Dissecting the epigenomic dynamics of human fetal germ cell development at single-cell resolution

Project description:The proper development of fetal germ cells (FGCs) is vital for genetic and epigenetic information transmission in generations. We have depicted the transcriptional landscape of distinct phases FGCs and the interaction between FGCs and gonadal niche cells. However, the epigenetic dynamics of sequential phases FGCs still remains in dimness. Here applied with single cell sequencing techniques (scBS-seq and scCOO-seq), we analyzed the genome-wide DNA methylation and chromatin accessibility map of female mitosis, meiotic prophase, and oogenesis FGCs, as well as male mitosis and mitotic-arrest FGCs.

In vivo epigenomic profiling of germ cells reveals germ cell molecular signatures [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The limited number of in vivo germ cells poses an impediment to genome-wide studies. Here, we applied a small-scale ChIP-Seq method on purified mouse fetal germ cells to generate genome-wide maps of four histone modifications (H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac and H2BK20ac), facilitating the identification of active and repressed cis-regulatory elements in germ cells in vivo. Comparison of active chromatin state between somatic, embryonic stem cells (ESC) and germ cells revealed promoters and enhancers needed for stem cell maintenance and germ cell development. The nuclear receptor Nr5a2 motif is enriched at a subset of cis-regulatory regions and we confirm its role in germ cell differentiation. Interestingly, germ cells have comparatively more H3K27me3-marked sites that are absent in ESC and other somatic cell types. These repressed regions are enriched for retrotransposons and MHC genes and this indicates that these loci are specifically silenced in germ cells. Together, our study provides the first genome-wide histone modification maps of in vivo germ cells and revealed the molecular chromatin signatures unique to germ cells. Germ cells were FACS-purified from gonadal single cell suspension based on Pou5f1-GFP expression. ChIP-seq of Histone modification was done for two timepoints in this study: E11.5 (male/female), E13.5 (male). For E13.5 timepoint, two biological replicates were analyzed. In order to validate small scale ChIP-seq method limited number of ES cells were used to check consistency of ChIP-seq data.

Epigenomic profiling of mouse nucleus accumbens at single-cell resolution

Project description:The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is a key brain region involved in reward processing and is linked to multiple neuropsychiatric conditions such as substance use disorder, depression, and chronic pain. Recent studies have begun to investigate persistent changes in NAc gene expression at a single-cell resolution, however, our understanding of the cellular heterogeneity of the NAc epigenomic landscape remains limited. In this study, we utilize single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using high-throughput sequencing (snATAC-seq) to map cell-type-specific differences in chromatin accessibility in the NAc. Our findings not only reveal the transcription factors and putative gene regulatory elements that may contribute to these cell-type-specific epigenomic differences but also provide a valuable resource for future studies investigating epigenomic changes that occur in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Expression profiling of FACS-purified fetal germ cells

Project description:We used microarrays to profile global gene expression changes of Pou5f1-GFP-positive germ cells between E11.5 to E15.5. Germ cells were FACS-purified from gonadal single cell suspension based on Pou5f1-GFP expression. Three timepoints were included in this study: E11.5 (male/female), E13.5 (male) and E15.5 (male). For each timepoint, three biological replicates were analyzed. The Pou5f1-GFP-negative (non-germ cell) fraction of E13.5 (male) gonads was also included as a control.

transcriptional landscape of Germ cell differentiation at single cell resolution

Project description:Single cell sequencing technologies are powerful tools for the dissection of large regulatory networks and their role in directing developmental trajectories. The goal of this project is to profile the transcriptional landscape of germ cell development in the mouse male embryo at single cell resolution, and to examine the dynamic regulation of the molecular networks directing epigenetic reprogramming in these cells.
