Asymmetric Segregation of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase Complex during Asymmetric Cell Divisions

ABSTRACT: Asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs) generate two daughter cells with identical genetic information but distinct cell fates. Epigenetic mechanisms are crucial for cell fate specification, and it remains unclear how epigenetic information is inherited. Here, we report asymmetric segregation of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase complex (NuRD) during ACDs in Caenorhabditis elegans. NuRD is enriched to chromosomes of the future surviving but not apoptotic daughter cell, whereas NuRD evenly distributes to two viable siblings. Disruption of ACDs causes symmetric NuRD inheritance, and an ectopic gain of NuRD in apoptotic daughters allows cell survival and differentiation. Lack of NuRD upregulates the expression of the vital cell death-inducing gene egl-1 by increasing H3K27 acetylation on the egl-1 locus, which activates the EGL-1-CED-9-CED-4-CED-3 pathway to promote apoptosis. We propose that biased NuRD segregation during ACDs provides a previously unrecognized yet common mechanism for asymmetrically partitioning epigenetic information that contributes to binary cell fate decisions.

Asymmetric self-renewal associated (ASRA) genes

Project description:Cell lines geneticially engineered to undergo conditional asymmetric self-renewal were used to identify genes whose expression is asymmetric self-renewal associated (ASRA). Non-random sister chromatid segregation occurs concordantly with asymmetric self-renewal in these cell lines. Asymmetric self-renewal occurs when murine embryo fibroblasts that are otherwise p53-null are induced to express physiological levels of wildtype p53 protein (Asym). To distinguish p53-responsive genes that also require induction of asymmetric self renewal (i.e., ASRA genes) and/or non-random sister chromatid segregation for change, an additional control cell line, which continues to symmetrically self-renew (with random sister chromatid segregation) even when p53 is induced, was also compared (Symp53). This congenic cell line constitutively expresses the type II inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH II; the rate-limiting enzmye for guanine ribonucleotide biosynthesis) and, thereby, prevents p53-induced asymmetric self-renewal and non-random sister chromatid segregation. Three biological replicates of asymmetrically self-renewing cultures (Asym1-3) were compared with cultures that were symmetrically self-renewing - either because they did not express p53 (3 biological replicates, Sym1-3) or they expressed constitutive IMPDH II (i.e., not regulated by p53) as well as p53 (2 biological replicates, Symp53_1 and 2.)

Asymmetric cancer cell division regulated by AKT, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) high versus ROS low mRNA

Project description:Human tumors often contain slowly proliferating cancer cells that resist treatment but we do not know precisely how these cells arise. We show that rapidly proliferating cancer cells can divide asymmetrically to produce slowly proliferating “G0-like” progeny that are enriched following chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Asymmetric cancer cell division results from asymmetric suppression of AKT/PKB kinase signaling in one daughter cell during telophase of mitosis. Moreover, inhibition of AKT signaling with small molecule drugs can induce asymmetric cancer cell division and the production of slow proliferators. Cancer cells therefore appear to continuously flux between symmetric and asymmetric division depending on the precise state of their AKT signaling network. This model may have significant implications for understanding how tumors grow, evade treatment, and recur. 3 replicates each of MCF7 Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) high, HCT116 ROS high, MCF7 ROS low, and HCT116 ROS low.

APT1 regulates the asymmetric partitioning of Notch and Wnt signaling during cell division

Project description:Asymmetric cell division results in two distinctly fated daughter cells to generate cellular diversity. A major molecular hallmark of an asymmetric division is the unequal partitioning of cell-fate determinant proteins. We have previously established that growth factor signaling promotes protein depalmitoylation to foster polarized protein localization, which in turns drives migration and metastasis. Here, we report protein palmitoylation as a key mechanism for the asymmetric partitioning of the cell-fate determinants Numb (Notch antagonist) and β-catenin (canonical Wnt regulator) through the activity of a depalmitoylating enzyme, APT1. Using point mutants, we show specific palmitoylated residues on proteins, such as Numb, are required for asymmetric localization. Furthermore, by live-cell imaging, we show that reciprocal interactions between APT1 and CDC42 regulate the asymmetric localization of Numb and β-catenin to the plasma membrane. This in turn restricts Notch and Wnt transcriptional activity to one daughter cell. Moreover, we show altering APT1 expression changes the transcriptional signatures to those resembling that of Notch and β-catenin in MDA-MB-231 cells. We also show loss of APT1 depletes the population of CD44+/CD24lo/ALDH+ tumorigenic cells in colony formation assays. Together, the findings of this study demonstrate that palmitoylation, via APT1, is a major mechanism of asymmetric cell division regulating Notch and Wnt-associated protein dynamics, gene expression, and cellular functions.

Gene expression of CD8 T cell progenies generated via asymmetric cell division

Project description:Asymmetric partitioning of fate-determinants is a mechanism that contributes to T cell differentiation. However, it remained unclear whether the ability of T cells to divide asymmetrically is influenced by their differentiation state, as well as if enforcing asymmetric cell division rates would have an impact on T cell differentiation and memory formation. Using the murine LCMV infection model, we established a correlation between cell stemness and the ability of CD8+ T cells to undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD). Transient mTOR inhibition proved to increase ACD rates in naïve and memory cells, and to install this ability in exhausted CD8+ T cells. Functionally, enforced ACD correlated with increased memory potential, leading to more efficient recall response and viral control upon acute or chronic LCMV infection. Moreover, transient mTOR inhibition also increased ACD rates in human CD8+ T cells. Transcriptional profiling of first daughter cells, obtained by sorting CD8lo and CD8hi cells after in vitro stimulation, revealed that progenies emerging from enforced ACD exhibited more pronounced early memory signatures, which functionally endowed these cells with strengthened memory features.

Chip-Seq of mouse Ago-1 and TRIM32-bound small RNAs from E14.5 brain.

Project description:In the mouse neocortex, neural progenitor cells generate neurons through repeated rounds of asymmetric cell division. How distinct fates are established in their daughter cells is unclear. We show here that the TRIM-NHL protein TRIM32 segregates asymmetrically during progenitor division and induces neuronal differentiation in one of the two daughter cells. TRIM32 is highly expressed in differentiating neurons. In both horizontally and vertically dividing progenitor cells, TRIM32 distribution becomes polarized in mitosis so that the protein is enriched in one of the two daughter cells. While TRIM32 overexpression induces cell cycle exit and neuronal differentiation, TRIM32 RNAi causes both daughter cells to proliferate and prevents the initiation of a neuronal differentiation program . TRIM32 ubiquitinates and degrades the transcription factor c-Myc but also binds Argonaute-1 and thereby increases the activity of specific micro-RNAs. We show that Let-7 is one of the TRIM32 targets and is required and sufficient for neuronal differentiation. Our data suggest that the asymmetric segregation of a micro RNA regulator controls self renewal in the mammalian brain. Experiment Overall Design: small RNA from total mouse brain, Ago-1 and TRIM32 IPs were cloned and sequenced using 454 GS FLX system.

Islr regulates satellite cells asymmetric division through Sparc/p-ERK1/2 signaling pathway

Project description:Satellite cells are adult muscle stem cells responsible for muscle regeneration after acute or chronic injuries. The balance between stem cell self-renewal and differentiation impacts the kinetics and efficiency of skeletal muscle regeneration. This study elucidated the function of Islr in satellite cell asymmetric division. Satellite cell specific deletion of Islr compromises muscle regeneration in adult mice by impairing the satellite cell pool. Islr is pivotal for satellite cell proliferation and its deletion promotes asymmetric cell fate segregation of satellite cells. A mechanistic search revealed that Islr interacts and stabilizes the Sparc protein, which activates p-ERK1/2 signaling required for asymmetric division. In combination, the findings have identified Islr as a key regulator of satellite cell asymmetric division through the Sparc/p-ERK1/2 signaling pathway, which provides a new insight into satellite cell biology and open avenues for the treatment of myopathy.

Joint single-cell multiomic analysis identifies Aebp2 as a key regulator in Wnt3a induced asymmetric stem cell division

Project description:Wnt signal usually functions as a spatial gradient. A localized Wnt3a can induce asymmetric division of mouse embryonic stem cells, whereas proximal daughter cells maintain self-renew and distal daughter cells acquire hallmarks of differentiation. Here, we develop an approach, SET-seq (same cell epigenome and transcriptome sequencing), to jointly profile epigenome and transcriptome in the same single cell. By utilizing SET-seq, we profile H3K27me3 and H3K4me3 with gene expression in Wnt3a induced asymmetric cell division. H3K27me3, but not H3K4me3, is correlatedly changed with gene expression. Single cells clustered by H3K27me3 recapitulate the clusters defined by gene expression. Furthermore, Aebp2, which is the regulator of H3K27me3, is important for the cell-fate decision with localized Wnt signal. Our results provide a convenient way to jointly profile epigenome and transcriptome in the same cell, and uncover the mechanistic insights into the gene regulatory programs for maintaining and resetting stem cell fate during differentiation.

Asymmetric partition of parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers onto replicating DNA strands

Project description:In eukaryotic cells, inheritable changes in gene expression in response to environmental and developmental stimuli is associated with changes in histone modifications and relies on the passage of these changes into daughter cells during cell division, a process that remains elusive. Here, we show that parental histone (H3-H4)2 tetramers, the primary carrier of epigenetic modifications, are assembled into nucleosomes onto both replicating leading and lagging strands, with a preference for lagging strands of DNA replication forks. This asymmetric distribution of parental (H3-H4)2 is exacerbated in cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4, two subunits of DNA polymerase Pol ε. Dpb3-Dpb4 binds (H3-H4)2 and participates in the transfer of parental (H3-H4)2 tetramers onto leading strands of DNA replication forks. Cells lacking Dpb3 and Dpb4 exhibits defects in epigenetic inheritance. These results reveal a previously undocumented mechanism of histone segregation and a direct role for Pol ε in this poorly understood process.
