Project description:Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MCA/MR) syndrome described in 19811,2. In 2010, exome sequencing identified MLL2 mutations in patients with KS3. Since then, 5 studies identified a mutation in MLL2 in 56-75,6% of KS patients3-7. Here, we describe 2 KS and 1 KS-like patient with a de novo partial or complete deletion of UTX, a histone demethylase interacting with MLL2 in gene regulation. UTX locates on the X chromosome and we showed that the X chromosome with the deleted copy of UTX is preferentially inactivated despite the fact that UTX escapes X-inactivation. This study unveiled deletion of UTX as a second cause of KS and highlights the growing role of histone methylase/demethylase in MCA/MR syndrome. Two patients were analysed by Agilent array CGH 244K (AMADID: 014693) Three patients DNA were analyzed by CGH on custom targeted array 44K (AMADID: 032482). Two of them were initially analyzed using 244K Whole genome Arrays (AMADID: 014693). One third patient was selected given suspicion of deletion in one of the targeted gene (KDM6A) as amplification of some exons performed in our lab to sequence this gene failed.

Project description:The UTX/KDM6A gene encodes the UTX histone H3K27 demethylase, which plays an important role in mammalian development and is frequently mutated in cancers and particularly, in urothelial cancers. Using BioID technique, we explored the interactome of different UTX isoforms.

Project description:Epigenetic changes, including histone methylation, control T cell differentiation and memory formation, though the enzymes that mediate these processes are not clear. We show that UTX, a histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase, promotes the generation of T follicular helper (Tfh) cells, a CD4+ T cell subset essential for B cell antibody generation and clearance of chronic viral infections. Mice with T cell specific UTX deletion (UTX TKO mice) had fewer Tfh cells, showed defective germinal center formation, lacked virus-specific IgG production, and were unable to resolve chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. In UTX TKO T cells, decreased expression of IL-6R±, and other Tfh-related loci, was associated with increased H3K27 methylation. Additionally, Turner Syndrome subjects, who are predisposed to chronic ear infections, have reduced UTX expression in immune cells and decreased Tfh frequency. Thus, we identify a critical link between UTX in T cells and immunity to infection. Mice were infected with chronic LCMV and sorted for Tfh on day 21 pi (sorted for: CD4+CXCR5+CD62Llo T cell). ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq on WT and Utx KO cells.

Project description:Mutation in KMT2D, a histone-lysine N-methyl transferase, is responsible for majority of Kabuki syndrome in human. A mouse model of Kabuki syndrome with heterzygous mutation of KMT2D, KMT2D+/bGeo was created to understand the disease mechanism and for drug discovery. TAK-418-418, a lysine-specific histone demethylase (LSD1) inhibitor, was tested on these mice for therapeutic treatment of the disease. Differences between expression levels among different experimental conditions was evaluated by high throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq).

Project description:KMT2D+/bGeoation in KMT2D, a histone-lysine N-methyl transferase, is responsible for majority of Kabuki syndrome in human. A mouse model of Kabuki syndrome with heterzygous KMT2D+/bGeoation of KMT2D, KMT2D+/bGeo was created to understand the disease mechanism and for drug discovery. TAK-418-418, a lysine-specific histone demethylase (LSD1) inhibitor, was tested on these mice for therapeutic treatment of the disease. Rescue of genome wide chromatin abnormality, which has been reported in KMT2D+/bGeo mice, was evaluated by high throughput next generation sequencing following chromatin immunoprecipitation of H3K4me1 and H3K4me3.

Project description:Kabuki syndrome is a monogenic disorder caused by loss of function variants in either of two genes encoding histone-modifying enzymes. We performed targeted sequencing in a cohort of 27 probands with a clinical diagnosis of Kabuki syndrome. Of these, 12 had causative variants in the two known Kabuki syndrome genes. In 2, we identified presumptive loss of function de novo variants in KMT2A (missense and splice site variants), a gene that encodes another histone modifying enzyme previously exclusively associated with Wiedermann-Steiner syndrome. Although Kabuki syndrome is a disorder of histone modification, we also find alterations in DNA methylation among individuals with a Kabuki syndrome diagnosis relative to matched normal controls, regardless of whether they carry a variant in KMT2A or KMT2D or not. Furthermore, we observed characteristic global abnormalities of DNA methylation that distinguished patients with a loss of function variant in KMT2D or missense or splice site variants in either KMT2D or KMT2A from normal controls. Our results provide new insights into the relationship of genotype to epigenotype and phenotype and indicate cross-talk between histone and DNA methylation machineries exposed by inborn errors of the epigenetic apparatus.

Project description:The KDM6 histone demethylases (UTX/KDM6A and JMJD3/KDM6B) mediate removal of repressive histone H3K27me3 marks to establish transcriptionally permissive chromatin. Loss of UTX in female mice is embryonic lethal. Unexpectedly, male UTX-null mice escape embryonic lethality due to expression of UTY, a paralog lacking H3K27-demethylase activity. This suggests that UTX plays an enzyme-independent role in development, and challenges the need for active H3K27-demethylation in vivo. However, the requirement for active H3K27-demethylation in stem cell-mediated tissue regeneration remains untested. Using an inducible mouse knockout that ablates UTX in satellite cells, we show that active H3K27-demethylation is necessary for muscle regeneration. Indeed, loss of UTX in satellite cells blocks myofiber regeneration in both male and female mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate that UTX mediates muscle regeneration through its H3K27-demethylase activity using a chemical inhibitor, and a demethylase-dead UTX knock-in mouse. Mechanistically, dissection of the muscle regenerative process revealed that UTX is required for expression of the transcription factor Myogenin that drives differentiation of muscle progenitors. Thus, we have identified a critical role for the enzymatic activity of UTX in activating muscle-specific gene expression during myofiber regeneration, revealing for the first time that active H3K27-demethylation has a physiological role in vivo. Satellite cells were sorted based on Cre-dependent expression of TdT reporter gene. Sorted UTXmKO or UTX WT satellite cells were then induced to differentiate for 24 hrs. RNA was then isolated and subjected to RNA-Seq analysis.
