The pioneer transcription factor PBX as a downstream target of MNX1 [ACT]

ABSTRACT: Recently we have identified the upregulation of the homebox domain protein MNX1 associated with the paediatric t(7;12) AML as the initiating event for Leukaemia in mice. We demonstrated that MNX1 triggers abnormal histone modifications, specifically H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, by interacting with SAM-dependent methyltransferases. In the current study our aim was investigate downstream targets of MNX1 and the relationship with histone modification. Employing TMT Mass spectrometry and RNA-Seq integrative analysis identified the pioneer transcription factor PBX1 as a downstream target of MNX1. We observe that MNX1 binds to the promoter region of PBX1, leading to increased expression of PBX1. This binding of MNX1 to the PBX1 promoter was associated with enhanced H3K4me3 and decreased H3K27me3 in the same promoter region. Interestingly, this binding of MNX1, but not the histone modification on the PBX1 promoter was transient and diminishes as MNX1-FL cells progress to leukaemia in mice. To gain further insight, we conducted a comparative analysis of H3K4me3 using ACT-Seq and RNA-Seq data between MNX preleukemia FL cells and leukaemia MNX1 BM blasts. Our results indicate that this phenomenon is not limited to PBX1 but is rather widespread throughout the genome, identifying several downstream targets for MNX1 mediated H3K4me3 modification. Investigating the PBX1 and 4 motifs identified from Chip-Seq, revealed a significant enrichment in MNX1 H3K4me3 and ATAC-seq peaks. This suggest that PBX family might play an important role in the function of MNX1, which was further confirmed by showing MNX1 induced PBX1 expression to be downregulated using the sinefungin inhibitor, which we have previously reported to inhibit leukemia induction by MNX1.

Project description:<p>Aberrant DNA methylation changes are known to occur during prostate cancer progression beginning with precursor lesions. Utilizing fifty nanograms of genomic DNA in Methylplex-Next Generation Sequencing (M-NGS) we mapped the global DNA methylation patterns in prostate tissues (n=17) and cells (n=2). Peaks were located from mapped reads obtained in each sequencing run using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based algorithm previously used for Chip-Seq data analysis(<a href="http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/qin/HPeak">http://www.sph.umich.edu/csg/qin/HPeak</a>). The total methylation events in intergenic/intronic regions between benign adjacent and cancer tissues were comparable. Promoter CGI methylation gradually increased from -12.6% in benign samples to 19.3% and 21.8% in localized and metastatic cancer tissues and approximately 20% of all CpG islands (CGIs) (68,508) were methylated in tissues. We observed distinct patterns in promoter methylation around transcription start sites, where methylation occurred directly on the CGIs, flanking regions and on CGI sparse promoters. Among the 6,691 methylated promoters in prostate tissues, 2481 differentially methylated regions (DMRs) are cancer specific and several previously studied targets were among them. A novel cancer specific DMR in WFDC2 promoter showed 77% methylation in cancer (17/22), 100% methylation in transformed prostate cell lines (6/6), none in the benign tissues (0/10) and normal PrEC cells. Integration of LNCaP DNA methylation and H3K4me3 data suggested a role for DNA methylation in alternate transcription start site utilization. While methylated promoters containing CGIs had mutually exclusive H3K4me3 modification, the histone mark was absent in CGI sparse promoters. Finally, we observed difference in methylation of LINE-1 elements between transcription factor ERG positive and negative cancers. The comprehensive methylome map presented here will further our understanding of epigenetic regulation of the prostate cancer genome. Overall Design: We mapped the global DNA methylation patterns in prostate tissues (n=17) and cells (n=2) from fifty nanograms of genomic DNA using Methylplex-Next Generation Sequencing (M-NGS). For replicate analysis in cell lines, a total of 4 runs were completed for PrEC prostate normal cell line, and 5 runs were completed for LNCaP prostate cancer cell line. For tissue samples, 2 benign prostate samples were sequenced twice on Illumina next generation sequencing platform to access overall repeatability of M-NGS.</p>

Project description:Dramatic changes of gene expressions are known to occur in human endometrial stromal cells (ESC) during decidualization. The changes in gene expression are associated with changes of chromatin structure, which are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications. Here, we investigated genome-wide changes in histone modifications and mRNA expressions associated with decidualization in human ESC using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) combined with next-generation sequencing. ESC were incubated with estradiol and medroxyprogesterone acetate for 14 days to induce decidualization. The ChIP-sequence data showed that induction of decidualization increased H3K27ac and H3K4me3 signals in many genomic regions but decreased in only a few regions. Most (80%) of the H3K27ac-increased regions and half of the H3K4me3-increased regions were located in the distal promoter regions (more than 3 kb upstream or downstream of the transcription start site). RNA-sequence showed that induction of decidualization up-regulated 881 genes, 223 of which had H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions in the proximal and distal promoter regions. Induction of decidualization increased the mRNA levels of these genes more than it increased the mRNA levels of genes without H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions. Pathway analysis revealed that up-regulated genes with the H3K27ac- or H3K4me3-increased regions were associated with insulin signaling. These results show that histone modification statuses genome-widely change in human ESC by induction of decidualization. The main changes of histone modifications are increases of H3K27ac and H3K4me3 in both the proximal and distal promoter regions, which are involved in the up-regulation of gene expression that occurs during decidualization. Examination of 4 different histone modifications in human endometrial stromal cells with or without EP inductions for 2 individuals. (EP induction: induction with estradiol (10-8 M) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (10-6 M))
