ChrRNA-seq, ATAC-seq and Chrm6A-seq of ESCs and differentiated cardiomyocytes with or without METTL3


ABSTRACT: Transcriptional programming plays a key role in determining the cell state. Timely reconfiguration of chromatin structure and attenuation of pluripotent genes are required for efficient embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. Here, we identify METTL3, a core N6-methyladenosine (m6A) catalyzing enzyme, as a crucial modulator of dynamic transcription and chromatin accessibility upon ESC-derived cardiac differentiation. Genome-wide analysis of chromatin-associated RNAs revealed that depletion of METTL3 failed to dramatically attenuate the transcription of pluripotent genes, as well as activate nascent cardiomyocyte-specific transcripts upon differentiation. Consistently, ATAC-seq analysis showed that loss of METTL3 markedly attenuated the dynamic alteration of chromatin accessibility at both promoters and gene bodies, resulting in reduced sensitivity of ESC chromatin structure to cardiac differentiation signal. Furthermore, using chromatin-associated m6A sequencing, we found that nuclear m6A underwent a dramatic increase upon differentiation, which correlates with the decrease of chromatin accessibility. Collectively, our findings reveal that METTL3 and nuclear m6A epitranscriptome couples with chromatin state to ensure transcriptional regulation of cell fate transition.
