Project description:Specification of Sox2+ proneurosensory progenitors within otic ectoderm is a prerequisite for the production of sensory cells and neurons for hearing. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage specification remain unknown. Here, we show that Brg1-based SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex interacts with the neurosensory-specific transcriptional regulators Eya1/Six1 to induce Sox2 expression and proneurosensory-lineage specification. Ablation of the ATPase-subunit Brg1 or both Eya1/Six1 results in loss of Sox2 expression and lack of neurosensory identity. Brg1 and Six1 co-occupy three distal 3' Sox2 enhancers and Brg1-recruitment to these regions is disrupted in Eya1- or Six1-null otocyst. Eya1 as a coactivator of Six1 synergistically regulates the activity of these enhancers, which drives expression in otic neurosensory cells in response to binding to Six1. Thus, through interaction with Six1/Eya1, the Brg1-based SWI/SNF complex specifies otic proneurosensory lineage. Furthermore, genome-wide and transcriptome analyses reveal that Brg1 also suppresses expression of non-otic genes.

Project description:Specification of Sox2+ pro-neurosensory progenitors within otic ectoderm is a prerequisite for the production of sensory cells and neurons for hearing. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage specification remain unknown. Here, we show that Brg1-based SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex interacts with the neurosensory-specific transcriptional regulators Eya1/Six1 to induce Sox2 expression and promote pro-neurosensory-lineage specification. Ablation of the ATPase-subunit Brg1 or both Eya1/Six1 results in loss of Sox2 expression and lack of neurosensory identity, leading to abnormal apoptosis within the otic ectoderm. Brg1 binds to two of three distal 3' Sox2 enhancers occupied by Six1, and Brg1-binding to these regions depends on Eya1-Six1 activity. We demonstrate that the activity of these Sox2 enhancers in otic neurosensory cells specifically depends on binding to Six1. Furthermore, genome-wide and transcriptome profiling indicate that Brg1 may suppress apoptotic factor Map3k5 to inhibit apoptosis. Together, our findings reveal an essential role for Brg1, its downstream pathways, and their interactions with Six1/Eya1, in promoting pro-neurosensory fate induction in the otic ectoderm and subsequent neuronal lineage commitment and survival of otic cells.

Project description:Early B cell development is orchestrated by the combined activities of the transcriptional regulators E2A, EBF1, Foxo1 and Ikaros. However, how the genome-wide binding patterns of these regulators are modulated during B-lineage development remains to be determined. Here, we found that in lymphoid progenitors the chromatin remodeler Brg1 specified the B cell fate. In committed pro-B cells Brg1 regulated Igh locus contraction and controlled c-Myc expression to modulate the expression of genes that regulate ribosome biogenesis. In committed pro-B cells Brg1 also suppressed a pre-B lineage-specific pattern of gene expression. Finally, we found that Brg1 acted mechanistically to establish B cell fate and modulate cell growth by facilitating access of lineage-specific transcription factors to poised enhancer repertoires. 8 ATAC-Seq samples from sorted ALP and BLP (duplicates, control and Brg1-deleted), 4 ATAC-Seq samples from cultured pro-B cells (duplicates, control and Brg1-deleted), 2 Ikaros ChIP-seq samples (performed in Rag1-/- pro-B cells and in E2A-/- pre-pro-B cells), 1 Brg1 ChIP-seq sample and accompanying Input sample (both in Rag1-/- pro-B cells), 4 RNA-Seq samples from cultured pro-B cells (duplicates, control and Brg1-deleted), 6 RNA-Seq samples from cultured Rag1-/- pro-B cells (triplicates, control and Brg1-knock down).

Project description:The inner ear develops from a patch of thickened cranial ectoderm adjacent to the hindbrain called the otic placode. Studies in a number of vertebrate species suggest that the initial steps in induction of the otic placode are regulated by members of the Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) family, and that inhibition of FGF signaling can prevent otic placode formation. To better understand the genetic pathways activated by FGF signaling during otic placode induction, we performed microarray experiments to estimate the proportion of chicken otic placode genes that can be up-regulated by the FGF pathway in a simple culture model of otic placode induction. Surprisingly, we find that FGF is only sufficient to induce about 15% of chick otic placode-specific genes in our experimental system. However, pharmacological blockade of the FGF pathway in cultured chick embryos showed that although FGF signaling was not sufficient to induce the majority of otic placode-specific genes, it was still necessary for their expression in vivo. These inhibitor experiments further suggest that the early steps in otic placode induction regulated by FGF signaling occur through the MAP kinase pathway. Although our work suggests that FGF signaling is necessary for otic placode induction, it demonstrates that other unidentified signaling pathways are required to co-operate with FGF signaling to induce the full otic placode program. 8 samples were analyzed. These contain two replicates of each of the following four catergories: Otic ectoderm, Non-Otic (lateral) ectoderm, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured - FGF, Trigeminal Ectoderm cultured + FGF

Project description:Previously FGF signalling has been shown to specify otic fate from multipotent pre-placodal ectoderm. Though many FGF target genes have been identified in subsequent studies, none of them is sufficient to induce otic lineage. Profiling and analysing the transcriptome and epigenomical signature during otic specification, we predicted and confirmed Sox8 as an otic master regulator, able to specify otic fate in the pre-placodal ectoderm. This is achieved by activating the expression of otic identity markers and compromising the fate towards lens and trigeminal ganglion. In the combat to differentiate ESCs/iPSCs or convert other cell lineage into otic lineage, our discovery may add another weaponry to tame these cells towards otic cells.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory RNAs, which by altering gene expression impact on the cellular phenotype and cardiovascular disease development. The pool of endothelial lncRNAs and their vascular function is largely undefined. Deep-endothelial RNA-Seq and FANTOM5 CAGE analysis revealed LINC00607 as a specifically enriched and highly expressed lncRNA in human endothelial cells. LINC00607 was induced in response to hypoxia, arteriosclerosis regression in non-human primates and also in response to propranolol used to induce regression of human arteriovenous malformations. siRNA Knockdown or CRISPR/Cas9 knockout of LINC00607 attenuated VEGF-A-induced angiogenic sprouting. LINC00607 knockout HUVEC also integrated less into newly formed vascular networks in an in vivo assay in SCID mice. Overexpression of LINC00607 in CRISPR knockout cells restored the normal function. RNA- and ATAC-Seq of the LINC00607 knockout revealed changes in transcription of endothelial gene sets particularly linked to the endothelial phenotype. This was most likely the consequence of a reduced chromatin accessibility of the ERG binding motif. Mechanistically, LINC00607 interacts with the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling protein BRG1. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of BRG1 in HUVEC followed by CUT&RUN revealed that BRG1 is required to secure a stable chromatin state, mainly on ERG-binding sites. In conclusion, LINC00607 is a highly expressed endothelial-specific lncRNA important for efficient endothelial gene transcription through sustaining ERG target gene transcription by interaction with the chromatin remodeler BRG1.
