Outline of Final Research Achievements

Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins catalyze repressive histone marks. Canonical polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 1 containing Pcgf4/Bmi1 has been implicated in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). We analyzed the role of non-canonical PRC1.1 consisting of Pcgf1, Kdm2b, Bcor and Ring1b using conditional knockout mice. We found that PRC1.1 was dispensable for self-renewal capacity of HSCs. Instead, PRC1.1 insufficiency enhanced commitment of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to myeloid lineage and induced myeloid-biased differentiation, eventually leading to the development of lethal myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN). Comprehensive analyses revealed that master transcriptional factor genes for myeloid differentiation, such as Cebpa, were up-regulated following a reduction in H2AK119ub1 levels in PRC1.1-insufficient HSPCs, resulting in the premature activation of their targets. These results indicate that PRC1.1 negatively regulates myeloid commitment of HSPCs.
