Single cell transcriptomes of neurally differentiated wildtype and ASCL1-KO human iPSCs, in the presence of NOTCH inhibitor DAPT [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The roles of neurogenic pioneer transcription factors and chromatin remodelers have been characterized in that process in developing animal models and cancers. However how these factors interact with each other to regulate cell state transitions in human neurogenesis remains unclear. Here we investigated the activity of the pioneer proneural factor ASCL1 in an in vitro model of human neurogenesis. We found that ASCL1 expression characterizes a transitional state from cycling neural progenitor to post-mitotic neuron, and ASCL1 knockout impedes progenitor neuronal differentiation. ASCL1 binds to genomic targets to regulate loci promoting differentiation by different mechanisms. Acting as a classical pioneer transcription factor, its binding to compacted chromatin is required to induce transcriptional activity. At other loci, it acts as a non-pioneer chromatin remodeler, accessing permissive chromatin to further increase chromatin accessibility. We show that ASCL1 interacts with ATPase-active BAF mSWI/SNF chromatin remodelers at cis-regulatory elements, altering the chromatin regulatory landscape at a subset of target genes. This cooperative function is predominant at sites of non-pioneer chromatin remodeler function where ASCL1 requires mSWI/SNF for DNA binding while ASCL1 classical pioneer activity does not involve significant mSWI/SNF binding. Our work establishes novel roles for ASCL1 and for an interaction with mSWI/SNF in regulating epigenetic states in human neurogenesis.

Pioneer factor ASCL1 cooperates with the mSWI/SNF complex at distal regulatory elements to regulate human neural differentiation

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Pioneer transcription factors are thought to play pivotal roles in developmental processes by binding nucleosomal DNA to activate gene expression, though mechanisms through which pioneer transcription factors remodel chromatin remain unclear. Here, using single-cell transcriptomics, we show that endogenous expression of neurogenic transcription factor ASCL1, considered a classical pioneer factor, defines a transient population of progenitors in human neural differentiation. Testing ASCL1’s pioneer function using a knockout model to define the unbound state, we found that endogenous expression of ASCL1 drives progenitor differentiation by cis-regulation both as a classical pioneer factor and as a nonpioneer remodeler, where ASCL1 binds permissive chromatin to induce chromatin conformation changes. ASCL1 interacts with BAF SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes, primarily at targets where it acts as a nonpioneer factor, and we provide evidence for codependent DNA binding and remodeling at a subset of ASCL1 and SWI/SNF cotargets. Our findings provide new insights into ASCL1 function regulating activation of long-range regulatory elements in human neurogenesis and uncover a novel mechanism of its chromatin remodeling function codependent on partner ATPase activity.

Identifying the genomic regions where ASCL1 and mSWI/SNF remodelers are both required to regulate chromatin accessibility during neural differentiation [ATAC-seq]

Project description:We interfeered with the ASCL1-mSWI/SNF interaction: to abolish ASCL1 function, we knocked out ASCL1 in human iPSCs, while we used the BRM014 inhibitor to block the mSWI/SNF ATPase activity. We performed ATACseq in WT, ASCL1 KO, and BRM014-treated cells at DIV24, when ASCL1 expression is highest during neural differentiation.

A chemically-targetable transcription factor-chromatin remodeler interaction underlies SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility

Project description:Identification of host determinants of coronavirus infection informs mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and provides novel therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrate that the mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex promotes coronavirus infection and represents a host-directed therapeutic target. SMARCA4 catalytic activity is required for mSWI/SNF-driven chromatin accessibility at the ACE2 locus, which is essential for ACE2 expression and virus susceptibility. Recruitment of mSWI/SNF complexes to ACE2 is mediated by mSWI/SNF binding to the transcription factor, HNF1A, enabling complex occupancy and chromatin accessibility at sites containing high HNF1A motif density. Notably, small molecule inhibition of mSWI/SNF catalytic activity abrogates ACE2 expression confers resistance to SARS-CoV-2 variants and infection of primary human airway cells by 5-logs. These data highlight the role for mSWI/SNF-mediated chromatin remodeling activities in conferring SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and identify a potential new class of inhibitors to combat COVID-19.

Chromatin regulation by BAF170 controls cerebral cortical size and thickness.

Project description:Increased cortical size is essential to the enhanced intellectual capacity of primates during mammalian evolution. The mechanisms that control cortical size are largely unknown. Here, we show that mammalian BAF170, a subunit of the chromatin remodeling complex mSWI/SNF, is an intrinsic factor that controls cortical size. We find that the conditional deletion of BAF170 promotes indirect neurogenesis by increasing the pool of intermediate progenitors (IPs) and results in an enlarged cortex, whereas cortex-specific BAF170 over-expression results an opposing phenotype. Mechanistically, BAF170 competes with BAF155 subunit in the BAF complex, affecting the euchromatin structure and thereby modulating the binding efficiency of Pax6/REST-corepressor complex to Pax6 target genes that regulate the generation of IPs and late cortical progenitors. Our findings reveal a molecular mechanism mediated by the mSWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex that controls cortical architecture. Cortical gene expression is compared between three E12.5 mouse embryos with cortex-specific loss of BAF170 function and three littermate control embryos.

Multiple Overlapping Mammalian Chromatin Remodeling Systems Collaborate Genome-wide at Dynamic Chromatin Transitions (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is an essential process required for the dynamic organization of chromatin structure. Here we describe the genome-wide location and activity of three remodeler proteins with diverse physiological functions in the mouse genome: Brg1, Chd4, and Snf2h. The localization patterns of all three proteins significantly overlap with one another and with regions of accessible chromatin. Furthermore, using inducible mutant variants, we demonstrate that the catalytic activity of these proteins contributes to the remodeling of chromatin genome-wide, and that each of these remodelers can independently regulate chromatin reorganization at distinct sites. Most regions require the activity of more than one remodeler to regulate accessibility. These findings provide a dynamic view of chromatin organization, and highlight the differential contributions of remodelers to chromatin maintenance in higher eukaryotes. We examine the genome-wide location and activity of three remodeler proteins (Brg1, CHD4 and Snf2h)

Multiple Overlapping Mammalian Chromatin Remodeling Systems Collaborate Genome-wide at Dynamic Chromatin Transitions [Affymetrix]

Project description:Expression data from 3134 mouse mammary epithelial cell line -/+ Tet-inducible chromatin remodeler mutant variants ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling is an essential process required for the dynamic organization of chromatin structure. Here we describe the genome-wide location and activity of three remodeler proteins with diverse physiological functions in the mouse genome: Brg1, Chd4 and Snf2h. The localization patterns of all three proteins substantially overlap with one another and with regions of accessible chromatin. Furthermore, using inducible mutant variants, we demonstrate that the catalytic activity of these proteins contributes to the remodeling of chromatin genome wide and that each of these remodelers can independently regulate chromatin reorganization at distinct sites. Many regions require the activity of more than one remodeler to regulate accessibility. We also examined effects of mutant remodeler variants on selective gene expression by global analysis of RNA expression patterns and found more than 800 genes are deregulated by these variants. These findings provide a dynamic view of chromatin organization and highlight the differential contributions of remodelers to chromatin maintenance in higher eukaryotes. Flag tagged dominant negative variants of the chromatin remodelers Brg1, Chd4, and Snf2h were each stably integrated into a cell line containg the tetracycline transactivator regulatory system (3134Tet (7110)). The 3134Tet control cells and each of the dominant-negative remodeler cell lines were grown in media with or without tetracycline for 48 hrs to induce expression of the tetracycline transactivator alone (3134Tet cells) or tetracycline transactivator and dominant negative remodeler variant. Following treatment, cells were harvested for RNA extraction and hybridization to Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays.

BAF subunit switching regulates chromatin accessibility to control cell cycle exit in the developing mammalian cortex [RNA-seq]

Project description:mSWI/SNF or BAF chromatin regulatory complexes are dosage-sensitive regulators of human neural development frequently mutated in autism and intellectual disability. Cell cycle exit and differentiation of neural stem/progenitor cells is accompanied by BAF subunit switching to generate neuron-specific nBAF complexes. We manipulated the timing of BAF subunit exchange in vivo and found that early loss of the npBAF subunit BAF53a stalls cell cycle exit to disrupt neurogenesis. Loss of BAF53a results in decreased chromatin accessibility at specific neural transcription factor binding sites, including the pioneer factors Sox2 and Ascl1, due to Polycomb accumulation. This results in repression of cell cycle genes, thereby blocking cell cycle progression and differentiation. Cell cycle block upon Baf53a deletion could be rescued by premature expression of the nBAF subunit BAF53b but not by other major drivers of proliferation or differentiation. Wnt, EGF, FGF, Sox2, myc or Pax6 all fail to maintain proliferation in the absence of BAF53a, highlighting a novel mechanism underlying neural progenitor cell cycle exit in the continued presence of extrinsic proliferative cues.
