Project description:This dataset contains whole-genome RNA sequencing results from cortical neuronal cultures and serves as the basis for characterization of extra-coding RNA species from neuronal systems. This experiment contains six biological samples, each of which underwent PolyA+ and PolyA- RNA-seq. Samples were either unstimulated (i.e., treated with media alone; samples V1 and V2), stimulated with 25mM potassium chloride for 1hr (K1, K2) or inactivated with tetrodotoxin for 1hr (T1, T2). Datasets were obtained using RNA-seq from PolyA+ fractions or PolyA- fractions of RNA. PolyA- fractions are denoted "ec". Thus, 12 samples are listed here due to the difference in RNA library preparation.

Project description:Creating long-lasting memories relies on learning-induced changes in gene expression, which are regulated by epigenetic modifications of DNA and associated histone proteins. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histone proteins are key regulators of transcription, with different PTMs producing unique effects on gene activity and behavior. Although recent studies began to investigate histone variants as key regulators of memory formation, PTMs are rarely considered in relation to their function. Here, we analyze the role of acetylation of histone variant H2A.Z.1 in memory and gene expression. To this end, we developed AAV constructs to overexpress mutated H2A.Z.1 isoforms that either mimic acetylation (acetyl-mimetic) by replacing lysines 4, 7 and 11 with glutamine (KQ), or that have impaired acetylation (acetyl-defective) by replacing the same lysine with alanine (KA). We found that overexpression of the acetyl-mimetic (H2A.Z.1KQ) or the acetyl-defective (H2A.Z.1KA) isoforms of H2A.Z.1 in the hippocampus produces different effects on memory depending on strength of the task and sex, with H2A.Z.1KQ generally having a beneficial effect on memory, while H2A.Z.1KA results in impaired memory. We further analyzed gene expression data and found that H2A.Z.1KQ and H2A.Z.1KA uniquely impact the expression of different classes of genes in females and males. However, different genes are regulated by different isoforms in the 2 sexes. Finally, we describe, for the first time, that H2A.Z is involved in the alternative splicing of neuronal genes. Notably, H2A.Z depletion and its replacement with different isoforms influence transcription and splicing of different genes, suggesting that H2A.Z.1 can regulate genes through splicing and expression levels. This is the first study demonstrating that direct manipulation of the levels of AcH2A.Z regulates memory, gene expression and splicing. Overall, this study adds another layer of complexity to the contribution of histone variants to higher brain functions, consolidating H2A.Z as a key regulator of memory.

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and direct regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation.

Project description:Histone variants are key components of the epigenetic code and evolved to perform specific functions in transcriptional regulation, DNA repair, chromosome segregation and other fundamental processes. H2B.Z is a rare, apicomplexan-specific variant of histone H2B. Here we show that in Plasmodium falciparum H2B.Z localises to euchromatic intergenic regions throughout intraerythrocytic development and together with H2A.Z forms a double-variant nucleosomes subtype. These nucleosomes are enriched in promoters over 3’ intergenic regions and their occupancy generally correlates with the strength of the promoter, but not with its temporal activity. Remarkably, H2B.Z occupancy levels exhibit a clear correlation with the base-composition of the underlying DNA, raising the intriguing possibility that the extreme AT-content of the intergenic regions within the Plasmodium genome might be instructive for histone variant deposition. In summary, our data shows that the H2A.Z/H2B.Z double-variant nucleosome demarcates putative regulatory regions of the P. falciparum epigenome and likely provides a scaffold for dynamic regulation of gene expression in this deadly human pathogen. Genome-wide localization of H2B.Z has been studied at three stages of intraerythrocytic development by Illumina sequencing of chromatin-immunoprecipitated and input DNA.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z plays key roles in gene expression, DNA repair, and centromere function. H2A.Z deposition is controlled by SWR-C chromatin remodeling enzymes that catalyze the nucleosomal exchange of canonical H2A with H2A.Z. Here we report that acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56Ac) alters the substrate specificity of SWR-C, leading to promiscuous dimer exchange where either H2A.Z or H2A can be exchanged from nucleosomes. This result is confirmed in vivo, where genome-wide analysis demonstrates widespread decreases in H2A.Z levels in yeast mutants with hyperacetylated H3K56. Our work also suggests that a conserved SWR-C subunit may function as a M-bM-^@M-^\lockM-bM-^@M-^] that prevents removal of H2A.Z from nucleosomes. Our study identifies a histone modification that regulates a chromatin remodeling reaction and provides insights into how histone variants and nucleosome turnover can be controlled by chromatin regulators.

Project description:Segmental instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by bronchoscopy can be used as a model to safely induce transient airway inflammation in the human lung. The LPS challenge model enables investigation of cellular mechanisms involved in pulmonary inflammatory processes as well as pharmacodynamic analysis of investigational drugs for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Aim of this work was to describe the transcriptomic profile of the human segmental LPS challenge model with contextualization to major respiratory diseases. Pre-challenge bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) and biopsies were sampled from twenty-eight smoking, healthy subjects, followed by segmental LPS challenge and saline control challenge. Twenty-four hours post instillation, BAL and biopsies were collected from the challenged lung segments. Total RNA of cells from BAL and biopsy samples were sequenced for subsequent data analysis. Differential gene expression analysis resulted in 6316 upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 241 downregulated DEG in BAL, but only one downregulated DEG in biopsy samples after LPS challenge compared to saline challenge. Upregulated DEG in BAL were related to molecular functions such as “Inflammatory response” or “antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide”, enriched biological processes such as “chemokine receptor activity”, and upregulated pro-inflammatory pathways such as “Wnt signaling pathway”, “Ras signaling pathway” or “JAK-STAT signaling pathway”. Furthermore, the segmental LPS challenge model resembled aspects of the five most prevalent respiratory diseases chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, tuberculosis and lung cancer and featured similarities with acute exacerbations in COPD (AECOPD) and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Overall, our study provides extensive information about the transcriptomic profile from BAL cells and mucosal biopsies following LPS challenge in healthy smokers. It expands the knowledge about the LPS challenge model providing potential overlap with respiratory diseases in general and infection-triggered respiratory insults such as AECOPD in particular.

Project description:The histone variant H2A.Z is a hallmark of nucleosomes flanking the promoters of protein coding genes, and is often found in nucleosomes that also carry lysine 56- acetylated histone H3 (H3-K56Ac), a mark which promotes rapid replication- independent turnover of nucleosomes. Although H2A.Z and H3-K56Ac have been generally implicated in transcriptional activation, their exact contributions have remained elusive. Here we find that H3-K56Ac promotes RNA polymerase II occupancy at a large number of protein coding and noncoding loci, yet neither H3- K56Ac nor H2A.Z has a significant impact on steady state mRNA levels in yeast. Instead, broad effects of H3-K56Ac or H2A.Z on levels of both coding and noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are only revealed in the absence of the nuclear RNA exosome. H2A.Z is also necessary for expression of divergent, promoter-proximal ncRNAs in mouse embryonic stem cells, suggesting a conserved role for H2A.Z across eukaryotes. Finally, we show that H2A.Z functions with H3-K56Ac in chromosome folding, facilitating formation of chromosome interaction domains (CIDs). Our study suggests that H2A.Z and H3-K56Ac work in concert with the RNA exosome to control mRNA and ncRNA expression, perhaps in part by regulating higher order chromatin structures. 2 replicates of WT (CY1089), rtt109â (CY2210), rrp6â (CY2071) and one replicate of the W303 input (Sample 7).
