Multi-omic analysis reveals dynamic changes of three-dimensional chromatin architecture during T cell differentiation.

ABSTRACT: Cell differentiation results in widespread changes in transcriptional programs as well as multi-level remodeling of three-dimensional genome architecture. Nonetheless, few synthetically investigate the chromatin higher-order landscapes in different T helper (Th) cells. Using RNA-Seq, ATAC-Seq and Hi-C assays, we characterize dynamic changes in chromatin organization at different levels during Naive CD4⁺ T cells differentiation into T helper 17 (Th17) and T helper 1 (Th1) cells. Upon differentiation, we observe decreased short-range and increased extra-long-range chromatin interactions. Although there is no apparent global switch in the A/B compartments, Th cells display the weaker compartmentalization. A portion of topologically associated domains are rearranged. Furthermore, we
