CFP1 promotes germinal center affinity maturation and restrains and memory B cell differentiation through H3K4me3 modulation

ABSTRACT: Affinity maturation and differentiation of B cells in the germinal center (GC) are tightly controlled by epigenetically regulated transcription programs but the underlying mechanisms are only partially understood. Here we show that CFP1, an integral component of the histone methyltransferase complex Set1A/B, is critically required for GC responses. CFP1 deficiency in activated B cells greatly impairs GC formation with diminished proliferation, somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. Mechanistically, CFP1 deletion reduces H3K4me3 marks at a subset of cell cycle and GC-related genes and impairs their transcription. Importantly, CFP1 promotes the expression of transcription factors MEF2B and OCA-B and the Bcl6 enhancer-promoter looping for its efficient induction. Accordingly, CFP1-deficient GCB cells upregulate IRF4 and preferentially differentiate into plasmablasts. Furthermore, CFP1 ablation upregulates a panel of pre-memory genes with elevated H3K4me3 and leads to markedly expanded memory B populations. In summary, our study reveals that CFP1-safeguarded epigenetic regulation ensures proper dynamics of GCB cells for affinity maturation and prevents the pre-mature exit from GC as memory cells.

CXXC zinc finger protein 1 (Cfp1) controls cardiomyocyte maturation by modifying histone H3K4me3 of structural, metabolic, and contractile related genes

Project description:Cardiomyocyte maturation is the final stage of heart development, and abnormal cardiomyocyte maturation will lead to serious heart diseases. CXXC zinc finger protein 1 (Cfp1) is an important epigenetic factor, which plays an essential role in the development and maturation of multi-lineage cells, while its effect on the maturation of cardiomyocyte remains unclear. This study was performed to explore the potential role of Cfp1 in cardiomyocyte maturation of heart and the underlying mechanisms. Cardiomyocyte-specific Cfp1 knockout (Cfp1-cKO) mice died within 4 weeks of birth. Cardiomyocytes from Cfp1-cKO mice showed an inhibited maturation phenotype in structure, metabolism, contractile function, and cell cycle, accompanied by down-regulation of adult genes and up-regulation of fetal genes. In contrast, cardiomyocyte-specific Cfp1 transgenic (Cfp1-TG) mice and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) overexpressing Cfp1 showed a more mature phenotype. Mechanistically, deficiency of Cfp1 results in reduced trimethylation on lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) modification and formation of ectopic H3K4me3. Moreover, Cfp1 deletion decreased the level of H3K4me3 modification in adult genes and increased the level of H3K4me3 modification in fetal genes. Collectively, Cfp1 modulates the expression of cardiomyocyte maturation related genes by modulating histone H3K4me3 modification, which in turn regulates cardiomyocyte maturation. This study implicates Cfp1 as an important molecule regulating cardiomyocyte maturation, and its dysfunction is strongly associated with cardiac disease.

Cfp1 is required for accurate H3K4me3 deposition in mouse ES cells

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is a mark of active and poised promoters. The Set1 complex is responsible for most somatic H3K4me3 and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which binds to unmethylated CpGs and links H3K4me3 with CpG islands (CGIs). Here we report that Cfp1 plays unanticipated roles in organising genome wide H3K4me3 in embryonic stem cells. Cfp1-deficiency caused two contrasting phenotypes: drastic loss of H3K4me3 at expressed CGI-associated genes, with minimal consequences for transcription, and creation of ectopic H3K4me3 peaks at numerous regulatory regions. DNA binding by Cfp1 was dispensable for targeting H3K4me3 to active genes, but was required to prevent ectopic H3K4me3 peaks. We analysed gene expression in wild-type, Cfp1-/-, Cfp1wt rescue and Cfp1C169A rescue ES cells on the MouseWG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChip (Illumina). We found that the presence of ectopic peaks at enhancers often coincided with increased expression of nearby genes. This suggests that CpG targeting prevents leakage of H3K4me3 to inappropriate chromatin compartments. Our results demonstrate that Cfp1 is a specificity factor that integrates multiple signals, including promoter CpG content and gene activity, to regulate genome-wide patterns of H3K4me3.

CFP1 Regulates Histone H3K4 Trimethylation and Developmental Potential in Mouse Oocytes

Project description:Through RNA-seq of wildtype and CFP1-deleted GV oocytes of different ages, zygotes and 2-cell embryos and whole genome bisulfite sequencing of GV oocytes, We show here that CFP1 is responsible for epigenetic maturation in oocytes. Deletion of CFP1 directly decreased histone H3K4 trimethylation and caused global down-regulation of gene expression in oocytes.These genes are involved in cytoplasmic lattice formation, maternal-zygotic transition and epigenetic maturation. Maternal CFP1-deleted oocytes had fewer CPLs in the cytoplasm and the organelles were severely aggregated, which further caused defects in α-tubulin polymerization and aneuploidy in meiosis II. The genome was less methylated and methylation of maternal DNA was impaired after CFP1 deletion. Therefore CFP1-deleted oocytes fail to complete epigenetic maturation as well as cytoplasmic maturation and nuclear maturation and unable to gain developmental competence during oogenesis.

Genome-wide maps of CFP1, RNA Polymerase II and H3K4me3 in mouse brain.

Project description:We report the application of single molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput mapping of CFP1, RNA polymerase II and H3K4me3 in mouse brain. By obtaining sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide binding / chromatin-state maps for mouse brain. We find a good correlation between CFP1 binding and H3K4me3 consistent with it presence in the SetD1 histone methylatransferase complex. Mapped RNA polymerase II colocalised with the majority of CFP1 / H3K4me3 positive CpG islands but not all. This study provides a comprehensive characterisation of the genome wide distribution of a previously uncharacaterised DNA binding factor and suggests a link between DNA base composition and chromatin state. Examination of H3K4me3, RNA PolymeraseII and CFP1 in mouse brain.

Cfp1 is required for gene expression dependent H3K4me3 and H3K9 acetylation in embryonic stem cells (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) accumulates at promoters in a gene activity dependant manner. The Set1 complex is responsible for most H3K4me3 in somatic cells and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which is implicated in targeting the Set1 complex to CpG islands in mammals. In mouse embryonic stem cells, Cfp1 is necessary for H3K4me3 accumulation at constitutively active gene promoters, but is not required to maintain steady-state transcription of the associated gene. Here we show that Cfp1 is instrumental for targeting H3K4me3 at promoters upon rapid transcriptional induction in response to external stimuli. Surprisingly, H3K4me3 accumulation is not required to ensure appropriate transcriptional output but rather plays gene specific roles. We also show that Cfp1 dependant H3K4me3 deposition contributes to H3K9 acetylation genome wide; suggesting that Cfp1 dependant H3K4me3 regulates overall H3K9 acetylation dynamics and is necessary for histone acetyl transferase recruitment. Finally, we observe increased antisense transcription at start and end of genes that requires Cfp1 for accurate H3K4me3 and H3K9ac deposition. Our results assign a key role for Cfp1 in establishing a complex active promoter chromatin state and shed light on how chromatin signalling pathways provide context dependant outcomes.
