ChIP-on-chip with anti-RBPj antibody from embryonic AGM E11.5

ABSTRACT: Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSC) are originated during embryonic development from endothelial-like cells located in the ventral side of the dorsal aorta around day E10-12 of murine development. This region is called AGM for Aorta/Gonad/Mesonephros refering to the tissues around the hemogenic aorta. Hematopoiesis depends on the Notch pathway and the identification of Notch-targets is important for the understanding of blood origin. Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) specification occurs in the embryonic aorta and requires Notch activation, however which are the elements regulated by Notch that control this process are mainly unknown. Here, we took a genome-wide approach to identify putative direct Notch targets by precipitating the chromatin that binds to the Notch partner RBPj in the Aorta-Gonad-Mesonephros (AGM) tissue from E11.5 mouse embryos. This assay revealed 701 gene promoter regions as candidates to be regulated by Notch in the AGM. Chromatin was obtained from a pool of 40 dissected AGMs at E11.5. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was performed as previously described (Aguilera et al, PNAS 2004) with minor modifications. In brief, cross-linked chromatin was sonicated for 10 minutes, medium-power, 0.5-interval; with a Bioruptor (Diagenode) and precipitated with anti-RBPJ (Chu and Bresnick, 2004). After crosslinkage reversal, DNA was used as a template for PCR or for array hybridization. Mouse promoter chip on chip microarray SET (Agilent) was used to identify RBPj targets. It covers 70,000 best identified gene regions with a-5.5 kb to + 2.5 kb range, and has on average 25 probes per gene with an average probe to probe distance of 200 bp. The ChIP-on-chip was performed with dye swaps and one IgG control was brought along. Enrichment analysis was done by comparing the precipitation normalized dye swap signal with input control signal.

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are at the basis of the hematopoietic hierarchy. Their ability to self-renew and differentiate is strictly controlled by molecular signals produced by their surrounding micorenvironments composed of stromal cells. HSCs first emerge in the AGM (Aorta Gonads Mesonephros) region, amplify in the fetal liver (FL) and are maintained in the adult bone marrow (BM). To further characterize the molecular program of the HSC niches, we have compared the global transcriptome of HSC-supportive and non-supportive stromal clones established from the AGM, FL and BM.

To further characterize the molecular program of the HSC niches, we have compared the global transcriptome of HSC-supportive and non-supportive stromal clones established from fetal liver. We took advantage of stromal clones established from the AGM, FL and BM and tested for their ability to support or not HSCs ex vivo. RNA were extracted from confluent stromal cultures or sorted cells and used for hybridization of Affymetrix (mouse gene 1.0 ST) microarrays.
