Sox9 transcriptionally regulates Wnt signaling in intestinal epithelium stem cells under hypomethylated crypts in diabetic state (ChIP-Seq)


ABSTRACT: Mammalian intestinal epithelium stem cells (IESCs) and their daughter cells require the participation of DNA methylation and the transcription factor Sox9 for proliferation and differentiation. Combining methylated DNA immunoprecipitation with microarray hybridization, we demonstrate that hypomethylation in promoter participates in the aberrant formation of crypts in diabetic db/db mice through ectopic Wnt signaling. More importantly, increased expression of Sox9 is accompanied by the loss of methylation in its promoter in IESCs. Using ChIP-seq analysis for Sox9 in IESCs, we demonstrate that Sox9 primarily targets the enhancers of Wnt signaling pathway-related genes. Sox9 is not only predominately acting as a transcriptional activator at proximal enhancer but also as a potential transcriptional inhibitor at distant enhancer. Lack of Sox9 transcriptional activation in specific repressors of Wnt signaling pathway results in loss of intrinsic inhibitory action and ultimately produces over-activation of this pathway in diabetes mellitus.
