Muscle progenitor specification and myogenic differentiation are associated with changes in chromatin topology.

ABSTRACT: Using Hi-C, promoter-capture Hi-C (pCHi-C), and other genome-wide approaches in inducible Pax7-expressing skeletal muscle progenitors that inducibly express a master transcription factor, Pax7, we systematically characterized at high-resolution the spatio-temporal re-organization of compartments and promoter-anchored interactions as a consequence of myogenic commitment and differentiation. We identified key promoter-enhancer interaction motifs, namely, cliques and networks, and interactions that were dependent on Pax7 binding. Remarkably, we found that the majority of super-enhancers were bound by Pax7 and a cadre of associated factors that maintained an epigenetic memory of active enhancers in the absence of Pax7. Lastly, we identified a previously uncharacterized Pax7-bound enhancer hub that simultaneously regulates the essential myosin heavy chain cluster during skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Our studies lay the groundwork for understanding the three-dimensional conformation of chromatin in muscle stem cells.

Muscle progenitor specification and myogenic differentiation are associated with changes in chromatin topology

Project description:Using Hi-C, promoter-capture Hi-C (pCHi-C), and other genome-wide approaches in skeletal muscle progenitors that inducibly express a master transcription factor, Pax7, we systematically characterized at high-resolution the spatio-temporal re-organization of compartments and promoter-anchored interactions as a consequence of myogenic commitment and differentiation. To further investigate transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governed by Pax7, we used immuno-affinity purification and mass spectrometric sequencing to identify the compendium of Pax7-associated proteins in muscle progenitors. Although Pax7-associated proteins have been identified in myoblasts, it is likely that such an approach would fail to uncover progenitor specific interactions with this protein. We therefore isolated chromatin from iPax7 cells engineered with a single, inducible copy of the Flag-tagged Pax7 transgene integrated next to the Hprt locus, which is expected to maintain expression levels comparable to those of satellite cells in the presence of Dox. Through purification of Flag-Pax7, we identified a cohort of factors and complexes involved in gene activation or repression and remodeling of chromatin and genome architecture that were substantially enriched compared to the uninduced control. We also identified a large cohort of sequence-specific TFs, including several that were shown to play an essential role in muscle stem cells (e.g., Foxk1, Six1, Runx1, Tead1, Nfix) and that are recruited to Pax7-bound enhancers in muscle cells. Importantly, we also confirmed multiple interactions from our proteomic screen through immunoprecipitation and western blotting.

Pax7 remodels the chromatin landscape in skeletal muscle stem cells

Project description:The mechanisms by which Pax7 promotes skeletal muscle stem (satellite) cell identity are not yet understood. We have taken advantage of pluripotent stem cells wherein the induced expression of Pax7 robustly initiates the muscle program and enables the generation of muscle precursors that repopulate the satellite cell compartment upon transplantation. Pax7 binding was excluded from H3K27 tri-methylated regions, suggesting that recruitment of this factor is circumscribed by chromatin state. Further, Pax7 binding provoked localized chromatin remodeling, including the acquisition of enhancer-associated histone marks and induction of chromatin accessibility. Conversely, removal of Pax7 led to rapid reversal of these features on a subset of enhancers. Another cohort of Pax7 binding sites exhibited a durably accessible and remodeled chromatin state after Pax7 removal, and persistent enhancer accessibility was associated with subsequent binding by muscle regulatory factors. Our studies provide new insights into Pax7 and the epigenetic landscape of skeletal muscle stem cells.

Cellular reprogramming is driven by widespread rewiring of promote-enhancer interactions

Project description:Interactions between promoters and cis-regulatory elements, such as enhancers, play a role in gene regulation. However, the role of three-dimensional (3D) chromatin structure in orchestrating changes in transcription during cell fate transition is not fully understood. Here, we performed integrated analyses of chromosomal architecture, epigenetics and gene expression using Hi-C, promoter Capture Hi-C (PCHi-C), ChIP sequencing, and RNA sequencing during trans-differentiation of preB cells into macrophages with a β-estradiol inducible CEBPα-ER transgene. Within 1 hour of β-estradiol induction, CEBPα translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and binds to thousands of promoters and putative regulatory elements, resulting in downregulation of preB cell specific genes and induction of macrophage specific genes. Hi-C results were remarkably consistent throughout transinduction, revealing only a small number of TAD boundary location changes, and A/B compartment switches despite changes in expression of thousands of genes. PCHi-C reveals changes in promoter-anchored loops with decrease in interactions parallel with their decreased expression, and new promoter-anchored interactions with macrophage specific genes concordant with their increased expression.Overall, our data demonstrate that CEBPα-induced transinduction involves few changes in genome architecture that are detectable by Hi-C, and widespread reorganization of thousands of promoter anchored loops with PCHi-C that drive changes in cell identity.

Expression profiling of type II skeletal muscle fibers from wild-type mice, myofiber-specific and satellite cell-specific Rrm2b knockout models

Project description:RNA-seq was performed to investigate the role of Rrm2b in skeletal muscle. Type II skeletal muscle fibers were collected from wild-type (C57BL/6) mice and two Rrm2b knockout models, the skeletal muscle-specific knockout (Rrm2b F/F;HSA-Cre, smKO) and satellite cell-specific knockout (Rrm2b F/F;Pax7-CreERT2, scKO).

Identification of Pax7 target genes in muscle stem cells

Project description:Adult muscle stem cells, also known as muscle satellite cells, which are the resident tissue stem cells of skeletal muscle, provide myonuclei for postnatal muscle growth and for maintenance and regeneration in adults. Satellite cells specifically express the transcription factor pax7. The purpose of this study was to identify pax7 target genes and clarify the role of pax7 in muscle stem cell maintenance. We succeeded in generating Pax7-YFP knockin mice (Pax7-YFP KI) that can visualize endogenous pax7 expressed in satellite cells with YFP fluorescent protein. Novel pax7 target genes were identified by ChIP-sequencing (chromatin immunoprecipitation) analysis with muscle stem cells of Pax7-YFP KI mice.

Dynamic-network-guided CRISPRi screen identifies CTCF loop-constrained 1 nonlinear enhancer-gene regulatory activity in cell state transitions

Project description:Enhancers play key roles in gene regulation. However, comprehensive enhancer discovery is challenging because most enhancers, especially those affected in complex diseases, have weak effects on gene expression. Through gene regulatory network modeling, we identified that dynamic cell state transitions, a critical missing component in prevalent enhancer discovery strategies, can be utilized to improve the cells’ sensitivity to enhancer perturbation. Guided by the modeling results, we performed a mid-transition CRISPRi-based enhancer screen utilizing human embryonic stem cell definitive endoderm differentiation as a dynamic transition system. The screen discovered a comprehensive set of enhancers (4 to 9 per locus) for each of the core lineage-specifying transcription factors (TFs), including many enhancers with weak to moderate effects. Integrating the screening results with enhancer activity measurements (ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and three-dimensional enhancer-promoter interaction information (CTCF looping, Hi-C), we were able to develop a CTCF loop-constrained Interaction Activity (CIA) model that can better predict functional enhancers compared to models that rely on Hi-C-based enhancer-promoter contact frequency. Together, our dynamic network-guided enhancer screen and the CIA enhancer prediction model provide generalizable strategies for sensitive and more comprehensive enhancer discovery in both normal and pathological cell state transitions.

Bulk RNA-sequencing of unsorted and PAX7::GFP-sorted ESC-derived myogenic progenitors

Project description:Tissue engineering strategies that combine human pluripotent stem cell-derived myogenic progenitors (hPDMs) with advanced biomaterials provide promising tools for engineering 3D skeletal muscle grafts to model tissue development in vitro and promote muscle regeneration in vivo. We recently demonstrated (i) the potential for obtaining large numbers of hPDMs using a combination of two small molecules and (ii) the application of electrospun fibrin microfiber bundles for functional skeletal muscle restoration following volumetric muscle loss. In this study, we demonstrate that the biophysical cues provided by the microfiber bundles can induce unsorted hPDMs to form multinucleated myotubes that express desmin and myosin heavy chain. To reduce the batch-to-batch variability of these samples, we tested a genetic PAX7 reporter line (PAX7::GFP) to sort for more homogenous populations of hPDMs. RNA sequencing and gene set enrichment analyses confirmed that PAX7::GFP-sorted hPDMs exhibited higher expression of myogenic genes while unsorted hPDMs demonstrated increased expression of genes associated with embryonic, neural crest, and fibroadipogenic progenitor lineages. We tested engineered skeletal muscle grafts derived from either PAX7::GFP-sorted or unsorted hPDMs within in vivo skeletal muscle defects. The unsorted hPDM-derived grafts also exhibited greater fibrosis and more proinflammatory responses. In contrast, the PAX7::GFP-sorted groups had moderately high vascular infiltration, more implanted cell association with embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMHC) regions, and greater CD206:CD86 ratios compared to unsorted hPDMs and acellular fibers suggesting they induced more pro-regenerative microenvironments. These findings demonstrated some promise for the use of PAX7::GFP-sorted hPDMS on fibrin microfiber bundles and provided some insights for improving the cell-biomaterial system to stimulate more robust in vivo skeletal muscle regeneration.

Direct reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into functional skeletal muscle progenitors

Project description:Skeletal muscle harbors quiescent stem cells termed satellite cells and proliferative progenitors termed myoblasts, which play pivotal roles during muscle regeneration. However, current technology does not allow permanent capture of these cell populations in vitro. Here, we show that ectopic expression of the myogenic transcription factor MyoD, combined with exposure to small molecules, reprograms mouse fibroblasts into expandable induced myogenic progenitor cells (iMPCs). iMPCs express key skeletal muscle stem and progenitor cell markers including Pax7 and Myf5 and give rise to Dystrophin-expressing myofibers upon transplantation, a subset of which maintain Pax7 expression in vivo and sustain serial regenerative responses. Similar to satellite cells, iMPCs originate from Pax7+ cells and require Pax7 itself for maintenance. Finally, we show that iMPCs can be established from muscle tissue following small molecule exposure alone. This study thus reports on a robust approach to derive expandable myogenic stem/progenitor-like cells from multiple differentiated cell types.
