Genome-wide maps of chromatin state in pluripotent and lineage-committed cells.

ABSTRACT: We applied sequential ChIP-bisulfite-sequencing for H3K4me1 and H3K27ac in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs). By obtaining over ~4*10^9 bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA which was bisulfite treated, we identified enhancers that were differentially methylated between these two marks. We found a global gain of CpG methylation, primarily in H3K4me1-marked nucleosomes during mouse ESC differentiation. This gain occurred largely in enhancer regions that regulate genes critical for differentiation. We showed that higher levels of DNA methylation in H3K4me1 comparing to H3K27ac indicates cellular heterogeneity of enhancer states. We then used single-cell RNA-seq profiles to show that this heterogeneity correlates with gene expression during ESC differentiation. Furthermore, we showed that heterogeneity of enhancer methylation correlates with transcription start site methylation. Our results provide insights into enhancer-based functional variation in complex biological systems.

Loss of MLL3/4 decouples enhancer H3K4 monomethylation, H3K27 acetylation, and gene activation [ATAC-SEq]

Project description:Enhancers are essential in defining cell fates through the control of cell type specific gene expression. Enhancer activation is a multi-step process involving chromatin remodelers and histone modifiers. One of these steps is monomethylation of H3K4 (H3K4me1) by MLL3 (KMT2C) and MLL4 (KMT2D). MLL3/4 are thought to be critical for enhancer activation and cognate gene expression including through the recruitment of acetyltransferases for H3K27. Here we test this model by evaluating the impact of MLL3/4 loss on chromatin and transcription during early embryonic stem cell differentiation. We find that MLL3/4 activity is required at most if not all sites that gain or lose H3K4me1, but is largely dispensable at sites that remain stably methylated during this transition. This requirement extends to H3K27 acetylation (H3K27ac) at most transitional sites. Unexpectedly, many sites gain H3K27ac independent of MLL3/4 or H3K4me1 including enhancers regulating key factors in early differentiation. Furthermore, despite the failure to gain active histone marks at thousands of enhancers, transcriptional activation of nearby genes is largely unaffected, thus uncoupling the regulation of chromatin state from transcriptional changes during this transition. These data challenge current models of enhancer activation and imply distinct mechanisms between stable and dynamically changing enhancers. Moreover, the data suggest limited roles for many enhancers in transcriptional regulation in early ESC differentiation. Collectively, our study highlights gaps in knowledge about the steps and epistatic relationships of enzymes necessary for enhancer activation and cognate gene transcription.

Whole genome bisulfite sequencing of liver samples of five mammals (human, rhesus macaque, mouse, rat and dog)

Project description:This study aims to investigate the DNA methylation patterns at transcription factor binding regions and their evolutionary conservation with respect to binding activity divergence. We combined newly generated bisulfite-sequencing experiments in livers of five mammals (human, macaque, mouse, rat and dog) and matched publicly available ChIP-sequencing data for five transcription factors (CEBPA, HNF4a, CTCF, ONECUT1 and FOXA1). To study the chromatin contexts of TF binding subjected to distinct evolutionary pressures, we integrated publicly available active promoter, active enhancer and primed enhancer calls determined by profiling genome wide patterns of H3K27ac, H3K4me3 and H3K4me1.

ChIP-Seq of chromatin marks at distal enhancers in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells and adult tissues.

Project description:Enhancers are enriched by histone H3 lysine 4 mono methylation (H3K4me1). To gain insight into the relation between enhancers and developmental state, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed in several cell types to determine the genome-wide binding targets of H3K4me1 and several other possible enhancer associated modifications. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A chromatin IP against histone H3 or whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed mainly using antibodies against the chromatin marks H3K4me1 and H3K27ac.

Chromatin States in Human ES Cells Reveal Key Regulatory Sequences and Genes Involved in Pluripotency and Self-renewal

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are offering a new therapeutic approach because of their unique ability to proliferate indefinitely in vitro and differentiate into multiple cell types. However, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of pluripotency and self-renewal remain incomplete. To elucidate the key regulatory sequences and genes responsible for these cellular properties, we have determined potential enhancers and insulators in the genome of human ES cells and examined the dynamics of four key chromatin modifications (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K27me3) at both promoters and enhancers during the differentiation of these cells. We observe that most enhancers gain or lose H3K4me1 and H3K27ac during differentiation in a manner that correlates with expression of their potential target genes. By contrast, chromatin modifications at promoters remain stable and largely invariant during hESC differentiation, with the exception of a small number of promoters where a dynamic switch between acetylation and methylation at H3K27 marks the transition between activation and silencing of gene expression. Our results reveal more than 50,000 potential enhancers for early human development, and identify key genes that are involved in differentiation and maintenance of pluripotency in human ES cells.

Foxd3 binding at enhancers controls developmental timing of gene expression by regulation of histone acetylation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Transcription factor/enhancer interactions determine cell specific gene expression. Here, we followed enhancers during differentiations of embryonic stem (ESCs) to epiblast like cells (EpiLCs). There were highly dynamic changes in histone lysine 27 acetylation at enhancer sites throughout the genome. These sites were enriched for a Foxd3 binding motif, a forkhead transcription factor essential in early embryonic development. Surprisingly, Foxd3 occupied largely mutually exclusive sites in the ESCs versus EpiLCs. Foxd3 bound to nucleosome occupied regions, simultaneously evicting the histones while inhibiting full gene expression through the recruitment of histone deacetylases. Knockout of Foxd3 resulted in hyperacetylation and transcriptional upregulation of neighboring genes, many of which were further upregulated at later stages of differentiation. These data show that Foxd3 primes enhancer sites during pregastrulation by removing nucleosomes, yet suppresses neighboring histone hyperacetylation. Such a mechanism may be common to many transcription factors that prepare enhancers for later gene activation during development. ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300, H3K4me3, RNA Pol2 and Oct4 in four pluripotent states: embryonic stem cells (ESCs) day 1 ESC differentiation, Epi-like stem cells (EpiLCs), and epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs); ChIP-seq of 3XFlag tagged Foxd3 in ESCs and EpiLCs; ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K27ac, H3K27me3, p300 and H3K4me3 in Foxd3 conditional knockout cells (tamoxifen-inducible) -/+ 36h Tamoxifen treatemnt.

Enhancer-associated H3K4 mono-methylation by Drosophila Trithorax-related, the Drosophila homolog of Mll3/Mll4

Project description:Mono-methylation of histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4me1) and acetylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3K27ac) are histone modifications that are highly enriched over the body of actively transcribed genes and enhancers. Although in yeast all H3K4 methylation patterns including H3K4me1 are implemented by Set1/COMPASS, there are three classes of COMPASS-like complexes in Drosophila that could carry out H3K4me1 on enhancers: dSet1, Trithorax and Trithorax-related (Trr). Here, we report that Trr, the Drosophila homolog of mammalian Mll3/4, can function as a major H3K4 mono-methyltransferase on enhancers in vivo. Loss of Trr results in a global decrease of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac in various tissues. Assays with the cut wing margin enhancer imply a functional role for Trr in enhancer-mediated processes. A genome-wide analysis demonstrates that Trr is required for H3K4me1 and H3K27ac on chromatin signatures that resemble the histone modification patterns described for enhancers. Since Trr and mammalian Mll3/4 complexes are distinguished by bearing a unique subunit, the H3K27 demethylase UTX, we propose a model in which the H3K4 mono-methyltransferase Trr, and the H3K27 demethylase, UTX, cooperate to regulate the transition from inactive/poised to active enhancers. ChIP-seq of Trr, LPT, UTX in Drosophila S2 Cells. ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K27me3 in WT and Trr knock-down Drosophila S2 cells.

Optimization of MethylRAD sequencing to detect changes in DNA methylation at enhancer elements in differentiating embryonic stem cells

Project description:Differential DNA methylation is characteristic of gene regulatory regions, such as enhancers, which mostly constitute low or intermediate CpG content in their DNA sequence. Consequently, quantification of changes in DNA methylation at these sites is challenging. Given DNA methylation across most of the mammalian genome is maintained, use of genome-wide bisulfite sequencing to measure fractional changes in DNA methylation at specific sites is an overexertion which is both expensive and cumbersome. Here we developed a MethylRAD technique with an improved experimental plan and bioinformatic analysis tool to examine regional DNA methylation changes in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) during differentiation. The transcriptional silencing of pluripotency genes (PpGs) during ESC differentiation is accompanied by PpG enhancer (PpGe) silencing mediated by demethylation of H3K4me1 by LSD1. Our MethylRAD data show that in presence of LSD1 inhibitor, a significant fraction of LSD1-bound PpGe fails to gain DNA methylation. We further show that this effect is mostly observed at PpGe with low/intermediate CpG content. Underscoring the sensitivity and accuracy of MethylRAD sequencing, our study demonstrates that this method can detect small changes in DNA methylation at regulatory regions including with low/intermediate CpG content, thus asserting it use as a method of choice for diagnostic purpose.
