RUNX1 reshapes the epigenetic landscape at the onset of hematopoiesis

ABSTRACT: Cell fate decisions during hematopoiesis are governed by lineage-specific transcription factors, such as RUNX1, SCL/TAL1, FLI1 and C/EBP family members. In order to gain insight about how these transcription factors regulate the activation of hematopoietic genes during embryonic development, we measured the genome-wide dynamics of transcription factor assembly on their target genes during the RUNX1-dependent transition from hemogenic endothelium to hematopoietic progenitors. Using a RUNX1-/- embryonic stem cell differentiation model expressing an inducible RUNX1 gene, we show that in the absence of RUNX1, SCL/TAL1, FLI1 and C/EBP-beta prime hematopoietic genes and that this early priming is required for correct temporal expression of the myeloid master regulator PU.1 and its downstream tar
