Muscle progenitor specification and myogenic differentiation are associated with changes in chromatin topology

ABSTRACT: Using Hi-C, promoter-capture Hi-C (pCHi-C), and other genome-wide approaches in skeletal muscle progenitors that inducibly express a master transcription factor, Pax7, we systematically characterized at high-resolution the spatio-temporal re-organization of compartments and promoter-anchored interactions as a consequence of myogenic commitment and differentiation. To further investigate transcriptional regulatory mechanisms governed by Pax7, we used immuno-affinity purification and mass spectrometric sequencing to identify the compendium of Pax7-associated proteins in muscle progenitors. Although Pax7-associated proteins have been identified in myoblasts, it is likely that such an approach would fail to uncover progenitor specific interactions with this protein. We therefore isolated chromatin from iPax7 cells engineered with a single, inducible copy of the Flag-tagged Pax7 transgene integrated next to the Hprt locus, which is expected to maintain expression levels comparable to those of satellite cells in the presence of Dox. Through purification of Flag-Pax7, we identified a cohort of factors and complexes involved in gene activation or repression and remodeling of chromatin and genome architecture that were substantially enriched compared to the uninduced control. We also identified a large cohort of sequence-specific TFs, including several that were shown to play an essential role in muscle stem cells (e.g., Foxk1, Six1, Runx1, Tead1, Nfix) and that are recruited to Pax7-bound enhancers in muscle cells. Importantly, we also confirmed multiple interactions from our proteomic screen through immunoprecipitation and western blotting.

Project description:Serum-to-2i interconversion of mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs) is a valuable in vitro model for early embryonic development. To assess whether 3D chromatin organization changes during this transition, we established Capture Hi-C with target-sequence enrichment of DNase I hypersensitive sites. We detected extremely long-range intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions between a small subset of H3K27me3 marked bivalent promoters involving the Hox clusters in serum grown cells. Notably, these promoter-mediated interactions are not present in 2i ground-state pluripotent mESCs but appear upon further development into primed-like serum mESCs. Reverting serum mESCs to ground-state 2i mESCs removes these promoter-promoter interactions in a spatiotemporal manner. H3K27me3, which is largely absent at bivalent promoters in ground-state 2i mESCs, is necessary but not sufficient to establish these interactions, as confirmed by Capture Hi-C on Eed-/- serum mESCs. Our results implicate H3K27me3 and PRC2 as critical players in chromatin alteration during priming of ESCs for differentiation. To study dynamics in chromatin architecture and to characterize long-range interaction, we performed Hi-C using DpnII as the restriction enzyme, potentially reaching a genome-wide coverage at a less than 1Kb resolution. We subsequently performed enrichment of interaction by a target capture similar to the exome sequencing approach. We enriched for DNaseI hyper-sensitive sites (DHSâs) in chromatin from mESCs. Probes were designed against the union of all DHSâs of Serum and 2i mESCs. Capture Hi-C reveals Extremely Long-Range Interactions (ELRI) in Serum but not in 2i ESCs. We observed H3K27me3 as a prominent characteristic, but not exclusive feature of ELRI loci in Serum mESCs. To further elucidate the involvement of constituents of PRC1 and PRC2 in ELRI, we performed ChIP-seq experiment on Suz12 and Ring1B during serum-to-2i transition. In addition, RNA-seq was performed to compare the expression levels of genes.
