Project description:While genome sequencing has identified numerous non-coding alterations between primate species, which of these are regulatory and potentially relevant to the evolution of the human brain is unclear. Here, we annotate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in the human, rhesus macaque and chimpanzee genome using ChIP-sequencing in different anatomical parts of the adult brain. We find high similarity in the genomic positioning of CREs between rhesus macaque and humans, suggesting that the majority of these elements were already present in a common ancestor 25 million years ago. Most of the observed regulatory changes between humans and rhesus macaque occurred prior to the ancestral separation of humans and chimpanzee, leaving a modest set of regulatory elements with predicted human-specificity. Our data refine previous predictions and hypotheses on the consequences of genomic changes between primate species, and allow the identification of regulatory alterations relevant to the evolution of the brain. ChIP-Sequencing for H3K27ac on 8 distinct brain regions from human (three biological replicates per brain region), chimpanzee (two biological replicates per brain region) and rhesus macaque (three biological replicates per brain region).

Project description:We performed bulk RNA sequencing of several subpopulations of adipose tissue stromal cells to better understand the function of preadipocyte subpopulation (P1 and P2) in mouse inguinal adipose tissue. P1 and P2 cells isolated from inguinal adipose tissue from male and female C57/B6 mice, collected by FACS. P1 cells are CD31-CD45-TER119-SCA1+CD55+VAP1-CD142- cell population, and P2 cells are CD31-CD45-TER119-SCA1+CD55-VAP1+CD142- cell population. 50,000 cells were collected for each populations.

Project description:Among primates, humans display a unique trajectory of development responsible for the many traits specific to our species. However, the inaccessibility of human and chimpanzee primary tissues has limited our ability to study human evolution. Comparative in vitro approaches using primate-derived induced pluripotent stem cells have begun to reveal species differences on the cellular and molecular levels. In particular, brain organoids have emerged as a promising platform to study primate neural development in vitro, although cross-species comparisons of organoids are complicated by differences in developmental timing and variability of differentiation. Here, we developed a new platform to address these limitations. We first generated a panel of tetraploid hybrid stem cells by fusing human and chimpanzee induced pluripotent stem cells. We next applied this approach to study species divergence in cerebral cortical development by differentiating them into neural organoids. We found that hybrid organoids provide a controlled system for disentangling cis- and trans-acting gene expression divergence across cell types and developmental stages, revealing a signature of selection on astrocyte-related genes. In addition, we identified an up-regulation of human somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2), which regulates neuronal calcium signaling and is associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. We discovered a human-specific response to modulation of SSTR2 function in cortical neurons, underscoring the potential of this unique platform to reveal the molecular basis of human evolution.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are regarded as a central tool to understand human biology in health and disease. Similarly, iPSCs from closely related species should be a central tool to understand human evolution and to identify conserved and variable patterns of iPSC disease models. Here, we have generated human, gorilla, bonobo and cynomolgus monkey iPSCs. We show that these cells are well comparable in their differentiation potential and generally similar to human, cynomolgus and rhesus monkey embryonic stem cells (ESCs). RNA sequencing reveals that expression differences among clones, individuals and stem cell type are all of very similar magnitude within a species. In contrast, expression differences between closely related primate species are three times larger and most genes show significant expression differences among the analysed species. However, pseudogenes differ more than twice as much, suggesting that evolution of expression levels in primate stem cells is rapid, but constrained. These patterns in pluripotent stem cells are comparable to those found in other tissues except testis. Hence, primate iPSCs reveal insights into general primate gene expression evolution and should provide a rich source to identify conserved and species-specific gene expression patterns for cellular phenotypes.

We generated tagged RNA-Seq libraries from these 19 samples including four technical replicates (23 samples). Over 100 million single end reads were generated on the Illumina platform.

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) hold promise for generating personalized xenogenic organs via development of cross-species chimeric animals. However, whether human and other primate iPSCs are capable of establishing cross-species chimeras remains unknown. Recognizing the ethical concerns of cross-species chimerism using human iPSCs, we explored the capacity for cross-species chimerism between distinct, non-human primates. Injection of either pig-tailed macaque iPSCs or chimpanzee iPSCs into the rhesus macaque blastocyst embryos demonstrated that these cells survive, proliferate, and integrate near the rhesus inner cell mass (ICM). Ectopic expression of BCL2 in pig-tailed and chimpanzee iPSCs greatly improved the success rate of establishing cross-species blastocyst chimerism. This study represents the first successful cross-species blastocyst chimerism between distinct, non-human primate species, and highlights critical factors that may be necessary to unlock the broad potential of primate iPSCs to form cross-species chimeras, with diverse applications for basic research and translational medicine.

Project description:Many endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) in the human genome are primate-specific and contribute novel cis-regulatory elements and transcripts. Classification and annotation of ERVs, which are flanked by long terminal repeats (LTRs) containing sequences that control their transcriptional activity, is important to better understand their evolution and potential roles in the host. Here, we observed that many of the currently annotated LTR subfamilies spreading in the primate lineage have subsets of instances that appear to be misclassified. Focusing on the evolutionary young MER11A/B/C subfamilies, we performed a phylogenetic analysis and relied on cross-species conservation to reveal the presence of 4 phyletic groups, suggesting a new annotation for 412 (19.8%) of the MER11 instances. Next, we showed that the epigenetic heterogeneity observed within the MER11A/B/C subfamilies was better explained in the context of these new phyletic groups. Using a massively parallel reporter assay (MPRA), we also demonstrated the regulatory potential of the four phyletic groups and identified motifs that were associated with their differential activities. The MPRA combined with the use of phyletic groups across primates revealed an apes-specific gain of SOX related motifs through a single-nucleotide deletion. Finally, we applied a similar approach across all 53 simian-specific LTR subfamilies and determined the presence of 75 phyletic groups. We found that 3,807 (30.0%) instances from 26 of these LTR subfamilies changed annotation and could be characterized into one of these novel phyletic groups, many of which with a distinct epigenetic profile. This refined annotation of simian-specific LTRs could improve our understanding of the evolution of ERVs in primate genomes and reveal functional signals that would have been missed otherwise.
