Single cell epigenomics reveals mechanisms of human cortical development

ABSTRACT: During mammalian development, chromatin state differences coincide with cellular differentiation and reflect changes in the gene regulatory landscape. In the developing brain, cell fate specification and topographic identity play important roles in defining cell identity and confer selective vulnerabilities to neurodevelopmental disorders. To identify cell type specific chromatin accessibility patterns in the developing human brain, we used a single cell assay for transposase accessibility by sequencing (scATAC-seq) in primary human forebrain tissue samples. We applied unbiased analyses to identify genomic loci that undergo extensive cell type- and brain region-specific changes in accessibility during neurogenesis and an integrative analysis to predict cell type specific candidate regulatory elements. We found that cerebral organoids recapitulate most putative cell type-specific enhancer accessibility patterns but lack many cell type specific open chromatin regions found in vivo. Systematic comparison of chromatin accessibility across brain regions revealed an unexpected diversity among neural progenitor cells in the cerebral cortex and implicate retinoic acid signaling in the specification of prefrontal cortex neuronal lineage identity. Together, our results reveal the important contribution of chromatin state to the emerging patterns of cell type diversity and cell fate specification and provide a blueprint for evaluating the fidelity and robustness of cerebral organoids as a model for cortical development.

Histone-fold domain protein NF-Y promotes chromatin accessibility for cell type-specific master transcription factors [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cell type-specific master transcription factors (MTFs) play vital roles in defining cell identity and function. However, the roles ubiquitous factors play in the specification of cell identity remain underappreciated. Here we show that all three subunits of the ubiquitous heterotrimeric CCAAT-binding NF-Y complex are required for the maintenance of embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity, and establish NF-Y as a novel component of the core pluripotency network. Genome-wide occupancy and transcriptomic analyses in ESCs and neurons reveal that not only does NF-Y regulate genes with housekeeping functions through cell type-invariant promoter-proximal binding, but also genes required for cell identity by binding to cell type-specific enhancers with MTFs. Mechanistically, NF-Y's distinctive DNA-binding mode promotes MTF binding at enhancers by facilitating a permissive chromatin conformation. Our studies unearth a novel function for NF-Y in promoting chromatin accessibility, and suggest that other proteins with analogous structural and DNA-binding properties may function in similar ways. Genome-wide mapping of NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC subunits of the NF-Y complex in mouse ESCs, and microarray gene expression profiling of control knockdown (KD), NF-YA KD, NF-YB KD, NF-YC KD, and NF-YA/NF-YB/NF-YC triple KD ESCs.

A cis-regulatory atlas of maize single cells

Project description:Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) encode the genomic blueprints for coordinating the spatiotemporal regulation of gene transcription programs necessary for highly specialized cellular functions. To identify cis-regulatory elements underlying cell-type specification and developmental transitions, we implemented single-cell sequencing of Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (scATAC-seq) in an atlas of Zea mays tissues and organs. We describe 92 distinct patterns of chromatin accessibility across more than 165,913 putative CREs, greater than 56,575 cells, and 52 known cell-types using a novel regularized quasibinomial logistic model for estimating single cell accessibility. Cell-type specification could be largely explained by combinatorial accessibility of transcription factors (TFs) and their associated binding. Analysis of cell type-specific co-accessible chromatin recapitulated higher-order chromatin interactions, providing novel insight into cell type-specific regulatory dynamics. Integration of genetic diversity data revealed cell-type specific CREs contributed to specific morphological and molecular phenotypic traits indicative of their cellular functions, expanding our understanding of the molecular influence of complex traits in a eukaryotic species.

Single Cell Multi-Omics Profiling Using ISSAAC-seq

Project description:Joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell provides critical information about cell types in a tissue and cell states during a dynamic process. These emerging multi-omics techniques help the investigation of cell-type resolved gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we developed in situ SHERRY after ATAC-seq (ISSAAC-seq), a highly sensitive and flexible single cell multi-omics method to interrogate chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell. We demonstrated that ISSAAC-seq is sensitive and provides high quality data with orders of magnitude more features than existing methods. Using the joint profiles from thousands of nuclei from the mouse cerebral cortex, we uncovered major and rare cell types together with their cell-type specific regulatory elements and expression profiles. Finally, we revealed distinct dynamics and relationships of transcription and chromatin accessibility during an oligodendrocyte maturation trajectory.

Multimodal profiling of the transcriptional regulatory landscape of the developing mouse cortex identifies Neurog2 as a key epigenome remodeler

Project description:How multiple epigenetic layers and transcription factors (TFs) interact to facilitate brain development is largely unknown. Here, we combined single-cell RNA-seq and single-cell ATAC-seq with cell-type-specific measurements of enhancer activity, DNA methylation and three-dimensional genome architecture to systematically map the regulatory landscape of neural differentiation in the mouse neocortex in vivo. This allowed us to identify thousands of new enhancers, their predicted target genes and the temporal relationships between enhancer activation, epigenome remodeling and gene expression. We characterize specific neuronal transcription factors associated with extensive and frequently coordinated changes across multiple epigenetic modalities. In addition, we functionally demonstrate a new role for Neurog2 in directly mediating enhancer activity, DNA demethylation, increasing chromatin accessibility and facilitating chromatin looping in vivo. Our work provides a global view of the gene regulatory logic of lineage specification in the cerebral cortex.

Thyroid Hormone Dependent Transcriptional Programming by TRb Requires SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodelers

Project description:Transcriptional regulation in response to thyroid hormone (3,5,3´-triiodo-L-thyronine, T3) is a dynamic and cell-type specific process that maintains cellular homeostasis and identity in all tissues. However, our understanding of the mechanisms of thyroid hormone receptor (TR) actions at the molecular level are actively being refined. We used an integrated genomics approach to profile and characterize the cistrome of TRb, map changes in chromatin accessibility, and capture the transcriptomic changes in response to T3 in normal human thyroid cells. There are significant shifts in TRb genomic occupancy in response to T3, which are associated with differential chromatin accessibility, and differential recruitment of SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers. We further demonstrate selective recruitment of BAF and PBAF SWI/SNF complexes to TRb binding sites, revealing novel differential functions in regulating chromatin accessibility and gene expression. Our findings highlight three distinct modes of TRb interaction with chromatin and coordination of coregulator activity.
