TET1 dioxygenase is required for FOXA2-associated chromatin remodeling in pancreatic beta-cell differentiation

ABSTRACT: Current knowledge about the role of epigenetic modifiers in pancreas development has been exponentially increased. However, the precise function of TET dioxygenases in pancreas specification remains poorly understood. Using a stepwise human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation system, TET1/TET2/TET3 triple-knockout (TKO) cells displayed severe defects in pancreatic differentiation. Whole-genome analysis revealed TET depletion led to aberrant DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. In comparison with methylome and hydroxymethylome datasets previously generated from hESCs, we identified unique pancreas-specific hyper-methylated and hypo-hydroxymethylated regions in TKO cells, where binding of pioneer transcription factor FOXA2 was remarkably enriched. Interestingly, transduction of full-length TET1 in TKO cells effectively rescued pancreatic differentiation and the expression of PAX4, a key determinant for -cell specification. Taking these findings together with genome-wide mapping of TET1 in pancreatic progenitors, we uncovered that TET1 co-occupied at a specific subset of FOXA2-bound loci featuring high levels of active chromatin. Locus-specific DNA methylation analysis revealed significant increases of 5-methylcytosine at the PAX4 enhancer in a TET1-dependent manner, consistent with defective generation of functional beta-cells from TET1-knockout hESCs. Thus, our study not only highlights the importance of TET-dependent epigenetic regulation in pancreas development but also unveils an essential role of TET1 in establishing beta-cell identity.

Loss of Tet enzymes compromises proper differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Project description:Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) convert 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxy-methylcytosine (5hmC) and are dynamically expressed in various embryonic and adult cell types. While loss of individual Tet enzymes or combined deficiency of Tet1/2 allows for embryogenesis, the effect of complete loss of Tet activity and 5hmC marks in development is not established. We have generated Tet1/2/3 triple knockout (TKO) mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and examined their developmental potential. Combined deficiency of all three Tets depleted 5hmC and impaired ESC differentiation as seen in poorly differentiated TKO embryoid bodies (EBs) and teratomas. Consistent with impaired differentiation, TKO-ESCs contributed poorly to chimeric embryos and could not support embryonic development. Global gene expression and methylome analyses of TKO-EBs revealed promoter hypermethylation and deregulation of genes implicated in embryonic development and differentiation. These findings suggest a requirement for Tet- and 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation in proper regulation of gene expression during differentiation of ESCs and development. To quantify global gene expression in differentiating embryoid bodies (EBs) derived from wild type (WT) and Tet triple knockout (TKO), TKO and WT mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were differentiated in vitro to EBs and cultured for 10 days. RNA was extracted using Qiagen RNeasy kit and subjected to microarray analysis. Global gene expression profile of two technical replicas of WT embryoid bodies (2 samples in total) was compared to two technical replicas of two independent TKO embryoid bodies (4 TKO samples in total).

Loss of Tet enzymes compromises proper differentiation of embryonic stem cells

Project description:Tet enzymes (Tet1/2/3) catalyze the conversion of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) to 5-hydroxy-methylcytosine (5hmC) and are dynamically expressed in various embryonic and adult cell types. While loss of individual Tet enzymes or combined deficiency of Tet1/2 allows for embryogenesis, the effect of complete loss of Tet activity and 5hmC marks in development has not been established. To define the role of Tet enzymes and 5hmC in development we have generated Tet1, Tet2 and Tet3 triple knockout (TKO) mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and examined their developmental potential in vitro and in vivo. Combined deficiency of all three Tet enzymes led to complete depletion of 5hmC and impaired ESC differentiation as seen in poorly differentiated TKO embryoid bodies and teratomas. Consistent with impaired differentiation, TKO ES cells exhibited limited contribution to the chimeric embryos and could not support embryonic development in tetraploid complementation assays. Gene expression profiles and genome wide methylome analyses of TKO embryoid bodies revealed promoter hypermethylation and deregulation of genes implicated in embryonic development and differentiation. These findings suggest a requirement for Tet and 5hmC-mediated DNA demethylation in proper regulation of gene expression during differentiation of embryonic stem cells and development. Methylation patterns in tissue samples from a series of wt and Tet1/Tet2 DKO embryos, neonates and adults were generated using ethylated DNA immunoprecipitation with antibodies against 5mC (MeDIP) and 5hmC (hMeDIP) followed by deep sequencing.

RNA Sequencing of WT and TET TKO cells at different developmental stages

Project description:Changes in DNA methylation are associated with normal cardiogenesis, while altered methylation patterns can occur in congenital heart disease. Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes oxidize 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and promote locus-specific DNA demethylation. Here we characterize stage-specific methylation dynamics and the function of TETs during directed differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to cardiomyocyte (CM) fate. No defect is observed using isogenic TET2, TET3 or TET2/3 double knockout lines, while TET1 knockout lines display a significant decrease in capacity to generate CTNT+ CMs. Moreover, hESCs in which all three TET genes are inactivated (TET TKO hESCs) fail entirely to generate CMs. TET-deficient cells display altered mesoderm patterning and defective cardiac progenitor specification. Genome-wide methylation analysis shows that TETs are required first to maintain hypomethylation of early regulatory genes, and subsequently for demethylation of cardiac structural genes. Mechanistically, TET knockout causes promoter hypermethylation of genes encoding WNT inhibitors, leading to hyperactivated WNT signaling and defects in cardiac mesoderm patterning. TET activity is also needed to maintain hypomethylated status and expression of NKX2-5 for subsequent cardiac progenitor specification. Finally, loss of TETs causes a set of cardiac structural genes to fail to be demethylated at the cardiac progenitor stage. Our data demonstrate key roles for TET proteins to control methylation dynamics at sequential steps during human cardiac development.

Transcription Factor Binding Analysis of Wild Type and HHEX-/- ES-derived Pancreatic Progentiors

Project description:The pancreas and liver arise from a common pool of progenitors in the foregut endoderm; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage diversification are not fully understood. We combined human pluripotent stem cell guided differentiation and sequential CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening to uncover regulators of pancreatic specification. Here we report the discovery of a cell-intrinsic requirement for HHEX, a transcription factor (TF) associated with diabetes susceptibility. HHEX promotes pancreatic differentiation through cooperation with pancreatic TFs as well as common TFs like FOXA2 that are shared by both pancreas and liver differentiation programs. Furthermore, HHEX restricts differentiation plasticity, and deletion of HHEX shifts FOXA2 interaction towards cooperation with HNF4A, driving liver differentiation. Therefore, HHEX safeguards pancreatic differentiation by promoting lineage specification while simultaneously restricting cell fate plasticity, demonstrating how organ domain demarcation requires fine tuning of TF cooperation.

We combined human pluripotent stem cell guided differentiation and sequential CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening to uncover regulators of pancreatic specification. Here we report the discovery an unexpected, cell-intrinsic requirement for HHEX, a transcription factor (TF) associated with diabetes susceptibility. HHEX promotes pancreatic differentiation through cooperation with pancreatic TFs as well as common TFs like FOXA2 that are shared by both pancreas and liver differentiation programs. Furthermore, HHEX restricts differentiation plasticity, and deletion of HHEX causes a shift of FOXA2 interaction towards cooperation with HNF4A to drive liver differentiation. Our findings demonstrate a critical role for the fine tuning of TF cooperation in organ domain demarcation, as exemplified by how HHEX safeguards pancreatic differentiation by simultaneously promoting lineage specification and restricting cell fate plasticity.
