Embryonic erythropoiesis and hemoglobin switching require transcriptional repressor ETO2 to modulate chromatin accessibility and looping (RNA-Seq)

ABSTRACT: ETO2 functions as a transcription repressor and is required for the embryonic erythropoiesis and the hemoglobin switch. To gain insight into ETO2 regulatory function during human erythropoiesis, we performed RNA-seq for WT and ETO2 KO K562 cells and found that up-regulated genes upon ETO2 loss in human cells included many markers of mature erythroid cells EPB42, ALAS2, GYPA and SLC25a37. Notably, the α-globin genes (HBA1, HBA2 and HBZ) and embryonic and fetal β-globin genes (HBE1, HBG1, and HBG2) were significantly increased after deletion of ETO2. By contrast, deletion of ETO2 down-regulated the transcription factor genes (ETS1, KLF8 and SOX6) which play a negative role in globin gene expression and hemoglobin synthesis. To further explore different domain function of ETO2, we have analyzed our RNA-seq data from domain deletion cell lines compared to the cell line expressing wild type ETO2. Generally, 702 genes were found to co-regulated by three domain function of ETO2. Interestingly, the regulation of fetal globin genes, erythroid regulator (SOX5) as well as epigenetic factor (HDAC7) is required by three domain function of ETO2. During mouse embryonic erythropoiesis, our FACS-sorted and normal RNA-seq data in E14.5 fetal liver cells indicated that eto2 promoted a critical developmental transition and played an important role in globin switch from embryonic to adult β-globin transcription since its function is essential for key regulators (PU.1, BCL11A and ZBTB7A) and globin genes (Hbb-y and Hba-x) regulation.

Embryonic erythropoiesis and hemoglobin switching require transcriptional repressor ETO2 to modulate chromatin accessibility and looping [RNA-Seq 2]

Project description:During the human cord blood CD34+ cell differentiation, expression of the genes which contribute to erycyte maturation are increased, inculding ALAS2, SLC25A37, GYPA and KLF1. ETO2 functions as a transcription repressor and is required for the erythrocyte maturation and the hemoglobin switch. During mouse embryonic erythropoiesis, RNA-seq data in E8.5 yolk sac /E12.5, E14.5 fetal liver cells indicated that eto2 promoted a critical developmental transition and played an important role in globin switch from embryonic to adult β-globin transcription since its function is essential for erythorid maturation regulators (Alas2,Slc25a37,Epb42,Gypc,Klf1) and globin genes (Hbb-y and Hba-x) regulation.

Gene expression data from E14.5 Pogz-WT and Pogz-KO fetal livers.

Project description:Fetal and adult β-globin gene expression is tightly regulated during human development. Fetal globin genes are transcriptionally silenced during embryogenesis through the process of hemoglobin switching. Efforts to understand the transcriptional mechanism(s) behind fetal globin silencing have led to novel strategies to derepress fetal globin expression in the adult, which could alleviate symptoms in hereditary b-globin disorders including sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia. We identified a novel zinc finger protein, pogo transposable element with zinc finger domain (Pogz), expressed in mouse and human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, which represses embryonic b-like globin gene expression in mice. Ablation of Pogz expression in adult hematopoietic cells in vivo results in persistence of embryonic b-like globin expression without significantly affecting erythroid development or mouse survival. Elevated embryonic β-like globin expression correlates with reduced expression of Bcl11a, a known repressor of embryonic β-like globin expression, in Pogz-/- fetal liver cells. Pogz binds to the Bcl11a promoter, and, to erythroid specific intragenic regulatory regions. Importantly, Pogz+/- mice develop normally, but show elevated embryonic b-like globin expression in peripheral blood cells, demonstrating that reducing Pogz levels results in persistence of embryonic b-like globin expression. Finally, knockdown of POGZ in primary human CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell derived erythroblasts, reduces BCL11A expression and increases fetal hemoglobin expression. These findings are significant since new therapeutic targets and strategies are needed to treat the increasing global burden of b-globin disorders.

14q32 and let-7 microRNAs regulate transcriptional networks in fetal and adult human erythroblasts

Project description:In humans, fetal erythropoiesis takes place in the liver whereas adult erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow. Fetal and adult erythroid cells are not only produced at different sites, but are also distinguished by their respective transcriptional program. In particular, whereas fetal erythroid cells express γ-globin chains to produce fetal hemoglobin (HbF), adult cells express β-globin chains to generate adult hemoglobin. Understanding the transcriptional regulation of the fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is clinically important as re-activation of HbF production in adult erythroid cells would represent a promising therapy for the hemoglobin disorders sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. We used RNA-sequencing to measure global gene and microRNA (miRNA) expression in human erythroblasts derived ex vivo from fetal liver (N = 12 donors) and bone marrow (N = 12 donors) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. We identified 7,829 transcripts and 402 miRNA that were differentially expressed (false discovery rate (FDR) <5%). The miRNA expression patterns were replicated in an independent collection of human erythroblasts using a different technology. By combining gene and miRNA expression data, we developed transcriptional networks which show substantial differences between fetal and adult human erythroblasts. Our analyses highlighted the miRNAs at the imprinted 14q32 locus in fetal erythroblasts and the let-7 miRNA family in adult erythroblasts as key regulators of stage-specific erythroid transcriptional programs. Altogether, our results provide a comprehensive resource to prioritize genes that may modify clinical severity in red blood cell (RBC) disorders, or genes that might be implicated in erythropoiesis by genome-wide association studies of RBC traits.

RNA-seq of HBBP1 suppression during HPCs erythroid differentiation

Project description:As relics emerged in endless evolution, pseudogenes lost their coding potential compared to their protein homologs and are long believed to be functionless and thus evolve under neutrality. However, evidence supporting their functionality is quickly accumulating in recent two decades. Herein, we uncovered the evolution history and the essential role of hemoglobin subunit beta pseudogene 1 (HBBP1), which situates in the middle of fetal (γ) and adult globin (δ/β) genes, in human erythropoiesis. HBBP1 was born in the common ancestor of eutherian mammals and under functional constraint in human populations. Remove of HBBP1 in human embryonic stem cells completely blocked their differentiation to erythroid cells, while erythroid differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells was also dramatically impaired after HBBP1 reduction, evidencing HBBP1 was required for human erythropoiesis. Mechanistically, HBBP1 RNA harbored a binding motif of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (HNRNPA1), competing for the binding of HNRNPA1 and thus stabilizing the key regulator of erythropoiesis, T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia 1 (TAL1). Moreover, HBBP1 was remarkably increased in β-thalassemia patients and partially required for their fetal hemoglobin elevation.

Direct Promoter Repression by BCL11A Controls the Fetal to Adult Hemoglobin Switch

Project description:Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level is genetically controlled and modifies severity of adult hemoglobin (HbA) disorders. Common genetic variation affects expression of BCL11A, a critical regulator of HbF silencing. Current models suggest that BCL11A acts at a distance from the gamma-globin genes via long-distance chromosomal interactions. Here we use a functional cellular assay and protein-binding microarray to establish a requirement for a zinc-finger cluster of BCL11A for globin repression, and identify a preferred DNA recognition sequence (TGACCA). The motif is present in embryonic and fetal-expressed globin promoters, and duplicated in gamma-globin promoters, yet only the distal motif is mutated in alleles of individuals with hereditary persistence of hemoglobin. Using CUT&RUN to map protein binding sites, we detected BCL11A occupancy preferentially at the distal motif, and validated its absence in HbF-expressing, promoter-edited erythroid cells. Taken together, our findings reveal that direct gamma-globin gene promoter repression by BCL11A underlies hemoglobin switching.

Epigenetic inactivation of ERF reactivates γ-globin expression in β-thalassemia [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The fetal-to-adult hemoglobin switch is regulated in a developmental stage-specific manner and reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) has therapeutic potential for β-hemoglobinopathies. Although BCL11A and ZBTB7A interact with their coregulators, reportedly mediating most γ-globin transcriptional silencing in erythroid in trans, and in cis, the molecular mechanism underlying the epigenetic dysregulation of the switch remains largely unclear. Here we showed that epigenetic inactivation of an ETS2 repressor factor (ERF) reactivates γ-globin expression during stress erythropoiesis, and ERF depletion elevates γ-globin in erythroid cells and in erythroid progenies from the edited HSPCs engrafted into immunodeficient mice. ERF represses γ-globin by directly binding to two motifs regulating HBG expression, independently of the major HbF repressors BCL11A and ZBTB7A. We further uncovered that an lncRNA, RP11-196G18.23 mediates ERF promoter hypermethylation resulting in reactivation of g-globin. Herein, the epigenetic alterations were identified as novel modulators ameliorating the severity of b-thalassemia, thus providing novel therapeutic targets for β-hemoglobinopathies.

Activation of g-globin expression by hypoxia-inducible factor 1a [CaptureC]

Project description:Longstanding observations that fetal hemoglobin (HbF, a2g2) expression is reactivated in postnatal red blood cells (RBCs) during hypoxia or recovery from anemia remain unexplained. We identified the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) signaling pathway as a direct regulator of HbF expression in a CRISPR/Cas9 genetic screen. In RBC precursors, depletion of the von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) E3 ligase stabilized its ubiquitination target HIF1a to induce g-globin gene transcription. Mechanistically, HIF1a-HIF1bheterodimers bound cognate DNA elements in BGLT3, a long-noncoding RNA gene located 2.7 kb downstream of the tandem g-globin genes. This was followed by recruitment of transcriptional activators, chromatin opening, and increased long-range interactions between the g-globin genes and their upstream enhancer. These effects were recapitulated by hypoxia or inhibition of prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes that target HIF1a for ubiquitination. Our findings link globin gene regulation with canonical hypoxia adaptation, elucidate a mechanism for HbF induction during stress erythropoiesis, and identify a novel therapeutic approach for β-hemoglobinopathies.
