Project description:Aging is associated with an abnormal increase of DNA methylation in human gene promoters, including in bone marrow stem cells. DNA methylation patterns are further perturbed in hematological malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but the physiological significance of such epigenetic changes is unknown. Using epigenetic editing of human stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs), we show that p15 methylation affects hematopoiesis in vivo. We edited the CDKN2B (p15) promoter and ARF (p14) using dCas9-3A3L and observed DNA methylation spreading beyond the gRNA location. We find that despite a transient delivery system, DNA methylation is maintained during myeloid differentiation in vitro, and hypermethylation of the p15 promoter reduces gene expression. In vivo, edited human HSPCs can engraft the bone marrow of mice and targeted DNA methylation is maintained in HSPCs long term. Moreover, epigenetic changes are conserved and inherited in both myeloid and lymphoid lineages. Although the proportion of myeloid (CD33+) and lymphoid (CD19+) cells is unaffected, monocyte (CD14+) populations decreased and granulocytes (CD66b+) increased in mice engrafted with p15 hypermethylated HSPCs. Monocytes derived from p15 hypermethylated HSPCs appear to be activated and show increased inflammatory transcriptional programs. We believe these findings have clinical relevance since we found p15 promoter methylation in the peripheral blood of patients with clonal hematopoiesis. Our study shows DNA methylation can be targeted and maintained in human HSPCs and demonstrated functional relevance of aberrant DNA methylation on the p15 locus. As such, other ageing associated aberrant DNA methylation may impact hematopoiesis in vivo.

Project description:We report the generation of CRISPR-dCas9 DNA methyltransferases to mediate targeted DNA methylation. Using the dCas9-BFP-DNMT3A and dCas9-BFP-DNMT3B methyltransferases, we have demonstrated that these two methyltransferase can mediate targeted methylation in three human genes tested: uPA, TGFBR3, and CDKN2A in human HEK293T cells. We also showed that these methyltransferases could mediate gene inhibition. five samples co-transfected with five uPA sgRNAs and each of the four dCas9 fusions, or control transfection with pUC19 plasmid

Project description:Precision epigenome editing has gained significant attention as a method to modulate gene expression without altering genetic information. However, a major limiting factor has been that the gene expression changes are often transient, unlike the life-long epigenetic changes that occur frequently in nature. Here, we systematically interrogate the ability of CRISPR/dCas9-based epigenome editors (Epi-dCas9) to engineer persistent epigenetic silencing. We elucidated cis regulatory features that contribute to the differential stability of epigenetic reprogramming, such as the active transcription histone marks H3K36me3 and H3K27ac strongly correlating with resistance to short-term repression and resistance to long-term silencing, respectively. H3K27ac inversely correlates with increased DNA methylation. Interestingly, the dependance on H3K27ac was only observed when a combination of KRAB-dCas9 and targetable DNA methyltransferases (DNMT3A-dCas9 + DNMT3L) was used, but not when KRAB was replaced with the targetable H3K27 histone methyltransferase Ezh2. In addition, programmable Ezh2/DNMT3A + L treatment demonstrated enhanced engineering of localized DNA methylation and was not sensitive to a divergent chromatin state. Our results highlight the importance of local chromatin features for heritability of programmable silencing and the differential response to KRAB- and Ezh2-based epigenetic editing platforms. The information gained in this study provides fundamental insights into understanding contextual cues to more predictably engineer persistent silencing.

Project description:Epigenetic aberration is one of the major driving factors in the initiation, promotion, and progression of human cancer and it is also often associated with acquired therapeutic resistance. Several chemical epigenetic modulators have been reported. However, results from animal models and clinical trials have indicated that severe on- and off-target toxicity is one of the leading factors behind failures in epidrug development. CRISPR/dCas9 technology provides a powerful tool for precise epigenetic regulation at the single-gene level. This approach requires ectopic expression of exogenous epigenetic modulatory proteins, which cause side effects and technical challenges for preparation and delivery. Recently, we have shown that Cas9 tagging with the peptide motif (FCPF) was recognized by perfluoro biphenyl derivatives. Here, we introduced the FCPF-tag into dCas9 and report a chemically induced platform for epigenome editing (Chem-CRISPR/dCas9FCPF). By conjugating JQ1, a BRD4 inhibitor, to perfluoro biphenyl (JQ1-FCPF), we demonstrate that JQ1-FCPF covalently binds to CRISPR/dCas9 and specifically inhibits BRD4 in proximity to the promoters/enhancers of c-MYC with the guidance of c-MYC sgRNAs. Thus, we achieved epigenetic modulation of c-MYC with high efficiency and specificity.

Project description:The human genome is folded into regulatory units termed ‘topologically-associated domains’ (TADs), within which the majority of gene-enhancer interactions occur. Genome-wide studies support a global role for the insulator protein CTCF in mediating chromosomal looping and the topological constraint of TAD boundaries3,4. However, the impact of individual insulators on enhancer-gene interactions and transcription remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate epigenome editing strategies for perturbing individual CTCF insulators and evaluating consequent effects on genome topology and transcription. We show that fusions of catalytically-inactive Cas9 (dCas9) to transcriptional repressors (dCas9-KRAB) and DNA methyltransferases (dCas9-DNMT3A, dCas9-DNMT3A3L) can selectively displace CTCF from specific insulators, but only when precisely targeted to the cognate motif. We further demonstrate that stable, mitotically-heritable insulator disruption can be achieved through combinatorial hit-and-run epigenome editing with dCas9-KRAB and dCas9-DNMT3A3L. Finally, we apply these strategies to activate PDGFRA expression in glioblastoma stem cells, thus simulating an insulator loss mechanism implicated in brain tumorigenesis. Our study provides strategies for stably modifying genome organization and gene activity without altering the underlying DNA sequence.
