ZEB2 locus regulation in differentiating iPSCs

ABSTRACT: The multi-domain transcription factor ZEB2 controls embryonic and adult cell fate decisions and maturation in many stem/progenitor cell types. Defects in these processes in specific cell types underlie Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MOWS), which is caused by ZEB2 haplo-insufficiency. Human ZEB2, like mouse Zeb2, is located on chromosome 2 downstream of an approximately 3.5 Mb-long gene-desert, lacking any protein-coding gene sequence. Using temporal high-resolution Targeted Chromatin Capture (T2C), we show major chromatin structural changes based on mapping in-cis proximities between the ZEB2 gene promoter and this gene desert during neural differentiation of induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs), including at early neuroprogenitor cell (NPC)/rosette state, where ZEB2 mRNA levels increase significantly. Combining T2C with histone-3 acetylation mapping, we identified three novel candidate enhancers about 500 kb upstream of the ZEB2 transcription start site (TSS). Functional luciferase-based assays in heterologous cells and NPCs reveal co-operation between these three enhancers. This study is the first to document in-cis regulatory elements (REs) located in ZEB2’s gene desert. The results further show the usability of T2C for future studies of ZEB2 REs in differentiation and maturation of relevant cell types, and the molecular characterization of identified MOWS patients that lack mutations in ZEB2 protein-coding exons.

Zeb2 is Essential for Bergmann Glial Development and Cerebellar Organization

Project description:Cerebellar circuitry is critical for balance and motor control among a wide array of functions and largely consists of granule and Purkinje neurons. Bergmann glia in the cerebellum form distinct morphological structures that facilitate granule neuron migration during development and that maintain the cerebellar organization and functional integrity. At present, molecular control of the formation and morphogenesis of Bergmann glia remains obscure. In this study, we found that Zeb2 (a.k.a. Sip1 or Zfhx1b), a Mowat-Wilson syndrome-associated transcriptional regulator, is highly restricted to Bergmann glia and is essential for their development and maturation. The mice with Zeb2 ablation in the cerebellar neural progenitor exhibit dysgenesis of cerebellar cortical lamination and locomotion defects. Deletion of Zeb2 markedly reduced Bergmann glial proliferation, differentiation and the establishment of the normal radial scaffold, disrupting migration of granule cell progenitors from external to internal granular layers. Transcriptome profiling indicated that Zeb2 regulates multiple pathways including FGF and Notch signaling as well as axonal guidance cues including Netrin G2 and Gdf10 to control Bergmann glial development. Our data reveal that Zeb2 acts as a transcriptional integrator of diverse signaling pathways to regulate the formation and morphogenesis of Bergmann glia ensuring maintenance of cerebellar integrity, suggesting that Zeb2 dysfunction in Bergmann glia might contribute to motor deficits in Mowat-Wilson syndrome.

Allelic expression mapping across cell lineages reveal repressor disruption among disease SNPs

Project description:Most variants associated to diseases are located in non-coding regions of the genome, and are thought to be regulatory in nature. Cis-regulatory SNPs (cis-rSNPs) impacting transcription can be identified through the mapping of differences in allelic expression (AE). We mapped common cis-rSNPs of protein coding and non-coding genes in 3 distinct cell-types. We show 70% sharing across tissues and similar genetically controlled transcription for protein-coding genes and lincRNAs. Candidate cis-rSNPs altering the expression of 42 non-coding RNA overlap SNPs underlying GWAS associations for 39 diseases. We uncover a new class of cis-rSNPs leading to disruption of footprint-derived de novo motifs, predominantly bind by repressive factors and implicated in disease susceptibility through overlaps with GWAS SNPs. Finally, we provide proof-of-principle for a new approach for genome-wide functional validation of transcription factor M-bM-^@M-^S SNP interactions. We perturbed NFM-NM-:B action in lymphoblasts and identified 489 cis-regulated transcripts with altered AE after NFkB perturbation. Altogether, we performed a comprehensive analysis of cis-variation in four cell-populations, and provide new tools for the identification of functional variants associated to complex diseases.

Hi-C2 of mouse splenic macrophages and pDCs

Project description:The transcriptional repressor Zeb2 regulates development of many cell fates among somatic, neural and hematopoietic lineages, but the basis for its requirement in these diverse linages is unclear. Our recent study uncovered a mutually repressive regulatory circuit between Id2 and Zeb2, and predicted that Zeb2 should be positively regulated by members of the E protein family of transcription factors. Here, we identified a 400bp enhancer region located 165 kilobases (kb) upstream of the Zeb2 transcriptional start site (TSS) that binds the E proteins E2A and E2-2 at several E-box motifs and is active in hematopoietic lineages. Germline deletion of this 400bp region (Zeb2 –165–/– mice) specifically prevented Zeb2 expression in hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) derived lineages. Zeb2 –165–/– mice lacked development of pDCs, monocytes, and B cells. Surprisingly, all macrophages in Zeb2 –165–/– mice were exclusively of embryonic origin. Using single-cell chromatin profiling, we identified a second Zeb2 enhancer located at +164kb that is selectively active in embryonically derived lineages, but not in lineages derived from HSCs. Thus, Zeb2 expression in adult, but not embryonic, hematopoiesis is selectively controlled by the –165kb Zeb2 enhancer.

A Switch Between Topological Domains Underlies HoxD Genes Collinearity in Mouse Limbs (4C-Seq)

Project description:During limb development, Hoxd genes are transcribed in two waves: Early on, when the arm and forearm are specified and subsequently, when digits form. While the latter phase is controlled by enhancers centromeric to the HoxD cluster, we show here that the early phase requires enhancers located in the opposite telomeric gene desert. The transition between the two types of regulations involves a functional switch between two distinct topological domains, as reflected by a subset of genes mapping centrally into the cluster, which initially interact with the telomeric domain and subsequently shift to establish new contacts on the opposite side. This transition between two regulatory landscapes generates an intermediate area of low Hox dose developing into the wrist, the transition between our arms and our hands. This intriguing correspondence between genomic and morphological boundaries illustrates the mechanism underlying collinear Hox gene regulation in our developing appendages.

Zeb2 drives the formation of CD11c+ atypical B cells to sustain germinal centers that control persistent infection [CITE-seq and scRNA-seq]

Project description:CD11c+ atypical B cells (ABCs) are an alternative memory B cell lineage associated with immunization, infection, and autoimmunity. However, the factors that drive the transcriptional program of ABCs have not been identified, and the function of this population remains incompletely understood. Here we identified candidate transcription factors associated with the ABC population based on a human tonsillar B cell single cell dataset. We identified CD11c+ B cells in mice with a similar transcriptomic signature to human ABCs, and using an optimized CRISPR-Cas9 knockdown screen, we observed that loss of zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2 (Zeb2) impaired ABC formation. Furthermore, ZEB2 haplo-insufficient Mowat Wilson syndrome (MWS) patients have decreased circulating ABCs in the blood. In Cd23Cre/+Zeb2fl/fl mice with impaired ABC formation, ABCs were dispensable for efficient humoral responses after Plasmodium sporozoite immunization but were required to control recrudescent blood-stage malaria. Immune phenotyping revealed that ABCs drive optimal T follicular helper (Tfh) cell formation and germinal center (GC) responses and they reside at the red/white pulp border likely permitting better access to pathogen antigens for presentation. Collectively, our study shows that ABC formation is dependent upon Zeb2, and these cells can limit recrudescent infection by sustaining GC reactions.
