Enhancer recruitment of transcription repressors RUNX1 and TLE3 by mis-expressed FOXC1 blocks differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia

ABSTRACT: Despite absent expression in normal hematopoiesis, the Forkhead factor FOXC1, a critical mesenchymal differentiation regulator, is highly expressed in ~30% of HOXAhigh AML to confer blocked monocyte/macrophage differentiation. Through integrated proteomics and bioinformatics, we discovered that FOXC1 and RUNX1 interact through Forkhead and Runt domains respectively and cooccupy primed and active enhancers distributed close to differentiation genes. FOXC1 stabilises association of RUNX1, HDAC1 and Groucho repressor TLE3 to limit enhancer activity: FOXC1 knockdown induced loss of repressor proteins, gain of CEBPA binding, enhancer acetylation and upregulation of nearby genes, including KLF2. Furthermore, it triggered genome-wide redistribution of RUNX1, TLE3 and HDAC1 from enhancers to promoters leading to repression of self-renewal genes including MYC and MYB. Our studies highlight RUNX1 and CEBPA transcription factor swapping as a feature of leukemia cell differentiation, and reveal that FOXC1 prevents this by stabilising enhancer binding of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 transcription repressor complex, to oncogenic effect.

Enhancer binding of RUNX1 and Groucho family repressor TLE3 is stabilized by FOXC1 to block differentiation in acute myeloid leukemia [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:A differentiation block is the cardinal pathologic feature of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Despite absent expression in normal hematopoietic lineages, the Forkhead family transcription factor FOXC1, which is a critical regulator of normal mesenchymal and mesodermal differentiation, is highly expressed in ~20% of cases of AML where it confers a block to monocyte/macrophage lineage differentiation. Through integrated proteomics and bioinformatics approaches, we discovered that FOXC1 interacts with RUNX1 through its Forkhead DNA binding domain and that the two factors co-occupy a discrete set of primed or active enhancers distributed close to monocyte/macrophage differentiation genes. FOXC1 stabilises association of RUNX1, HDAC1 and the Groucho family repressor protein TLE3 at these sites. FOXC1 knockdown induced loss of these repressor proteins and gain of CEBPA binding, with localised increase in enhancer acetylation; nearby genes, including KLF2, were up regulated. A genome-wide redistribution of RUNX1 and TLE3 binding from enhancers to promoters was triggered by FOXC1 knockdown leading to repression of self-renewal genes including MYC and MYB. Thus, FOXC1 misexpression confers a differentiation block in AML by stabilising recruitment of a RUNX1/HDAC1/TLE3 repressor complex at primed or active enhancers close to genes which control monocyte/macrophage lineage differentiation.

Mutant p63 affects epidermal cell identity through rewiring the enhancer landscape

Project description:<p>Transcription factor p63 is a key regulator of epidermal keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in the p63 DNA-binding domain are associated with Ectrodactyly Ectodermal Dysplasia Cleft Lip/Palate (EEC) syndrome. Underlying molecular mechanism of these mutations however remain unclear. Here we characterized the transcriptome and epigenome of p63 mutant keratinocytes derived from EEC patients. The transcriptome of p63 mutant keratinocytes deviated from the normal epidermal cell identity. Epigenomic analyses showed an altered enhancer landscape in p63 mutant keratinocytes contributed by loss of p63-bound active enhancers and by unexpected gain of enhancers. The gained enhancers were frequently bound by deregulated transcription factors such as RUNX1. Reversing RUNX1 overexpression partially rescued deregulated gene expression and the altered enhancer landscape. Our findings identify an unreported disease mechanism whereby mutant p63 rewires the enhancer landscape and affects epidermal cell identity, consolidating the pivotal role of p63 in controlling the enhancer landscape of epidermal keratinocytes.</p>

The p30 isoform of CEBPA uncovers a silent enhancer to drive the expression of the tumor promoting factor CD73 in CEBPA mutant AML

Project description:The key myeloid transcription factor (TF) CEBPA is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the molecular ramifications of this leukemic driver mutation remain elusive. To investigate CEBPA mutant AML, we compared gene expression changes in human CEBPA mutant AML and in the corresponding CebpaLp30 mouse model, and identified a conserved cross-species transcriptional program. ChIP-seq revealed aberrantly activated enhancers, exclusively occupied by the leukemia-associated CEBPA-p30 isoform. One leukemic-enhancer upstream of Nt5e, encoding CD73, was physically and functionally linked to this conserved AML gene, and could be activated by CEBPA. Targeting of CD73-adenosine signaling increased AML survival in transplanted mice. Our data indicate a first-in-class link between a TF cancer driver mutation and a druggable, direct transcriptional target.

Foxd3 binding at enhancers controls developmental timing of gene expression by regulation of histone acetylation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcription factor/enhancer interactions determine cell specific gene expression. Here, we followed enhancers during differentiations of embryonic stem (ESCs) to epiblast like cells (EpiLCs). There were highly dynamic changes in histone lysine 27 acetylation at enhancer sites throughout the genome. These sites were enriched for a Foxd3 binding motif, a forkhead transcription factor essential in early embryonic development. Surprisingly, Foxd3 occupied largely mutually exclusive sites in the ESCs versus EpiLCs. Foxd3 bound to nucleosome occupied regions, simultaneously evicting the histones while inhibiting full gene expression through the recruitment of histone deacetylases. Knockout of Foxd3 resulted in hyperacetylation and transcriptional upregulation of neighboring genes, many of which were further upregulated at later stages of differentiation. These data show that Foxd3 primes enhancer sites during pregastrulation by removing nucleosomes, yet suppresses neighboring histone hyperacetylation. Such a mechanism may be common to many transcription factors that prepare enhancers for later gene activation during development. ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300, H3K4me3, RNA Pol2 and Oct4 in four pluripotent states: embryonic stem cells (ESCs) day 1 ESC differentiation, Epi-like stem cells (EpiLCs), and epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs); ChIP-seq of 3XFlag tagged Foxd3 in ESCs and EpiLCs; ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300 and H3K4me3 in Foxd3 conditional knockout cells (tamoxifen-inducible) -/+ 36h Tamoxifen treatemnt.

ChIP-sequence analysis of H3K27ac, H3K4me1, and SETD5 in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes.

Project description:Enhancer activation is essential for cell-type specific gene expression during cellular differentiation, however, how enhancers transition from a hypoacetylated “primed” state to a hyperacetylated-active state is incompletely understood. Here, we show SET domain-containing 5 (SETD5) forms a complex with NCoR-HDAC3 co-repressor that prevents histone acetylation of enhancers for two master adipogenic regulatory genes Cebpa and Pparg early during adipogenesis. The loss of SETD5 from the complex is followed by enhancer hyperacetylation. SETD5 protein levels were transiently increased and rapidly degraded prior to enhancer activation providing a mechanism for the loss of SETD5 during the transition. We show that induction of the CDC20 co-activator of the ubiquitin ligase leads to APC/C mediated degradation of SETD5 during the transition and this operates as a molecular switch that facilitates adipogenesis.

TRPS1 shapes YAP/TEAD-dependent transcription in breast cancer cells

Project description:Yes-associated protein (YAP), the downstream transducer of the Hippo pathway is a key regulator of organ size, differentiation and tumourigenesis. Yet, the activity of YAP can also be modulated by Hippo-independent functions. To disclose these Hippo-independent regulators, we performed a genome-wide CRISPR screening approach that identified the transcriptional repressor protein Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome 1 (TRPS1) as a potent repressor of YAP-dependent transactivation. Using RNA-Sequencing and ChIP-Sequencing approaches we show that TRPS1 globally regulates YAP-dependent transcription by binding to a large set of joint genomic sites, mainly enhancers. Mechanistically, TRPS1 represses YAP-dependent enhancers function by recruiting a spectrum of corepressor complexes to joint sites. Consequently, loss of TRPS1 leads to activation of enhancers due to increased H3K27 acetylation and an altered promoter-enhancer interaction landscape. TRPS1 is commonly amplified in breast cancer which is associated decreased YAP activity and leads to a decreased frequency of intratumoural immune cells. Consistently, depletion of TRPS1 in the syngeneic 4T1 tumour model leads to a strongly decreased tumour growth in vivo. Our study uncovers TRPS1 as a new epigenetic regulator of YAP activity and it connects repression of YAP-dependent enhancer function to breast cancer.

ETV6 Deficiency and Microsatellite Enhancers Drive Transcriptional Dysregulation in B-Lymphoblastic Leukemia: ChIP-Seq data

Project description:Distal enhancers play critical roles in sustaining oncogenic gene expression programs. We obtained ATAC-Seq data and ChIP-Seq data using antibodies against the H3K27ac histone mark, transcription factors ERG and ETV6, and input chromatin from B-ALL cell lines and comparator B-cell cancer cell lines, including B-ALL with biallelic ETV6 inactivation, ETV6-RUNX1, and intact ETV6. We identify aberrant enhancer-like activation of GGAA tandem repeats as a characteristic feature of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with genetic defects of the ETV6 transcriptional repressor, including ETV6-RUNX1+ and ETV6-null B-ALL. We show that GGAA repeat enhancers are direct activators of previously identified ETV6-RUNX1+ B-ALL “signature” genes, including likely oncogenic drivers. When restored to ETV6-deficient B-ALL cells, ETV6 directly binds to GGAA repeat enhancers, represses their acetylation, downregulates adjacent genes, and inhibits B-ALL growth. In ETV6-deficient B-ALL cells, we find that the ETS transcription factor ERG directly binds to GGAA microsatellite enhancers and is required for sustained activation of many repeat enhancer-activated genes. Together, our findings reveal a novel epigenetic gatekeeper function of the ETV6 tumor suppressor gene and establish microsatellite enhancers as a key mechanism underlying the unique gene expression program of ETV6-RUNX1+ B-ALL.
