Genome-wide maps of Foxa2 binding sites in mouse embryonic stem cell-derived definitive endoderm cells

ABSTRACT: Foxa2 is required for endoderm differentiation into hepatic lineage. The mechanism of activation for Foxa2 during this developmental process has not been elucidated yet. We established an in vitro system to guide ES cells differentiating into definitive endoderm (DE) cells and the following DE cells to early hepatic cells. ChIP-seq assays have been successfully performed to assess Foxa2 binding profile. Over 50% of Foxa2 target genes in DE cells were found being activated in hepatic cells which were at a stage later than DE stage. Therefore, our finding at genome-wide level proved Foxa2 serving as a pioneer factor at DE stage. Furthermore, Foxa2 could specifically induce H3K4me2 modifications to the promoter/enhancer regions of many hepatic genes to pre-mark the chromatin, and determine the hepatic lineage differentiation competence. Our study illustrated the wide existence of Foxa2M-bM-^@M-^Ys pioneer factor function and uncovered the correlation between pioneer factor and chromatin pre-mark. These findings will be helpful for understanding the developmental process of hepatogenesis and efficiently controlling Foxa2 during hepatic induction for generating functional hepatocytes.

These findings will be helpful for understanding the developmental process of hepatogenesis and efficiently controlling Foxa2 during hepatic induction for generating functional hepatocytes. To further gain a genome-wide view of Foxa2's effects on its target gene expression, 3 representative time points from the ES cell differentiation process to hepatic cells were selected for cDNA microarray analysis: 1) Day 0, representing ES cells, where there was no Foxa2 expression; 2) Day 5, representing DE cells; and 3) Day 7, representing early hepatic cells.

Genome-wide analysis of Estrogen Receptor-mediated response to acute Estradiol treatment in liver (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Estrogen-based treatments have numerous extra-reproductive effects. On the one hand, they have protective metabolic actions against abdominal fat accumulation, type 2 diabetes, liver steatosis,â¦ But, on the other hand, the oral route of administration, presumably due to a hepatic impact on liver-derived coagulation factors, appears to increase risks of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The characterization of liver genes expression regulations by these hormones thereby appears of utmost interest, but the estrogen-sensitive transcriptome of liver and ER cistrome was so far explored under chronic hormonal treatment. To explore the early steps of these mechanisms, we determined here the short-term changes in liver transcriptional responses to acute E2 administration, and aimed to characterize the mechanisms allowing these programs to be engaged. Collectively, through the comparison of mice expressing or not ER, our data demonstrate that acute administration of E2 provokes genes expression variations which fit with a crucial role of ER in the prevention of liver steatosis in mice fed with a high fat diet by E2. They also evidenced higher proportion of ER binding sites (BSs) located at the direct vicinity (distance <3kb) of regulated genes than what is determined in human cancer cell models. Besides this specific aspect of ER cistrome in vivo, we unexpectedly found that 40 % of the BSs of the pioneer factor Foxa2 were dependent upon the expression of ER that indirectly influences the distribution of the nucleosomes harbouring a dimethylated H3K4 around these Foxa2 sites. Whole-genome analysis of estrogen receptor (ER) and FOXA2 binding events associated with the cartography of two histone marks (H3K4me2 and H3K27ac) in livers from wild-type or ERKO mice.

HEB and E2A function as SMAD/FOXH1 cofactors

Project description:Nodal signaling, mediated through SMAD transcription factors, is necessary for pluripotency maintenance and endoderm commitment. We have identified a new motif, termed SMAD Complex Associated (SCA) that is bound by SMAD2/3/4 and FOXH1 in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived endoderm. We demonstrate that two bHLH proteins - HEB and E2A - bind the SCA motif at regions overlapping SMAD2/3 and FOXH1. Further, we show that HEB and E2A associate with SMAD2/3 and FOXH1, suggesting they form a complex at critical target regions. This association is biologically important, as E2A is critical for mesendoderm specification, gastrulation, and Nodal signal transduction in Xenopus tropicalis embryos. Taken together, E2A is a novel Nodal signaling cofactor that associates with SMAD2/3 and FOXH1 and is necessary for mesendoderm differentiation. ChIP-seq of Smad2/3 and Input in X.tropicalis, stage 10.5 embryo.

Pre-marked chromatin and transcription factor co-binding shape the pioneering activity of Foxa2 [ChIP-seq Histone-Modifications]

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors (PTF) can recognize their binding sites on nucleosomal DNA and trigger chromatin opening for recruitment of other non-pioneer transcription factors. However, critical properties of PTFs are still poorly understood, such as how can these transcription factors selectively recognize cell type-specific binding sites and under which conditions can they initiate chromatin remodelling. Here we show that early endoderm binding sites of the paradigm PTF Foxa2 are epigenetically primed by low levels of active chromatin modifications in embryonic stem cells (ESC). Priming of these binding sites is supported by preferential recruitment of Foxa2 to endoderm binding sites compared to lineage-inappropriate binding sites, when ectopically expressed in ESCs. We further show that binding of Foxa2 is required for chromatin opening during endoderm differentiation. However, increased chromatin accessibility was only detected on binding sites which are synergistically bound with other endoderm transcription factors. Thus, our data suggest that binding site selection of PTFs is directed by the chromatin environment and that chromatin opening requires collaboration of PTFs with additional transcription factors.
