Endodermal maternal transcription factors establish super enhancers during zygotic genome activation

ABSTRACT: We examined the combinatorial function of the Xenopus tropicalis maternal transcription factors Foxh1, Vegt and Otx1. The study involved combinatorial ectopic expression of vegt and otx1 RNA in the putative ectoderm; and combinatorial knock-down of vegt and otx1 in the putative endoderm both followed by transcriptomic analysis (RNA-seq). We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation combined with high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to assess the chromatin association of Vegt and Otx1 prior to zygotic gene activation. In addition, we performed ChIP-seq on H3K4me1 on endoderm tissue to identify active regulatory regions in an unbiased manner.

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.

Endodermal Maternal Transcription Factors Establish Super-Enhancers during Zygotic Genome Activation.

Project description:Elucidation of the sequence of events underlying the dynamic interaction between transcription factors and chromatin states is essential. Maternal transcription factors function at the top of the regulatory hierarchy to specify the primary germ layers at the onset of zygotic genome activation (ZGA). We focus on the formation of endoderm progenitor cells and examine the interactions between maternal transcription factors and chromatin state changes underlying the cell specification process. Endoderm-specific factors Otx1 and Vegt together with Foxh1 orchestrate endoderm formation by coordinated binding to select regulatory regions. These interactions occur before the deposition of enhancer histone marks around the regulatory regions, and these TFs recruit RNA polymerase II, regulate enhancer activity, and establish super-enhancers associated with important endodermal genes. Therefore, maternal transcription factors Otx1, Vegt, and Foxh1 combinatorially regulate the activity of super-enhancers, which in turn activate key lineage-specifying genes during ZGA.

Chromatin and Transcriptional Signatures for Nodal Signaling During Endoderm Formation in hESCs

Project description:To elucidate the Nodal transcriptional network that governs endoderm formation, we used ChIP-Seq to identify genomic targets for SMAD2/3, SMAD3, SMAD4, FOXH1 and the active and repressive chromatin marks, H3K4me3 and H3K27me3, in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and derived endoderm. We demonstrate that while SMAD2/3, SMAD4 and FOXH1 target binding is highly dynamic, there is an optimal signature for driving endoderm commitment. Initially, this signature is marked by both H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 as a very broad bivalent domain in hESCs. Within the first 24 hours, at a few select promoters, SMAD2/3 accumulation coincides with H3K27me3 depletion so that these loci become selectively monovalent marked only by H3K4me3. The correlation between SMAD2/3 binding, monovalent formation and transcriptional activation suggests a mechanism by which SMAD proteins coordinate with chromatin at critical promoters to drive endoderm specification. Examination of 2 different histone modifications and 4 different transcription factor associations in 2 cell types. For transcription factor analysis, three biological replicate ChIPs were pooled from each antibody, as well as input controls, for both hESCs and derived endoderm. For histone modifications, two biological replicates for H3K4me3 and three for H3K27me3 were used.

Foxh1 marks the embryonic genome prior to the activation of the mesendoderm gene regulatory program

Project description:We examined the binding dynamics of the maternal TF Foxh1 over a time course of germ layer development. Foxh1 binding was compared to the onset of zygotic transcription (RNA pol II), binding of the co-repressor Tle, Nodal signaling (Smad2/3) and the zygotic endoderm TF Foxa.

E11.5 Mouse Endodermal Organ Gene Expression

Project description:To study gene expression during endodermal organogenesis, we sought to identify genes expressed in restricted domains during organogenesis. For gene expression analysis, six morphologically distinct endodermal domains were dissected at E11.5: the esophageal region; the lung and distal tracheal region; the stomach region; the hepatic region; the dorsal and ventral pancreatic region; and the intestinal region. Through flow cytometric separation using EpCAM expression to distinguish endoderm from surrounding mesenchyme, pure populations of endoderm progenitors from the esophageal, lung, stomach, pancreatic, and intestinal regions were isolated. Expression of Liv2 was used to isolate a pure population of hepatic endoderm progenitors. Keywords: cell type comparison Three biological replicates each containing dissected organ domains from 10-12 pooled embryos flow cytometrically sorted to isolate endoderm were amplified using Ambion Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification kit and arrayed on Illumina MouseRef8 v2 chips

Expression profile of Chicken Early Embryonic Endodermal Tissues

Project description:In vertebrates the endoderm which gives rise to the epithelial lining of the digestive tract becomes regionalized along its antero-posterior axis after gastrulation. The molecular basis of the initial step of this regionalization has largely remained unclear. Using chick model, we generated high-quality transcriptomic datasets of different stages/regions of the endoderm and analyzed their molecular heterogeneity. Total RNA from HH stage 4-5 entire definitive endoderm, HH stages 10-11 foregut endoderm and HH stages 8-10 mid/hindgut endoderm were purified. 5 M-NM-<g of RNA from each sample were used to screen Affymetrix Chicken Genome Array without an amplification step.
