Lamin A/C maintains genome topology and regulates transcriptional programs essential for virus-driven B cell activation. [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Lamin A/C is a crucial structural component of the nuclear lamina that influences chromatin organization and gene regulation. In this study, we demonstrate that lamin A/C is vital for maintaining higher-order genome organization and transcriptional programs that support EBV-driven B-cell activation. Loss of lamin A/C in a B-lymphoblastoid cell line caused significant three-dimensional reorganization of the genome, evidenced by the loss of long-range chromatin loops, an increase in short-range contacts, and redistribution of H3K9me2- marked heterochromatin. These structural disruptions were linked to widespread changes in gene expression affecting metabolic, signaling, and differentiation pathways. Mechanistically, lamin A/C influences the nuclear positioning and transcription of CTCF-bound loci by preventing their relocation to the periphery and their association with lamin B1. Blocking H3K9me2 deposition mimicked the transcriptional effects of lamin A/C depletion and revealed increased sensitivity to PI3K inhibitors. Overall, our results identify lamin A/C as a key organizer of genome structure and epigenetic regulation in EBV-infected B cells, uncovering a lamin-dependent pathway that connects nuclear architecture, metabolism, and viral disease processes.

Recruitment to the nuclear periphery enhances repression of H3K9me2-marked genes and transposons to shape cell fate [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Heterochromatic loci marked by histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) are enriched at the nuclear periphery in metazoans, but the functional importance of this organization is unknown. Both the nuclear lamins and the nuclear membrane protein lamin B receptor (LBR) have been linked to heterochromatin positioning in mammals, yet embryonic stem cells (mESCs) lacking all lamins retain both LBR and H3K9me2 at the nuclear periphery. We ablated LBR in this context and show that heterochromatin detaches from the nuclear periphery in lamin + LBR quadruple knockout (QKO) cells. QKO mESCs sustain naïve pluripotency and maintain H3K9me2 at normal levels across the genome but cannot repress H3K9me2-marked genes or transposons. Further, their capacity to differentiate into epiblast-like cells (EpiLCs) is impaired. While normal EpiLCs expand H3K9me2 across the genome, QKO EpiLCs exhibit abnormal patterning of this mark. QKO cells can exit naïve pluripotency and activate epiblast-stage genes but also express markers of alternative fates including the primitive endoderm. These results establish that recruitment of H3K9me2 to the nuclear periphery controls the spatial position, dynamic remodeling, and repressive capacity of this mark to shape cell fate decisions.

Nuclear Lamina binds the EBV genome during latency and regulates viral gene expression [RNA-seq]

Project description:Approximately 90% of the world population is infected with EBV and carries the virus in a silent, asymptomatic state for life. In immunocompromised individuals, EBV infection can cause B-cell transformation and malignancies. One approach to control EBV infectivity is by changing the expression of viral genes. We are interested in how epigenetics contributes to regulating the gene expression patterns adopted by EBV during latency. The host’s hijacking is a well know strategy adopted by viruses to modify the epigenome, the trascriptome and the proteome of the host with the aim to survive and remain silent in the host. We observed that in B cells, EBV infection mimics antigen-mediated activation, resulting in the induction of specific proteins named Lamin A/C. Lamins have multiple and central roles they: provide nuclear physical support; anchor the heterochromatin to the nuclear periphery and seem to play a role in several nuclear functions requing the chromatin structure rearrangement. The interaction with lamins has already been study in the context of EBV lytic reactivation, but their role in the control of the EBV latency states and as epigenetic regulators of different EBV genes expression profiles as not been investigated. The binding of the Lamin AC to important regulatory regions of EBV genome was assessed through ChIP-Seq and, and gene expression (RNA-Seq) profiles, were evaluated in wild type and Lamin AC KO cell lines. Differences in protein and RNA expressions in B cells activated by using both EBV and a simulation of the immune response were analyzed. Our data suggest two main conclusion: lamins might contribute to the epigenetic control of EBV genes expression during latency changing the interaction of the host structural proteins with key regulatory regions in the viral genome and a possible mechanism with who EBV modifies the nucleus and hijacks cellular mechanisms.

T. Brucei, Nup-1 Depletion

Project description:Organization of the genome into compacted chromatin is a eukaryotic innovation facilitating increased sophistication in transcriptional regulation. In metazoa coiled-coil lamin proteins are major components of the chromatin organizer at the nuclear periphery and maintain nuclear integrity. While identifiable lamin homologues are restricted to metazoans, morphologically analogous structures maintaining nuclear organization in other eukaryotic lineages are known, but the molecular constituents remain undefined. Trypanosoma brucei NUP-1 is a large coiled-coil protein associated with fibrils at the inner face of the nuclear envelope. Using transcriptome analysis in combination with RNA interference and various imaging techniques, we demonstrate that NUP-1 forms a stable immobile cage around the nucleus, is required for viability and nuclear structural integrity, directs the positional organization of nuclear pore complexes, and serves to organize chromatin and specifically repress genes located at the nuclear periphery involved in immune evasion. Based on architectural similarity and functionality, we propose that NUP-1 is a novel, highly divergent lamin The effect of Nup-1 depletion on the transcriptome was examined in three independent experiments (A, B, & C). T. brucei cultures were either treated with RNAi (plus) or left untreated (minus) and RNA was extracted from each sample at the indicated time point (0h, 6h, 12h, 24h, or 48h). Two color microarrays were performed comparing treated and untreated samples at each time point. Dye swaps were performed and are indicated. Replicates of t=12h and t=24h for sample B were also included.

Beyond A and B Compartments: how major nuclear locales define nuclear genome organization and function.

Project description:Models of nuclear genome organization often propose a binary division into active versus inactive compartments yet typically overlook nuclear bodies. Here we integrated analysis of sequencing and image-based data to compare genome organization in four human cell types relative to three different nuclear locales: the nuclear lamina, nuclear speckles, and nucleoli. Whereas gene expression correlates mostly with nuclear speckle proximity, DNA replication timing correlates with proximity to multiple nuclear locales. Speckle attachment regions emerge as DNA replication initiation zones whose replication timing and gene composition vary with their attachment frequency. Most facultative LADs retain a partially repressed state as iLADs, despite their positioning in the nuclear interior. Knock out of two lamina proteins, Lamin A and LBR, causes a shift of H3K9me3-enriched LADs from lamina to nucleolus, and a reciprocal relocation of H3K27me3-enriched partially repressed iLADs from nucleolus to lamina. Thus, these partially repressed iLADs appear to compete with LADs for nuclear lamina attachment with consequences for replication timing. The nuclear organization in adherent cells is polarized with nuclear bodies and genomic regions segregating both radially and relative to the equatorial plane. Together, our results underscore the importance of considering genome organization relative to nuclear locales for a more complete understanding of the spatial and functional organization of the human genome.
