Analysis of the senescence transcriptome after knockdown of AHCY

ABSTRACT: IMR90 ER:RAS cells were infected with 2 different lentiviral pGIPZ shRNAs against AHCY or with an empty vector (EV). We treated IMR90 ER:RAS cells with 4OHT to induce RAS activation or with vehicle (DMSO) as a non-senescent control. RNA was collected 6 days after the start of the experiment once the senescence program has been fully implemented. Our previous experiments showed that knockdown of AHCY prevents senescence. By performing RNAseq, we have unveiled that AHCY knockdown prevents upregulation of a set of genes essential for the onset of senescence and its associated secretory phenotype.

Project description:The expansion of repressive epigenetic marks has been implicated in heterochromatin formation during embryonic development, but the general applicability of this mechanism is unclear. Here we show that nuclear rearrangement of repressive histone marks H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 into non-overlapping structural layers characterizes senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHF) formation in human fibroblasts. However, the global landscape of these repressive marks remains unchanged upon SAHF formation, suggesting that in somatic cells heterochromatin can be formed through the spatial repositioning of pre-existing repressively marked histones. This model is reinforced by the correlation of pre-senescent replication timing with both the subsequent layered structure of SAHFs and the global landscape of the repressive marks, allowing us to integrate microscopic and genomic information. Furthermore, modulation of SAHF structure does not affect the occupancy of these repressive marks nor vice versa. These experiments reveal that high-order heterochromatin formation and epigenetic remodeling of the genome can be discrete events.
