealed that, amongst ERV families, ERVK was specifically, and strongly downregulated in SCNT-derived embryos while other transposable elements including LINE and ERVL were unchanged. Among the subfamilies of ERVK, RLTR45-int was most repressed in SCNT-derived embryos despite its highest expression in control fertilized embryos. Interestingly, the nearby genes (within 5-50 kb, n = 18; 50-200 kb, n = 63) of the repressed RLTR45-int loci were also repressed in SCNT-derived embryos, with a significant correlation between them. Furthermore, lysine H3K27 acetylation was enriched around the RLTR45-int loci. These findings indicate that RLTR45-int elements function as enhancers of nearby genes.

We also found that RLTR45-int loci, especially SCNT-low, enhancer-like loci, were strongly enriched with H3K9me3, a repressive histone mark. Importantly, these H3K9me3-enriched regions were not activated by overexpression of H3K9me3 demethylase Kdm4d in SCNT-derived embryos, suggesting the presence of another epigenetic barrier repressing their expressions and enhancer activities in SCNT embryos. Thus, we identified ERVK subfamily RLTR45-int, putative enhancer elements, as a strong reprogramming barrier for SCNT (253 words).

Epigenetic Suppression of Transgenic T-cell Receptor Expression via Gamma-Retroviral Vector Methylation in Adoptive Cell Transfer Therapy

Project description:Transgenic T-cell receptor (TCR) adoptive cell therapies recognizing tumor antigens are associated with robust initial response rates, but frequent disease relapse. This usually occurs in the setting of poor long-term persistence of cells expressing the transgenic TCR, generated using murine stem cell virus (MSCV) -retroviral vectors. Analysis of clinical transgenic adoptive cell therapy products in vivo revealed that despite strong persistence of the transgenic TCR DNA sequence over time, its expression was profoundly decreased over time at the RNA and protein levels. Patients with the greatest degrees of expression suppression displayed significant increases in DNA methylation over time within the MSCV promoter region, as well as progressive increases in DNA methylation within the entire MSCV vector over time. These increases in vector methylation occurred independently of its integration site within the host genomes. These results have significant implications for the design of future viral-vector gene engineered adoptive cell transfer therapies.

Establishing and improving retroviral episome transfer of transcription factors to achieve cell fate conversion and reprogramming

Project description:Gene transfer of distinct cocktails of transcription factors enables the targeted modification of cell fate. Reprogramming somatic cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) via ectopic expression of the transcription factors Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and c-Myc allows creation of pluripotent cells with the potential to differentiate into any cell type of the body. To achieve a high degree of biosafety for future application of converted cells, technologies are required to express the required transcription factors without affecting the target cell genome. Retroviral vectors are widely employed gene transfer vehicles and can be converted into transient gene delivery vehicles by mutation of the viral integrase, thus avoiding risks associated with retroviral integration. We improved the retroviral episome transfer system by identifying the most suitable vector architecture, by enhancing episomal expression and by tuning the activity of the transcription factor Oct4. Repeated episomal transductions allowed establishment of stable, fully reversible expression levels over time. Providing proof-of-principle in the reprogramming context, we were able to generate human iPSCs following retroviral episomal transfer of Oct4 in fibroblasts stably expressing Klf4, Sox2 and c-Myc, with a high percentage of clones not carrying residually integrated vector copies.

An endogenous retroviral element co-opts an upstream regulatory sequence to achieve somatic expression and mobility

Project description:We characterize somatic retrotransposition in the Drosophila intestine using long-read DNA sequencing. We show that retroelement mobility does not change significantly upon aging and is limited to very few active sub-families of retrotransposons. Importantly, we identify a polymorphic donor locus of an endogenous LTR retroviral element rover, active in the intestinal tissue. We reveal that gut activity of the rover donor copy depends on its genomic environment. Without affecting local gene expression, the copy co-opts its upstream enhancer sequence, rich in transcription factor binding sites, for somatic expression. We further show that escargot, a snail-type transcription factor critical for gut progenitor cell function, can drive transcriptional activity of the active rover copy. These data provide new insights into how locus-specific features allow active retrotransposons to produce functional transcripts and mobilize in a somatic lineage.
