Project description:Analysis of changes in gene expression in skin epidermis upon conditional knockout of the essential Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) subunit Eed. Loss of Eed in skin epithelium leads to de-repression of key Merkel-differentiation genes, which are known PRC2 targets, and results in ectopic formation of Merkel cells that are associated with all hair types. Gene expression analysis: To determine the changes in gene expression in skin epidermis upon conditional knockout of Eed, total RNA was isolated from skin epidermis in four biologic replicates from cells in different conditions and hybridized to SurePrint G3 Mouse GE 8X60K microarrays (Agilent).

Project description:Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a chromatin-modifying enzyme that catalyzes the methylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me1/2/3). This complex maintains the gene expression profiles in different cell types and plays an essential role in normal organismal development. The mechanisms by which PRC2 targets specific chromatin regions remain unclear. To address this question, we focused on the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of PRC2 subunits. Here we show EED, a core component of PRC2, is acetylated by acetyltransferase CBP/P300 at lysine 19 (K19). The acetylation of EED at K19 (EED-K19ac) reduces the binding affinity between PRC2 and native nucleosomes, causing PRC2 to leave its chromatin targets in vivo. Genome-wide location analysis (ChIP-seq) reveals that K19-acetylated EED preferentially accumulates at highly transcribed genes with low EZH2 and H3K27me3 levels. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we generated mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) carrying non-acetylated EED mimic (EED-K19R) and showed acetylation of EED at K19 is necessary for mESC differentiation. In summary, our study reveals a novel mechanism that allows intracellular signalling pathways to regulate cellular differentiation and cell fate decisions by controlling the genomic targeting of PRC2 through acetylating EED.

Project description:Epigenetic modification by polycomb repressive complex (PRC) molecules appears to have a role in tumorigenesis and aggressiveness of neuroblastoma (NB). Embryonic Ectoderm Development (EED) is a member of PRC2 complex and binds the H3K27me3 mark deposited by EZH2, via propagation on adjacent nucleosomes. Here we studied the molecular roles of EED in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells by using EED-knocked down shRNAs, EED-knocked out sgRNAs, and EED small molecule inhibitor EED226. EED suppression profoundly inhibited the NB cell proliferation and flat-and soft agar colony formation. Transcriptome analysis by microarray of the EED-KD NB cells indicated the de-repression of the cell cycle regulated and differentiation-related genes; GSEA analysis results suggested that cell cycle repressed gene sets were strongly upregulated. Further, epigenetic treatment by the combination of EED inhibitor EED226 and HDAC inhibitor valproic acid effectively suppressed NB cell proliferation and colony formation. The combinatory epigenetic treatment up-regulated the cell cycle regulation- and differentiation-related genes.

Project description:The goal of the experiment was to determine the role of the polycomb repressive complex 2 in the nerve injury response in peripheral nerve. A Schwann cell specific knockout of the Eed subunit of PRC2 was generated to compare with wild type mice in sham and injured mice at 1d and 14d timepoints after nerve injury.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complexes 1 and 2 (PRC1 and 2) play a critical role in the epigenetic regulation of transcription during cellular differentiation, stem cell pluripotency, and neoplastic progression1-3. Here we show that the Polycomb group protein EED, a core component of PRC2, physically interacts with and functions as part of the PRC1 complex. Components of PRC1 and PRC2 compete for EED binding. EED functions to recruit PRC1 to H3K27me3 loci and enhances PRC1 mediated H2A ubiquitin E3 ligase activity. Taken together, we uncover the integral role of EED as an epigenetic exchange factor coordinating the activities of PRC1 and 2.

Project description:Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) plays an essential role in development by catalysing trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), resulting in gene repression. PRC2 consists of two sub-complexes, PRC2.1 and PRC2.2, in which the PRC2 core associates with distinct ancillary subunits such as MTF2 and JARID2, respectively. Both MTF2, present in PRC2.1, and JARID2, present in PRC2.2, play a role in core PRC2 recruitment to target genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). However, it remains unclear how these distinct sub-complexes cooperate to establish H3K27me3 domains. Here, we combine a range of Polycomb mutant mESCs with chemical inhibition of PRC2 catalytic activity, to systematically dissect their relative contributions to PRC2 binding to target loci. We find that PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 mediate two distinct paths for recruitment, with mutually reinforced binding. Part of the cross-talk between PRC2.1 and PRC2.2 occurs via their catalytic product H3K27me3, which is bound by the PRC2 core-subunit EED, thereby mediating a positive feedback. Strikingly, removal of either JARID2 or H3K27me3 only has a minor effect on PRC2 recruitment, whereas their combined ablation largely attenuates PRC2 recruitment. This strongly suggests an unexpected redundancy between JARID2 and EED-H3K27me3-mediated recruitment of PRC2. Furthermore, we demonstrate that all core PRC2 recruitment occurs through the combined action of MTF2-mediated recruitment of PRC2.1 to DNA and PRC1-mediated recruitment of JARID2-containing PRC2.2. Both axes of binding are supported by EED-H3K27me3 positive feedback, but to a different degree. Finally, we provide evidence that PRC1 and PRC2 mutually reinforce reciprocal binding. Together, these data disentangle the interdependent and cooperative interactions between Polycomb complexes that are important to establish Polycomb repression at target sites.
