Project description:While it is understood that the genome is organized into large domains, little is known about cell-type specific interactions at individual loci in mammalian development. Imprinted loci represent a compelling feature of chromatin conformation, illustrating how genes are controlled in local domains to drive parental-specific transcriptional programs important for growth: a clear example being the imprinted Grb10-Ddc locus. Using hybrid mouse crosses and genetic engineering, we uncovered an insulator at Grb10 that is tissue-specific and dynamically controlled by DNA methylation. Insulator CBR2.3 acquires paternal-specific hypomethylation post-implantation, assembling a higher-order structure on the paternal chromosome. Deletion of paternal CBR2.3 converts the chromatin domain to the maternal configuration, redirecting Grb10-Ddc enhancer function, resulting in major cardiac phenotypes. We conclude that CBR2.3 functions as a shared, paternal and tissue-specific insulator for Grb10-Ddc expression in heart, contributing to fundamentally different chromosomal conformations that impact enhancer activity in vivo.

Project description:Allele-specific expression of imprinted gene clusters is governed by gametic DNA methylation at master regulators called imprinting control regions (ICRs). Non-gametic or secondary differentially methylated regions (DMRs) at promoters and exonic regions reinforce monoallelic expression but do not control an entire cluster. Here, we unveil an unconventional secondary DMR that is indispensable for tissue-specific imprinting of two previously unlinked genes, Grb10 and Ddc. Using polymorphic mice, we mapped an intronic secondary DMR at Grb10 with paternal-specific CTCF binding (CBR2.3) that forms contacts with Ddc. Deletion of paternal CBR2.3 removed a critical insulator, resulting in substantial shifting of chromatin looping and ectopic enhancer-promoter contacts. Destabilized gene architecture precipitated abnormal Grb10-Ddc expression with developmental consequences in the heart and muscle. Thus, we redefine the Grb10-Ddc imprinting domain by uncovering an unconventional intronic secondary DMR that functions as an insulator to instruct the tissue-specific, monoallelic expression of multiple genes-a feature previously ICR exclusive.

Project description:In mammals, chromatin organization undergoes drastic reprogramming after fertilization. However, the three-dimensional structure of chromatin and its reprogramming in preimplantation development remain poorly understood. Here, by developing a low-input Hi-C (genomewide chromosome conformation capture) approach, we examined the reprogramming of chromatin organization during early development in mice. We found that oocytes in metaphase II show homogeneous chromatin folding that lacks detectable topologically associating domains (TADs) and chromatin compartments. Strikingly, chromatin shows greatly diminished higher-order structure after fertilization. Unexpectedly, the subsequent establishment of chromatin organization is a prolonged process that extends through preimplantation development, as characterized by slow consolidation of TADs and segregation of chromatin compartments. The two sets of parental chromosomes are spatially separated from each other and display distinct compartmentalization in zygotes. Such allele separation and allelic compartmentalization can be found as late as the 8-cell stage. Finally, we show that chromatin compaction in preimplantation embryos can partially proceed in the absence of zygotic transcription and is a multi-level hierarchical process. Taken together, our data suggest that chromatin may exist in a markedly relaxed state after fertilization, followed by progressive maturation of higher-order chromatin architecture during early development.

Project description:The objective of this project is to study the proteome in different tissues of huntingtin knock-in allelic series in mice. In the current part of the study, heart samples from the complete allelic series collected at 2, 6, and 10 months were analyzed. To this end, comprehensive quantitative, label-free proteome analysis was performed using Evotec’s quantitative Deep Proteome Profiling technology.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of recombinant human Cytoglobin (rhCYGB) on liver fibrosis induced by DDC diet in mice. Method: mRNA profiles of liver tissue of DDC-control mice and liver tissue of DDC-rhCYGB treated mice treated were generated by deep sequencing. Results: The RNA-seq data confirmed that extracellular matrix-encoding genes and fibrosis-related genes were down-regulated by the His-CYGB treatment.

Project description:Genes are generally thought to be expressed from both alleles. There are some exceptions, including Random monoallelic expression (RME), even though its extent is still somewhat debated. We assessed whether and how some autosomal genes that we previously identified as being RME are prone to persistent and stable monoallelic expression. Not only do we confirm the occurrence of RME at large frequencies, our results also reveal unforeseen modes of allelic expression,that appear to be gene specific and epigenetically regulated. This non-canonical allelic regulation has large physiological and pathological implications and represents novel therapeutic perspectives.

Project description:Background and aims: Liver is a major target organ for alcohol-induced disease and the spectrum of pathological states elicited by alcohol in liver comprises steatosis, alcoholic steatohepatitis, progressive fibrosis and cirrhosis, conditions that may progress to hepatocellular carcinoma. Many experimental animal models of alcoholic steatohepatitis exist that vary in duration, mode of alcohol administration and the degree and types of liver injury produced. While most of these models, regardless whether alcohol is administered through liquid diet or intragastrically, produce steatohepatitis and mild fibrosis, it is widely acknowledged that these models fail to fully recapitulate key characteristics of severe forms of alcoholic liver disease, such as alcoholic hepatitis. Recent studies attempted to combine alcohol and fibrosis and achieved promising results in mouse models that achieve some of the key features of alcoholic liver disease accompanied by exacerbated fibrosis and acute renal injury. This study combined a chronic cholestatic liver fibrosis model induced by 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocollidine (DDC) with a mouse model of intragastric alcohol feeding. Methods: Adult male C57BL6/J mice were treated with 3,5-diethoxycarbonyl-1,4-dihydrocolidine (DDC) containing diet (0.05% w/w) to induce chronic liver fibrosis. Following DDC-induced fibrogenesis, ethyl alcohol (EtOH) (up to 27 g/ kg/day, up to 28 days) was administered continuously to mice via a gastric feeding tube (Tsukamoto-Frenchmodel of alcoholic liver disease). Results: Exposure to DDC or EtOH alone resulted in liver fibrosis or steatosis, respectively. Combined treatment with DDC and EtOH lead to an additive effect on liver injury, as evident by the development of hepatic inflammation, steatosis, and pericellular fibrosis, and by increased serum transaminase levels, compared to mice treated with either agent alone. Liver transcriptomic changes specific to combined treatment group included pathways involved in the cell cycle and DNA damage. Analyses of feces from these mice revealed alcohol-associated changes to the bile acid profile and gut microbiome. Conclusions: Mice treated with DDC and EtOH displayed several key characteristics of human alcoholic hepatitis, including pericellular fibrosis, increased hepatic bacterial load with dysbiosis, reduced capacity of the microbiome to synthesize secondary bile acids.
