Project description:Developmental gene expression is tightly regulated by the dynamic interplay of H3K4 and H3K27 methylation associated with active and repressed genes, respectively. However, our understanding of the individual and combinatorial roles these histone modifications play in a physiological context remains incomplete. Here, we have leveraged histone mutant transgenic tools to uncover a previously unappreciated role for H3K4 methylation in adult hematopoiesis. Adult mice globally depleted for all forms of H3K4 methylation via expression of an inducible histone H3 lysine-4-to-methionine (H3K4M) mutant allele succumbed to a severe loss of all major blood cell types. Unexpectedly however, H3K4M-expressing hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and committed progenitors were present at normal numbers and persisted long-term when transplanted into mice alongside unperturbed bone marrow, indicating that H3K4 methylation is dispensable for the maintenance and early commitment of HSCs but essential for the maturation of downstream progenitors. Importantly, the restoration of H3K4 methylation in H3K4M animals rescued their morbidity, released progenitors from the maturation block and enabled normal blood cell production. Mechanistically, we showed that H3K4 methylation opposes the deposition of repressive H3K27 methylation at differentiation-associated genes bivalently marked by H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 in HSCs or progenitors. Indeed, by concomitantly suppressing H3K27 methylation in H3K4 methylation-depleted mice we could rescue the acute lethality, hematopoietic failure and gene dysregulation. Collectively, our results reveal that H3K4 methylation safeguards hematopoiesis by opposing repressive H3K27 methylation at fate-instructive bivalent genes, providing evidence for the functional interaction between these crucial chromatin marks in mammalian tissue homeostasis.
