Project description:DNA methylation, in concert with other epigenetic regulators, controls the accessibility of transcription factors to DNA. While comprehensively described in the development of neuronal progenitors, the role of DNA methylation/demethylation in neuronal lineage/subtype specification is not known. By profiling two distinct neuronal lineages, and five neuron subtypes in the hippocampus and striatum, we uncovered a set of five principles that govern DNA methylation dynamics in neurodevelopment. By dividing neurodevelopment to three alternating methylation and demethylation periods and applying the principles to each of these stages, we created a matrix that comprehensively describes the targets, genomic contexts, functional consequences and putative mechanisms of methylation/demethylation events. The overarching theme is that the developmental methylation program is remarkably similar in the hippocampal and striatal lineages, with significant divergence only occurring during subtype specification. Our matrix can be cross-referenced with disease-associated epigenetic changes to specify the possible events and underlying principles compromised in disease. Compared tissue from C57BL6 male animals at differenent developmental timepoints and regions for differences in DNA methylation and RNA expression. Additionally Dnmt3a conditional knockdown mice were used to determine role of Dnmt3a during development.

Project description:Alterations that perturb differentiation and cell state transitions can lead to defects in development, function and the genesis of cancer. Studying cellular plasticity at high resolution and in real time has proven difficult using existing methods. Here, we use a quantitative approach to gain insights into cell state dynamics of normal mammary epithelial cells (MECs) and validate the model's predictions in vivo. In the absence of Slug/SNAI2, basal mammary progenitor cells transition into a luminal differentiation state, while luminal progenitor cells proliferate and expand; these changes result in abnormal mammary architecture and defects in tissue function. Loss of Slug also disrupts cellular plasticity leading to defects in tissue regeneration and the initiation of cancer. Mechanistically, Slug promotes cellular plasticity by recruiting the chromatin modifier, LSD1 (lysine specific demethylase 1), to promoters of lineage specific genes to represses transcription. Together, these finding demonstrate that Slug is necessary for cellular adaptation during tissue development and regeneration, and that transitioning back into a more primitive stem-like state is a prerequisite for tumor initiation. reference x sample

Project description:The limited regenerative capacity of the human heart is responsible for the high morbidity and mortality world-wide. In contrast, zebrafish possess a robust regenerative capacity. Here, we have characterized the chromatin state transitions during zebrafish heart regeneration and interrogated how gene expression patterns are orchestrated. We found a massive gain of repressive chromatin marks one day after myocardial injury, followed by a large-scale acquisition of active chromatin characteristics on day 4 and a switch to a repressive state on day 14. The correlative analysis predicted known and less well-characterized transcription factors and transcription factor ensembles involved in these transitions and classified them into activators or repressors of specific gene expression programs. Detailed analysis revealed that rapid transcriptional responses involved in extracellular matrix reorganization and TOR signaling involve the engagement of super-enhancers, while H3K4me3 breadth highly correlates with transcriptional activity and the dynamic transcriptional changes at genes involved in proteolysis, cell cycle activity, and cell differentiation. Finally, we detected significant evolutionary conservation between the regulatory regions that drive zebrafish and neonatal mouse regeneration, suggesting that reactivation of transcriptional and epigenetic networks converging on these conserved elements might unlock the regenerative potential of adult human hearts

Project description:Differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) provides a unique opportunity to study the epigenetic mechanisms that facilitate cellular transitions in a human context. To that end, we performed comprehensive transcriptional and epigenetic profiling of early populations derived through directed differentiation of hESCs representing each of the three embryonic germ layers. Integration of whole genome bisulfite sequencing, chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing and RNA-Sequencing reveals unique events associated with specification towards each lineage. While we observe expected dynamics such as loss of DNA methylation and gain of H3K4me1 at distal putative regulatory elements, we frequently found a germ layer specific switch to H3K27me3 at sites of high DNA methylation in the undifferentiated state. By carefully dissecting these initial events, we may be able to devise more faithful differentiation strategies and gain novel insights in to the robust rewiring of regulatory programs during cellular transitions. 10 Samples in total, 5 in replicate. To better understand the interplay of epigenetic dynamics and transcription factor binding upon in vitro specification of human embryonic stem cells we profiled OCT4, SOX2 and NANOG in hESC and the endoderm master regulatory factor FOXA2 in in vitro derived endoderm cells (dEN). To gain further insights into the relation of DNA methylation and TF binding, we carried out ChIP-bisulfite sequencing for FOXA2 in dEN. Lastly, we were interested in the fate of genes bound by FOXA2 in dEN upon further differentiation and therefore differentiated dEN further towards a hepatocyte like state and performed RNA-Seq.
