Reprogramming by de-bookmarking somatic transcriptional program via targeting the BET bromodomains

ABSTRACT: One critical task in pluripotent reprogramming is to erase the somatic transcriptional program of starting cells. No strategy or theory exists for achieving erasure of somatic gene expression memory. Here, we present a proof-of-principle strategy in which reprogramming to pluripotency is facilitated by small molecules that erase somatic cell transcription memory. We show that mild chemical targeting of the acetyllysine-binding pockets of the BET bromodomains, the transcriptional bookmarking domains, robustly enhances reprogramming. Furthermore, we show that chemical targeting of the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains dramatically downregulates specific somatic gene expression programs in both naïve and reprogramming fibroblasts. Chemical blocking of the BET bromodomains also resulted in loss of fibroblast morphology early in reprograming. In this study, we experimentally demonstrate a concept for cell fate conversion: facilitating the conversion by chemically targeting the transcriptional bookmarking BET bromodomains responsible for transcriptional memory.

Small-molecule inhibitor JQ1 effect on multiple myeloma cell lines

Project description:Pathologic activation of c-Myc plays a central role in pathogenesis of several neoplasias, including multiple myeloma. However, therapeutic targeting of c-Myc has remained elusive due to its lack of a clear ligand-binding domain. We therefore targeted c-Myc transcriptional function by another means, namely the disruption of chromatin-dependent signal transduction. Members of the bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) subfamily of human bromodomain proteins (BRD2, BRD3 and BRD4) associate with acetylated chromatin and facilitate transcriptional activation by increasing the effective molarity of recruited transcriptional activators. Notably, BRD4 marks select M/G1 genes in mitotic chromatin for transcriptional memory and direct post-mitotic transcription, via direct interaction with the positive transcription elongation factor complex b (P-TEFb). Because c-Myc is known to regulate promoter-proximal pause release of Pol II, also through the recruitment of P-TEFb, we evaluated the selective small-molecule inhibitor of BET bromodomains, JQ1, as a chemical probe to interrogate the role of BET bromodomains in Myc-dependent transcription and to explore their role as therapeutic targets in c-Myc-driven neoplasias. Duplicate cultures of MM.1S, OPM1 and KMS11 human myeloma cells were treated with either DMSO alone or with JQ1 (500 nM), for 24 hours. Total RNA was extracted and hybridized to Affymetrix human Gene 1.0 ST microarrays (two arrays per treatment per cell line for a total of 12 arrays).

Global gene expression response to BET inhibition in two cancer cell lines

Project description:The MYC transcription factor is a master regulator of diverse cancer pathways and somatic cell reprogramming. MYC is a compelling therapeutic target that exhibits cancer-specific cellular effects. Pharmacologic inhibition of MYC function has proven challenging due to its numerous modes of forced expression and the difficulty of disrupting protein-DNA interactions. Here we demonstrate the rapid and potent abrogation of MYC gene transcription by representative small molecule bromodomain inhibitors of the BET family of chromatin adaptors. This transcriptional suppression of MYC was observed in the context of the natural, chromosomally translocated, and amplified gene locus. Inhibition of BET bromodomain-promoter interactions and subsequent reduction of MYC transcript and protein levels resulted in G1 arrest and extensive apoptosis in a variety of leukemia and lymphoma cell lines. Exogenous expression of MYC from an artificial promoter that is resistant to BET regulation significantly protected cells from growth suppression by BET inhibitors and revealed that MYC exerts a direct and tight control of key pro-growth and anti-apoptotic target genes. Transcriptional profiling of two cells after 4 and 8 hours of treatment with BET inhibitor shows that both MYC and its targets are strongly down-regulated. We thus demonstrate that pharmacologic inhibition of MYC is achievable through targeting BET bromodomains, and suggest that such inhibitors may have broad clinical applicability given the widespread pathogenetic role of MYC in cancer. LP-1, a multiple myeloma cell line, and Raji, a Burkitt lymphoma cell line, were treated with BET inhibitor and an inactive enantiomer for 4 or 8 hours. Two biological replicates of each sample were profiled on exon arrays.

Mitigating reprogramming stress with dominant negative BET deletion fragments

Project description:The iPSC reprogramming is very inefficient and has an early stochastic stage. The cause of the low efficiency and stochastic nature are poorly understood. The bromo- and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins have impacts on cellular reprogramming, but the molecular mechanisms are elusive. Here we show that the reprogramming factors cause dramatic reprogramming stresses including massive transcriptional turbulence, massive and random dysregulation of stress response genes, cell cycle impairment, and cytotoxicity. BET dominant negative (DN) mutants lacking the characteristic ET and bromo- domain enhanced iPSC reprogramming and downregulated a large set of stress response genes over-activated by the reprogramming factors. These DN BET mutants also restored the cell cycle profile and mitotic genes impaired by the reprogramming factors, and mitigate the reprogramming-associated cytotoxicity. The DN BET fragments additionally reduced illegitimate transcriptional reprogramming imposed by the reprogramming factors. Both the DN BET mutants and the BET chemical inhibitors target a similar set of the stress response genes in the reprogramming cells although their targeting mechanism are different. In human naive fibroblasts, these DN BET fragments also commonly target a large set of stress response genes including inflammatory genes, implying general roles of BET proteins in stress responses. These DN BET peptides constitute a novel approach to targeting BET proteins for disease managements.

Effect of BET inhibitors (JQ1 and RVX-208) on gene expression in HepG2 cells

Project description:Bromodomains have emerged as attractive candidates for the development of inhibitors targeting gene transcription. Inhibitors of the bromo-and-extra-terminal (BET) family recently showed promising activity in diverse disease models. However, the pleiotropic nature of BET proteins regulating tissue specific transcription has raised safety concerns and suggested that attempts should be made for domain-specific targeting. Here we report that RVX-208, a compound currently in phase II clinical trials, is a BET bromodomain inhibitor specific for second bromodomains (BD2). Co-crystal structures revealed binding modes of RVX-208 and its synthetic precursor and fluorescent recovery after photobleaching demonstrated that RVX-208 displaces BET proteins from chromatin. However, gene expression data showed that BD2 inhibition only modestly affects BET-dependent gene transcription. Our data demonstrate the feasibility of specific targeting within the BET family resulting in different transcriptional outcomes and highlight the importance of BD1 in transcriptional regulation

NSD3-short is an adaptor protein that couples BRD4 to the CHD8 chromatin remodeler (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) protein BRD4 is a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we demonstrate that the AML maintenance function of BRD4 requires its interaction with NSD3, which belongs to a subfamily of H3K36 methyltransferases. Unexpectedly, AML cells were found to only require a short isoform of NSD3 that lacks the methyltransferase domain. We show that NSD3-short is an adaptor protein that sustains leukemia by linking BRD4 to the CHD8 chromatin remodeler, by using a PWWP chromatin reader module, and by employing an acidic transactivation domain. Genetic targeting of NSD3 or CHD8 mimics the phenotypic and transcriptional effects of BRD4 inhibition. Furthermore, BRD4, NSD3, and CHD8 colocalize across the AML genome, and each is released from super-enhancer regions upon chemical inhibition of BET bromodomains. These findings suggest that BET inhibitors exert therapeutic effects in leukemia by evicting BRD4-NSD3-CHD8 complexes from chromatin to suppress transcription.

Identification of somatic memory genes during bovine nuclear reprogramming by transcriptome sequencing

Project description:We hypothesized aberrant transcriptional silence was existed in bovine clone reprogramming as well as abnormal transcriptional activation and the result of RNA-seq confirmed this hypothesis. On the one hand, SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer) embryos exhibited excessive RNA processing and translation while these two biological processes were deficient in human and mouse; on the other hand, SCNT embryos exhibited the transcriptional defects of reproduction-related genes. These results proved the existences of active- and silent-memory genes which inherited from donor cells in bovine early SCNT embryos. Then, H3K4me3-specific demethylase 5B (KDM5B) mRNAs were injected into cloned embryos to erase active or silent memory respectively. KDM5B overexpression not only reduced the transcription level of active-memory genes but also promoted the expression of silent-memory genes, especially rescued multiple development-related genes.
