Project description:Cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) differentiation is controlled by the crosstalk of various transcription factors and epigenetic modulators. Fully uncovering this process is fundamental to improving immunotherapy and designing novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we show that Polycomb Repressive Complex (PRC)1 subunit Chromobox (Cbx)4 favors effector CTL differentiation in murine model. Cbx4 deficiency in CTLs induced transcriptional signature and phenotype of memory cells, increasing the memory CTL population during acute viral infection. It has been previously shown that besides binding to H3K27me3 through its chromodomain, Cbx4 function as a SUMO E3 ligase in a SUMO interacting motifs (SIM)-dependent way. Overexpression of Cbx4 mutants in distinct domains showed that this protein regulates CTL differentiation primarily in a SIM-dependent way and partially through its chromodomain. Our data revealed a novel role of a Polycomb group protein Cbx4 controlling CTL differentiation and indicates the SUMOylation as a key molecular mechanism connected to chromatin modification in this process.

Project description:In our study, we found that CBX4 was critical to osteosarcoma metastasis.CBX4, also known as polycomb 2 (Pc2), belongs to the CBX protein family, including CBX2, 4, 6, 7, and 8, which has been shown to participate in the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and characterized as a transcriptional repressor. To identify the downstream target genes of CBX4 in osteosarcoma, we conducted the RNA-seq analysis of CBX4 overexpression or knockdown in osteosarcoma cell line U2OS/MTX300.

Project description:Human epidermal stem cells transit from a slow cycling to an actively proliferating state to contribute to homeostasis. Both stem cell states differ in their cell cycle profiles but must remain guarded from differentiation and senescence. Here we show that Cbx4, a Polycomb Repressive Complex-1 (PRC1)-associated protein, maintains human epidermal stem cells slow-cycling and undifferentiated, while protecting them from senescence. Interestingly, abrogating the polycomb activity of Cbx4 impairs its anti-senescent function without affecting stem cell differentiation, indicating that differentiation and senescence are independent processes in human epidermis. Conversely, Cbx4 inhibits stem cell activation and differentiation through its SUMO ligase activity. Global transcriptome and chromatin occupancy analyses indicate that Cbx4 regulates modulators of epidermal homeostasis and represses factors, such as Ezh2, Dnmt1, and Bmi1, to prevent the activate stem cell state. Our results suggest that distinct Polycomb complexes balance epidermal stem cell dormancy and activation, while continually preventing senescence and differentiation. Primary human keratinocytes were infected with control vector pBABE, Cbx4 wildtype and a Sumoylation mutant version of Cbx4 (the two Sumo Interaction Motifs were deleted), both fused to a Estrogen Receptor to render their activaty inducible by addition of 4OHT to the media. Cells were cultured for 5 days (after infection and selection) under 4OHT treatment, after which total RNA was collected.

Our results suggest that distinct Polycomb complexes balance epidermal stem cell dormancy and activation, while continually preventing senescence and differentiation. Primary human keratinocytes were infected with control vector pBABE, Cbx4 wildtype and a chromodomain mutant version of Cbx4 (F11A and W35L), both fused to a Estrogen Receptor to render their activaty inducible by addition of 4OHT to the media. Cells were cultured for 5 days (after infection and selection) under 4OHT treatment, after which total RNA was collected. For the knockdown, the pRetroSuperPuro was used as a control vector, in which a shRNA sequence for Cbx4 was introduced to interfere with Cbx4 expression. Cell were cultured in the same way as for the overexpression experiments.

Project description:Chromobox homolog 4 (CBX4), a component of polycomb repressive complexes 1 (PRC1), plays important roles in the maintenance of cell identity and organism development through epigenetic silencing. However, it remains unclear whether CBX4 regulates the homeostasis of human stem cells. Here, we demonstrate that CBX4 counteracts human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) aging via the maintenance of nucleolar homeostasis. CBX4 protein decreases in aged hMSCs, and targeted knockout of CBX4 in young hMSCs destabilizes nucleolar heterochromatin, increases ribosome biogenesis, and accelerates cellular senescence. CBX4 maintains nucleolar homeostasis by recruiting fibrillarin at nucleolar rDNA repeats, limiting excessive expression of rRNAs. Importantly, overexpression of CBX4 expression alleviates physiological hMSC aging as well as attenuates the development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, our study uncovers a novel role of CBX4 in counteracting senescence by maintaining nucleolar homeostasis, providing a potential therapeutic target for aging-associated disorders.

Project description:Molecular mechanisms of HIV-1 latency have been studied extensively to achieve a functional cure for the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). To develop more promising latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to efficiently reactivate the latent reservoir which is subsequently eliminated by immune surveillance, new therapeutic targets need to be evaluated. Here, we found that the Polycomb group (PcG) protein CBX4 contributes to HIV-1 latency in many latency models and primary CD4+ T cells. CBX4 forms nuclear bodies with liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) properties on the HIV-1 long terminal repeat (LTR). Further proteomics analysis revealed that CBX4 recruits EZH2 to CBX4 bodies and SUMOylates EZH2 utilizing its SUMO E3 ligase activity, which enhances the H3K27 methyltransferase activity of EZH2. Our results indicated that CBX4 bridges the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and PRC2, resulting in synergistically maintaining HIV-1 latency. Dissolution of phase-separated CBX4 bodies could be a potential intervention to reactivate latent HIV-1.
