Tet2 facilitates the de-repression of myeloid target genes during C/EBPa induced transdifferentiation of pre-B cells

ABSTRACT: Tet2 is an enzyme that hydroxylates methylated cytosines and has been implicated in hematopoietic differentiation and the formation of myeloid malignancies when mutated. An ideal system to study the role of Tet2 in myelopoeisis is C/EBPa induced transdifferentiation of pre-B cells into macrophages, where many myeloid genes become rapidly upregulated. Here we found that C/EBPa binds to upstream regions of Tet2 and that the gene becomes activated. Tet2 knockdowns impaired the upregulation of macrophage markers as well as phagocytic capacity, suggesting that the enzyme is required for both early and late stages of myeloid differentiation. A slightly weaker effect was seen in primary cells with a Tet2 ablation. Expression arrays of transdifferentiating cells with Tet2 knockdowns permitted the identification of a small subset of myeloid genes whose upregulation was blunted. Activation of these target genes was accompanied by a rapid increase of promoter hydroxy-methylation. Our observations indicate that Tet2 helps C/EBPa to rapidly de-repress myeloid genes during the conversion of pre-B cells into macrophages.

Our observations indicate that Tet2 helps C/EBPa to rapidly de-repress myeloid genes during the conversion of pre-B cells into macrophages. Gene expression was measured in a control and Tet2kd mouse preB cell line (called Haftl) harboring an inducible form of C/EBPa. Expression was measured in starting cells and cells induced to transdifferentiate into macrophage-like cells for 24 hours. Technical duplicates for each treatment and time were assayed.

Sox4 is a key oncogenic target in C/EBPa mutant Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Mutation or epigenetic silencing of the transcription factor C/EBPa is observed in ~10% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In both cases, a common global gene expression profile is observed, but down-stream targets relevant for leukemogenesis are not known. Here we identify Sox4 as a direct target of C/EBPa whereby its expression is inversely correlated with C/EBPa activity. Downregulation of Sox4 abrogated increased self-renewal of leukemic cells and restored their differentiation. Gene expression profiles of leukemia initiating cells (LICs) from both Sox4 overexpression and murine mutant C/EBPa AML models clustered together, but differed from other types of AML. Our data demonstrate that Sox4 overexpression resulting from C/EBPa inactivation contributes to the development of leukemias with a distinct LIC phenotype. A ChIP-seq sample of C/EBPa in Macrophages is used in this study

C/EBPa controls acquisition and maintenance of adult hematopoietic stem cell quiescence

Project description:In blood, the transcription factor C/EBPa is essential for myeloid differentiation and has been implicated in regulating self-renewal of fetal liver hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). However, its function in adult HSCs is unknown. Here, using an inducible knockout model, we found that C/EBPa deficient adult HSCs underwent a pronounced expansion with enhanced proliferation, characteristics resembling fetal liver HSCs. Consistently, transcription profiling of C/EBPa deficient HSCs revealed a gene expression program similar to fetal liver HSCs. Moreover we observed that age-specific C/EBPa expression correlated with its inhibitory effect on the HSC cell cycle. Mechanistically, we identified N-Myc as a C/EBPa downstream target. C/EBPa upregulation during HSC transition from an active fetal state to a quiescent adult state was accompanied by down-regulation of N-Myc, and loss of C/EBPa resulted in de-repression of NMyc. Our data establish that C/EBPa acts as a molecular switch between fetal and adult states of HSC in part via transcriptional repression of the proto-oncogene N-Myc.

C/EBPa gene signature

Project description:We defined the C/EBPa signature characterized by a set of genes which are upregulated upon C/EBPa activation. In order to identify the C/EBPa signature, we performed microarray gene expression analysis of K562 cells stably expressing p42-C/EBPa-ER after activating the C/EBPa construct to translocate to the nucleus for 6 hours with beta-estradiol. The gene expression profile was performed in K562 p42-C/EBPa-ER expressing cells treated with beta-estradiol (n=4) or EtOH vehicle control (n-4) for 6 hours. Induction of nuclear localization of C/EBPa-ER fusion protein was achieved by addition of 1 uM beta-estradiol as indicated into the culture medium.

C/EBPa is required for self-renewal, lineage priming and maintenance of epigenetic configurations in hematopoietic stem cells

Project description:Transcription factors are key regulators of hematopoieticstem cells (HSCs) and act through their ability to bind DNA andimpact on gene transcription. Their functions are interpreted inthe complex landscape of chromatin but current knowledge on howthis is achieved is very limited. C/EBPa is an importanttranscriptional regulator of hematopoiesis, but its potentialfunctions in HSCs have remained elusive. Here we report that C/EBPaserves to protect adult HSCs from apoptosis and to maintain theirquiescent state. Consequently, deletion of Cebpa is associatedwith loss of self-renewal and HSC exhaustion. By combining geneexpression analysis with genome-wide assessment of C/EBPa bindingand epigenetic configurations, we show that C/EBPa acts tomodulate the epigenetic states of genes belonging to molecularpathways important for HSC function. Moreover, we demonstrate thatC/EBPa acts as a priming factor at the HSC level to activelypromote myeloid differentiation and counteract lymphoid lineagechoice. Taken together our results show that C/EBPa is a keyregulator of HSC biology, which influences the epigeneticlandscape of HSCs in order to balance different cell fate options. C/EBPaplha binding was assesed in heamatopoietic stem- and progenitor cells (LSK) and in myeloid progenitor cells (GMP) using ChIP-seq

Combined mutation of C/EBPa and GATA-2 induce bi-lineage acute erythroid leukemia through transformation of a neomorphic neutrophil-erythroid progenitor [ATAC-seq]

Project description:Acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) most commonly involves transformation of both the myeloid and erythroid lineages. However, the mutations that cause AEL and the nature of the transformed cell that sustains the bi-lineage leukemia phenotype remain unknown. We here show that combined bi-alleCD45.2+LKFcgRII/III+CD55- C/EBPa and GATA-2 zinc finger 1 (ZnF1) mutations are sufficient to induce bi-lineage AEL, and that the leukemia-initiating cell has a Lin–Sca-1–c-Kit+CD150–FcyRII/III+ surface phenotype, consistent with a committed myeloid progenitor. However, we find that in the presence of bi-alleCD45.2+LKFcgRII/III+CD55- C/EBPa mutation this cell population acquires ectopic erythroid gene expression and lineage potential, leading to the formation of neomorphic neutrophil-erythroid lineage progenitors, which upon transformation generate the bi-lineage leukemia-initiating cell. These results identify C/EBPa and GATA-2 ZnF1 mutations as causative of AEL, and demonstrate that transcriptional reprogramming by a leukemia-initiating mutation can re-define the lineage output of the resulting leukemia-initiating cells.
