Lineage-specific reorganization of nuclear peripheral heterochromatin and H3K9me2 domains

ABSTRACT: Dynamic and regulated organization of chromatin within the 3-dimensional space of the nucleus has been postulated to contribute to gene accessibility, gene expression, and cell fate. Here we define the genome-wide lineage-specific reorganization of nuclear peripheral heterochromatin as a multipotent P19 embryocarcinoma cell adopts either a neural or a cardiac fate. We demonstrate that H3K9me2 marked nuclear peripheral heterochromatin undergoes lineage-specific local reorganization during cell fate determination. Lineage-specific loss of H3K9me2 is associated with spatial repositioning of genomic loci away from the nuclear periphery as shown by high-resolution 3D immuno-fluorescence in situ hybridization (3D immuno-FISH). The lineage-specific repositioning of loci away from the nuclear periphery is not always associated with activation of gene expression, but a subset of these genes is transcriptionally activated. Master regulator Mef2c is specifically repositioned from nuclear periphery during early neurogenic differentiation, but not early cardiogenic differentiation, with associated transcript upregulation. Master regulator Myocd is specifically repositioned during early cardiogenic differentiation, but not early neurogenic differentiation, and is transcriptionally upregulated at later stages of cardiac differentiation. These results provide experimental evidence for lineage-specific regulation of nuclear architecture when the same multipotent progenitor cell adopts distinct fates.

Genome-Wide Dynamics of Replication Timing Revealed by In Vitro Models of Mouse Embryogenesis (Expression)

Project description:Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) is accompanied by changes in replication timing. To explore the relationship between replication timing and cell fate transitions, we constructed genome-wide replication-timing profiles of 22 independent mouse cell lines representing 10 stages of early mouse development, and transcription profiles for seven of these stages. Replication profiles were cell-type specific, with 45% of the genome exhibiting significant changes at some point during development that were generally coordinated with changes in transcription. Comparison of early and late epiblast cell culture models revealed a set of lineage-independent early-to-late replication switches completed at a stage equivalent to the post-implantation epiblast, prior to germ layer specification and down-regulation of key pluripotency transcription factors (Oct4/Nanog/Sox2) and coinciding with the emergence of compact chromatin near the nuclear periphery. These changes were conserved in all subsequent lineages and involved a group of irreversibly down-regulated genes, at least some of which were repositioned closer to the nuclear periphery. Importantly, many genomic regions of partially reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) failed to re-establish ESC-specific replication timing and transcription programs. These regions were enriched for lineage-independent early-to-late changes, which in female cells included the inactive X-chromosome. Taken together, we demonstrate that replication-timing changes are extensive during development. Moreover, a distinct set of lineage-independent, early-to-late changes completed in and stably maintained after the post-implantation epiblast stage is difficult to reprogram and therefore coincides with an epigenetic commitment to differentiation prior to germ layer specification. 8 cell lines, with a total of 14 individual replicates (i.e. 6 in duplicates, 2 in single replicates)

Characterisation of nuclear architectural alterations during in vitro differentiation of human stem cells of myogenic origin

Project description:Cell differentiation is based on a synchronised orchestra of complex pathways of intrinsic and extrinsic signals that manifest in the induced expression of specific transcription factors and pivotal genes within the nucleus. One cannot ignore the epigenetic status of differentiating cells, comprising not only histones and DNA modifications but also the spatial and temporal intranuclear chromatin organisation, which is an important regulator of nuclear processes. In the present study, we investigated the nuclear architecture of human primary myoblasts and myocytes in an in vitro culture, with reference to global changes in genomic expression. Repositioning of the chromosomal centromeres, along with alterations in the nuclear shape and volume, was observed as a consequence of myotube formation. Moreover, the microarray data showed that during in vitro myogenesis cells tend to silence rather than induce gene expression. The creation of a chromosome map marked with gene expression changes that were at least 2-fold confirmed the observation. Additionally, almost all of the chromosomal centromeres in the differentiated cells preferentially localised near the nuclear periphery when compared to the undifferentiated cells. The exceptions were chromosomes 7 and 11, in which we were unable to confirm the centromere repositioning. In our opinion, this is the first reported observation of the movement of chromosomal centromeres along differentiating myogenic cells. Based on these data we can conclude that the myogenic differentiation with global gene expression changes is accompanied by the spatial repositioning of chromosomes and chromatin remodelling, which are important processes that regulate cell differentiation. Six samples from human skeletal muscle stem cells populations before and after differentiation were analysed

Cause and consequence of tethering a sub-TAD to different nuclear compartments

Project description:Detailed genomic contact maps have revealed that chromosomes are composed of developmentally stable topologically associated domains (TADs) and more flexible sub-TADs. These domains reside in active and inactive nuclear compartments, but cause and consequence of compartmentalization are largely unknown. Here, we combined lacO/lacR binding platforms with allele-specific 4C technologies to track their precise position in the three-dimensional genome upon recruitment of NANOG, SUV39H1 or EZH2. We observed locked genomic loci resistant to spatial repositioning and unlocked loci that could be repositioned to different nuclear sub-compartments with distinct chromatin signatures. Focal protein recruitment caused the entire sub- TAD, but not surrounding regions, to engage in new genomic contacts. Compartment switching was uncoupled from gene expression changes and enzymatically modifying histones per se was insufficient for repositioning. Collectively this suggests that transassociated factors determine three-dimensional compartmentalization independent of their cis-effect on local chromatin composition and activity. 4C-seq was performed on a range of viewpoints in 129/Sv;C57BL/6 embryonic stem cells carying a lacO array in chromosome 8 and 11.

Effect of overexpession of Stonewall (Stwl) on gene expression in germline stem cell (GSC)-like cells compared to the control

Project description:The association of genomic loci to the nuclear periphery is proposed to facilitate cell type-specific gene repression and influence cell fate decisions. However, the interplay between gene position and expression remains incompletely understood, in part because the proteins that position genomic loci at the nuclear periphery remain unidentified. Here, we used an Oligopaint-based HiDRO screen targeting ∼1000 genes to discover novel regulators of nuclear architecture in Drosophila cells.We identified the heterochromatin-associated protein Stonewall (Stwl) as a factor promoting perinuclear chromatin positioning. In female germline stem cells (GSCs), Stwl binds and positions chromatin loci, including GSC differentiation genes, at the nuclear periphery. Strikingly, Stwl-dependent perinuclear positioning is associated with transcriptional repression, highlighting a likely mechanism for Stwl’s known role in GSC maintenance and ovary homeostasis. Thus, our study identifies perinuclear anchors in Drosophila and demonstrates the importance of gene repression at the nuclear periphery for cell fate.

Local euchromatin enrichment in lamina-associated domains anticipates their re-positioning in the adipogenic lineage

Project description:Interactions of chromatin with the nuclear lamina via lamina-associated domains (LADs) confers structural stability to the genome. The dynamics of positioning of LADs during differentiation, and how LADs impinge on developmental gene expression, remains elusive, however. We examined changes in the association of lamin B1 with the genome in the first 72 hours of differentiation of adipose stem cells into adipocytes. We demonstrate a repositioning of entire stand-alone LADs and of LAD edges as a prominent nuclear structural feature of early adipogenesis. Whereas adipogenic genes are released from LADs, LADs sequester downregulated or repressed genes irrelevant for the adipose lineage. However, LAD repositioning only partly concurs with gene expression changes. Differentially expressed genes in LADs, including LADs conserved throughout differentiation, reside in local euchromatic and lamin-depleted sub-domains. In these sub-domains, pre-differentiation histone modification profiles correlate with the LAD versus inter-LAD outcome of these genes during adipogenic commitment. In addition, differentially expressed genes in LADs are linked to short-range enhancers which overall co-partition with these genes in LADs versus inter-LADs during differentiation. We conclude that LADs are predictable structural features of adipose nuclear architecture that restrain non-adipogenic genes in a repressive environment.

Replication Timing Reveal An Epigenetic Commitment To Differentiation Prior To Germ Layer Specification (WG_CGH, RT)

Project description:Differentiation of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) is accompanied by global changes in replication timing. To elucidate this reorganization process and explore its potential impact on mouse development, we constructed genome-wide replication-timing profiles of 15 independent mouse cell types representing nine different stages of early mouse development, including all three germ layers. Overall, 45% of the genome exhibits significant changes in replication timing between cell types, indicating that replication-timing regulation is more extensive than previously estimated from neural differentiation. Intriguingly, analysis of early and late epiblast cell culture models suggest that the earliest changes in development include extensive lineage-independent early-to-late replication switches that are completed at a stage equivalent to the post-implantation epiblast, prior to germ layer specification and down-regulation of key pluripotency transcription factors (Oct4/Nanog/Sox2). These changes were stable in all subsequent lineages and involved a class of irreversibly silenced genes that were re-positioned closer to the nuclear periphery. Lineage-specific, late-to-early and early-to-late replication switches followed, which created cell-type specific replication profiles. Importantly, partially reprogrammed induced pluripotent stem cells (piPSCs) failed to restore ESC-specific replication timing and transcription programs particularly within regions of lineage-independent early-to-late replication changes, as well as the inactive X-chromosome. We conclude that lineage-independent, early-to-late replication-timing switches that occur in the post-implantation epiblast embody an epigenetic commitment to differentiation prior to germ layer specification. 22 cell lines, with a total of 36 individual replicates (i.e. 14 in duplicates, 8 in single replicates)

REST knock-out ESCs: a role for REST in embryonic stem cells' cardiac lineage specification

Project description:During development, lineage specification is controlled by several signaling pathways involving various transcription factors (TFs). Here, we studied the RE1-silencing transcription factor (REST) and identified an important role of this TF in cardiac differentiation. Using mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) to model development, we analyzed the effect of REST knock-out on the ability to these cells to differentiate into the cardiac lineage. Detailed analysis of specific lineage markers expression showed selective down-regulation of endoderm markers in REST-null cells, thus contributing to a loss of cardiogenic signals. We propose here a new role for REST in cell fate specification besides its well-known repressive role of neuronal differentiation.
