Project description:Dynamic cellular processes such as differentiation are driven by changes in the abundances of transcription factors (TFs). However, despite years of studies, our knowledge about the protein copy number of TFs in the nucleus is limited. Here, by determining the absolute abundances of 103 TFs and co-factors during the course of human erythropoiesis, we provide a dynamic and quantitative scale for TFs in the nucleus. Furthermore, we establish the first gene regulatory network of cell fate commitment that integrates temporal protein stoichiometry data with mRNA measurements. The model revealed quantitative imbalances in TFs' cross-antagonistic relationships that underlie lineage determination. Finally, we made the surprising discovery that, in the nucleus, co-repressors are dramatically more abundant than co-activators at the protein level, but not at the RNA level, with profound implications for understanding transcriptional regulation. These analyses provide a unique quantitative framework to understand transcriptional regulation of cell differentiation in a dynamic context.

Project description:Quantitative changes in transcription factor (TF) abundance regulate dynamic cellular processes, including cell fate decisions. Protein copy number provides information about the relative stoichiometry of TFs that can be used to determine how quantitative changes in TF abundance influence gene regulatory networks. In this protocol, we describe a targeted selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based mass-spectrometry method to systematically measure the absolute protein concentration of nuclear TFs as human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells differentiate along the erythropoietic lineage. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Gillespie et al. (2020).

Project description:CD34+ cells were subjected to ex vivo erythropoiesis according to the protocol described in Palii et al. (doi: 10.3791/2813. J Vis Exp. 53, 2011). Samples were harvested at different time points and analyzed by RNAseq.

Project description:Human erythropoiesis is a stepwise process in which multipotent hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC) are initially committed towards the erythroid lineage and then differentiated into mature erythroid precursors. Commitment and differentiation are tightly regulated by the coordinated action of a host of transcription factors, including GATA2 and GATA1. Although the role of GATA factors in erythropoiesis has been extensively studied, how they regulate transcription from early to late stages of human erythropoiesis still remains underinvestigated. Here, we investigated GATA-mediated transcriptional regulation along erythroid development through the integrative analysis of gene expression, chromatin modifications, and GATA factors’ binding in human HSPC, early erythroid progenitors, and late precursors. A progressive loss of H3K27 acetylation, a mark of active regulatory elements, and diminished usage of active enhancers and super-enhancers was observed during erythroid lineage commitment and differentiation. We found that GATA factors mediate the transcriptional changes occurring during erythropoiesis through a stage-specific interplay with regulatory elements. In particular, GATA1 binds different sets of regulatory elements in early progenitors and late precursors, and controls the transcription of distinct genes in commitment and differentiation. By Chromosome Conformation Capture and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, we demonstrated that the binding of GATA1 to a stage-specific super-enhancer sustains the expression of the stem cell factor receptor KIT in human erythroid progenitors. This study provides insights into the dynamics of epigenetic and transcriptional interactions during erythroid development and highlights a new layer of GATA1-mediated regulation in erythropoiesis.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play an important role in many different cellular, developmental, and physiological processes. Accordingly, numerous methods have been established to identify and quantify miRNAs. The shortness of miRNA sequence results in a high dynamic range of melting temperatures and, moreover, impedes a proper selection of detection probes or optimized PCR primers. While miRNA microarrays allow for massive parallel and accurate relative measurement of all known miRNAs, they have so far been less useful as an assay for absolute quantification. Here, we present a microarray based approach for global and absolute quantification of miRNAs. The method relies on an equimolar pool of about 1000 synthetic miRNAs of known concentration which is used as an universal reference and labeled and hybridized in a dual colour approach on the same array as the sample of interest. Each single miRNA is quantified with respect to the universal reference outbalancing bias related to sequence, labeling, hybridization or signal detection method. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by various spike in experiments. Further, we quantified miRNA copy numbers in liver samples and CD34(+)CD133(-) hematopoietic stem cells.

Project description:We performed a proteomic analysis of human erythropoiesis using 4 umbilical cord's blood samples. This study revealed the absolute and quantitative expression of more than 6000 proteins throughout 7 stages of erythroid differentiation using a label-free technique. We found new informations on erythropoiesis such as unexpected protein expression depicted the article.
