Project description:Investigation of the role played by GATA6 in establishing the definitive endoderm chromatin accessbility profile. We used pluripotent stem cells as a model of early development. We derived GATA6-/- pluripotent cells with an inducible GATA6 or FOXA2 construct that permits exongenous GATA6 or FOXA2 cDNA expression upon supplementation of doxycycline. We differentiated GATA6+/+ and GATA6-/- (with and without doxycyline) cells to definitive endoderm and analyzed transcription factor binding profiles using CHIP-seq.

Project description:Foxa2 is required for endoderm differentiation into hepatic lineage. The mechanism of activation for Foxa2 during this developmental process has not been elucidated yet. We established an in vitro system to guide ES cells differentiating into definitive endoderm (DE) cells and the following DE cells to early hepatic cells. ChIP-seq assays have been successfully performed to assess Foxa2 binding profile. Over 50% of Foxa2 target genes in DE cells were found being activated in hepatic cells which were at a stage later than DE stage. Therefore, our finding at genome-wide level proved Foxa2 serving as a pioneer factor at DE stage. Furthermore, Foxa2 could specifically induce H3K4me2 modifications to the promoter/enhancer regions of many hepatic genes to pre-mark the chromatin, and determine the hepatic lineage differentiation competence. Our study illustrated the wide existence of Foxa2M-bM-^@M-^Ys pioneer factor function and uncovered the correlation between pioneer factor and chromatin pre-mark. These findings will be helpful for understanding the developmental process of hepatogenesis and efficiently controlling Foxa2 during hepatic induction for generating functional hepatocytes.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays important role in lineage specifications of embryonic stem cells. However, it is still difficult to systematically dissect the specific m6A sites that are essential for early lineage differentiation. Here, we develop an adenine base editor-based strategy to systematically identify functional m6A sites that control lineage decisions of human embryonic stem cells. We design 7999 sgRNAs targeting 6048 m6A sites to screen for m6A sites that act as either boosters or barriers to definitive endoderm specification of human embryonic stem cells. We identify 78 sgRNAs enriched in the non-definitive endoderm cells and 137 sgRNAs enriched in the definitive endoderm cells. We successfully validate two definitive endoderm promoting m6A sites on SOX2 and SDHAF1 as well as a definitive endoderm inhibiting m6A site on ADM. Our study provides a functional screening of m6A sites and paves the way for functional studies of m6A at individual m6A site level.

Project description:Here we introduce the Multiplexed Integrated Accessibility Assay (MIAA), a multiplexed parallel reporter assay which measures changes to genome accessibility as a result of the integration of synthetic oligonucleotide phrase libraries into a controlled, natively inaccessible genomic context. We apply MIAA to measure the effects of sequence motifs on cell type-specific DNA accessibility between mouse embryonic stem cells and embryonic stem cell-derived definitive endoderm cells, screening a total of 7,905 distinct phrases. MIAA is able to recapitulate differential accessibility patterns of 100-nt sequences derived from natively differential genomic regions, identifying the presence of E-box motifs common to epithelial-mesenchymal transition driver transcription factors in stem cell-specific accessible regions that become repressed during differentiation to endoderm. We further present causal evidence that a single binding motif for a key regulatory transcription factor is sufficient to open chromatin, and classify sets of stem cell-specific, endoderm-specific, and shared pioneer factor motifs. We also demonstrate that over-expression of two definitive endoderm transcription factors, Brachyury and FoxA2, results in changes to accessibility in phrases containing their respective DNA-binding motifs. Finally, we use MIAA results to explore the order of motif interactions and identify preferential motif ordering arrangements that appear to have an effect on accessibility.

Project description:Pioneer transcription factors (PTF) can recognize their binding sites on nucleosomal DNA and trigger chromatin opening for recruitment of other non-pioneer transcription factors. However, critical properties of PTFs are still poorly understood, such as how can these transcription factors selectively recognize cell type-specific binding sites and under which conditions can they initiate chromatin remodelling. Here we show that early endoderm binding sites of the paradigm PTF Foxa2 are epigenetically primed by low levels of active chromatin modifications in embryonic stem cells (ESC). Priming of these binding sites is supported by preferential recruitment of Foxa2 to endoderm binding sites compared to lineage-inappropriate binding sites, when ectopically expressed in ESCs. We further show that binding of Foxa2 is required for chromatin opening during endoderm differentiation. However, increased chromatin accessibility was only detected on binding sites which are synergistically bound with other endoderm transcription factors. Thus, our data suggest that binding site selection of PTFs is directed by the chromatin environment and that chromatin opening requires collaboration of PTFs with additional transcription factors.
