Epigenomic Profiling and Single_Nucleus_RNA_Seq of Adult Human Retina, Macula, and RPE/Choroid

ABSTRACT: Cis_regulatory elements (CREs) orchestrate the dynamic and diverse transcriptional programs that assemble the human central nervous system (CNS) during development and maintain its function throughout life. Genetic variation within CREs plays a central role in phenotypic variation in complex traits including the risk of developing disease. However, the cellular complexity of the human brain has largely precluded the identification of functional regulatory variation within the human CNS. We took advantage of the retina, a well_characterized region of the CNS with reduced cellular heterogeneity, to establish a roadmap for characterizing regulatory variation in the human CNS. This comprehensive resource of tissue_specific regulatory elements, transcription factor binding, and gene expression programs in three regions of the human visual system (retina, macula, retinal pigment epithelium/choroid) reveals features of regulatory element evolution that shape tissue_specific gene expression programs and defines the regulatory elements with the potential to contribute to mendelian and complex disorders of human vision.

Transcriptome analysis of human maturing macula

Project description:The macula is an essential region of the retina responsible for visual acuity. Abnormalities in development of the fovea at the center of the macula lead to severe diseases. To identify macula-specific differentially expressed genes in maturing stage of macular development, we compared the gene expression profiles of the macular and peripheral region of the pediatric retina.

Multi-omic Analysis of Developing Human Retina and Organoids Reveals Cell-Specific Cis-Regulatory Elements and Mechanisms of Non-Coding Genetic Disease Risk.

Project description:Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) play a critical role in the development, maintenance, and disease-states of all human cell types. In the human retina, CREs have been implicated in a variety of inherited retinal disorders. To characterize cell-class-specific CREs in the human retina and elucidate their potential functions in development and disease, we performed single-nucleus (sn)ATAC-seq and snRNA-seq on the developing and adult human retina and on human retinal organoids. These analyses allowed us to identify cell-class-specific CREs, enriched transcription factor binding motifs, putative target genes, and to examine how these features change over development. By comparing DNA accessibility between the human retina and retinal organoids we found that CREs in organoids are highly correlated at the single-cell level, validating the use of organoids as a model for studying disease-associated CREs. As a proof of concept, we studied the function of a disease-associated CRE at 5q14.3 in organoids, identifying its principal target gene as the miR-9-2 primary transcript and demonstrating a dual role for this CRE in regulating neurogenesis and gene regulatory programs in mature glia. This study provides a rich resource for characterizing cell-class-specific CREs in the human retina and showcases retinal organoids as a model in which to study the function of retinal CREs that influence retinal development and disease.

Comparative transcriptomic profiling at E3-E3.5, E5-E5.5 and E8-E8.5 stages of retina development in pigeon and chicken

Project description:The macula and fovea located at the optical centre of the retina make primate visual perception unique among mammals. Pigeon retina and the human macula share a number of structural and functional properties that justify introducing the former as a new model system for retina development. Comparative transcriptome analysis of the pigeon and chicken retinas at different embryonic stages was undertaken to uncover how transcriptomic patterns translate into functional differences between the two bird species. The study showed that the pigeon’s genetic programs underlying cell differentiation are postponed until the end of the period of cell proliferation. This allows the pigeon to build a retina that displays the structural and functional traits typical of primate macula and fovea.

Genome-wide analysis of macula densa cell gene expression in control and physiological stimulatory conditions

Project description:Analysis of the function and physiological regulation of the rare kidney cell type of the macula densa at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the study was that macula densa cells utilize unique and cell-specific molecular networks that play important roles in sensory, regulatory, and secretory functions, and in the physiological stimulation of these cells by environmental clues such as low salt condition. Results provide important information of the identity, biological and physiological functions of macula densa cells consistent with their chief role in the regulation of kidney functions.

Epigenomic annotation of gene regulatory alterations during evolution of the primate brain

Project description:While genome sequencing has identified numerous non-coding alterations between primate species, which of these are regulatory and potentially relevant to the evolution of the human brain is unclear. Here, we annotate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in the human, rhesus macaque and chimpanzee genome using ChIP-sequencing in different anatomical parts of the adult brain. We find high similarity in the genomic positioning of CREs between rhesus macaque and humans, suggesting that the majority of these elements were already present in a common ancestor 25 million years ago. Most of the observed regulatory changes between humans and rhesus macaque occurred prior to the ancestral separation of humans and chimpanzee, leaving a modest set of regulatory elements with predicted human-specificity. Our data refine previous predictions and hypotheses on the consequences of genomic changes between primate species, and allow the identification of regulatory alterations relevant to the evolution of the brain. ChIP-Sequencing for H3K27ac on 8 distinct brain regions from human (three biological replicates per brain region), chimpanzee (two biological replicates per brain region) and rhesus macaque (three biological replicates per brain region).

Comparative 3D genome analysis between neural retina and RPE reveals differential cis-regulatory interactions at retinal disease loci [UMI4C]

Project description:Vision depends on the functional interplay between the photoreceptor cells of the neural retina and the supporting cells of the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Many genes involved in inherited retinal diseases (IRD) display highly specific spatiotemporal expression within these interconnected retinal components through the local recruitment of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in 3D nuclear space. To understand the role of differential chromatin architecture in establishing tissue-specific expression patterns at IRD loci in the human neural retina and the RPE, we mapped genome-wide chromatin interactions by applying in situ Hi-C and H3K4me3 HiChIP to human adult post-mortem donor retinas. A comparative 3D genome analysis between neural retina and RPE revealed that almost 60% of known IRD genes were marked by differential cis-regulatory interactions or 3D genome structure. Furthermore, we zoomed in on tissue-specific chromatin interactions at the ABCA4 locus, which is implicated in the most common autosomal recessive IRD. We constructed high-resolution ABCA4 interaction profiles using UMI-4C, which, upon integration with bulk and single-cell epigenomic datasets and in vivo enhancer assays in zebrafish, revealed tissue-specific CREs for ABCA4. In summary, through extensive comparative 3D genome mapping, based on genome-wide (Hi-C), promoter-centric (HiChIP) and locus-specific (UMI-4C) assays of human neural retina and RPE, we have shown that gene regulation at key IRD loci is likely mediated by tissue-specific chromatin interactions. These findings do not only provide insight into tissue-specific regulatory landscapes at retinal disease loci, but also delineate the search space for genomic variation underlying unsolved IRD.
