An expansion of genomic regulatory complexity underlies vertebrate neuronal diversity

Project description:The proper assembly and function of the mammalian nervous system requires the generation of a uniquely diverse population of neurons. Neuronal identity can be viewed as a cell-type-specific combination of broadly expressed effector genes (e.g. receptors, cytoskeletal proteins, adhesion molecules, ion channels, neurotransmitters) that collectively define neuronal morphology, connectivity, and function. How countless, partially overlapping, yet cell-type-specific patterns of gene expression are controlled at the genomic level remains poorly understood. Using primary and stem cell-derived motor neurons, we mapped enhancer-promoter interactions, revealing that motor neuron enhancers are distributed across large chromatin domains, instead of clustered as super-enhancers previously described in other tissues. The distributed enhancers converge on promoters to regulate both neuronal cell-type- and cell-stage-specific patterns of gene expression. Distributed dynamic enhancers are not a unique property of motor neurons, but are broadly employed in the regulation of gene expression throughout the nervous system. Together, our findings establish that neuronal genes are associated with expanded non-coding genomic domains, accommodating large numbers of independent cell-type- and cell-stage-specific regulatory elements. This regulatory system facilitates the implementation of complex gene expression programs underlying the expansion in the cellular diversity of the vertebrate central nervous system.

An expansion of the non-coding genome and its regulatory potential underlies vertebrate neuronal diversity.

Project description:Proper assembly and function of the nervous system requires the generation of a uniquely diverse population of neurons expressing a cell-type-specific combination of effector genes that collectively define neuronal morphology, connectivity, and function. How countless partially overlapping but cell-type-specific patterns of gene expression are controlled at the genomic level remains poorly understood. Here we show that neuronal genes are associated with highly complex gene regulatory systems composed of independent cell-type- and cell-stage-specific regulatory elements that reside in expanded non-coding genomic domains. Mapping enhancer-promoter interactions revealed that motor neuron enhancers are broadly distributed across the large chromatin domains. This distributed regulatory architecture is not a unique property of motor neurons but is employed throughout the nervous system. The number of regulatory elements increased dramatically during the transition from invertebrates to vertebrates, suggesting that acquisition of new enhancers might be a fundamental process underlying the evolutionary increase in cellular complexity.

Minimum embedding dimension analysis uncovers reduced network complexity during neuronal differentiation in autism spectrum disorder

Project description:Background: Neuronal activity can be modeled as a nonlinear dynamical system to yield novel measures of neuronal state and dysfunction. We hypothesized that electrical activity during neuronal differentiation would be marked by a reduction in dynamical complexity in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: Electrical activity of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neurons from ASD patients and controls were recorded using a multielectrode array (MEA). Minimum embedding dimension (MED) analysis was performed to characterize the complexity present in the electrical recordings of the neuronal cultures during differentiation. Gene expression changes with respect to the MED were analyzed, and gene ontology analysis and the BrainSpan Atlas were used to identify gene enrichments in specific biological pathways, brain regions, and developmental stages. Results: We found that the MED showed a statistically significant deficit in the ASD samples, suggesting that, compared to controls, network complexity is reduced in ASD during neuronal differentiation. MED was correlated to clinical endpoints such as nonverbal intelligence and was associated with 53 differentially expressed genes. These differentially expressed genes were overrepresented in ASD gene lists and pathways related to neurodevelopment, cell morphology, and cell migration. Spatiotemporal analysis also showed a prenatal temporal enrichment in cortical and deep brain structures. Conclusion: Reduced network complexity in ASD was observed by MED analysis during neuronal differentiation, indicating deficits in integrated and synchronized firing. The results present nonlinear dynamical analysis of iPSC-derived neuronal electrical recordings as a new paradigm for the investigation of aberrant brain activity in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Stepwise Neofunctionalization of c-Rel during Vertebrate Evolution (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Adaptive immunity and the five vertebrate NF-kB/Rel family members first appeared in cartilaginous fish, suggesting that NF-kB family expansion allowed the acquisition of new functions to regulate adaptive immune responses. Transcriptome profiling revealed that, even in macrophages, the NF-kB family member, c-Rel, most potently regulates a cytokine gene linked to adaptive immunity, Il12b, with limiting roles at key regulators of innate immunity. Neofunctionalization of c-Rel to regulate Il12b depends on its unique DNA-binding properties, which we examined using structural, biochemical, functional, and genomic approaches. Among our findings was functional c-Rel homodimer binding to motifs with little resemblance to canonical NF-kB motifs. To determine whether c-Rel’s unique binding properties drove c-Rel-RelA divergence, we compared binding properties in various vertebrate species. c-Rel-RelA binding properties diverged in mammals and amphibians but were comparable in earlier vertebrates, suggesting that divergent DNA binding emerged relatively late during vertebrate evolution to support increasing complexity of adaptive immune regulation.
