Divergent regulatory element programs steer sex-specific supporting cell differentiation along mouse gonadal development [ATACseq]

ABSTRACT: Identifying cis-regulatory elements is essential for understanding how gene expression is precisely controlled during critical biological processes like sex determination. In this study, we aimed to uncover the cis-regulatory regions involved in the differentiation of supporting cells as Sertoli cells or pre-granulosa cells in the mouse gonads. To achieve this, we combined ATAC sequencing (ATAC-seq) and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) of purified supporting cells at four developmental stages in both sexes. ATAC-seq enabled us to capture sexual and temporal changes in gene expression during cell differentiation, while ATAC-seq provided insight into chromatin accessibility, pinpointing regulatory regions that control these expression patterns. By integrating these two datasets, we identified specific cis-regulatory elements that likely guide the fate of supporting cells. Our findings shed light on the complex gene regulatory networks involved in sex fate differentiation, highlighting the critical role of cis-regulatory elements in orchestrating this process. These insights may also have implications for understanding disorders of sexual development (DSDs).

The landscape of accessible chromatin in mammalian pre-implantation embryos (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:In mammals, extensive chromatin reorganization is essential for reprogramming terminally committed gametes to a totipotent state during preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its dynamics in this period remain unexplored. Here we report a genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in mouse preimplantation embryos using an improved assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) approach with CRISPR/Cas9-assisted mitochondrial DNA depletion. We show that despite extensive parental asymmetry in DNA methylomes, the chromatin accessibility between the parental genomes is globally comparable after major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Accessible chromatin in early embryos is widely shaped by transposable elements and overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Unexpectedly, accessible chromatin is also found near the transcription end sites of active genes. By integrating the maps of cis-regulatory elements and single-cell transcriptomes, we construct the regulatory network of early development, which helps to identify the key modulators for lineage specification. Finally, we find that the activities of cis-regulatory elements and their associated open chromatin diminished before major ZGA. Surprisingly, we observed many loci showing non-canonical, large open chromatin domains over the entire transcribed units in minor ZGA, supporting the presence of an unusually permissive chromatin state. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal chromatin configuration that accompanies early mammalian development. Mouse preimplantation embryos were obtained from crosses of C57BL/6N and DBA/2N. ATAC-seq was performed in these embryos at various stages in preimplantation development.

Epigenetic data during proliferation and differentiation of C2C12 cells

Project description:Hundreds of thousands or even millions active cis-regulatory elements like promoters and enhancers have been provide by different reasearches. But how to understanding the function of these cis-regulatory elements is a big challenge. Using C2C12 cell differentiation as a model, a number of regulatory elements that play an important role in myoblast differentiation were identified depend on ATAC-seq data. Then RNA-seq and Hi-C data was used to reveal how these regulatory elements regulate gene expression and affect the 3D structure of the genome.
