Genome-wide characterization of menin-dependent H3K4me3 reveals a specific role for menin in the regulation of genes implicated in MEN1-like tumors (ChIP-Seq)

ABSTRACT: Inactivating mutations in the MEN1 gene predisposing to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome can also cause sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. MEN1 encodes menin, a subunit of MLL1/MLL2-containing histone methyltransferase complexes that trimethylate histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3). The importance of menin-dependent H3K4me3 in normal and transformed pancreatic endocrine cells is unclear. To study the role of menin-dependent H3K4me3, we performed in vitro differentiation of wild-type as well as menin-null mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) into pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs). Gene expression analysis and genome-wide H3K4me3 ChIP-Seq profiling in wild-type and menin-null mESCs and PILECs revealed menin-dependent H3K4me3 at the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in mESCs, and all four Hox loci in differentiated PILECs. Specific and significant loss of H3K4me3 and gene expression was observed for genes within the imprinted Dlk1-Meg3 locus in menin-null mESCs and the Hox loci in menin-null PILECs. Given that the reduced expression of genes within the DLK1-MEG3 locus and the HOX loci is associated with MEN1-like sporadic tumors, our data suggests a possible role for menin-dependent H3K4me3 at these genes in the initiation and progression of sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. Furthermore, our investigation also demonstrates that menin-null mESCs can be differentiated in vitro into islet-like endocrine cells, underscoring the utility of menin-null mESC-derived specialized cell types for genome-wide high-throughput studies. Genome-wide mapping of H3K4me3 and microarray gene expression profiling in TC-1 wild-type (WT) mESCs, menin-null (Men1-ko) mESCs (3.2N), pancreatic islet-like endocrine cells (PILECs) derived from WT mESCs, and PILECs derived from Men1-ko mESCs.

Project description:Serum-to-2i interconversion of mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs) is a valuable in vitro model for early embryonic development. To assess whether 3D chromatin organization changes during this transition, we established Capture Hi-C with target-sequence enrichment of DNase I hypersensitive sites. We detected extremely long-range intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions between a small subset of H3K27me3 marked bivalent promoters involving the Hox clusters in serum grown cells. Notably, these promoter-mediated interactions are not present in 2i ground-state pluripotent mESCs but appear upon further development into primed-like serum mESCs. Reverting serum mESCs to ground-state 2i mESCs removes these promoter-promoter interactions in a spatiotemporal manner. H3K27me3, which is largely absent at bivalent promoters in ground-state 2i mESCs, is necessary but not sufficient to establish these interactions, as confirmed by Capture Hi-C on Eed-/- serum mESCs. Our results implicate H3K27me3 and PRC2 as critical players in chromatin alteration during priming of ESCs for differentiation. To study dynamics in chromatin architecture and to characterize long-range interaction, we performed Hi-C using DpnII as the restriction enzyme, potentially reaching a genome-wide coverage at a less than 1Kb resolution. We subsequently performed enrichment of interaction by a target capture similar to the exome sequencing approach. We enriched for DNaseI hyper-sensitive sites (DHSâs) in chromatin from mESCs. Probes were designed against the union of all DHSâs of Serum and 2i mESCs. Capture Hi-C reveals Extremely Long-Range Interactions (ELRI) in Serum but not in 2i ESCs. We observed H3K27me3 as a prominent characteristic, but not exclusive feature of ELRI loci in Serum mESCs. To further elucidate the involvement of constituents of PRC1 and PRC2 in ELRI, we performed ChIP-seq experiment on Suz12 and Ring1B during serum-to-2i transition. In addition, RNA-seq was performed to compare the expression levels of genes.
