Cell-Type-Specific Survey of Epigenetic Modification by Tandem Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing

ABSTRACT: [Background]: Nervous system of higher eukaryotes is composed of numerous types of neurons and glia, which together orchestrate complex neuronal responses. However, the complex pool of cells usually poses analytic challenges to investigate gene expression profile and its epigenetic basis in specific cell type. Here we developed a novel method that enables cell-type-specific analyses of epigenetic modification using tandem chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (tChIP-Seq). [Results]: FLAG-tagged histone H2B, a constitutive chromatin component, was firstly expressed in Camk2a-positive pyramidal cortical neurons and was used to purify the chromatin in a cell-type-specific manner. The subsequent chromatin immunoprecipitation using antibodies against H3K4me3—an active promoter mark—allowed us to survey neuron specific coding and noncoding transcripts. Indeed, tChIP-Seq identified hundreds of genes associated with neuronal functions as well as genes with unknown function expressed in cortical neurons. [Conclusions]: tChIP-Seq thus provides a versatile approach to investigate epigenetic modifications of particular cell types in vivo.

ChIP-seq investigating the influence of astrocytes on the epigenetic landscape of developing cortical neurons

Project description:Astrocytes are implicated in neuronal development, particularly excitatory synaptogenesis, but their genome-wide impact is unclear. Using cell-type specific ChIP-seq we show that cortical astrocytes induce widespread changes in developing cortical neurons in histone marks associated with active open chromatin and repressed/condensed chromatin. Rat cortical neurons were maintained in the presence or absence of mouse astrocytes, ChIP-seq performed, and mixed-species ChIP-seq reads sorted according to species.

RNA-seq investigating the influence of astrocytes on developing cortical neurons

Project description:Astrocytes are implicated in neuronal development, particularly excitatory synaptogenesis, but their genome-wide impact is unclear. Using cell-type specific RNA-seq we show that cortical astrocytes induce widespread transcriptomic changes in developing cortical neurons. Rat cortical neurons were maintained in the presence or absence of mouse astrocytes, RNA-seq performed, and mixed-species RNA-seq reads sorted according to species. Cultures were also treated with TTX to abolish neuronal firing activity, to investigate the effects of the presence or absence activity-dependent signalling.

Expression data from Drd1a and Drd2 expressing neurons in striatum and cortex, at 6 weeks and 2 years of age

Project description:We performed a study of gene expression changes that occur during mouse aging in the striatum and cortex in specific neuronal populations. Using translating ribosome afifnity purificaiton, we captured cell type-specific mRNAs from Drd1a-expressing cortical neurons, Drd1a-expressing striatal neurons, Drd2-expressing cortical neurons, and Drd2-expressing striatal neurons. 31 total samples were anlayzed. We generated the followinf pairwise comparisons: Old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd1a expressing cortical cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd2 expressing cortical cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd1a expressing striatal cells; old (2 years) vs young (6 weeks) Drd2 expressing striatal cells. We used a restriction of Benjamini-Hochberg FDR <0.05, and a fold-change restriction of 1.2-fold.

Identification of response genes upon neuronal activation in mouse cortical neurons

Project description:We search for developmental changes specific to humans by examining gene expression profiles in the human, chimpanzee and rhesus macaque prefrontal and cerebellar cortex. In both brain regions, developmental patterns were more evolved in humans than in chimpanzees. The major human specific genes in prefrontal cortex was enriched in neuronal functions and regulated by several transcription factors, which were previously implicated in regulation of neuronal functions. To confirm neuronal function of the human prefrontal cortex specific genes, we identifed response genes upon neuronal activation in mouse cortical neurons. Our results show that human specific genes are enriched in the response genes upon neuronal activation, implying the function of human prefrontal cortex specific genes in synaptic development. The cortical neurons from E15 mouse were isolated and cultured. We then exposed neurons to bicuculline (Bic), or potassium chloride (KCl), or without treatment. The cultured neurons under each group were hybridized to Agilent whole mouse genome oligo microarray (4x44k).

Genome-wide activity-dependent MeCP2 phosphorylation regulates nervous system development and function [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders such as Rett syndrome (RTT) have been hypothesized to arise from defects in experience-dependent synapse maturation. RTT is caused by mutations in MECP2, a nuclear protein that becomes phosphorylated at S421 in response to neuronal activation. We show here that disruption of MeCP2 S421 phosphorylation in vivo results in defects in synapse development and behavior, implicating activity-dependent regulation of MeCP2 in brain development and RTT. We investigated the mechanism by which S421 phosphorylation regulates MeCP2 function and show by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing that this modification occurs on MeCP2 bound across the genome. The phosphorylation of MeCP2 S421 appears not to regulate the expression of specific genes; rather, MeCP2 functions as a histone-like factor whose phosphorylation may facilitateM-CM-^BM-BM- a genome-wide response of chromatin to neuronal activity during nervous system development. We propose that RTT results in part from a loss of this experience-dependent chromatin remodeling. To examine MeCP2 binding across the neuronal genome and where on the genome MeCP2 is phosphorylated at Serine 421 in response to neuronal activity we performed anti-total MeCP2 and anti-phospho-Serine 421 specific Chromatin immunoprecipitation from cultured cortical neurons that were either left unstimulated or membrane depolarized for 2 hours by addition of 55mM KCl to the media. ChIP DNA was verified for successful IP by qPCR then cloned and sequenced using ABI SOLiD system 4. ChIP was performed from E16 +7DIV disociated cortical cultures from one or two independent dissections using an anti-c-terminal antiserum recognizing MeCP2 independent of its phosphorylation state or with an anti-pS421 antiserum that specifically immunoprecipitates MeCP2 phosphorylated at serine 421. Samples were qPCR validated and sequenced using ABI SOLiD system 4 library preparation and sequencing.

Loss of neuronal 3D chromatin organization causes transcriptional and behavioral deficits related to serotonergic dysfunction [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The interior of the neuronal cell nucleus is a highly organized 3-dimensional (3D) structure in which regions of the genome that are millions of bases apart participate in specialized sub-structures with dedicated functions. To investigate neuronal chromatin organization and dynamics in vivo, we generated bitransgenic mice that express histone GFP-tagged H2B in principal neurons of the forebrain. Surprisingly, the expression of this chimeric histone in mature neurons causes chromocenter declustering and disrupts the association of heterochromatin with the nuclear lamina. The loss of these structures does not affect neuronal viability but is associated with specific transcriptional and behavioral deficits related to serotonergic dysfunction. Overall, our results demonstrate that the 3D-organization of chromatin in the neuronal nucleus supports an additional level of epigenetic regulation of gene expression that critically influences neuronal function and indicate that some loci associated with neuropsychiatric disorders may be particularly sensitive to changes in chromatin architecture. Genome-wide profiling by high throughput sequencing of H3K27me3 in the adult hippocampus of CaMKII-tTA/tetO-H2BGFP (H2BGFP) and their wild-type littermates mice (WT). Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) was carried out using pooled hippocampal tissue from 3 mice (one hippocampus per mouse). One DNA library was constructed per genotype. Each DNA library was prepared from pooled immunoprecipitated DNA from 4 independent ChIP assays. In total, tissue from 12 different mice was used to prepare each DNA library. 60% of a lane was used to perform single end (1x50bp) multiplex sequencing in HiSeq 2500 apparatus (Illumina). Each library, was sequenced in duplicate (in two independent sequencing runs. Technical replicates).

Activation of HERV-K(HML-2) limits cortical neuronal differentiation by modulating Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase 3 expression

Project description:The biological function and disease association of human endogenous retroviral (HERV) elements remains largely elusive. We addressed the physiological role of HERV-K(HML-2) in neuronal differentiation by manipulating HERV-K(HML-2) expression levels. We used CRISPR engineering to activate or repress HERV-K(HML-2) and demonstrate that elevated HERV-K(HML-2) transcription is detrimental for development, functionality and growth of cortical neurons. Effects are cell-type specific, as dopaminergic neurons were unaffected. We further show that layer formation is altered during forebrain organoid formation following activation of HERV-K(HML-2) transcription. HERV-K(HML-2) transcriptional activation concurrently elevated Neurotrophic Tyrosine Receptor Kinase 3 (NTRK3) expression along with other neurodegeneration-related genes. Direct transcriptional activation of NTRK3 resembled the HERV-K(HML-2) activation phenotype. Intriguingly, reduction of NTRK3 levels in HERV-K(HML-2)-activated cortical neurons restored differentiated cortical neurons. Hence, our findings unravel a unique cell type-specific mechanism of HERV-K(HML-2) during cortical neuronal differentiation.

Transcription profiling of mouse wild type vs Dnmt1 hypomethylated forebrain

Project description:DNA methylation is a major epigenetic factor regulating genome reprogramming, cell differentiation, developmental gene expression. To understand the role DNA methylation in CNS neurons, we generated conditional Dnmt1 mutant mice that possess ~90% hypomethylated cortical and hippocampal cells in the dorsal forebrain from E13.5 on. The mutant mice were viable with a normal lifespan, but displayed severe neuronal cell death between E14.5 to 3-weeks postnatally. Accompanied with the striking cortical and hippocampal degeneration, adult mutant mice exhibited neurobehavioral defects in learning and memory in adulthood. Unexpectedly, a fraction of Dnmt1-/- cortical neurons survived through postnatal development, so that the residual cortex in mutant mice contained 20-30% of hypomethylated neurons throughout the life. Hypomethylated excitatory neurons exhibited multiple defects in postnatal maturation including abnormal dendritic arborization and impaired neuronal excitability. The mutant phenotypes are coupled with deregulation of those genes involved in neuronal layer-specification, cell death, and the function of ion channels. Our results suggest that DNA methylation, through its role in modulating neuronal gene expression, plays multiple roles in regulating cell survival, neuronal migration and maturation in the CNS. Experiment Overall Design: We compared gene expression patterns in Wildtype and DNA methylation deficient (Emx1-cre; Dnmt1 mutant) mouse dorsal cortex. We performed 3 replicates using different each individual mouse strain. The Sample GSM350992 table is the average log ratio for the 3 replicatesArrays were performed in triplicate.
