EKLF/KLF1 coordinates specialized transcriptional networks required to maintain the integrity of terminal erythropoiesis

ABSTRACT: Erythroid Krüppel Like Factor (EKLF/ KLF1) is a C2H2 zinc finger transcription factor that plays a critical role in all aspects of erythropoiesis. Mutations in KLF1 lead to diverse phenotypes ranging from mild to severe anemias. Patients with a heterozygous E325K mutation (CDA type IV) exhibit impaired erythroid terminal differentiation and increased presence of binucleate erythroblasts. We previously showed that KLF1 is necessary for cell cycle exit and enucleation in mouse primary cells. In the current study we discovered that genes involved in cell motility, cell division, and mitotic pathways are all directly regulated by KLF1. Klf1-/- cells exhibit increased numbers of binucleated erythroblasts and DNA bridges, and differentiating Klf1-/- erythroblasts display an increased percentage of cytokinesis failure events and defective microtubule bundling. Klf1-/- erythroblasts produce frequent aberrant F-actin-rich membrane protrusions and anucleate cell fragments. Human CDA type IV cells exhibit similar patterns of dysregulation of cytokinesis and cell motility genes. Collectively, we show that KLF1 is necessary for maintaining the integrity of erythroid cell divisions by direct regulation of genes involved in cytokinesis and motility pathways during terminal erythroid differentiation.

Novel human cellular model of CDA IV enables comprehensive analysis revealing molecular basis of disease phenotype.

Project description:Red blood cell disorders can result in severe anemia. One such disease, congenital dyserythropoietic anemia IV (CDA IV) is caused by heterozygous mutation E325K in the transcription factor KLF1. However, studying the molecular basis of CDA IV is severely impeded by paucity of suitable and adequate quantities of material from anaemic patients and rarity of the disease. We therefore took a novel approach, creating a human cellular disease model system for CDA IV, which accurately recapitulates the disease phenotype. Next, using comparative proteomics we reveal extensive distortion of the proteome and a wide range of disordered biological processes in CDA IV erythroid cells. These include down-regulated pathways governing cell cycle, chromatin separation, DNA repair, cytokinesis, membrane trafficking and global transcription, and upregulated networks governing mitochondria biogenesis. The diversity of such pathways elucidates the spectrum of phenotypic abnormalities that occur with CDA IV and impairment to erythroid cell development and survival, collectively explaining the CDA IV disease phenotype. The data also reveal far more extensive involvement of KLF1 in previously assigned biological processes, along with novel roles in the regulation of intracellular processes not previously attributed to this transcription factor. Overall, the data demonstrate the power of such a model cellular system to unravel the molecular basis of disease and how studying effects of a rare mutation can reveal fundamental biology.

KLF1 null neonates display hydrops fetalis and a deranged erythroid transcriptome

Project description:We describe a case of severe neonatal anemia with kernicterus due to compound heterozygosity for null mutations in KLF1, each inherited from asymptomatic parents. One of the mutations is novel. This is the first described case of a KLF1 null human. The phenotype of severe DAT-negative non-spherocytic hemolytic anaemia (NSHA), jaundice, hepato-splenomegaly, and marked erythroblastosis is more severe than that present in CDA type IV due to dominant mutations in the second zinc-finger of KLF1. There was a very high level of HbF expression into childhood (>70%), consistent with a key role for KLF1 in human hemoglobin switching. We performed RNA-seq on circulating erythroblasts and found human KLF1 acts like mouse Klf1 to coordinate expression of many genes required to build a red cell including those encoding globins, cytoskeletal components, AHSP, heme synthesis enzymes, cell cycle regulators, and blood group antigens. We identify novel KLF1 target genes including KIF23 and KIF11 which are required for proper cytokinesis. We also identify new roles for KLF1 in autophagy, global transcriptional control and RNA splicing. We suggest loss of KLF1 should be considered in otherwise unexplained cases of severe neonatal NSHA or hydrops fetalis. mRNA sequencing on peripheral blood from a family trio (mother, father and proband) where parents were asymptomatic and proband had severe neonatal anemia.

RNA-sequencing comparing activation of wild-type transcription factor KLF1 with mutant KLF1 (KLF1-325K) in iPSC-derived macrophages.

Project description:Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia (CDA) type IV has been associated with an amino acid substitution, Glu325Lys (E325K), in the transcription factor KLF1. Patients with CDA type IV present with a range of symptoms, including the persistence of nucleated red blood cells (RBCs) in the peripheral blood which reflects the known role for KLF1 within the erythroid cell lineage. The final stages of RBCs maturation and enucleation take place within the erythroblastic island (EBI) niche in close association with EBI macrophages. It is not known whether the detrimental effects of the E325K mutation in KLF1 are restricted to the erythroid lineage or whether deficiencies in macrophages associated with their niche also contribute to the disease pathology. To address this question, we generated iPSC lines genetically modified to express a KLF1-E325K-ERT2 protein that could be activated with 4OH-tamoxifen. We performed bulk RNA-sequencing on macrophages generated from these iPSCs, macrophages generated from one KLF1-E325K-ERT2 iPSC line (iCDA4.1) was compared to macrophages generated from one inducible KLF1-WT-ERT2 (K2) iPSC line which was derived from the same parental iPSCs (SFCi55) as the KLF1-E325K-ERT2 line.

KLF1/EKLF regulatory networks in primary erythroid cells

Project description:KLF1 (EKLF) regulates a diverse suite of genes to direct erythroid cell differentiation from bi-potent progenitors. To determine the local cis-regulatory contexts and transcription factor networks in which KLF1 operates, we performed KLF1 ChIP-seq in the mouse. We found at least 945 sites in the genome of E14.5 fetal liver erythroid cells which are occupied by endogenous KLF1. Many of these recovered sites reside in erythroid gene promoters such as β-globin, but the majority are distant to any known gene. Our data suggests KLF1 directly regulates most aspects of terminal erythroid differentiation including production of α and β-globin protein chains, heme biosynthesis, co-ordination of proliferation and anti-apoptotic pathways, and construction of the red cell membrane and cytoskeleton by functioning primarily as a transcriptional activator. Additionally, we suggest new mechanisms for KLF1 co-operation with other transcription factors, in particular the erythroid transcription factor GATA1, to maintain homeostasis in the erythroid compartment. Examination of KLF1 occupancy in primary erythroid cells. KLF1-ChIP and input samples were run on AB SOLiD Systems 2.0 and 3.0. The genomic alignment files (*sorted.txt) and peak file (*bed) contain the combined System 2.0 and 3.0 data.

Modelling erythropoiesis in congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia type I (CDA-I) for diagnosis and molecular dissection.

Project description:Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anaemia type 1 (CDA-I) is an inherited anaemia arising primarily from mutations in C15orf41 and CDAN1, however the molecular mechanisms that cause the disease remain to be fully elucidated. We use an in vitro culture system to study multiple stages of erythropoiesis from CD34+ progenitors of patients with CDA-I. Applying a number of techniques, including ATAC-seq, we show that differentiation of CDA-I patient erythroblasts closely matches that of healthy donors during the early and intermediate stages of erythroid differentiation and maturation. However, a defect in terminal erythropoiesis can be observed in the CDA-I patient derived erythroblasts, resulting in a reduction in the number of enucleated erythroid cells.

RNA sequencing reveals global gene expression changes in response to codanin-1 knockdown in erythroid-committed cells

Project description:Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA-I) is an autosomal recessive disorder marked by ineffective erythropoiesis, abnormal morphology of bone marrow erythroblasts, and iron overload. Most cases of CDA-I are caused by mutations in the CDAN1 gene, which encodes for a ubiquitous protein of unknown function, codanin-1. To study the function of codanin-1 in CDA-I erythroid pathophysiology several erythroid models were developed. Here we show that codanin-1 expression is required for erythroid progenitor development and normal erythroid cell differentiation. Erythroid cells lacking codanin-1 demonstrated morphologic changes similar to that observed in CDA-I. Global gene expression changes after codanin-1 knockdown revealed alterations in a set of key erythroid genes. In particular, the AHSP gene, which showed decreased mRNA expression after codanin-1 knockdown in CD34+ cells, also demonstrated increased codanin-1 occupancy at its gene regulatory region by chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled to high-throughput sequencing. Using cell models recapitulating many features of CDA-I, we have confirmed the importance of codanin-1 during erythroid differentiation and provide mechanistic insight into how loss of codanin-1 expression results in CDA-I.
