Project description:Activation of lineage-specific gene expression programs is mediated by the sequence-specific recruitment of transcriptional coactivators to chromatin. This occurs via interaction with lineage specific DNA binding transcription factors. The lineage factor PAX8 drives essential gene expression in ovarian cancer cells and is required for tumor proliferation. However, the molecular details surrounding co-factor recruitment and specific activation of transcription by PAX8 remain unknow. Here, we identify an important functional interaction between PAX8 and the Switch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complex. We show that PAX8 can recruit SWI/SNF complexes to DNA, where they function to open chromatin and facilitate expression of PAX8 target genes. Genetic deletion of PAX8 results in loss of SWI/SNF from PAX8 bound enhancers, loss of expression of associated target genes, and reduced proliferation. These results can be phenocopied by pharmacological inhibition of SWI/SNF ATPase activity. These data indicate that PAX8 mediates the expression of an essential ovarian cancer proliferative program in part by the recruitment of chromatin remodelers.

Project description:The SWI/SNF (or BAF) complex is an essential chromatin remodeler that regulates DNA accessibility at developmental genes and enhancers. SWI/SNF subunits are among the most frequently mutated genes in cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. These mutations are often heterozygous loss-of-function alleles, indicating a dosage-sensitive role for SWI/SNF subunits in chromatin regulation. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate SWI/SNF subunit dosage to ensure proper complex assembly remain largely unexplored. We performed a genome-wide CRISPR KO screen, using epigenome editing in mouse embryonic stem cells, and identified Mlf2 and Rbm15 as regulators of SWI/SNF complex activity. First, we show that MLF2, a poorly characterized chaperone protein, regulates a subset of SWI/SNF target genes by promoting its chromatin remodeling activity. Rapid degradation of MLF2 reduces chromatin accessibility at sites that depend on high levels of SWI/SNF binding to maintain open chromatin. Next, we find that RBM15, part of the m6A RNA methylation writer complex, controls m6A modifications on specific SWI/SNF mRNAs to regulate protein levels of these subunits. Misregulation of m6A methylation causes overexpression of core SWI/SNF subunits leading to the assembly of incomplete complexes lacking the catalytic ATPase/ARP subunits. These data indicate that targeting modulators of SWI/SNF complex assembly may offer a potent therapeutic strategy for diseases associated with impaired chromatin remodeling.

Project description:A systems understanding of nuclear organization and events is critical for determining how cells divide, differentiate and respond to stimuli and for identifying the causes of diseases. Chromatin remodeling complexes such as SWI/SNF have been implicated in a wide variety of cellular processes including gene expression, nuclear organization, centromere function and chromosomal stability, and mutations in SWI/SNF components have been linked to several types of cancer. To better understand the biological processes in which chromatin remodeling proteins participate we globally mapped binding regions for several components of the SWI/SNF complex throughout the human genome using ChIP-Seq. SWI/SNF components were found to lie near regulatory elements integral to transcription (e.g. 5M-bM-^@M-^Y ends, RNA Polymerases II and III and enhancers) as well as regions critical for chromosome organization (e.g. CTCF, lamins and DNA replication origins). To further elucidate the association of SWI/SNF subunits with each other as well as with other nuclear proteins we also analyzed SWI/SNF immunoprecipitated complexes by mass spectrometry. Individual SWI/SNF factors are associated with their own family members as well as with cellular constituents such as nuclear matrix proteins, key transcription factors and centromere components implying a ubiquitous role in gene regulation and nuclear function. We find an overrepresentation of both SWI/SNF-associated regions and proteins in cell cycle and chromosome organization. Taken together the results from our ChIP and immunoprecipitation experiments suggest that SWI/SNF facilitates gene regulation and genome function more broadly and through a greater diversity of interactions than previously appreciated.

Project description:Transcription factors(TF) plays a key role in hematopoiesis via promoting cell-type specific gene expression. A subset of TFs, canonically termed “pioneer factors”, possesses the ability to bind to otherwise inaccessible heterochromatin regions, and recruit additional TFs, co-activators, and chromatin remodelers to establish activating/repressive cis-regulatory elements(CRE). To date, few of these TFs with pioneer activity has been elucidated in hematopoiesis. CUX1, a homeobox containing TF frequently mutated in a range of hematological malignancies, has been reported to regulate essential cellular processes and regulate myeloid vs erythroid differentiation. However, the molecular mechanism governing its transcriptional function remains unclear. Using a multi-faceted functional genomic approach, we discovered that CUX1 interacts and recruits the chromatin remodeler SWI/SNF to distal enhancers in both lymphoblast K562 cell line and primary human HSPC. The interaction promotes an accessible state of chromatin, changes in nucleosome positioning and transcriptional programs. We also discovered that the CUX1 & SWI/SNF binding sites are co-occupied by other hematopoietic transcriptional factors. Together this revealed a unique mechanism of CUX1’s regulatory function in hematopoietic development: it recruits SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler to distal enhancers, establish an accessible chromatin landscape and enabled other hematopoietic TFs to bind and activates cell-type specific gene expression programs.

Project description:Appropriate gene expression requires the establishment of accessible chromatin at promoters and enhancers. These patterns are maintained thorugh the action of, such as the SWI/SNF family. Despite this critical role, previous studies have remained inconclusive regarding the direct role of SWI/SNF. Herein, we employ BRM014, a fast-acting small-molecule inhibitor of the SWI/SNF ATPase subunit, to probe the direct response of mouse embryonic stem cells to disruption of appropriate SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling activity. We demonstrate that the immediate role of SWI/SNF inhibition is a broad loss of chromatin accessibility at both promoter and enhancer loci, and this is reflected in an associated reduction in nascent transcription. We determine that this initial perturbation can be compensated for at a majority of gene promoters, such that these elements regain accessibilty and gene expression under prolonged treatment. However, a subset of gene promoters, as well as most enhancers, fail to recover under these conditions. Finally, we identify EP400 as a putative factor driving compensation ability, as the loss of this factor impedes promoter recovery.

Project description:Cancer cells frequently depend on chromatin regulatory activities to maintain a malignant phenotype. Here, we show that leukemia cells require the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex for their survival and aberrant self-renewal potential. While Brg1, an ATPase subunit of SWI/SNF, is known to suppress tumor formation in several cancer types, we found that leukemia cells instead rely on Brg1 to support their oncogenic transcriptional program, which includes Myc as one of its key targets. To account for this context-specific function, we identify a cluster of lineage-specific enhancers located 1.7 megabases downstream of Myc that are occupied by SWI/SNF, as well as the BET protein Brd4. Brg1 is required at these distal elements to maintain transcription factor occupancy and for long-range chromatin looping interactions with the Myc promoter. Notably, these distal Myc enhancers coincide with a region that is focally amplified in 3% of acute myeloid leukemia. Together, these findings define a leukemia maintenance function for SWI/SNF that is linked to enhancer-mediated gene regulation, providing general insights into how cancer cells exploit transcriptional coactivators to maintain oncogenic gene expression programs In order to understanding the transcription regulation network downstream of Brg1 in murine AML, we performed microarray in murine MLL-AF9/NrasG12D cell line under the condition that Brg1 was suppressed by three independent shRNAs for 96h.
