Histone post-translational modifications of Leishmania braziliensis

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic cells have natural resources to maintain their biological activities for the organism. Epigenetics is one of these mechanisms, which plays a fundamental role in the regulation of gene expression, cell cycle progression, DNA repair, etc. Epigenetic control of gene expression occurs when chemical groups are added to some histone amino acids, resulting in dynamic changes in the structure and organization of chromatin, besides being recruiters of protein complexes. Recently, our group described the global map of post-translational modifications of histone (hPTMs) of Trypanosoma cruzi, showing that, despite being unicellular eukaryotes with a characteristic post-transcriptional gene expression, their chromatin is complex with an abundant and variable number of hPTMs. In this work, we describe, the first comprehensive and high-confidence global map, of the hPTMs of Leishmania braziliensis, the etiologic agent of leishmaniasis, distributed in all canonical and some variants.

Histone post-translational modifications of Trypanosoma cruzi: a high-confidence comprehensive map

Project description:In humans and other eukaryotes, histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs) play an essential role in the epigenetic control of gene expression. In trypanosomatid parasites, conversely, gene regulation occurs mainly at the post-transcriptional level. However, our group has recently shown that hPTMs are abundant and varied in Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas Disease, signaling for possible conserved epigenetic functions. Here, we provide a high-confidence comprehensive map of hPTMs, distributed in all canonical, variant and linker histones of T. cruzi. Our updated landscape expands the number of known T. cruzi hPTMs by almost 2-fold, representing the largest dataset of hPTMs available to any trypanosomatid to date, and can be used as a basis for functional studies on the dynamic regulation of chromatin by epigenetic mechanisms and the selection of candidates for the development of epigenetic drugs in trypanosomatids.

Improved Mass Spectrometry-based methods to study histone propionylation

Project description:Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) have crucial roles in a multitude of cellular processes, their aberrant levels have been linked with numerous diseases, including cancer. Although histone PTM investigations have focused so far on methylations and acetylations, alternative long-chain acylations emerged as new dimension, as they are linked to cellular metabolic states and affect gene expression through mechanisms distinct from those regulated by acetylation. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the most powerful, comprehensive and unbiased method to study histone PTMs. Typical protocols for histone PTM analysis do not allow identification of naturally occurring propionylation and butyrylation. Here, we present improved state-of-the-art sample preparation and analysis protocols to quantitate these classes of modifications. After testing different derivatization methods coupled to protease digestion, we profiled common histone PTMs and histone acylations in seven mouse tissues and human normal and tumor breast clinical samples, obtaining a map of propionylations and butyrylations found in different tissue contexts. A quantitative histone PTM analysis also revealed a contribution of histone acylations in discriminating different tissues and breast cancer samples from the normal counterpart.

Metabolic Regulation of the Epigenome Drives Lethal Infantile Ependymoma

Project description:PFA ependymomas are a lethal glial malignancy of the hindbrain found in babies and toddlers. Lacking any highly recurrent somatic mutations, PFAs have been proposed as a largely epigenetically driven tumor type. An almost complete lack of model systems has inhibited discovery of novel PFA therapies. Both in vitro and in vivo, the PFA hypoxic microenvironment controls the availability of specific metabolites to diminish histone methylation, and to increase both histone demethylation and acetylation at H3K27. PFA ependymoma initiates from a cell lineage in the first trimester of human development where there is a known hypoxic microenvironment. Unique to PFA cells, transient exposure to ambient oxygen results in irreversible cellular toxicity. PFA tumors exhibit a low basal level of H3K27me3, and paradoxically inhibition of H3K27 methylation shows significant and specific activity against PFA. Targeting metabolism and/or the epigenome presents a unique opportunity for rational therapy for infants with PFA ependymoma.

Histone PTM profiling in breast cancer clinical samples

Project description:Although cancer was long considered a genetic disease, the contribution of epigenetics to various aspects of cancer biology is now being increasingly recognized. In particular, aberrations in the deposition and maintenance of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) can result in the inappropriate expression or silencing of genes, potentially leading to cancer. Here, we applied quantitative mass-spectrometry-based technologies to study histone PTMs and variants in different breast cancer subtypes, with a special focus on triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), which comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors lacking well-defined molecular targets and targeted therapies.

Histone post translational modification mass sprectrometry SUZ12 exon 4 cell lines

Project description:We investigate the contribution of each SUZ12 isoform on PRC2 activity on chromatin using our different ESC lines. As an additional comparison for ∆ex4 cells (SUZ12-S), we included an ESC clone in which an unsuccessful CRISPR editing event resulted in a mutant allele with nearly constitutive splicing of exon 4 (herein, CSex4) and normal Suz12 expression levels (expressing only SUZ12-L). First, we profiled H3K27 bulk PTMs by WB and observed that, while CSex4 cells showed no major differences to control cells, ∆ex4 cells displayed lower levels of H3K27me2 and -me3, with higher levels of mono-methylation and acetylation. Similar results were obtained when comparing SUZ12-L and SUZ12-S ESC rescue lines. To validate these findings with an antibody-independent technique, and to additionally profile other histone PTMs, we analysed these cells with histone-MS. In line with the previous estimates26, WT cells displayed approximately 85% of H3K27 methylation. This proportion was largely similar in CSex4 cells, while it dropped to ~50% in ∆ex4 cells, with H3K27me2 and -me3 being the most affected modifications. Notably, H3K27me2/3 loss in ∆ex4 cells occurred at histone peptides regardless of their H3K36 methylation status. Moreover, the global H3K36 methylation rates were not affected in either CSex4 or ∆ex4 cells (Figure S4C), and no major changes in methylation or acetylation levels were observed at other residues. Importantly, reintroduction of SUZ12-L in KO cells rescued a higher degree of methylation compared to SUZ12-S. Overall, these results indicate that SUZ12-S alone is unable to maintain global physiological levels of H3K27 methylation; rather SUZ12-L is also necessary for this task.

A novel chemical biology high-content strategy for the identification of novel HMT inhibitors reveals a crosstalk between DOT1L and CARM1

Project description:Epigenetic regulation is a dynamic and reversible process that controls gene expression. Abnormal function results in downregulation or upregulation of pathways leading to diseases, such as cancer. The enzymes that establish and maintain epigenetic marks, such as histone methyltransferases (HMTs), are therapeutic targets as their and, importantly, the epigenetic modifications are reversible. Noteworthy, HMTs, as the other epigenetic enzymes and readers, form together multiprotein complexes that in concert regulate histone marks. To probe the epigenetic protein complexes in a biological system, we developed a reliable chemical biology high-content imaging strategy to screen compound libraries on multiple histone marks inside cells simultaneously. The advantage is double: (1) it identifies directly a drug that is active in cells on a specific histone mark and (2) it reveals the crosstalk between the epigenetic marks. By this approach, we identified that compound 4, a published CARM1 (PRMT4) inhibitor, inhibits both histone mark H3R2me2a (regulated by CARM1) and H3K79me2 (regulated by DOT1L) pointing out a synergistic interaction between the two HMTs. The results obtained by the screening assay were validated by mass spectrometry and other techniques confirming the crosstalk between the two marks and HMTs. Prompted by the interaction between CARM1 and DOT1L we combined compound 4 and DOT1L inhibitor EPZ-5676 resulting in a stronger cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis, indicating that our approach provides also a novel strategy to identify effective synergistic drug combinations for cancer therapy.

A phylogenetic and proteomic reconstruction of eukaryotic chromatin evolution

Project description:Histones and associated chromatin proteins have essential functions in eukaryotic genome organization and regulation. Despite this fundamental role in eukaryotic cell biology, we lack a phylogenetically-comprehensive understanding of chromatin evolution. Here, we combine comparative proteomics and genomics analysis of chromatin in eukaryotes and archaea. Proteomics uncovers the existence of histone post-translational modifications in Archaea. However, archaeal histone modifications are scarce, in contrast with the highly conserved and abundant marks we identify across eukaryotes. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that chromatin-associated catalytic functions (e.g., methyltransferases) have pre-eukaryotic origins, whereas histone mark readers and chaperones are eukaryotic innovations. We show that further chromatin evolution is characterized by expansion of readers, including capture by transposable elements and viruses. Overall, our study infers detailed evolutionary history of eukaryotic chromatin: from its archaeal roots, through the emergence of nucleosome-based regulation in the eukaryotic ancestor, to the diversification of chromatin regulators and their hijacking by genomic parasites

Large scale toxicoepigenetics on histones: a mass spectrometry-based screening assay applied to developmental toxicity

Project description:Toxicoepigenetics is an emerging field that studies the toxicological impact of compounds on protein expression through heritable, non-genetic mechanisms, such as histone post-translational modifications (hPTMs). Due to substantial progress in the large-scale study of hPTMs, integration into the field of toxicology is a promising addition that offers the opportunity to gain novel insights into toxicological phenomena. Moreover, there is a growing demand for high-throughput human-based in vitro assays for toxicity testing and especially for developmental toxicity. Consequently, we developed a mass spectrometry based proof-of-concept to develop an assay to screen the histone code and hence detecting multiple hPTMs changes simultaneously in human embryonic stem cells. To prove the applicability and performance, we first validated the untargeted workflow with valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor. These results demonstrate that our workflow is capable of mapping the hPTM-dynamics, with a general increase in acetylations as an internal control. To illustrate the scalability, the workflow was applied on a proof-of-concept dose-response library of a total of ten compounds with either i) a known effect on the hPTMs (BIX-01294, 3-Deazaneplanocin A, Trichostatin A, and VPA), ii) a presumed developmental toxicity, including compounds of abuse (Caffeine, Ethanol, Nicotine, Methotrexate, and All-trans retinoic acid), or iii) no proven embryotoxicity (Penicillin G). In conclusion, we show that toxicoepigenetic screening on histones is feasible and yields very rich data that holds great potential, not only for applications in the pharmaceutical industry, but also for environmental toxicity and food safety.

Proximity proteomics using AMPL-MS coupled to analysis for histone modification

Project description:Eukaryotic chromatin is organised in individual domains, which are defined by their location within the nuclear space and their distinct proteomic compositions. In contrast to cellular organelles surrounded by lipid membranes, the composition of distinct chromatin domains is rather ill described and considered to be highly dynamic. To identify proteins associated with a specific chromatin domain and to better understand how those domains are established and maintained, we established AMPL-MS (Antibody mediated proximity labelling mass spectrometry). As this method is based on antibodies and does not require the expression of fusion proteins, it constitutes a versatile and very sensitive method to characterize chromatin domains containing specific signature proteins or histone modifications. We used AMPL-MS to characterize the chromocenter as well as the chromosome territory containing the hyperactive X-chromosome in Drosophila. Our data revealed the presence of many RNA binding proteins in these domains thereby underscoring the importance of nuclear RNA in the organisation of the genome.

Epigenome-wide impact of MAT2A sustains the androgen-indifferent state and confers synthetic vulnerability in ERG fusion-positive prostate cancer

Project description:Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is a frequently occurring disease with adverse clinical outcomes and limited therapeutic options. Here, we identify a novel role of methionine adenosyltransferase 2a (MAT2A) as a driver of the androgen-indifferent state in ERG fusion-positive CRPC. We show that MAT2A is upregulated in CRPC and cooperates with ERG in promoting cell plasticity, stemness and tumorigenesis. RNA, ATAC and ChIP sequencing coupled with mass spectrometry analysis of histone post-translational modifications show that MAT2A broadly impacts the transcriptional and epigenetic landscape. MAT2A enhances H3K4me2 at multiple genomic sites promoting the expression of pro-tumorigenic non-canonical AR target genes in CRPC models. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of MAT2A in preclinical models reversed this transcriptional and epigenetic remodeling, promoting luminal differentiation and improving the response to AR and EZH2 inhibitors. This data reveals a previously unrecognized function of MAT2A in epigenetic reprogramming and a synthetic vulnerability to MAT2A inhibitors in ERG fusion-positive CRPC.
