Mapping of Chromatin Architecture and Enhancer-Promoter Interactions in the Cochlea

ABSTRACT: Chromatin interactions, particularly those between promoters and distal enhancers, enable precise gene regulation in specialized tissues, like the cochlea in the inner ear. Disruptions in these long-range interactions between enhancers and gene promoters are linked to hereditary hearing loss. For many genes important to cochlear development and function, the distal regulatory elements that control their expression remain unknown. Identifying these elements and studying their regulatory roles is challenging due to their distance from target genes and the spatial complexity of chromatin architecture. To address this, we employed Micro-C, a high-resolution chromatin conformation capture technique that enables nucleosome-level mapping of chromatin interactions, to construct a cochlea-specific chromatin interaction map. We then integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic data to interpret enhancer-promoter interactions involved in gene regulation.

Expression data from proximal, middle, and distal segments of E6.5 chicken cochlea

Project description:Precise frequency discrimination is a hallmark of auditory function in birds and mammals. In the cochlea, tuning and spectral separation result from longitudinal differences in basilar membrane stiffness and numerous individual gradiations in sensory hair cell phenotypes, but it is unknown what patterns those phenotypes. Hypothesizing that morphogen levels might differ along the longitudinal axis of the developing cochlea, we sequenced the transcriptomes of the proximal, middle, and distal thirds of the chicken cochlea at E6.5, when postmitotic hair cells first form. Embryonic day 6.5 chicken cochlea were dissected. Three samples were collected from each cochlear duct by cutting the duct into three approximately equal sized pieces to produce proximal, middle, and distal pieces. Each sample contained a portion of the future tegmentum vasculosum and the basilar papilla sensory epithelium. The distal piece also contained the region fo the future lagena.

Proteome Comparison of Different-Aged Cochlea

Project description:Our work describes the application of mass spectrometry-based label-free quantitative proteomics for the identification of differentially expressed proteins between different-aged cochlea. We report proteins exclusively present as well as up- and downregulated in the cochlear sensory epithelium at significant developmental stages. Additionally, we report proteins exclusively present on P3 that were recently identified in the cochlea for the first time. We use bioinformatics to provide insight on biological functions and potential primary and secondary partners of the differentially expressed proteins. This study provides the first differentially expressed proteome in the mammalian cochlea at significant developmental stages; before hearing, during the onset of hearing, and when hearing is fully developed. We believe that these results will provide insights into the function of proteins that change during development and identify potential protein biomarkers related to hearing impairments.

Gene expression profiles along the tonotopic axis of the mouse cochlea during neonatal development

Project description:The cochlear duct is tonotopically organized, such that the basal cochlea responds more sensitively to high frequency sounds and the apical cochlea to low frequency sounds. In effort to understand how the tonotopic organization is established in mammals, we searched for genes that are differentially expressed along the tonotopic axis during neonatal development. Eighty temporal bones were dissected from C57BL/6 mice at P0 and P8. The cochlear tissues were divided into three equal pieces representing the basal, middle and apical turns, and pooled separately. Six total RNA from the pooled samples were applied to 6 GeneChips.

Genome-wide characterization of Six1 binding in embryo and cochlea

Project description:Otic ectoderm gives rise to almost all cell types of the inner ear; however, the mechanisms that link transcription factors, chromatin, lineage commitment and differentiation capacity are largely unknown. Here we show that Brg1 chromatin-remodeling factor is required for specifying neurosensory lineage in the otocyst and for inducing hair and supporting cell fates in the cochlear sensory epithelium. Brg1 interacts with the critical neurosensory-specific transcription factors Eya1/Six1, both of which simultaneously interact with BAF60a or BAF60c. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) and ChIP assays demonstrate Brg1 association with discrete regulatory elements at the Eya1 and Six1 loci. Brg1-deficiency leads to markedly decreased Brg1 binding at these elements and loss of Eya1 and Six1 expression. Furthermore, ChIP-seq reveals Brg1-bound promoter-proximal and distal regions near genes essential for inner ear morphogenesis and cochlear sensory epithelium development. These findings uncover essential functions for chromatin-remodeling in the activation of neurosensory fates during inner ear development.

3D genome organization during TGFB-induced transcription requires nuclear microRNA and G-quadruplexes

Project description:Studying the dynamics of three-dimensional (3D) chromatin structure is essential to the understanding of biological processes in the nucleus. Integrative analysis of multi-omics data in recent publications have provided comprehensive and multilevel insight into 3D genome organization emphasizing its role for transcriptional regulation. While enhancers are regulatory elements that play a central role in the spatiotemporal control of gene expression, chromatin looping has been broadly accepted as a means for enhancer-promoter interactions yieldingcell-type-specific gene expression signatures. On the other hand, G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical DNA secondary structures that are enriched at promoters and related to increased gene expression, both. A role for G4s in promoter-distal regulatory elements, such as super-enhancers (SE), as well as in 3D genome organization and chromatin looping mediating long-range enhancer-promoter interactions has, however, remained elusive. Here we show that mature microRNA 9 (miR-9) is enriched at promoters and SE of genes that are inducible by tissue growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) signaling. Further, we find that nuclear miR-9 is required for chromatin features related to increased transcriptional activity, such as broad domains of the euchromatin histone mark H3K4me3 (histone 3 tri-methylated lysine 4) and G4s. Moreover, we show that nuclear miR-9 is required for promoter-super-enhancer looping. Our study places a nuclear microRNA in the same structural and functional context with G4s and promoter-enhancer interactions during 3D genome organization and transcriptional activation induced by TGFB1 signaling, a critical regulator of proliferation programs in cancer and fibrosis.

Chromatin interactions involving super-enhancers associate with specific expression patterns of target genes

Project description:Super-enhancers may regulate target genes through chromatin looping. We connected super-enhancers in the K562 chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line with chromatin interactions identified from Chromatin Interaction Analysis with Paired-End Tag (ChIA-PET) data. Gene expression at proximal elements that are connected with distal super-enhancers showed significantly higher cell-type specificity than at proximal elements connected with other elements or not involved in interaction. 4C and Episwitch analysis of chromatin interactions showed that certain chromatin interactions are cell-specific, but others are more general. While super-enhancers upstream of c-MYC at the MYC-335 element can be found in other cancers, only super-enhancers downstream of c-MYC can be found in K562. 4C analysis of the c-MYC promoter revealed no chromatin interactions that are directed upstream of c-MYC, but only downstream of c-MYC, in the PVT1 long non-coding RNA gene. Cell-specific usage of super-enhancers could explain why the MYC-335 element that is associated with many solid cancers such as colorectal cancer and breast cancer, but not with leukemia. Surprisingly, we found that a chromatin interaction between c-MYC and a c-MYC super-enhancer is lost in chronic myelogenous leukemia patient blood as compared with blood from individuals without the disease through Oxford Biodynamicsâ?? Episwitch analysis. These results provide evidence for fine-tuning of expression patterns, such as cell-specific regulation of target genes by distal super-enhancers through chromatin interactions and an association between chromatin interactions and disease, and highlight that super-enhancers are more complex than previously described.

Deafness Gene Expression Patterns in the Mouse Cochlea Found by Microarray Analysis

Project description:This study demonstrates the baseline data of gradient gene expression in the cochlea. Especially for genes whose mutations cause autosomal dominant non syndromic hearing loss (Pou4f3, Slc17a8, Tmc1, and Crym) as well as genes important for cochlear function (Emilin-2 and Tectb), gradual expression changes help to explain the various pathological conditions. Four C57BL/6 mice aged 6 weeks cochlea samples including the lateral wall, stria vascularis, spiral ligament, spiral prominence, and the organ of corti were dissected and separated into the apical, middle and basal turns to compare gene expression profiles of each cochlea turn.

scRNA-seq of P2 mouse cochlea

Project description:Age-related hearing impairment (ARHI), one of the most common medical conditions, is strongly heritable, yet its genetic causes remain largely unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS summary statistics from multiple hearing-related traits in the UK Biobank (n = up to 323,978) and identified 31 genome-wide significant risk loci for self-reported hearing difficulty (p < 5e-8), of which 30 have not been reported previously at genome-wide significance. We interpreted these loci in the context of newly generated ATAC-seq and single-cell RNA-seq from cells in the mouse cochlea. Risk-associated genes were enriched for expression in cochlear epithelial and non-epithelial cells, as well as for genes related to sensory perception and known Mendelian deafness genes, supporting their relevance to auditory function. Regions of the human genome homologous to open chromatin in sensory epithelial cells from the mouse were strongly enriched for heritable risk for hearing difficulty, even after adjusting for baseline effects of evolutionary conservation and cell-type non-specific regulatory regions. Epigenomic and statistical fine-mapping most strongly supported 50 putative risk genes. Of these, at least 45 were expressed in mouse cochlea and 15 were enriched specifically in sensory hair cells. These results reveal new risk loci and risk genes for hearing difficulty and suggest an important role for altered gene regulation in the cochlear sensory epithelium.
