Dioxygenases of the TET family impact genome functions by converting 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, but the individual contribution of the three family members to differentiation and function of myeloid cells is still incompletely understood. Using cells with a deletion in the Tet2 gene, we show that TET2 contributes to the regulation of mast cell differentiation, proliferation and effector functions. The differentiation defect observed in absence of TET2 could be however completely rescued or further exacerbated by modulating TET3 activity, and it was primarily linked to dysregulated expression of the C/EBP family of transcription factors. In contrast, hyper-proliferation induced by the lack of TET2 could not be modified by TET3. Together, our data indicate the existence of both overlapping and unique roles of individual TET proteins in regulating myeloid cell gene expression, proliferation and function. Overall design: Total mRNA of FACS-sorted Kit+ FceRIa+ populations of primary bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) from Tet2-/- and Tet2+/+ animals was extracted and subjected to multiparallel sequencing.

View SamplesAvian coccidiosis is a major disease of poultry caused by the intestinal protozoa Eimeria. Aviagen line A and line B birds show differential susceptibility to Eimeria infection, with line B birds exhibiting higher lesion scores and mortality. The objective of this study was to examine differential intestinal gene expression between line A and B chicks in response to a challenge with Eimeria maxima. Following challenge with 1 x 10^4 oocysts/chick, greater than 40% of line A chicks had lesion scores of 0 to 1 (on 0 to 4 scale), similar to controls. In contrast, all line B challenged chicks at this same dose had lesion scores of 2 to 4.

View SamplesCircadian and metabolic physiology are intricately intertwined, as illustrated by Rev-erb , a transcription factor (TF) that functions both as a core repressive component of the cell autonomous clock and as a regulator of metabolic genes. Here we show that Rev-erb modulates the clock and metabolism by different genomic mechanisms. Clock control requires Rev-erb to bind directly to the genome at its cognate sites, where it competes with activating ROR TFs. By contrast, Rev-erb regulates metabolic genes primarily by recruiting the HDAC3 corepressor to sites to which it is tethered by cell type-specific transcription factors. Thus, direct competition between Rev-erb and ROR TFs provides a universal mechanism for self-sustained control of molecular clock across all tissues, whereas Rev-erb utilizes lineage-determining factors to convey a tissue-specific epigenomic rhythm that regulates metabolism tailored to the specific need of that tissue.
