Nucleome Dynamics during Retinal Development[Hi-C_Mm]

ABSTRACT: The nuclei of rod photoreceptors in mice and other nocturnal species have an unusual inverted chromatin structure with centrally located heterochromatin that helps to focus light and improve photosensitivity. To gain a deeper understanding of this unique nuclear organization of rod photoreceptors, we have carried out Hi-C on retina at 3 stages of development and on purified rod photoreceptors. Predicted looping interactions from the Hi-C data were validated with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). We discovered that a subset of genes important for retinal development, cancer and stress response in the retina are localized to the facultative heterochromatin domain in a developmental stage– and cell type–specific manner. We used machine learning to develop an algorithm based on our chromatin Hidden Markov Modeling (chromHMM) of retinal development to predict heterochromatin domains and study their dynamics during retinogenesis. FISH data for 264 genomic loci were used to train and validate the algorithm. These integrated data (https://pecan.stjude.cloud/retinalnucleome) were used to identify a developmental stage- and cell type-specific core regulatory circuit super-enhancer (CRC-SE) upstream of the Vsx2 gene that is required for bipolar neuron expression. Deletion of the Vsx2 CRC-SE in mice led to the loss of bipolar neurons in the retina.

Identification of a modular super-enhancer in murine retinal development

Project description:Single cell RNA-sequencing shows cell type specific expression of genes in the retina. Single cell ATAC-sequencing of the wild type retina at multiple stages revealed that chromatin in the Vsx2 CRC SE, a stage- and cell type-specific core regulatory circuit super-enhancer (CRC-SE) upstream of the Vsx2 gene, was only open in bipolar cells in Region3 in adult retina. Chromatin in Region0 was open in retinal progenitor cells in E14.5 retina.

Comparison of the retinal transcriptomes of four Bhlhe23-/- mice and 4 sex and litter-matched wild type mice

Project description:Bhlhe23 is a transcription factor that is required for the maturation and survival of retinal rod bipolar cells in mice. In the adult Bhlhe23-/- retina, rod bipolar cells are almost completely absent. We identified genes that were likely to be important to rod bipolar cell maintenance and function by identifying genes that were significantly down-regulated in the transcriptome of adult Bhlhe23-/- mouse retina compared with wild type retina.

RNA-seq of retina from 6 pairs of litter-matched Bhlhe23-/- and wild type mice at postnatal day 7

Project description:Bhlhe23 is a transcription factor that is required for the maturation and survival of retinal rod bipolar cells in mice. In the Bhlhe23-/- retina, rod bipolar cells are born in normal numbers, then die by apoptosis from postnatal day 8. We identified genes that were likely to be important to rod bipolar cell development and survival by identifying genes that were significantly differentially expressed in the transcriptome of the Bhlhe23-/- mouse retina compared with wild type retina at postnatal day 7. just before the onset of rob bipolar cell death.

Cis-regulatory basis of sister cell type divergence in the vertebrate retina

Project description:Multicellular organisms evolved via repeated functional divergence of transcriptionally related sister cell types, but the mechanisms underlying sister cell type divergence are not well understood. Here, we study a canonical pair of sister cell types, retinal photoreceptors and bipolar cells, to identify key cis-regulatory features that mediate the transcriptomic and functional differences between them. We generated open chromatin maps and transcriptome profiles of mouse ON and OFF bipolar cells isolated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and compared them to similar data from rod and cone photoreceptors. We found that photoreceptors and bipolar cells have divergent transcriptional profiles, and yet share remarkably similar cis-regulatory grammars. The predominant cis-regulatory motifs in the enhancers of both cell classes are K50 homeodomain binding sites, which are required for activity. These motifs are bound by two transcription factors (TFs), CRX and OTX2, which are expressed in both photoreceptors and bipolar cells. In contrast, cell type-specific open chromatin regions are distinguished by enrichment of E-box motifs in bipolar cells, and Q50 homeodomain motifs in photoreceptors. In bipolar cells, Q50 motifs are thought to mediate repression of photoreceptor-specific genes through the bipolar-specific TF VSX2. We show that converting selected K50 motifs to Q50 motifs represses reporter expression in bipolar cells, while photoreceptor expression is maintained. These findings suggest that partitioning of Q50 motifs within cell type-specific CREs was likely a critical step in the divergence of the bipolar transcriptome from that of photoreceptors, facilitating the emergence of the complex interneuronal circuitry of the vertebrate retina.

Transcriptomic profiling in juvenile P23H Retinitis Pigmentosa mouse retinas

Project description:Neuronal plasticity of the inner retina has been observed in response to photoreceptor degeneration. Typically, this phenomenon has been considered maladaptive and may preclude vision restoration in the blind. However, several recent studies utilizing triggered photoreceptor ablation have shown adaptive responses in bipolar cell dendrites expected to support normal vision. Whether such homeostatic plasticity occurs during progressive photoreceptor degenerative disease to help maintain normal visual behavior is unknown. We addressed these issues in an established mouse model of Retinitis Pigmentosa caused by the P23H mutation in rhodopsin. We show robust modulation of the retinal transcriptomic network reminiscent of the neurodevelopmental state as well as potentiation of rod – rod bipolar cell signaling following rod photoreceptor degeneration. Additionally, we found highly sensitive night vision in P23H mice even when more than half of the rod photoreceptors were lost. The results implicate retinal adaptation leading to persistent visual function during photoreceptor degenerative disease.

IGF-I-induced chronic gliosis and retinal stress lead to neurodegeneration in an animal model of retinopathy

Project description:IGF-I exert multiple effects in different retinal cell populations in both physiological and pathological conditions. Transgenic mice overexpressing IGF-I in the retina showed impaired electroretinographic responses at 6-7 months of age that worsen with age. This retinal neuronal dysfunction was correlated with the loss of rod photoreceptors, bipolar, ganglion and amacrines cells. Neuronal alterations were preceded by the overexpression of retinal stress markers, acute phase proteins and gliosis-related genes. IGF-I overexpression leads to chronic gliosis and microgliosis in TgIGF-I retinas, with mild oxidative stress, impaired recycling of glutamate and defective potassium buffering. These impaired supportive functions can contribute to neurodegeneration in TgIGF-I retinas, together with the increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, potential mediators of neuronal death.

SIRT6 regulates glucose metabolism and glutamatergic synapse in the mouse retina

Project description:Microarray analysis on total retinal RNA from 15 day old Sirt6 wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice. The retina is one of the major energy consuming tissues within the body. In this context, synaptic transmission between light-excited rod photoreceptors and downstream ON-bipolar neurons is a highly demanding energy consuming process. Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), a NAD-dependent deacylase, plays a key role in regulating glucose metabolism. In this study, we demonstrate that SIRT6 is highly expressed in the retina, controlling levels of histone H3K9 and H3K56 acetylation. Notably, despite apparent normal histology, SIRT6 deficiency caused major retinal transmission defects concomitant to changes in expression of glycolytic genes and glutamate receptors, as well as elevated levels of apoptosis in inner retina cells. Our results identify SIRT6 as a critical modulator of retinal function, likely through its effects on chromatin. Microarray analysis of total retinal RNA from 15 day old Sirt6 wild-type (WT) and knock-out (KO) mice with 3 replicates in each condition using the Affymetrix Mouse Gene 2.1 ST array (transcript (gene) version).
