Global Trabscriptome Analaysis Reveals that Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1 Regulates Gene Expression through EZH2

ABSTRACT: Post-translational modifications, such as poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation (PARylation), regulate chromatin-modifying enzymes, ultimately affecting gene expression. This study explores the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) on global gene expression in a lymphoblastoid B cell line. We found that inhibition of PARP catalytic activity with olaparib resulted in global gene deregulation, affecting approximately 11% of genes expressed. Gene ontology analysis revealed that PARP could exert these effects through transcription factors and chromatin-remodeling enzymes, including the Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) member EZH2. EZH2 mediates the trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a modification associated with chromatin compaction and gene silencing. Both pharmacological inhibition of PARP and knockdown of PARP1 induced the expression of EZH2 that resulted in increased global H3K27me3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed that PARP1 inhibition led to H3K27me3 deposition at EZH2-target genes, which resulted in gene silencing. Moreover, increased EZH2 expression is attributed to occupancy loss of the transcription repressor E2F4 at the EZH2 promoter following PARP inhibition. Together, these data show that PARP plays an important role in global gene regulation and identifies for the first time a direct role of PARP1 in regulating the expression and function of EZH2.

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) establishes life-long latency in human B-cells by maintaining its chromatinized episomes within the nucleus. These circularized mini-chromosomes do not integrate into the host genome. Therefore, it is essential for EBV to organize its chromatin in a manner suitable for genomic stability, DNA replication, and efficient gene expression. Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) activity is significantly higher in B-cells infected with EBV than those without, and considerably higher in the transcriptionally active type III latency compared to the immunoevasive type I. In addition to its role in DNA damage response, PARP1 has been implicated in transcriptional regulation and structural maintenance of both the human and EBV genome at specific regions. To better understand PARP1's role in the regulation of the EBV episome, we have functionally characterized the effect of PARP enzymatic inhibition on total episomal structure through in situ Hi-C mapping, generating the first complete 3D structure of the EBV genome. We have also mapped intragenomic contact changes after PARP inhibition to global binding of the chromatin looping factors CTCF and cohesin across the EBV genome. Additionally, PARP inhibition was shown to alter gene expression at the regions where chromatin looping was most effected. Finally, we have identified a novel function of PARP, which regulates cohesin complex chromatin binding. In conclusion, PARP1 inhibition does not alter the location of cohesin binding but does increase its frequency of binding at these regions. Despite this, there are fewer overall unique intragenomic interactions after PARP inhibition, while some areas have new chromatin loops not seen in the untreated EBV episome, leading us to conclude that PARP does have an essential role in the regulation of global EBV chromatin structure. The altered expression profile after the structural rearrangement induced by PARP inhibition also supports the idea that PARP1 helps maintain EBV latency programs.
