HEXIM1 Overexpression Alters GATA1 Activity and Promotes Fetal Globin Expression

ABSTRACT: Erythropoiesis is a highly organized process whereby multipotent HSCs become committed to the erythroid linage and mature into enucleate erythrocytes. Recent work from our lab demonstrated that HEXIM1 is essential in the regulation of erythroid proliferation, viability and gene expression, and also promotes the expression of GATA1 target genes. New analyses of HEXIM1 overexpression (OE) in HUDEP2 cells revealed a significant increase of gamma globin production, with a higher proportion of cells expressing fetal hemoglobin. To gain insights into the mechanisms underlying the increased fetal globin expression, we performed CUT&RUN assays for Ser5 phosphorylated and total RNPII in HEXIM1 OE and control cells. Surprisingly, OE of HEXIM1 had only modest impacts on RNPII pausing, but instead lead to changes in the genes occupied by RNPII. Our results support a model where elevated HEXIM1 levels promote the pioneer activity of GATA1, and facilitate the expression of a fetal transcriptional program in adult cells in a pTEFb-dependent manner.

Activation of γ-globin gene expression by GATA1 and NF-Y in hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin

Project description:Naturally occurring mutations in the Î³-globin promoters can result in hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH), a benign condition that ameliorates the severity of Î²-hemoglobinopathies through increased post-natal fetal hemoglobin (HbF) expression. Mutations in the Î³-globin promoters result in loss or de novo recruitment of transcription factors, yet the cis-regulatory elements involved in Î³-globin transcription in the context of HPFH are not clearly defined. We demonstrate that the -115 cluster of HPFH mutations require GATA1 binding to at -186 in cooperation with NF-Y at the proximal CCAAT box at -85 for Î³-globin expression. We show that multiple HPFH mutations increase HbF in an erythroid cell line and result in GATA1 binding at -186. Mutation of the -186 GATA motif in HPFH erythroid cell lines and erythroid-differentiated CD34+ cells resulted in loss of GATA1 binding and reduction in fetal hemoglobin. NF-Y ChIP-seq in HPFH erythroid cell lines demonstrated binding to the proximal CCAAT box at -85 was also found to be critical for HPFH-mediated Î³-globin expression. Together, the -186 GATA motif and -85 proximal CCAAT box function in an additive and independent manner. Our results reveal detailed evidence for common, positive acting cis-regulatory elements that may provide more general mechanisms for erythroid gene expression.

The pivotal and universal role of BGLT3 lncRNA in fetal globin gene expression

Project description:A highly selective and non-genotoxic G9a inhibitor, RK-701 was discovered, which upregulated the mRNA level of γ-globin but not β-globin both in human erythroid cells and in mice. Using RK-701, we examined the induction of the fetal (γ-) globin protein in human erythroid cells; HUDEP-2 and human CD34+ bone marrow and peripheral blood cells.

AFF1-HEXIM1 cooperation suppresses rapid-response differentiation initiators to enforce epidermal progenitor maintenance

Project description:In this study we identified an essential role of the SEC, a crucial regulator of Pol II dynamics, in repressing differentiation for epidermal progenitor maintenance. This repression of differentiation is specifically mediated by the scaffold protein AFF1, but not AFF4. Mechanistically, we find that AFF1-SEC associates with the HEXIM1-containing inactive-PTEFb to directly repress a group of rapid-response genes, which feature robust Pol II pausing near their promoters in the progenitor state. De-repression of these genes occurs within 3 hours of SEC-PTEFb disruption by the peptidomimetic inhibitors. These rapid-response genes include the transcription factor ATF3. Increased ATF3 level is sufficient to promote the expression of key differentiation activators, such as PRDM1, OVOL1, GRHL3 and ZNF750. Furthermore, we find that the dissociation of inactivate P-TEFb from SEC mediates the earliest events of PKC signaling, in triggering epidermal differentiation.

HIC2 represses BCL11A transcription to regulate hemoglobin switching during development [CUT&RUN]

Project description:The switch from fetal to adult hemoglobin production has been studied in great depth in part because of its relevance to the treatment of hemolobinopathies. Transcription factor BCL11A, which is essential for repression of the fetal beta-type globin (γ-globin) genes after birth, is largely controlled at the level of transcription but the mechanism of BCL11A developmental control is unknown. Here, using a CRISPR-Cas9 screen in human erythroblasts, we identify transcription factor HIC2 as a repressor of BCL11A transcription. HIC2 and BCL11A expression are anti-correlated in fetal and adult erythroblasts. Forced expression of HIC2 in adult erythroblasts silences BCL11A transcription and markedly induces γ-globin expression. HIC2 binds selectively to constituent erythroid developmental BCL11A enhancer to reduce chromatin accessibility and impair access by transcription factor GATA1, resulting in loss of enhancer activity and enhancer-promoter contacts. Conversely, loss of HIC2 in fetal erythroblasts increases enhancer accessibility, enables GATA1 binding and induces BCL11A transcription. HIC2 is unveiled as a critical evolutionarily conserved regulator of globin gene switching by imposing developmental control on the BCL11A gene.

KLF1/EKLF regulatory networks in primary erythroid cells

Project description:KLF1 (EKLF) regulates a diverse suite of genes to direct erythroid cell differentiation from bi-potent progenitors. To determine the local cis-regulatory contexts and transcription factor networks in which KLF1 operates, we performed KLF1 ChIP-seq in the mouse. We found at least 945 sites in the genome of E14.5 fetal liver erythroid cells which are occupied by endogenous KLF1. Many of these recovered sites reside in erythroid gene promoters such as β-globin, but the majority are distant to any known gene. Our data suggests KLF1 directly regulates most aspects of terminal erythroid differentiation including production of α and β-globin protein chains, heme biosynthesis, co-ordination of proliferation and anti-apoptotic pathways, and construction of the red cell membrane and cytoskeleton by functioning primarily as a transcriptional activator. Additionally, we suggest new mechanisms for KLF1 co-operation with other transcription factors, in particular the erythroid transcription factor GATA1, to maintain homeostasis in the erythroid compartment. Examination of KLF1 occupancy in primary erythroid cells. KLF1-ChIP and input samples were run on AB SOLiD Systems 2.0 and 3.0. The genomic alignment files (*sorted.txt) and peak file (*bed) contain the combined System 2.0 and 3.0 data.
