Project description:Both HDAC1 and HDAC2 are epigenetic erasers that drive specific and redundant gene expression patterns, in part by removing acetyl groups on histones. Deletion of these Hdac in intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) in vivo alters intestinal homeostasis, dependent on the Hdac deleted and the level of expression of both. To determine the intrinsic specific IEC function of HDAC1 and HDAC2, we have performed transcriptomic and quantitative proteomic approaches on enteroids deficient in Hdac1 or Hdac2. We have defined changes in both mRNA and protein expression patterns affecting IEC differentiation. We have identified IEC Hdac1- and Hdac2-dependent common as well as specific pathways and biological processes. These findings uncover unrecognized similarities and differences between Hdac1 and Hdac2 in IEC.

Project description:Previously published data suggested some redundant functions between HDAC1 and HDAC2 in mouse. To test this hypothesis, we used microarrays to have a genome wide analysis at the transcription level of primary MEFs lacking HDAC1, HDAC2. MEF HDAC1 F/F were were transduced with two different retroviruses: one virus expresses the Tamoxifen-inducible cre recombinase Cre-ERT2 and the second virus expresses either a small hairpin micro-RNA against HDAC2 or a scrambled version. HDAC1F/F MEFs expressing either a scrambled micro-RNA or a micro-RNA against HDAC2 can be induced by addition of Tamoxifen to delete HDAC1, thereby generating four different genotypes: WT, HDAC1 KO, HDAC2 knockdown (Kd) and HDAC1/2 KO/Kd.

Project description:Acetylation and deacetylation of histones and other proteins depend on the opposing activities of histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs), leading to either positive or negative gene expression changes. The use of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) has uncovered a role for HDACs in the control of proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation. However, little is known of the roles of specific HDACs in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC). We investigated the consequences of ablating both Hdac1 and Hdac2 in murine IECs gene expression. HDAC1 and HDAC2 conditionally mutated mice were provided by Dr EN Olson (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX) (Montgomery et al., 2007). Floxed HDAC1 and HDAC2 mice were crossed with villin-Cre transgenic mice to insure specific intestinal epithelial cell gene deletion (Madison et al., 2002). Total RNAs from the colon of three control and three HDAC1/2 IEC-specific knockout mice were isolated with the Rneasy kit (Qiagen, Mississauga, ON, Canada).
Project description:Histone deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) are the core catalytic components of co-repressor complexes which modulate gene expression. In most cell types, deletion of both Hdac1 and Hdac2 is required to generate a discernible phenotype, suggesting their activity is largely redundant. We have therefore generated an embryonic stem cell (ES) line in which Hdac1 and Hdac2 can be inactivated simultaneously using a Tamoxifen inducible CreER fusion. Loss of HDAC1/2 results in a 60% reduction in total HDAC activity and a loss of cell viability. Cell death is cell cycle dependent, since differentiated, non-proliferating cells, retain their viability. Furthermore, we observe increased mitotic defects, lagging chromosomes and micronuclei, suggesting HDAC1/2 maintain chromosomal stability. Consistent with a critical role in the regulation of gene expression, microarray analysis of Hdac1/2 deleted cells reveals 1,708 differentially expressed genes. Significantly for the maintenance of stem cell self-renewal, we detected a reduction in the expression of the pluripotent transcription factors, Oct4, Nanog and Rex1. HDAC1/2 activity is regulated through binding of inositol tetraphosphate molecule [Ins(1,4,5,6)P4] (IP4) sandwiched between the HDAC and its cognate co-repressor. This raises the important question of whether the IP4 actually regulates the activity of the complex in cells. By rescuing the viability of DKO cells, we demonstrate for the first time that mutations which abolish IP4 binding reduce the activity of HDAC1/2 in vivo. Our data indicate that HDAC1/2 have a generic, but essential role in cellular proliferation and regulate stem cell self-renewal by maintaining expression of key pluripotent transcription factors. Comparative gene expression profiles of wild type (Day 0) were compared to Hdac1lox/lox, Hdac2lox/lox; CreER ES cells on days 1, 2 and 3 following for OHT treatment using the Illumina mouseWG-6 v2 expression BeadChip platform. wild type (Day 0) were compared to Hdac1lox/lox, Hdac2lox/lox; CreER ES cells on days 1, 2 and 3 following for OHT treatment. Four time points were analyzed in triplicate.
