The Nuclear Matrix Regulates Gene Induction By Maintaining the Chromatin-Speckle Association and Compartmentalization [Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: Emerging evidence reveals the critical role of the nuclear RNA-protein meshwork complex, termed nuclear matrix, in stabilizing chromatin architecture. While chromatin associates with transcriptional machinery within nuclear bodies to regulate gene expression through hierarchical architecture formation, how the nuclear matrix mediates chromatin-nuclear body associations and their spatial organization remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that depletion of nuclear matrix factor SAF-A leads to genome-wide chromatin compaction and enhanced chromatin-speckle associations. Using super-resolution imaging and genomic analyses, we show that these chromatin organizational changes alter the inducibility of speckle-associated genes. Mechanistically, we reveal that nuclear matrix exhibits a layered spatial distribution, forming distinct compartments with RNA polymerase II clusters and chromatin in the perispeckle region. Our findings demonstrate that nuclear matrix maintains chromatin architecture and regulates gene expression through spatial coupling with nuclear bodies, providing new insights into the hierarchical organization of nuclear structure-function relationships.

Highly active chromosome regions preferentially associate with two perispeckle networks that partition the interchromatin space (TSA-seq)

Project description:A subset of highly active chromosomal "hot zones" reproducibly positions adjacent to nuclear speckles (NS). Genes within these regions amplify their expression with NS proximity. However, gene expression changes inversely correlate with changes in NS distance genome-wide. We hypothesized the existence of additional gene expression "niches" away from but spatially correlated with NS. Here we report the identification of two dynamic perispeckle patterns of protein concentrations extending outwards from nuclear speckles and persisting even after NS are eliminated. Highly active chromosome regions which weakly associate with NS instead show close, NS-independent association with these perispeckle patterns. Additionally, transcripts from model intron-containing versus intronless genes associate differentially with these two patterns. While genes within speckle-associated genomic regions predominately are downregulated upon nuclear speckle depletion, genes associated with perispeckle patterns are biased towards upregulation. We suggest the interchromatin space (ICS) is partitioned into additional gene expression “niches”- surrounding and extending from nuclear speckles- that may be involved in mRNA and gene dynamics.

CTCF/cohesin organize the ground state of chromatin-nuclear speckle association [hela rad21-aid RNA-seq]

Project description:The interchromatin space in the cell nucleus contains various membrane-less nuclear bodies. Recent findings indicate that nuclear speckles, comprising a distinct nuclear body, exhibit interactions with certain chromatin regions in a ground state. Key questions are how this ground state of chromatin-nuclear speckle association is established and what are the gene regulatory roles of this layer of nuclear organization. We report here that chromatin structural factors CTCF and cohesin are required for full ground state association between DNA and nuclear speckles. Disruption of ground state DNA-speckle contacts via either CTCF depletion or cohesin depletion had minor effects on basal level expression of speckle-associated genes, however we show strong negative effects on stimulus-dependent induction of speckle-associated genes. We identified a putative speckle targeting motif (STM) within cohesin subunit RAD21 and demonstrated that the STM is required for chromatin-nuclear speckle association. In contrast to reduction of CTCF or RAD21, depletion of the cohesin releasing factor WAPL stabilized cohesin on chromatin and DNA-speckle contacts, resulting in enhanced inducibility of speckle-associated genes. In addition, we observed disruption of chromatin-nuclear speckle association in patient derived cells with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), a congenital neurodevelopmental diagnosis involving defective cohesin pathways, thus revealing nuclear speckles as an avenue for therapeutic inquiry. In summary, our findings reveal a mechanism to establish the ground organizational state of chromatin-speckle association, to promote gene inducibility, and with relevance to human disease.
