Retinoid X receptor activation alters the chromatin landscape ot commit mesenchymal stem cells to the adipose lineage


ABSTRACT: We set out to study the effects of the endocrine disrupting chemical tributyltin (TBT) on early lineage commitment of primary bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the long bones of C57BL/6 mice. We previously showed that prenatal exposure to nanomolar levels of TBT results in increased adiposity in mice. TBT is an agonist of two nuclear receptors, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and retinoid X receptor (RXR), master regulators of adipogenesis. To test if TBT could influence early MSC lineage commitment we treated these cells with 50 nM TBT, 100 nM Rosiglitazone (ROSI, a pure PPARγ agonist), 100 nM AGN194204 (4204, a pure RXR agonist), and vehicle control (0.1% DMSO) for 48 hours prior to differentiation with a standard adipogenic cocktail. This experiment revealed an RXR-dependent commitment to the adipose lineage. To better understand how TBT induces adipose commimtment, we sequenced RNA from MSCs treated with DMSO (0.1%), ROSI (100 nM), 4204 (100 nM), and TBT (50 nM) for 48 hrs, prior to any differentiation. Unbiased hierarchical clustering analysis showed a clear separation between DMSO and ROSI replicates from 4204 and TBT, strengthening our conclusion that the observed phentype is RXR-dependent. Pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that TBT and 4204 de-repress targets of the repressive histone modifier Enhancer of zeste 2 (EZH2), the catalytic member of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which deposits H3K27me3 on histones. We there for preformed ChIP-Seq analysis on MSCs treated with DMSO (0.1%) or TBT (50 nM) for 48 hrs, hypothesizing that TBT would reduce H3K27me3 in proximity to genes that regulate adipose lineage commitment.
