A Switch Between Topological Domains Underlies HoxD Genes Collinearity in Mouse Limbs (4C-Seq)

ABSTRACT: During limb development, Hoxd genes are transcribed in two waves: Early on, when the arm and forearm are specified and subsequently, when digits form. While the latter phase is controlled by enhancers centromeric to the HoxD cluster, we show here that the early phase requires enhancers located in the opposite telomeric gene desert. The transition between the two types of regulations involves a functional switch between two distinct topological domains, as reflected by a subset of genes mapping centrally into the cluster, which initially interact with the telomeric domain and subsequently shift to establish new contacts on the opposite side. This transition between two regulatory landscapes generates an intermediate area of low Hox dose developing into the wrist, the transition between our arms and our hands. This intriguing correspondence between genomic and morphological boundaries illustrates the mechanism underlying collinear Hox gene regulation in our developing appendages.

Spatial organization of chromatin at the HoxD locus in developing caeca (4C-seq)

Project description:Hox genes are required for the development of the intestinal caecum, a major organ of species eating plants. We have analysed the transcriptional regulation of Hoxd genes in caecal buds and show that they are controlled by a series of enhancers located in a gene desert telomeric to the HoxD cluster. The start site of two neighboring and opposite long non-coding RNAs, Hotdog and Twin of Hotdog, specifically transcribed in the caecum, contacts the expressed Hoxd genes in the framework of a topological domain, a large domain of interactions, which ensures a robust transcription of these genes during caecum budding. We show that hedgehogs have kept this regulatory potential despite the absence of caecum, suggesting that these enhancers are used in other developmental situations. In this context, we discuss some striking similarities between the caecum and the limb buds, suggesting the implementation of a common budding tool-kit.

Conservation and divergence of regulatory strategies and the origin of tetrapod digits

Project description:The evolution of tetrapod limbs from fish fins enabled the conquest of land by vertebrates and thus represents a key step in evolution. Despite the use of comparative gene expression analyses, critical aspects of this transformation remain controversial, in particularly the origin of digits. Hoxa and Hoxd genes are essential for the specification of the different limb segments and their functional abrogation leads to large truncations of the appendages. Here we show that the selective transcription of mouse Hoxa genes in proximal and distal limbs is related to a bimodal higher order chromatin structure, similar to that reported for Hoxd genes, thus revealing a generic regulatory strategy implemented by both gene clusters during limb development. We found the same bimodal chromatin architecture in fish embryos, indicating that the regulatory strategy used to pattern tetrapod limbs predates the divergence between fish and tetrapods. However, when assessed in mice, both fish regulatory domains triggered transcription in proximal, rather than distal limb territories, supporting an evolutionary scenario whereby digits arose as true tetrapod novelties through genetic retrofitting of a preexisting bimodal chromatin framework. We discuss the possibility to consider regulatory circuitries, rather than expression patterns, as essential parameters to define evolutionary synapomorphies.

Convergent evolution of complex regulatory landscapes and pleiotropy at Hox loci (4C-seq)

Project description:Hox genes are required during the morphogenesis of both vertebrate digits and external genitals.We investigated whether transcription in such distinct contexts involves a shared enhancer-containing landscape. We show that the same regulatory topology is used, yet with some tissue-specific enhancer-promoter interactions, suggesting the hijacking of a regulatory backbone from one context to the other. In addition, comparable organizations are observed at both HoxA and HoxD clusters, which separated through genome duplication in an ancestral invertebrate animal.We propose that this convergent regulatory evolution was triggered by the pre-existence of some chromatin architecture, thus facilitating the subsequent recruitment of the appropriate transcription factors. Such regulatory topologies may have both favored and constrained the evolution of pleiotropic developmental loci in vertebrates.

ChIP-seq: Temporal dynamics and developmental memory of 3D chromatin architecture at Hox gene loci

Project description:Hox genes are essential regulators of embryonic development. They are activated in a temporal sequence following their topological order within their genomic clusters. Subsequently, states of activity are fine-tuned and maintained to translate into domains of progressively overlapping gene products. While the mechanisms underlying such temporal and spatial progressions begin to be understood, many of their aspects remain unclear. We have systematically analyzed the 3D chromatin organization of Hox clusters in vivo, during their activation using high-resolution circular chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq). Initially, Hox clusters are organized as single 3D chromatin compartments decorated with bivalent chromatin marks. Their progressive transcriptional activation is associated with a dynamic bi-modal 3D organization, whereby the genes switch one after the other, from an inactive to an active 3D compartment. These local 3D dynamics occur within a larger constitutive framework of interactions within the surrounding Topological Associated Domains, which confirms previous results that regulation of this process in primarily cluster intrinsic. The local step-wise progression in time can be stopped and memorized at various body levels and hence it may accounts for the various chromatin architectures previously described at different anterior to posterior body levels for the same embryo at a later stage.

Characterization of novel human cystatin B salivary interactome in Alzheimer’s disease and healthy subjects.

Project description:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the elderly, characterized by the accumulation in the brain of misfolded proteins, inflammation, and oxidative damage leading to neuronal cell death. The necessity of searching for new non-invasive biomarkers in tissues or body fluids easy and painless to collect has been evidenced. In this context, saliva has been chosen to investigate new possible biomarkers using a proteomics-based approach. Previous results obtained on the acid-soluble fraction of saliva from AD patients by a Top-Down proteomic approach revealed the potential role of cystatin B in the disease, a protein capable of interacting with other proteins, including amyloid beta, and to homo-polymerize. Thus, the first aim of the present project has been to demonstrate the existence of a multiprotein complex with cystatin B in whole saliva samples and to characterize it, secondly, we further studied the cystatin B interactome to individuate any qualitative-quantitative difference between AD patients and healthy subjects age and sex matched. To these aims, we performed some preliminary tests mainly by western blot to look for high molecular weight positive signals related to cystatin B in saliva, and, then, in order to characterize the presence of potential multiprotein complexes, we performed Co-IP assays followed by in gel tryptic digestion and RP-nanoHPLC-HR-ESI-MS/MS analysis (reverse-phase nano-high-performance liquid chromatography separation coupled to electrospray-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry).

Chip-chip from Mouse E10.5 anterior and posterior immortalised limb cell lines and limb tissue for H3K27me3 antibody and from Mouse E10.5 anterior and posterior limb tissue for Ring1B antibody.

Project description:Anterior-posterior differences in H3K27me3 and Ring1B enrichment over the 5 prime Hoxd genes in E10.5 murine distal forelimbs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of H3K27me3 together with Ring1B and by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that over the 5 prime HoxD locus H3K27me3 enrichment is decreased and Ring1B enrichment is sparse in limb cells derived from the distal posterior forelimb bud of E10.5 mouse embryos. Array design includes 2 biological replicates for H3K27me3 in the cell lines and Ring1B in the limb tissue, and 2 biological replicates and 2 dye swap replicates for H3K27me3 in the limb tissue.
