Inhibition of the SETD8 H4K20-mono-methyltransferase Limits the Global Accessibility of the Infecting Herpes Simplex Virus Genome [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic modulation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) immediate early (IE) genes is a critical regulatory parameter governing lytic infection, latency, and viral reactivation. Multiple factors, including epigenetic complexes associated with the cellular transcriptional coactivator HCF-1, modulate the state of HSV-1 chromatin. As an approach to identify novel epigenetic factors that regulate the initial stage of HSV-1 infection, an epigenetic chemical probe library was screened for their impact on viral IE gene expression. This screen identified several epigenetic inhibitors that modulated IE expression. Notably, UNC0379, an inhibitor of the histone H4K20 mono-methyltransferase SETD8, potently repressed HSV-1 infection in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, SETD8 inhibition suppressed HSV-1 reactivation in a mouse ganglia explant model. Importantly, these results correlated with enhanced heterochromatin suppression and decreased accessibility of HSV-1 chromatin. Reduced IE transcription was concomitant with disruption in recruitment of HCF-1 and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). These results are consistent with the established roles of SETD8 in promoting chromatin accessibility through H4K20me1 deposition and regulating transcriptional elongation, suggesting that SETD8 may facilitate multiple steps in regulation of HSV-1 IE gene expression.

The histone methyltransferase Setd8 represses Gata2 expression and regulates erythroid maturation

Project description:The chromatin modifying enzymes that drive the erythroid-specific transcription program are incompletely understood. Setd8 is the sole histone methyltransferase in mammals capable of generating mono-methylated histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20me1) and is expressed at significantly higher levels in erythroid cells than any other cell- or tissue- type, suggesting that Setd8 has an erythroid-specific function. To test this hypothesis, stable knockdown of Setd8 was established in extensively self-renewing erythroblasts (ESREs), a well-characterized, non-transformed, model of erythroid maturation. Setd8 knockdown impaired erythroid maturation, characterized by a delay in hemoglobin accumulation, larger cell area, persistent kit expression, incomplete nuclear condensation, and lower rates of enucleation than control cells. Setd8 knockdown did not alter ESRE proliferation or viability, or result in accumulation of DNA damage. Global gene expression analyses following Setd8 knockdown suggests that in erythroid cells, Setd8 functions primarily as a repressor and demonstrated high levels of Gata2 expression. Setd8 occupies critical regulatory elements in the Gata2 locus, and knockdown of Setd8 resulted in loss of H4K20me1 and gain of H4 acetylation at the Gata2 1S promoter. Taken together, these results imply that Setd8 is an important regulator of erythroid maturation that works in part through repression of Gata2. RNA-seq was performed of Setd8 knockdown and control cells, both while the cells were proliferating, and after 6 hours of maturation.

Interferon Dependent Immune Memory during HSV-1 Neuronal Latency via Increased H3K9me3 and Restriction by ATRX

Project description:Herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) establishes a latent infection in neurons, periodically reactivating to cause disease. Neuronal conditions, including immune signaling, during initial HSV-1 infection, impact later reactivation. Type I interferon (IFNα) exposure during initial infection results in promyelocytic leukemia nuclear-body (PML-NB) formation and subsequent restriction of reactivation, via mechanisms that were unknown. Here we find that PML-NB formation results in the recruitment of histone chaperones to the viral genome and increased enrichment of the repressive heterochromatin mark, histone H3 lysine 9 tri-methylation (H3K9me3), and its reader, ATRX (alpha-thalassemia/mental retardation, X-linked). ATRX is highly abundant in neurons and prevents reactivation from H3K9me3-bound latent genomes by remaining associated with viral chromatin. Therefore, we demonstrate how immune signaling during initial infection results in an epigenetic memory on HSV-1 genomes and identify ATRX as a neuronal restriction factor against HSV-1 reactivation, elucidating a new potential target for inhibiting HSV-1 reactivation and subsequent human disease.

SetD8 Knockdown in M-CM-^_-estradiol-treated (24 h) G1E-ER-GATA-1 cells

Project description:The establishment and maintenance of cell type-specific transcriptional programs require an ensemble of broadly expressed chromatin remodeling and modifying enzymes. Many questions remain unanswered regarding the contributions of these enzymes to specialized genetic networks that control critical processes such as lineage commitment and cellular differentiation. We have been addressing this problem in the context of erythrocyte development driven by the transcription factor GATA-1 and its coregulator Friend of GATA-1 (FOG-1). As certain GATA-1 target genes have little to no FOG-1 requirement for expression, presumably additional coregulators can mediate GATA-1 function. Using a genetic complementation assay and RNA interference in GATA-1-null cells, we demonstrate a vital link between GATA-1 and the histone H4 lysine 20 methyltransferase PR-Set7/SetD8 (SetD8). GATA-1 selectively induced H4 monomethylated lysine 20 at repressed, but not activated, loci, and endogenous SetD8 mediated GATA-1-dependent repression of a cohort of its target genes. GATA-1 utilized different combinations of SetD8, FOG-1, and the FOG-1-interacting Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex component Mi2b to repress distinct target genes. Implicating SetD8 as a context-dependent GATA-1 corepressor expands the repertoire of coregulators mediating establishment/maintenance of the erythroid cell genetic network and provides a biological framework for dissecting the cell type-specific functions of this important coregulator. We propose a coregulator matrix model in which distinct combinations of chromatin regulators are required at different GATA-1 target genes, and the unique attributes of the target loci mandate these combinations. 3 SetD8 knockdown samples were compared to 3 control samples

Development of novel chemical inhibitors of SETD8

Project description:SETD8 is a histone methyltransferase that catalyzes the monomethylation of histone H4K20. Overexpressed in cancer, several studies have suggested that it could be a potential target for treatment in certain tumors. However, there are currently very few SETD8 inhibitors, and all of them have bad pharmacological properties. Based on previously published structures of SETD8 bound to an H4K20me peptide, we have discovered a new chemical series of SETD8 inhibitors. As part of the characterization of these molecules, we conducted Thermal Proteome Profiling, aiming to discover potential additional targets as well as a better understanding of the signaling pathways that are affected by the drug.

Histone lysine methyltransferase Pr-set7/SETD8 promotes neural stem cell reactivation

Project description:The ability of neural stem cells (NSCs) to switch between quiescence and proliferation is crucial for brain development and homeostasis. Increasing evidence suggest that variants of histone lysine methyltransferases including KMT5A are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. However, the function of KMT5A/Pr-set7/SETD8 in the central nervous system is not well established. Here, we show that Drosophila Pr-Set7 is a novel regulator of NSC reactivation. Loss-of-function of pr-set7 causes a delay in NSC reactivation and loss of H4K20 monomethylation in the brain. Through NSC-specific in vivo profiling, we demonstrate that Pr-set7 binds to the promoter region of cyclin dependent kinase 1 (cdk1) and Wnt pathway transcriptional co-activator earthbound1/jerky (ebd1). Further validation indicates that Pr-set7 is required for the expression of cdk1 and ebd1 in the brain. Similar to Pr-set7, Cdk1 and Ebd1 promote NSC reactivation. Moreover, Cdk1 upregulates the Ebd1 levels in NSCs, while Ebd1 appears to downregulate Cdk1 expression, suggesting a negative feedback regulation. Finally, overexpression of Cdk1 and Ebd1 significantly suppressed NSC reactivation defects observed in pr-set7-depleted brains. Therefore, Pr-set7, the sole H4K20 methyltransferase, promotes NSC reactivation through regulating Wnt signaling and cell-cycle progression. Given the conservation of Pr-set7, our findings may contribute to the understanding of mammalian KMT5A/PR-SET7/SETD8 in NSC proliferation and associated neurodevelopmental disorders.

SGSS05-NS3 as a potent SETD8 inhibitor that activates p53 pathway in Neuroblastoma

Project description:Purpose: The intergration of genetic and chemical screens identified SETD8 as a new druggable target in neuroblastoma tumor. The goal of this study is to evaluate the transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of Neuroblastoma cell lines after genetic and pharmacological inhibition of SETD8. Methods: mRNA profiles of NB cells after genetic and pharmacological inhibition of SETD8 were generated by deep sequencing in duplicate with Ilumina HiSeq2500 using Illumina TruSeq V4. The sequence reads were analyzed with software Trimmomatic, STAR and edgeR to determine the differetially expressed genes. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays. Results: About 60 million sequence reads per sample were mapped to the human genome (hg19). Approximately 10% of the transcripts showed differential expression between the control and the treated samples, with a fold change ≥1.5 and p value <0.05. Altered expression of 12 genes was confirmed with qRT–PCR, demonstrating the high degree of sensitivity of the RNA-seq method. Hierarchical clustering of differentially expressed genes uncovered several as yet uncharacterized genes that may contribute to SETD8 function. Conclusions: Our study identifies SETD8 as a new therapeutic target in Neuroblastoma tumor. RNA-seq transcriptome analyses and functional studies revealed that SETD8 ablation rescued the proapoptotic and cell-cycle arrest functions of p53 through reactivation of the p53 canonical pathway by decreasing p53k382me1.

The histone methyltransferase Setd8 alters the chromatin landscape and regulates the expression of key transcription factorsduring erythroid differentiation

Project description:SETD8 is the sole methyltransferase capable of mono-methylating histone H4, lysine 20. SETD8 is highly expressed in erythroid cells and erythroid deletion of Setd8 is embryonic lethal by embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5) due to profound anemia, suggesting it has an erythroid-specific function. To gain insights into the function of SETD8 during erythroid differentiation, we performed ATAC-seq on sorted populations of E10.5 Setd8 null and control erythroblasts. Accessibility profiles were integrated with expression changes and a mark of heterochromatin (H3K27me3) performed in wild type E10.5 erythroblasts to further understand the role of SETD8 in erythropoiesis. Data integration identified regions of greater chromatin accessibility in Setd8 null cells that co-located with H3K27me3 in wild type E10.5 erythroblasts suggesting that these regions, and their associated genes, are repressed during normal erythropoiesis. Pathway analysis of genes identified through data integration revealed stemness-related pathways. Among those genes were multiple transcriptional regulators active in multipotent progenitors but repressed during erythroid differentiation including Hhex, Hlx, and Gata2. Consistent with a role for SETD8 in erythroid specification, SETD8 expression is upregulated upon erythroid commitment, and Setd8 disruption impairs erythroid colony forming ability. Taken together, our results suggest that Setd8 is important for the establishment of appropriate patterns of gene expression during erythroid differentiation.
