Description
Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) catalyzes histone H3 lysine 27 tri-methylation, an epigenetic modification associated with gene repression. H3K27me3 is enriched at the promoters of a large cohort of developmental genes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Loss of H3K27me3 leads to a failure of ESCs to properly differentiate, which presents a major roadblock for dissecting the precise roles of PRC2 activity during lineage commitment. While recent studies suggest that loss of H3K27me3 leads to changes in DNA methylation in ESCs, how these two pathways coordinate to regulate gene expression programs during lineage commitment is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed gene expression and DNA methylation levels in several PRC2 mutant ESC lines that maintain varying levels of H3K27me3. We found that maintenance of intermediate levels of H3K27me3 allowed for proper temporal activation of lineage genes during directed differentiation of ESCs to spinal motor neurons (SMNs). However, genes that function to specify other lineages failed to be repressed, suggesting that PRC2 activity is necessary for lineage fidelity. We also found that H3K27me3 is antagonistic to DNA methylation in cis. Furthermore, loss of H3K27me3 leads to a gain in promoter DNA methylation in developmental genes in ESCs and in lineage genes during differentiation. Thus, our data suggest a role for PRC2 in coordinating dynamic gene repression while protecting against inappropriate promoter DNA methylation during differentiation. Overall design: Embryonic Stem Cell (ESC) lines mutant for PRC2 core components Suz12 (Suz12GT and Suz12delta) and Eed (Eednull) were subjected to in vitro directed differentiation down the spinal motor neuron lineage. ESCs and day 5 differentiated cells from the three mutant lines and wild-type were used for RNA-seq.

Description
Host cells harbor various intrinsic mechanisms to restrict viral infections as a first line of antiviral defense. Viruses have evolved various countermeasures against these antiviral mechanisms. Here we show that N-Myc Downstream-Reguated Gene 1 (NDRG1) limits productive HCV infection by inhibiting viral assembly. Interestingly, HCV infection down-regulates NDRG1 protein and mRNA expression. Loss of NDRG1 increases the size and number of lipid droplets, which are the sites of HCV assembly. HCV suppresses NDRG1 expression by up-regulating MYC, which directly inhibits the transcription of NDRG1.

Description
Organization of the genome in 3D nuclear-space is known to play a crucial role in regulation of gene expression. However, the chromatin architecture that impinges on the B cell-fate choice of multi-potent progenitors remains unclear. By employing in situ Hi-C, we have identified distinct sets of genomic loci that undergo a developmental switch between permissive and repressive compartments during B-cell fate commitment. Intriguingly, we show that topologically associating domains (TADs) represent co-regulated subunits of chromatin and display considerable structural alterations as a result of changes in the cis-regulatory interaction landscape. The extensive rewiring of cis-regulatory interactions is closely associated with differential gene expression programs. Further, we demonstrate the regulatory role of Ebf1 and its downstream factor, Pax5, in chromatin reorganization and transcription regulation. Together, our studies reveal that alterations in promoter and cis-regulatory interactions underlie changes in higher-order chromatin architecture, which in turn determines cell-identity and cell-type specific gene expression patterns.

Description
Stable activation of the WNT signaling effector beta-catenin (CTNNB1(ex3) in ovarian granulosa cells results in the formation of premalignant lesions that develop into granulosa cell tumors (GCTs) spontaneously later in life. Loss of the tumor suppressor gene Pten accelerates GCT formation in the CTNNB1 strain. Conversely, expression of oncogenic KRASG12D causes the dramatic arrest of proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in granulosa cells, and consequently, small abnormal follicle-like structures devoid of oocytes accumulate in the ovary. Because of the potent anti-proliferative effects of KRASG12D in granulosa cells, we sought to determine if KRASG12D would block precancerous lesion and tumor formation in follicles of the CTNNB1 mutant mice. Unexpectedly, transgenic Ctnnb1;Kras mutant mice developed early-onset GCTs leading to premature death in a manner similar to theCtnnb1;Pten mutant mice. Moreover, the GCTs in the Ctnnb1;Kras mutant mice exhibited increased GC proliferation, decreased apoptosis and impaired differentiation. Microarray and RT-PCR analyses revealed that ovaries from mice expressing dominant-stable CTNNB1 with either Pten loss or KRAS activation were unpredictably similar. Specifically, gene regulatory processes induced by CTNNB1 were mostly enhanced by either KRAS activation or Pten loss in remarkably similar patterns and degree. Furthermore, the concomitant activation of CTNNB1 and KRAS in Sertoli cells resulted in the development of granulosa cell tumors of the testis. RT-PCR studies showed a partial overlap in gene regulatory processes associated with tumor development in the ovary and testis. Together, these results suggest that KRAS activation and Pten loss induce GCT development from premalignant lesions via highly similar molecular mechanisms.
Publication Title
Either Kras activation or Pten loss similarly enhance the dominant-stable CTNNB1-induced genetic program to promote granulosa cell tumor development in the ovary and testis.

Description
We used a combination of genome-wide and promoter-specific DNA binding and expression analyses to assess the functional roles of Myod and Myog in regulating the program of skeletal muscle gene expression. Our findings indicate that Myod and Myog have distinct regulatory roles at a similar set of target genes. At genes expressed throughout the program of myogenic differentiation, Myod can bind and recruit histone acetyltransferases. At early targets, Myod is sufficient for near full expression; whereas, at late expressed genes Myod initiates regional histone modification but is not sufficient for gene expression. At these late genes, Myog does not bind efficiently without Myod, however, transcriptional activation requires the combined activity of Myod and Myog. Therefore, the role of Myog in mediating terminal differentiation is, in part, to enhance expression of a subset of genes previously initiated by Myod.
Publication Title
Global and gene-specific analyses show distinct roles for Myod and Myog at a common set of promoters.
