Age-associated chromatin reorganization drives overexpression of a novel Btaf1 variant regulating HSC self-renewal and MkP differentiation in male mice

ABSTRACT: Age-associated hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) dysfunction is accompanied by dramatic transcription changes, but it remains unclear whether specific transcripts could orchestrate these HSC aging phenotypes. Here, we performed epigenetic profiling in male mice to investigate the regulatory mechanisms underlying the HSC aging transcriptome and screen for potential aging driver genes. We show dysregulated 3D chromatin organization, altered histone modifications and changed chromatin accessibility shape the HSC aging transcriptome. From the compilation of these data, we identified a new looping structure formed between part of the Btaf1 gene and the whole Ide gene in old HSCs (OHSCs) which is accompanied by overexpression of a novel, shorter variant of Btaf1 (nBtaf1). Mechanistically, elevated expression of nBtaf1 drives the aging-associated overexpression of HSC- and megakaryocyte progenitor (MkP)-related genes by regulating TBP binding at their promoters which contributes to HSC expansion and elevated MkP production in aged mice. ShRNA mediated knockdown of nBtaf1 restores a younger HSC transcriptome and specifically represses aging-associated HSC expansion and elevated MkP production. In summary, our data provide high resolution analysis of a dysregulated HSC aging epigenome and reveal a novel Btaf1 variant that drives HSC aging phenotypes in mice.

Transcriptome analysis of potential candidate genes and molecular pathways in colitis-associated colorectal cancer of Mkp-1-deficient mice

Project description:The nuclear phosphatase mitogen-activate protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) is a key negative regulator of the innate immune response through the regulation of the biosynthesis of proinflammatory cytokines. In colorectal cancer (CRC), which is induced mainly by chronic inflammation, Mkp-1 overexpression was found in addition to disturbances in Mkp-1 functions, which may play a role in cancer development in different types of tumors. However, the potential molecular mechanisms by which Mkp-1 influences CRC development is not clear. Here, we performed global gene expression profiling of Mkp-1 KO mice using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to explore the role of Mkp-1 in CRC progression using transcriptome analysis.

Prenatal dexamethasone exposure modificates H3K9me2 at the Mkp-1 locus in bone marrow osteoprogenitors

Project description:Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) has long-term consequences in bone development. we investigated how PDE exerts persistent effect on bone metabolism in mouse offspring. Our results showed that PDE offspring exhibited reduced bone mass, fewer osteoblasts and diminished osteoprogenitors proliferation.And PDE increased MKP-1 expression, while decreasing H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) at Mkp-1 gene locus. Mechanistically, dexamethasone suppressed osteoprogenitors proliferation by upregulating MKP-1 expression, notably through the inhibition of H3K9me2 modifications, which promoted demethylation and transcriptional activation of the Mkp-1 gene. Importantly, restoring histone methylation balance with PFI-90 treatment blocked the inhibitory effects of PDE on MAPK signaling in osteoprogenitors, and mitigated the detrimental impact of PDE on osteoprogenitor proliferation and bone development in the offspring. Therefore,we performed ChIP-seq for H3K9me2 to identify its role in related epigenetic changes.

The effects of Mkp-1 knockout and systemic E. coli infection on the transcriptome of the liver

Project description:Previously, I have found that Mkp-1 knockout exacerbates inflammation, perturbs lipid metabolism, increases organ damage, mortality, and bacterial burdens. To understand the role of Mkp-1 in the regulation of host defense, we performed RNA-seq analysis using total RNA isolated from livers of uninfected and E. coli-infected wildtype and Mkp-1 knockout mice. Specifically, Mkp-1 wildtype and knockout (both on the C57/129 background) mice were infected with E. coli (O55:B5, ATCC 12014) at a dose of 2.5×107 CFU/g of body weight i.v., or given same volume of PBS. Mice were sacrificed 24 h post-infection to harvest organs. Livers were frozen clamping in liquid nitrogen, and stored at -80°C . Total RNA was isolated with Trizol and used for RNA-seq. RNA-seq results indicate that both E. coli infection and Mkp-1 knockout caused profound changes in the transcriptomes in the mouse livers.

yHSC AThi oHSC ATlo oHSC Bulk RNA-seq - Understanding transcriptional changes between autophagy engaging and non-engaging hematopoietic stem cells during mouse aging.

Project description:We sought to understand the transcriptional profile of autophagy engaging vs non-engaging old hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) referenced against young HSCs. Bulk RNA-seq analyses indicated a large transcriptional divergence between the two oHSC subsets, with pathway analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEG) demonstrating enrichment in inflammatory signaling in AThi oHSCs and in oxidative metabolism signaling in ATlo oHSCs. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) inferred that several inflammation-coupled pro-autophagy regulators including p53, Bnip3l, Nupr1, and Nlrp3[22,23], in addition to quiescence enforcing checkpoints FoxO3a, Rb1 and Cdkn1a, were activated in AThi oHSCs.

Elevated levels of Ube2g1 in hematopoietic stem cells lead to segmental aging of the hematopoietic system

Project description:Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) show diminished capacity of self-renewal, skewed lineage output and compromised proteostasis. Ubiquitin proteasomal systems are critical for maintaining protein homeostasis. We show that the levels of Ube2g1, a E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme likely involved in clonal selection of HSC, was elevated in aged murine and human HSC. We hypothesized that elevated levels of Ube2g1 causally contribute to hematopoietic system aging. Elevated levels of Ube2g1 in young murine HSCs resulted in increased myeloid-to-lymphoid ratio and reduced naïve T-cells, both known hematopoietic aging hallmarks. Interestingly, the ubiquitination function of Ube2g1 didn’t primarily account for the observed phenotypes. Elevated levels of Ube2g1 affected global tyrosine phosphorylation, mediated through a Ube2g1-Shp2 axis, which correlated with impaired Tcell development and reduced HSC function. Our work identifies a novel connection between proteins involved in the regulation of ubiquitination and phosphorylation in HSC that affect phenotypes linked to aging of HSC.

yHSC AThi oHSC ATlo oHSC ATAC-Seq - Differences in Chromatin Accessibility in Autophagy engaging vs non-autophagy engaging old hematopoeitic stem cells (HSC) comapred to young HSC.

Project description:Experiment was designed to assess differences in chromatin accessibility across the three indicated HSC populations of interest. By ATAC-seq, we observed large differences in chromatin accessibility between young and old HSCs. However, we found that the chromatin accessibility landscape of AThi and ATlo oHSCs was largely conserved, with no statistically different peaks between the two oHSC subsets and predominantly shared peaks differentially accessible between oHSC subsets and yHSC. Both oHSC subsets had a unidirectional increase in peak accessibility across greater than four thousand statistically significant loci compared to yHSCs, indicating epigenetic de-repression with aging. Pathway analysis of ATAC-seq peaks differing between oHSCs and yHSCs revealed epigenetic poising towards engagement of inflammatory responses, cell stress, and altered metabolic programs in both AThi and ATlo oHSC subsets, with some of the most differentially accessible peaks located in the promoters of genes involved in lipid metabolism. These results suggest that cellular responses associated with oHSC dysfunction are, to some extent, embedded in their epigenetic state.

Distinct roles for NF-κB in hematopoietic stem cells and the bone marrow milieu in promoting hematopoietic aging

Project description:Hematopoietic aging is characterized by chronic inflammation associated with myeloid bias, hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) accumulation, and functional HSC impairment. Yet it remains unclear how inflammation promotes aging phenotypes. Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) both responds to and directs inflammation, and we present an experimental model of elevated NF-κB activity (“inhibitor of κB deficient” [IκB–]) to dissect its role in hematopoietic aging phenotypes. We find that while elevated NF-κB activity is not sufficient for HSC accumulation, HSC-autonomous NF-κB activity impairs their functionality, leading to reduced bone marrow reconstitution. In contrast, myeloid bias is driven by the IκB– proinflammatory bone marrow milieu, as observed functionally, epigenomically, and transcriptomically. A single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) HSPC labeling framework enables comparisons with aged murine and human HSC datasets, documenting an association between HSC-intrinsic NF-κB activity and quiescence but not myeloid bias. These findings delineate separate regulatory mechanisms that underlie the three hallmarks of hematopoietic aging, suggesting that they are specifically and independently therapeutically targetable.

RNA-seq Analysis of Wild-Type and Dcaf8 Knockout LT-HSCs in Mice

Project description:Hematopoietic stem cell aging leads to dysfunction of hematopoietic and immune systems, which in return contribute to organismal aging and the development of aging-related diseases. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of HSC aging is critical for developing interventions to treat and prevent aging-related diseases. Here, we show that DCAF8, a substrate receptor of E3 ubiquitin ligases, is highly expressed in HSCs and undergoes a progressive decline with age. Loss of DCAF8 in mice results in aging-like phenotype in HSCs, characterized by increased number of HSCs, decreased self-renewal capacity, cellular senescence and elevated DNA damage. Mechanistically, DCAF8 mediates the degradation of DOCK11, a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for CDC42. In the absence of DCAF8, DOCK11 accumulates, leading to elevated CDC42 activity and consequential loss of polarity of HSCs. Knocking out of Dock11 mitigates the senescence, DNA damage, and self-renewal defects of Dcaf8-/- HSCs. This study highlights a critical role of DCAF8 in regulating HSC aging via the DOCK11-CDC42 axis and suggests potential therapeutic targets for preventing the age-related decline in HSC functions.
