Project description:Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has a poor prognosis and adverse clinical outcomes among all breast cancer subtypes as there is no available targeted therapy. Overexpression of Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has been shown to correlate with TNBC's poor prognosis, but the contribution of EZH2 catalytic (H3K27me3) versus non-catalytic EZH2 (NC-EZH2) function in TNBC progression remains elusive. We reveal that selective hyper-activation of functional EZH2 (H3K27me3) over NC-EZH2 alters TNBC metastatic landscape and fosters its peritoneal metastasis, particularly splenic. Instead of H3K27me3-mediated repression of gene expression; here, it promotes KRT14 transcription by attenuating binding of repressor Sp1 to its promoter. Further, KRT14 loss significantly reduces TNBC migration, invasion, and peritoneal metastasis. Consistently, human TNBC metastasis displays positive correlation between H3K27me3 and KRT14 levels. Finally, EZH2 knockdown or H3K27me3 inhibition by EPZ6438 reduces TNBC peritoneal metastasis. Altogether, our preclinical findings suggest a rationale for targeting TNBC with EZH2 inhibitors.

Project description:Splenic tissues from immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) patients splenectomized after primary failure of treatment with the B-cell depleting agent rituximab were analyzed, and antibody-secreting cells were identified as the major B-cell population resisting the treatment. The phenotype, antibody specificity and gene expression profile of these cells were characterized and compared to antibody-secreting cells from untreated ITP spleens and from healthy tissues. Anti-platelet-specific plasma cells (PC) were detected in the spleen of ITP patients up to 6 months after rituximab treatment, and the PC population displayed a long-lived program similar to the one of bone marrow PC, thus explaining for most of these patients the absence of response to rituximab and the response to splenectomy. When analyzed by multiplex PCR at the singlecell level, normal splenic PC showed a markedly different gene expression profile, with an intermediate signature including genes characteristic of both long-lived PC and proliferating plasmablasts. Surprisingly, long-lived PC were not detected either in the inflammatory environment of the untreated ITP spleen. These results suggest that neither the normal nor the auto-immune splenic environment favors the differentiation and residence of long-lived PC, and that it is most probably the milieu generated by B-cell depletion that promotes their local settlement.

Project description:EZH2 is a histone methyltransferase that deposits the repressive histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). This mark has been reported to silence expression of various repetitive elements in the genome. We sought to identify the effect of EZH2 inhibition on H3K27me3 peaks and their overlap with repetitive elements in splenic B cells. We generated a novel mutant mouse line whose ability to detect induced repeat element expression has been abrogated. We report that EZH2 inhibition decreases the number of H3K27me3 peaks in both WT and mutants compared to control.

Project description:Plasma cells are not restricted to the CD27+ phenotype: characterization of CD27-CD43+ antibody secreting cells. Circulating antibody secreting cells are present in peripheral blood of healthy individuals reflecting continued activity of the humoral immune system. Antibody secreting cells typically express CD27. We describe and characterize a small population of antibody secreting class switched CD19+CD43+ B cells that lack expression of CD27 in peripheral blood of healthy subjects. Class switched CD27-CD43+ B cells possess characteristics of conventional plasmablasts as they spontaneously secrete antibodies, are morphological similar to antibody secreting cells, show downregulation of B cell differentiation markers, and have a gene expression profile related to conventional plasmablasts. Despite these similarities, we observed differences in IgA and IgG subclass distribution, expression of homing markers, replication history, frequency of somatic hypermutation and antibody response to vaccination. Their frequency is altered in immune-mediated disorders. In order to study the antibody signature we evaluated immune reactivity to 7390 human proteins by protein microarray.

Project description:We explored H3K27me3 binding sites in the genome of differentiated, conditionally immortalized mouse podocytes. Cells were allowed to differentiate for 14 days, following thermoshifting, before treatment with either vehicle (DMSO) or the S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase inhibitor 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep, 5µM for 48 hours) which degrades the histone methyltransferase, EZH2 ordinarily responsible for H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). DNA was immunopreciptated with an H3K27me3-specific antibody. Studying H3K27me3 modification in Mouse Podocyte

Project description:To understand the role of EZH2 in B cell differentiation, EZH2 was inducibly deleted using tamoxifen and B cells stimulated to differentiate with LPS in vivo. After 3 days, EZH2-sufficient and EZH2-deficient naive B cells and plasmablasts were FACS isolated from the spleens and ATAC-seq was performed to identify the chromatin accessibility changes that are programmed by EZH2.

Project description:Endoderm cells undergo a sequence of fate choices to generate insulin-secreting M-NM-2 cells. Studies of chromatin transitions during this process have been limited to the pancreatic progenitor stage that can be reconstituted from stem cells in vitro, with a gap in understanding the induction of endocrine cells. To address this, we established conditions for isolating endoderm cells, pancreatic progenitors, and endocrine cells from different staged embryos and performed genome wide analysis of the H3K27me3 mark of the repressive Polycomb complex. During the transition from endoderm to pancreas progenitors and during the transition from pancreas progenitors to endocrine cells, genes that lose the H3K27me3 mark typically encode transcriptional regulators, whereas genes that acquire the mark typically are involved in cell biology morphogenesis. Precocious depletion of the EZH2, a H3K27 methylase, at the pancreas progenitor stage enhanced the production of endocrine cells, leading to a later increase in pancreatic beta cells. Similarly, pharmacologic inhibition of EZH2 in embryonic pancreatic tissue explants and human embryonic stem cell cultures led to an increase in endocrine progenitors in vitro. These findings reveal a repeating target gene pattern in H3K27me3 dynamics and provide a means to modulate M-NM-2 cell development from stem cells. Analyzed five FACS-sorted tissues in early mouse embryo; for each tissue we sequenced H3K27me3 and input; no replicates

In order to further characterize the cells in comparison to other B cell subtypes we performed gene expression studies. RNA was isolated from sort-purified IgA-expressing and IgG-expressing B cell subpopulations [CD27+CD43-, CD27+CD43+, CD27-CD43-, CD27-CD43+] obtained from 3 healthy adults, and microarray analysis was performed. Data from IgA-expressing B cell populations and from IgG-expressing B cell populations were normalized (separately).

Project description:Bivalency, the paradoxical juxtaposition of transcriptionally activating trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) and the repressive trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), has been proposed to decorate developmental genes poised for gene expression regulation. Here, we report development of sequential internally calibrated chromatin immunoprecipitation (Re-ICeChIP-seq), capable of measuring absolute quantities of nucleosomal patterns of histone marks in a genome-wide fashion, combined with in situ control of antibody specificity. Re-ICeChIP-seq of H3K4me3/H3K27me3 in mESC reveals that bivalent genes can be delineated into two classes, distinguished by the nucleosomal ratio of H3K4me3 to H3K27me3. Consistent with the canonical role of bivalency, H3K27me3-rich bivalent nucleosomes demarcate promoters of poorly expressed developmental genes that may be poised for activation or repression. Yet our measurements reveal surprisingly widespread presence of bivalency at promoters of highly-expressed housekeeping genes, characterized by H3K4me3-rich bivalent nucleosomes. Moreover, the ratio of H3K4me3 to H3K27me3 at transcription start sites better correlates with gene expression than H3K4me3 or H3K27me3 alone, suggesting cooperation between opposing marks to fine-tune gene expression. Finally, we report that major H3K4 methyltransferases exhibit wide acceptance of various H3K27me3 substrates.
