项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY We discovered that innate immune activation facilitates nuclear reprogramming to pluripotency or to a different cell lineage. Our characterization of this process (Lee et al, Cell 2012) 1 has produced new insights into the mechanisms of nuclear reprogramming. We discovered that innate immune activation causes global changes in the expression of epigenetic modifiers, associated with histone markings that favor nuclear reprogramming. We intend to further elucidate the mechanisms by which innate immune activation facilitates direct reprogramming (transdifferentiation). A major factor involved in innate immune response is the inducible enzyme nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Our data indicates that iNOS translocates to the nucleus during transdifferentiation and may directly bind and S-nitrosylate epigenetic modifiers. Accordingly, we intend to: 1. Assess the direct effects of S-nitrosylation on epigenetic regulators during transdifferentiation. We will assess the effect of S-nitrosylation on the activity of selected epigenetic factors, and/or their binding to co- factors or chromatin, using immunoblot analyses, IP and ChIP, and the effect of genetic or pharmacologic manipulation of iNOS. We will also elucidate the importance of iNOS translocation and its physical association with epigenetic modifiers in transdifferentiation using genetic and pharmacological methods to disrupt iNOS translocation and binding to selected epigenetic modifiers. 2. Characterize the effects of S-nitrosylation on DNA accessibility and fidelity of transdifferentiation. We will characterize open chromatin regions using DNAse-Seq and Mnase-Seq; bivalent chromatin markings by ChIP-seq, integrated with a global assessment of the transcriptional regulation (RNA-Seq) and determine the importance of iNOS in the fidelity of epigenetic changes required for activation of cell identity genes.

项目摘要我们发现先天免疫激活有助于核重编程到多能或其他细胞谱系。我们对这一过程的表征（Lee等，Cell 2012）1已对该过程产生了新的见解核重编程的机制。我们发现先天免疫激活会导致全球变化在表观遗传修饰剂的表达中，与有利于核重编程的组蛋白标记有关。我们打算进一步阐明先天免疫激活促进直接的机制重编程（转分化）。与先天免疫反应有关的主要因素是诱导酶一氧化氮合酶（iNOS）。我们的数据表明，iNOS在转分化，可能直接结合和S-硝基遗传遗传学修饰剂。因此，我们打算： 1。评估S-亚硝基化对跨分化过程中表观遗传调节剂的直接影响。我们将评估硝基化对选定表观遗传因子活性和/或它们与共同的影响的影响因素或染色质，使用免疫印迹分析，IP和CHIP以及遗传或药理的影响操纵iNOS。我们还将阐明iNOS易位及其物理关联的重要性使用遗传学和药理方法破坏iNOS的转化构遗传学修饰符易位并与选定的表观遗传修饰剂结合。 2。表征S-亚硝基化对DNA可及性和转分化的保真度的影响。我们将使用DNase-Seq和MNase-Seq表征开放的染色质区域；二价染色质标记通过Chip-Seq，与转录调节（RNA-Seq）的全球评估集成并确定 iNOS在激活细胞身份基因所需的表观遗传变化的忠诚度中的重要性。
