Developmental stage specific chromosome architecture in human erythroid cells (Capture-C)

ABSTRACT: Chromatin structure is tightly intertwined with transcription regulation. Here we compared the chromosomal architectures of fetal and adult human erythroblasts and find that globally, chromatin structures and compartments A/B are highly similar at both developmental stages. At a finer scale, we detect distinct folding patterns at the developmentally controlled b-globin locus. Specifically, new fetal stage-specific contacts are uncovered between a region separating the fetal (g-) and adult (b-) globin genes (encompassing the HBBP1 and BGLT3 non-coding genes) and two distal chromosomal sites (HS5 and 3'HS1) that flank the locus. In contrast, in adult cells the HBBP1-BGLT3 region contacts the embryonic e-globin gene, physically separating the fetal globin genes from the enhancer (LCR). Removal of the HBBP1 gene strongly reactivates g-globin expression, accompanied by increased LCR-g-globin and decreased BGLT3-e-globin interactions, mimicking the effects of deleting the fetal globin repressor BCL11A. Our results uncover a new critical regulatory region as a potential target for therapeutic genome editing for hemoglobinopathies and highlight the power of chromosome conformation analysis in discovering new cis control elements.

Developmental stage specific chromosome architecture in human erythroid cells (Hi-C)

Editing the core region in HPFH deletions alters fetal and adult globin expression for treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies

Project description:We have identified putative repressor region (PRR) to exon-1 of β-globin (βE1) in the β-globin cluster as a core region in alll the HPFH deletions that activates fetal hemoglobin and silences adult hemoglobin. Here we charactised the transcriptome of the erythroblasts derived from PRR-βE1 gene edited HSPCs. Transcriptome analysis showed an increased expression of HBG, HBBP1 and decreased expression of HBB transcripts compared to control.

Forced enhancer-promoter rewiring to alter gene expression in animal models

Project description:Transcriptional enhancers can be in physical proximity with their target genes via chromatin looping. The enhancer at the beta-globin locus (LCR) contacts the fetal (HBG) and adult (HBB) type beta-globin genes during corresponding developmental stages. We previously demonstrated that forcing proximity between the LCR and HBG genes in cultured adult-stage erythroid cells can activate HBG transcription. Activation of HBG expression in erythroid cells is of benefit to patients with sickle cell disease. Here, using the beta-globin locus as a model we provide proof-of-concept at the organismal level that forced enhancer re-wiring might present a strategy to alter gene expression for therapeutic purposes. Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) from mice bearing human beta-globin genes were transduced with lentiviral vectors expressing a synthetic transcription factor (ZF-Ldb1) that fosters LCR-HBG contacts. When engrafted into host animals, HSPCs gave rise to adult-type erythroid cells with elevated HBG expression. Vectors containing ZF-Ldb1 were optimized for activity in cultured human and rhesus erythroid cells. Upon transplantation into rhesus macaques, erythroid cells from HSPCs expressing ZF-Ldb1 displayed elevated HBG production. These findings in two animal models suggest that forced redirection of gene regulatory elements may be used to alter gene expression to treat disease.

Editing the core region in HPFH deletions alters fetal and adult globin expression for treatment of β-hemoglobinopathies [4C]

Project description:We have identified putative repressor region (PRR) to exon-1 of β-globin (βE1) in the β-globin cluster as a core region in alll the HPFH deletions that activates fetal hemoglobin and silences adult hemoglobin. To test the impact of PRR-βE1 gene editing in β-globin cluster configuration, we employed Circular chromosome conformation capture (4C) analysis to assess the LCR interaction to the gamma-globin promoter. Using HBG2 promoter as viewpoint,4C analysis showed an increased interaction of HBG promoter to the hypersensitive (HS) sites of the LCR in HUDEP-2 clones harbouring PRR-βE1 biallelic deletions compared to control HUDEP-2 cells.

Micro-Capture-C to determine the long-range interaction of HBG1/2 promoter with the locus control region (LCR), a powerful upstream enhancer in -175 A>G mutantant HUDEP-2 cells.

Project description:Naturally occurring mutations in the γ-globin promoters can result in hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH), a benign condition that ameliorates the severity of β-hemoglobinopathies through increased post-natal fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression. Base editing to recreate the HPFH mutations is a promising approach to induce HbF. Compared with Cas9-generated indels, base-editing approaches were more potent, with the −175 A>G conversion resulting in the strongest induction of HbF by creating a new TAL1 binding motif that stimulates long-range interaction with the locus control region (LCR), a powerful upstream enhancer. Micro-Capture-C analysis showed that introducing the −175 A>G variant stimulated long-range interaction between the γ-globin promoters and the LCR in erythroid progenitor cell line. Together, these findings show that the −175 A>G variant creates a bipartite GATA–TAL1 motif, resulting in the assembly of a GATA1/TAL1/LMO2/LDB1 complex, which activates γ-globin gene transcription by enhancing its physical association with the LCR.

Distinct Ldb1/NLI complexes orchestrate γ-globin repression and re-activation through ETO2 in human adult erythroid cells.

Project description:The Ldb1/GATA-1/TAL1/LMO2 complex mediates long range interaction between the β-globin locus control region (LCR) and gene in adult mouse erythroid cells but whether this complex mediates chromatin interactions at other developmental stages or in human cells is unknown. We investigated human NLI (Ldb1 homologue) complex occupancy and chromatin conformation of the β-globin locus in human erythroid cells. In addition to the LCR, we find robust NLI complex occupancy at a site downstream of the Aγ-globin gene, within sequences of BGL3, an intergenic RNA transcript. In cells primarily transcribing β-globin, BGL3 is not transcribed and BGL3 sequences are occupied by NLI core complex members together with co-repressor ETO2 and γ-globin repressor BCL11A. The LCR and β-globin gene establish proximity in these cells. In contrast, when γ-globin transcription is re-activated by cytokines in these cells, ETO2 participation in the NLI complex at BGL3 is diminished, as is BCL11A occupancy, and both BGL3 and γ-globin are transcribed. In these cells, proximity between the BGL3/γ-globin region and the LCR is established. Thus, alternative NLI complexes mediate γ-globin transcription or silencing through long range LCR interactions involving an intergenic site of non-coding RNA transcription and ETO2 is critical to this process.

Transcription factor competition at the γ-globin promoters controls hemoglobin switching [CRISPR Screen]

Project description:BCL11A, the major regulator of HbF(α2γ2) level, represses γ-globin expression through direct promoter binding in adult erythroid cells in a switch to adult adult-type HbA (α2β2) production. Yet, the mechanism remains unclear. To uncover how BCL11A initiates repression, we used CRISPR/Cas9 and dCas9 screens to dissect the γ-globin promoters and identified an apparent activator element near the BCL11A binding region. Using CUT&RUN and base editing approaches, we demonstrate that this element, the proximal CCAAT box, is the binding site of transcription activator NF-Y. BCL11A competes with NF-Y binding through steric hindrance to initiate γ-globin repression, and the distance between the two motifs is critical for direct competition. Occupancy of NF-Y is rapidly established upon BCL11A depletion, and precedes γ-globin derepression and LCR-globin loop formation. Our findings reveal that the critical fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is initiated by the competition between transcription factors within a discrete region in the γ-globin promoters.
