Establishment of Enhancer Repertoires that Orchestrate the Myeloid and Lymphoid Cell Fates (gene expression dataset 1)

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have documented genome-wide binding patterns of transcriptional regulators and their associated epigenetic marks in hematopoietic cell lineages. In order to determine how epigenetic marks are established and maintained during developmental progression, we have generated long-term cultures of hematopoietic progenitors by enforcing the expression of the E-protein antagonist Id2. Hematopoietic progenitors that express Id2 are multipotent and readily differentiate upon withdrawal of Id2 expression into committed B lineage cells, thus indicating a causative role for E2A in promoting the B cell fate. Genome-wide analyses revealed that a substantial fraction of lymphoid and myeloid enhancers are pre-marked by H3K4me1 in multipotent progenitors. However, H3K4me1 levels at a subset of enhancers are elevated during developmental progression, resulting in evolving enhancer repertoires that we propose orchestrate the myeloid and B cell fates.

However, H3K4me1 levels at a subset of enhancers are elevated during developmental progression, resulting in evolving enhancer repertoires that we propose orchestrate the myeloid and B cell fates. ChIP-Seq and gene expression profiling were performed in an inducible hematopoietic pluripotent cell line that can be differentiated into multiple lymphoid lineages. This submission contains gene expression profiling data. To compare the expression signatures from differentiated B- and myeloid-cells derived from hematopoietic progenitors that express Id2, Id2-HPCs were differentiated into either CD19+ B cells or CD11b+ myeloid cells. The gene expression profiles of differentiating B cells at 6-, 12-, 24-, 48-, 72-, 120-, and 240-hour time points were also investigated. RNA was isolated from the cultures and analyzed by microarray gene expression analysis. Id2-HPCs were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/β-me and IL7, Flt3-ligand, and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in a humidified incubator at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2. Id2-HPC expanded cells were depleted of small (<1-5%) numbers of CD19-, CD25- and CD11b-positive cells by auto-MACS. For myeloid differentiation, cells were cultured for up to 6 days in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/β-me and IL3, Flt3L, GMCSF and MCSF cytokines. To promote B-cell differentiation, cells were cultured for up to 10 days in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/β-me and IL-7 and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in the presence of 1 ug/mL doxycycline.

This submission contains ChIP-Seq data. Recent studies have demonstrated a tight correlation between transcriptionally active promoters and H3K4 trimethylation, whereas H3K4 monomethylation has been associated with enhancer activity. To determine whether the changes in gene expression patterns upon differentiation correlate with the presence of H3K4me3 as well as H3K4me1, ChIP-sequencing was performed on these two marks on cell lysates that were derived from Id2-HPCs and differentiated Id2-HPCs. The H3K4me1 marks were further analyzed to investigate the dynamics of enhancer repertoires between these cells. Id2-HPCs were cultured in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/M-NM-2-me and IL7, Flt3-ligand, and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in a humidified incubator at 37 degrees C with 5% CO2. Id2-HPC expanded cells were depleted of small (<1-5%) numbers of CD19-, CD25- and CD11b-positive cells by auto-MACS.

To promote B-cell differentiation, cells were cultured for up to 5 days in IMDM medium supplemented with 10% FCS/2% PSG/M-NM-2-me and IL-7 and SCF cytokines on S17 feeder cells in the presence of 1 ug/mL doxycycline, or alternatively, in alpha-MEM medium in the presence of cytokines and on Tst-4 stromal cells.

Project description:FOXA1 is a pioneer factor that is important in hormone dependent cancer cells to stabilise nuclear receptors, such as estrogen receptor (ER) to chromatin. FOXA1 binds to enhancers regions that are enriched in H3K4mono- and dimethylation (H3K4me1, H3K4me2) histone marks and evidence suggests that these marks are requisite events for FOXA1 to associate with enhancers to initate subsequent gene expression events. However, exogenous expression of FOXA1 has been shown to induce H3K4me1 and H3K4me2 signal at enhancer elements and the order of events and the functional importance of these events is not clear. We performed a FOXA1 Rapid Immunoprecipitation Mass Spectrometry of Endogenous Proteins (RIME) screen in ERα-positive MCF-7 breast cancer cells in order to identify FOXA1 interacting partners and we found histone-lysine N-methyltransferase (MLL3) as the top FOXA1 interacting protein. MLL3 is typically thought to induce H3K4me3 at promoter regions, but recent findings suggest it may contribute to H3K4me1 deposition, in line with our observation that MLL3 associates with an enhancer specific protein. We performed MLL3 ChIP-seq in breast cancer cells and unexpectedly found that MLL3 binds mostly at non-promoter regions enhancers, in contrast to the prevailing hypothesis. MLL3 was shown to occupy regions marked by FOXA1 occupancy and as expected, H3K4me1 and H3K4me2. MLL3 binding was dependent on FOXA1, indicating that FOXA1 recruits MLL3 to chromatin. Motif analysis and subsequent genomic mapping revealed a role for Grainy head like protein-2 (GRHL2) which was shown to co-occupy regions of the chromatin with MLL3. Regions occupied by all three factors, namely FOXA1, MLL3 and GRHL2, were most enriched in H3K4me1. MLL3 silencing decreased H3K4me1 at enhancer elements, but had no appreciable impact on H3K4me3 at enhancer elements. We identify a complex relationship between FOXA1, MLL3 and H3K4me1 at enhancers in breast cancer and propose a mechanism whereby the pioneer factor FOXA1 can interact with a chromatin modifier MLL3, recruiting it to chromatin to facilitate the deposition of H3K4me1 histone marks, subsequently demarcating active enhancer elements.
