A hyper-dynamic nature of bivalent promoter states underlies coordinated developmental gene expression modules

ABSTRACT: Adipose stem cells (ASCs) and adipocytes play a crucial role in maintaining energy balance. We aim to examine the temporal relationship between gene expression and histone modification transitions during in vitro differentiation of human ASCs into adipocytes. Here, we examine by RNAseq proliferating ASCs (Day -2 prior to adipogenic induction), confluent ASCs (Day 0, adipogenic induction), pre-adipocytes (Day 3) and maturing adipocytes (Day 9). We find 1060, 5452 and 2216 genes differentially expressed between D-2/D0, D0/D3 and D3/D9 respectively. We identify gene clusters with distinct and dynamic expression patterns. In particular, adipogenic induction is marked by temporal waves of gene induction and downregulation. We report two types of transcriptional waves: (i) those showing transien
