Team 01: Genomic Imprinting and the epigenetic control of cell fate determination

Correct embryonic development of organisms relies on the unique capability of pluripotent stem cells to differentiate in (almost) all cell types of the organism. During this tightly regulated process stem cells progressively develop a narrower potential that ultimately results in commitment to a specific cell fate with specific gene expression profiles and functional properties.

This developmental program requires the concerted action of sequence-specific transcription factors and cell signalling, but it is also accompanied or caused by epigenetic modifications.

Our thematic precisely  aims to address if and how histone modifications could be part of a –short-term– flexible epigenetic silencing mechanism, potentially involved in cell fate decisions. In this purpose, we are focusing on the so called bivalent chromatin structures. These structures are unusual because their histone H3 is concomitantly marked by the “active” H3K4me and the “repressive” H3K27me3 modifications. Bivalent domains were initially detected at promoters of many genes in both human and mouse ES cells. In the proposed model, bivalent chromatin domains act to repress gene transcription through H3K27me3, while keeping genes "poised" for alternative fates for when a differentiation pathway is induced by specific developmental cues However, their precise role in development remains controversial because probing the function of bivalent domains in developing organisms remains a challenge.

To gain insight into this important issue we  analyse bivalency in two well defined frames, accounting for both normal and pathological contexts, namely in the genomic imprinting developmental process and in glioma tumors.

From our recent data it emerges that control of neural-specific imprinted expression on one hand, and alteration of HOX cluster in gliomas, in other hand, are especially relevant and useful models to decipher how bivalent chromatin domains are (de)regulated in both normal and pathological contexts and further evaluate the function of these structures in a developmental context. Specifically, our rational is that  bivalent domains sharing the same fate upon development are regulated by few key factors that are at the node of networks of long-range physical interactions . Our project, conducted  on these two models,  is designed to reveal these networks , identify the underlying key factors and functionally determine their implication in normal and pathological context.
