Project description:In mammalian cells transcription factors (TFs) preferentially bind sites contained in regions of high nucleosomal occupancy, as determined by nucleotide-dependent computational analysis. This observation suggests that nucleosomes may act as gatekeepers of TF binding sites. We hypothesized that in mammalian genomes the information controlling nucleosome assembly may partially coincide with the information that enables TFs to recognize cognate sites in cis-regulatory elements while ignoring the myriad of non-functional, randomly occurring consensus binding sites. This way, nucleosome-mediated masking would be coupled to TF binding site functionality. The hematopoietic master regulator Pu.1 maintained nucleosome depletion at macrophage-specific enhancers that were otherwise occupied by nucleosomes in other cell types and in reconstituted chromatin. We identified a minimal set of DNA sequence and shape features that predicted Pu.1 binding with 78% accuracy. The same features predicted nucleosome occupancy in cells where Pu.1 was not expressed with higher accuracy than specifically designed models. Control of nucleosome deposition by DNA sequence and shape features that also specify TF consensus site functionality may allow maintaining the gatekeeper function of nucleosomes during evolution of cis-regulatory elements. Chromatin immuno-precipitations of the transcription factor Pu.1 followed by multiparallel sequencing performed in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. Experiments carried out in cells infected either with a retroviral vector containing a short hairpin targeting Pu.1 or with the empty vector as control. The shPU.1 hairpin (sequence available upon request) was selected among five designed using a publicly available software (http://katahdin.mssm.edu/siRNA) and was cloned in a modified version of TtRMPVIR inducible retroviral vector (Genbank HQ456318) in which the puromycin resistance gene was inserted. The empty vector, containing an sh-Renilla sequence, was used as control.

Project description:We report genome-wide pattern of Myb chromatin occupancy in vivo. We used ERMYB, a myeloid progenitor cell line derived by transformation of primary cells by ER-Myb fusion protein, as our model system. In these cells, activation of the ER-Myb fusion protein by estrogen is required to maintain a proliferative progenitor-like phenotype. We performed ChIP-seq with biological duplicate samples from ERMYB cells with Myb either “on” or “off” (i.e. + or - ?-E2 for 6 hr). By comparing enrichment signals between Myb-on, Myb-off and isotype control samples, we identified 7,646 high-confidence Myb binding regions, which can be assigned to 4,892 annotated genes according to their distances to the nearest transcriptional start sites. Examination of Myb chromatin occupany in myeloid cells transformed by a switchable form of Myb

Project description:Pan-Hdac inhibitors (HDACi) are endowed with a potent anti-inflammatory activity, but the relative role of each of the eleven Hdac proteins sensitive to HDACi to the inflammatory gene expression program is unknown. Using an integrated genomic approach we found that Hdac3-deficient macrophages are unable to activate almost half of the inflammatory gene expression program when stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A large part of the activation defect is due to loss of basal and LPS-inducible expression of IFNb, which in basal cells maintains Stat1 protein levels, and after stimulation acts in an autocrine/paracrine manner to promote a secondary wave of Stat1-dependent gene expression. We show that loss of Hdac3-mediated repression of nuclear receptors leads to hyperacetylation of thousands of genomic sites and associated gene derepression. The upregulation of the constitutively expressed prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase, Ptgs1 (Cox-1), has a causative role in the phenotype, since its chemical inhibition reverts the Ifnb activation defect. These data may have relevance for the use of selective Hdac inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents. Chromatin immuno-precipitations of H4 histone pan-acetylation followed by multiparallel sequencing performed in murine bone marrow-derive macrophages. Experiments carried out in untreated cells as well as in cells treated for 4hrs with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for both HDAC3 +/- (wt) and HDAC3 -/- (KO) mice.

Project description:Histone methyltransferases catalyze site-specific deposition of methyl groups, enabling recruitment of transcriptional regulators. In mammals, trimethylation of lysine 4 in histone H3, a modification localized at the transcription start sites of active genes, is catalyzed by six enzymes (SET1a and SET1b, MLL1M-bM-^@M-^SMLL4) whose specific functions are largely unknown. By using a genomic approach, we found that in macrophages, MLL4 (also known as Wbp7) was required for the expression of Pigp, an essential component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase, the enzyme catalyzing the first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor synthesis. Impaired Pigp expression in Wbp7-/- macrophages abolished GPI anchor-dependent loading of proteins on the cell membrane. Consistently, loss of GPI-anchored CD14, the coreceptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and other bacterial molecules, markedly attenuated LPS-triggered intracellular signals and gene expression changes. These data link a histone-modifying enzyme to a biosynthetic pathway and indicate a specialized biological role for Wbp7 in macrophage function and antimicrobial response. Chromatin immuno-precipitations of H3 histone try-methylated on lysine 4 followed by multiparallel sequencing performed in murine bone marrow-derive macrophages (BMDM). Experiments carried out in untreated cells as well as in cells treated for 4hrs with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), for both Wbp7+/- (HET) and Wbp7-/- (KO) mice.

Project description:Epigenetic alterations in the pattern of DNA and histone modifications play a crucial role in cancer development. Analysis of patient samples, however, is hampered by technical limitations in the study of chromatin structure from pathology archives that typically consist of heavily fixed, paraffin-embedded material. ChIP assays (with anti-H3K4me3 and anti-H3K27me3 antibodies) were performed by using formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) mouse spleen sections (half portion of the spleen) and comparing it to the canonical ChIP procedure applied by using isolated cells from the other portion of the same spleen.

Project description:According to current models, transcription factors (TFs) activated by extracellular stimuli operate in the context of a pre-established enhancer repertoire induced and maintained by lineage-specific TFs. Here, we uncovered the existence of latent enhancers, defined as regions of the genome that in terminally differentiated cells are poorly accessible and lack the histone marks characteristic of enhancers, but readily acquire these features in response to extracellular cues. Stimulation of resting macrophages caused simultaneous binding of stimulus-activated TFs and lineage-determining TFs to these regions, enabling deposition of enhancer-specific features. Once unveiled, these enhancers did not return to a latent state even when stimulation ceased; instead, they persisted and mediated a faster and stronger response upon restimulation. We suggest that stimulus-specific expansion of the available cis-regulatory repertoire provides an epigenomic memory of the exposure to environmental agents. Formaldehyde-Assisted Isolation Of Regulatory Elements (FAIRE) followed by multiparallel sequencing was performed in untreated murine bone marrow-derived macrophages.

Project description:We assembled a quantitative map for the abundance and interactions of 16 factors related to PCH in living cells and found that stably bound complexes of the histone methyltransferase Suv39h1/2 demarcate the PCH state. From the experimental data we developed a predictive mathematical model that explains how chromatin-bound Suv39h1/2 complexes act as nucleation sites and propagate a spatially confined PCH domain with elevated histone H3 trimethylation levels via chromatin dynamics. Enrichment of HP1, Suv39h1/h2, H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 was assessed by ChIP-seq in NPCs derived from ESCs showing differential occupation at intergenic major satellite repeats and enrichment of heterochromatin factors.

Project description:C/EBPα induces transdifferentiation of B cells into macrophages at high efficiencies and enhances reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) when co-expressed with Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and Myc (OSKM). However, how C/EBPα accomplishes these effects is unclear. We now found that transient C/EBPα expression followed by OSKM activation induces a 100 fold increase in iPSC reprogramming efficiency, involving 95% of the cells. During this conversion pluripotency and epithelial-mesenchymal transition genes become dramatically up-regulated and 60% of the cells express Oct4 within 2 days. C/EBPα acts as a pathbreaker since it transiently makes the chromatin of pluripotency genes more accessible to DNase I. It also induces the expression of the dioxygenase Tet2 and promotes its translocation to the nucleus where it binds to regulatory regions of pluripotency genes that become demethylated following OSKM induction. In line with these findings, overexpression of Tet2 enhances OSKM‐induced B cell reprogramming. Since the enzyme is also required for efficient C/EBPα-induced immune cell conversion, our data suggest that Tet2 provides a mechanistic link between iPSC reprogramming and B cell transdifferentiation. The rapid iPS reprogramming approach described should help to fully elucidate the process and has potential clinical applications.
