The histone chaperone CAF-1 safeguards somatic cell identity during transcription factor-induced reprogramming (sequencing)

Project description:During development, specialized cell lineages are generated through the establishment of cell type-specific transcriptional patterns and epigenetic programs. However, the precise mechanisms and regulators that maintain these specialized cell states remain largely elusive. To identify molecules that safeguard somatic cell identity, we performed two comprehensive RNAi screens targeting known and predicted chromatin regulators during transcription factor-mediated reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Remarkably, subunits of the chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1) complex emerged as the most prominent hits from both screens, followed by modulators of lysine sumoylation, DNA methylation and heterochromatin maintenance. Suppression of CAF-1 increased reprogramming efficiencies by several orders of magnitude and generated iPSCs two to three times faster compared to controls without affecting cell proliferation. We demonstrate that suppression of CAF-1 leads to a more accessible chromatin structure specifically at enhancer elements early during reprogramming. These changes were accompanied by increased binding of the reprogramming factor Sox2 to ESC-specific regulatory elements and earlier activation of pluripotency-associated genes. Notably, suppression of CAF-1 also enhanced iPSC formation from blood progenitors as well as the direct conversion of B cells into macrophages and fibroblasts into neurons. Together, our findings reveal the histone chaperone CAF-1 as an unanticipated regulator of somatic cell identity and provide a potential strategy to modulate cellular plasticity in a regenerative setting.

EGR1 regulation in human bone marrow stromal cells

Project description:Human bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are key elements of the hematopoietic environment and they play a central role in bone and bone marrow physiology. However, how key BMSC functions are regulated is largely unknown. We analyzed the role of the immediate early response transcription factor EGR1 as key BMSC regulator and found that EGR1 was highly expressed in prospectively-isolated primary BMSCs, downregulated upon culture, and lower in non-CFU-F-containing CD45neg BM cells. Furthermore, EGR1 expression was lower in proliferative regenerating adult and fetal primary cells compared to adult steady-state BMSCs. Accordingly, EGR1 overexpression markedly decreased BMSC proliferation but considerably improved hematopoietic stroma support function as indicated by an increased production of transplantable CD34+CD90+ hematopoietic stem cells in expansion co-cultures. The improvement of BMSC stroma support function was mediated by increased expression of hematopoietic supporting genes, such as VCAM1 and CCL28. On the other hand, EGR1 knockdown increased ROS-mediated BMSC proliferation, and clearly reduced BMSC hematopoietic stroma support potential. These findings thus show that EGR1 is a key BMSC transcription factor with a dual role in regulating proliferation and hematopoietic stroma support function that is controlling a genetic program to coordinate the specific functions of BMSC in their different biological contexts.

DNA-PKcs kinase activity stabilizes the transcription factor Egr1 in activated immune cells

Project description:To gain insight into the function of DNA-PKcs within immune cells, we performed a quantitative phosphoproteomic screen in T cells to identify first order phosphorylation targets of DNA-PKcs. Results indicate that DNA-PKcs phosphorylates the transcription factor Egr1 (early growth response protein 1) at S301. Expression of Egr1 is induced early upon T cell activation and dictates T cell response by modulating expression of cytokines and key costimulatory molecules. Mutation of serine 301 to alanine via CRISPR-Cas9 resulted in increased proteasomal degradation of Egr1 and a decrease in Egr1-dependent transcription of IL2 (interleukin-2) in activated T cells. Our findings identify DNA-PKcs as a critical intermediary link between T cell activation and T cell fate and a novel phosphosite involved in regulating Egr1 activity.

Expression data from EGR1-transfected H1299 cells vs normal H1299 cells

Project description:The functions of EGR1, a multifunctional transcription factor, in prostate cancer are well documented. However, little is known about the functions of EGR1 in lung cancer. we observed the function of EGR1 in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and identified the genes that influence cell fate and tumor development. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression and identified genes differentially expressed when EGR1-overexpressed. We have demonstrated that EGR1 is able to increase cell apoptosis, and inhibit metastasis. And we sought to find genes distributed to decrease the malignancy of human non-small cell lung cancer regulated by EGR1. To that end, H1299 cells were transfected either EGR1 or pcDNA3.1. After 48h, cells were collected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays (PEGR1 VS PCDNA3.1).

Co-Profiling of Chromatin Occupancy and RNAs in single cells

Project description:Elucidating the relationship between cellular heterogeneity in epigenome and gene expression is critical to understand the underlying cellular states and functions. Jointly profiling chromatin occupancy and RNA at the single level is needed for this purpose, which is however not available currently. Therefore, we developed Single-cell co-profiling of chromatin occupancy and RNAs sequencing (scPCOR-seq) for simultaneously profiling genome-wide gene expression and TF/histone bindings in the same cell. By applying scPCOR-seq to human H1 and 293T cells, scPCOR-seq can successfully detect gene expression and PolII bindings in the same cell at the single cell level and identify cell type specific Cis-regulatory elements (CRE). We observed that the cellular variation in PolII bindings is strongly correlated with that in gene expression, which is affected by the location of polII bindings. This suggests that a new mechanism for the source of cellular heterogeneity in gene expression. Overall, our work provides a promising approach to understand the relationships among different omics layers.
