Epigenetic reprogramming in pancreatic acinar cell in the absence of MIST1

ABSTRACT: Epigenetic profile of tissues is reprogrammed under diseased conditions. H3K4Me3 and H3K27Me3 represent active and repressive epigenetic marks, respectively. ChIP-seq is an effective tool to study global protein-DNA interactions. To study global epigenetic differences, we used H3K4Me3 antibody to evaluate its enrichment in pancreatic acinar cells of WT and Mist1-/- mice followed by next generation sequencing. We found specific hotspots that showed differential enrichment for H3K4Me3 both in WT and Mist1-/- mice. The data show that pancreatic acinar cells are epigenetically reprogrammed under stressed cellular conditions.

Project description:Although early developmental processes involve cell fate decisions that define the body axes and establish progenitor cell pools, development does not cease once cells are specified. Instead, most cells undergo specific maturation events where changes in the cell transcriptome ensure that the proper gene products are expressed to carry out unique physiological functions. Pancreatic acinar cells mature post-natally to handle an extensive protein synthetic load, establsih organized apical-basal polarity for zymogen granule trafficking, and assemble gap-junctions to perimt efficient cell-cell communication. Despite significant progress in defining transcriptional networks that control initial acinar cell specification and differentiation decisions, little is know regarding the role of transcription factors in the specification and maintenance of maturation events. One candidate maturation effector is MIST1, a secretory cell-restricted transcription factor that has been implicated in controlling regulated exocytosis events in a number of cell types. Embryonic knock-out of MIST1 generates acinar cells that fail to establish an apical-basal organization, fail to properly localize zymogen granule and fail to communicate intra-cellularly, making the exocrine organ highly suceptible to pancreatic diseases. In an effort to identify the gene expression differences responsible for MIST1 regulating mature acinar properties. We generated a tamoxifen-inducible mouse model where MIST1 expression could be activated in vivoand performed gene expression arrays on wildtype, MIST1-null, and induced MIST1 pancreatic RNA. RNA was isolated from pancreata of 8 week old mice using the Qiagen RNeasy Midi kit. Pancreta of wildtype, MIST1-null, and MIST1-null with a tamoxifen inducible MIST1-expressing transgene were harvested 36 hours post-tamoxifen administration. Therefore, this experiment provides information on steady-state gene expression differences between wildtype and MIST1-null mice as well as immediate gene expression changes induced by MIST1 expression.
