The Heterochromatin protein 1 is a master regulator in RNA splicing precision deficient in ulcerative colitis

Chiara Guerrera

Résumé

Defects in RNA splicing have been linked to numerous human disorders, but remain poorly explored in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we report that, in the gut epithelium of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), the expression of the chromatin and alternative splicing regulator HP1γ is strongly reduced. Accordingly, inactivation of the HP1γ gene in the mouse gut triggered several IBD-like traits, including inflammation and dysbiosis. In parallel, we discovered that its loss of function broadly increased splicing noise, reducing requirement for canonical splicing consensus sequences, and favoring the usage of cryptic splice sites at numerous genes with key functions in gut biology. This notably resulted in the production of progerin, a noncanonical toxic splice variant of prelamin A mRNA, responsible for the Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) of premature aging. Likewise, production of progerin transcript was found to be a signature of colonic cells from UC patients. Thus, our study identifies HP1γ as a regulator of RNA metabolism in vivo , providing a unique mechanism linking anti-inflammation and accuracy of RNA splicing in the gut epithelium. HP1 defect may confer a general disturbance in RNA splicing precision to scrutinize in IBD and more generally in accelerating aging diseases.
