- Abstract
- Recent studies have shown that epigenomic modifications are significantly associated with neuronal differentiation. Many neuronal specific genes contain the repressor element-1 (RE-1), which recruits epigenetic modulators such as the histone methyltransferase G9a and interrupts the expression of neuronal genes in non-neuronal cells. This study investigated the functional role of G9a during neuronal differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). Human BM-MSCs treated with BIX01294 as G9a inhibitor showed an increased expression of various neuronal-lineage genes. Using genomic sequence analysis, I identified RE-1 consensus sequences in the proximal region of several neuronal specific genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay results have showed that H3K9me2 (dimethylation of lysine 9 on histone 3) occupancy at RE-1 containing sequences from neuronal specific genes was significantly decreased in BIX01294-MSCs. When BIX01294-MSCs were differentiated with neuronal induction medium, cells differentiated more effectively into neuron-like cells complete with a cell body and dendrites. Expression of neuronal specific genes containing the RE-1 sequences was significantly increased in differentiated BIX01294-MSCs, as confirmed by immunocytochemical staining and immunoblotting. Thus, this study shows that BIX01294-pretreated human BM-MSCs can be effectively differentiated into neuron-like cells by induced expression of neuronal specific genes containing RE-1 sequences. I have further investigated the correlation between protective effect and expression of RE-1 containing neuronal specific genes in G9a inhibited neuronal cells. I have identified the H3K9me2 is increased in hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) treated SH-SY5Y cells and that decreased by G9a inhibition. Therefore, I suggest that G9a inhibition was may contribute in treatment of neurodegenerative disorders by oxidative stresses.| 현재 연구들은 후생 유전적 변형이 신경분화에 크게 관여한다고 보고된다. 많은 신경특이 유전자들은 repressor element-1 (RE-1)을 포함하고 있고, 이곳에 히스톤 메틸화 효소 G9a와 같은 후생 유전적 조절자들이 결합하여 비 신경세포에서 신경 유전자의 발현을 억제한다. 본 연구에서는 인간 골수 중간엽 줄기세포(BM-MSCs)의 신경분화 동안 G9a의 기능적인 역할을 조사하였다. G9a 억제제 BIX01294가 처리된 인간 골수 중간엽 줄기세포는 다양한 신경계통 유전자의 발현이 증가하는 것이 관찰된다. 본 연구에서 유전자 서열분석을 이용하여 다양한 신경 특이 유전자에서 RE-1 공통서열을 확인하였다. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)를 이용하여 신경 특이 유전자의 RE-1을 포함하는 서열에서 H3K9me2의 정도를 확인해본 결과 BIX01294가 처리된 중간엽 줄기세포에서 H3K9me2이 크게 감소되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 신경세포 분화 유도 배지에서 BIX01294가 전 처리된 세포가 BIX01294가 전 처리되지 않은 세포보다 신경세포로의 분화가 좀 더 잘 이루어지는 것을 확인하였다. Immunocytochemistry staining 과 immunoblotting을 이용한 RE-1을 포함하는 신경 특이 유전자의 발현분석에서 BIX01294 전 처리 후 분화를 유도한 중간엽 줄기세포가 BIX01294 전 처리 없이 분화를 유도한 중간엽 줄기세포에 비해 RE-1을 포함하는 신경 특이 유전자의 발현이 크게 증가하여 있는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구는 BIX01294가 전 처리된 인간 골수 중간엽 줄기세포가 RE-1을 포함하는 신경 특이 유전자의 발현 유도에 의해 신경세포로의 분화가 촉진되었음을 제시한다. 더 나아가 G9a가 억제된 신경 세포에서 RE-1을 포함하는 신경특이 유전자들의 발현과 보호효과 사이에 연관성을 조사했다. 이 연구에서 과산화수소가 처리된 SH-SY5Y 세포에서 H3K9me2가 증가하는 것을 확인했고 이것은 G9a 억제에 의해 감소된다. 그러므로, G9a 억제는 신경세포에서 산화스트레스에 의해 유도되는 신경세포 손상에서 세포 보호 효과가 있을 것이라고 제안한다.
