Single-Cell Chromatin Accessibility Maps Reveal the Regulatory Programs Driving Early Mouse Organogenesis

ABSTRACT: During early mouse embryonic development, pluripotent cells rapidly divide and diversify to construct the developing foetus, yet the underlying regulatory programs that define the cell repertoire for each organ remain ill-defined. To delineate comprehensive chromatin landscapes of mammalian lineages during early organogenesis, we mapped chromatin accessibility in 19,453 single nuclei from mouse embryos collected at 8.25 days post-fertilisation. Identification of cell type-specific regions of open chromatin pinpointed known regulatory regions and two new TAL1-bound endothelial enhancers, which we validated using transgenic mouse assays. Integrated gene expression and transcription factor motif enrichment analyses highlighted known and previously unrecognised cell type-specific transcriptional regulators. Subsequent in vivo experiments in zebrafish revealed a powerful role for the ETS transcription factor FEV in endothelial identity. Concerted in vivo validation experiments in mouse and zebrafish thus illustrate how single-cell open chromatin maps, representative of a mammalian embryo, provide access to the regulatory blueprint for mammalian organogenesis.

A single-cell atlas of chromatin accessibility in mouse organogenesis

Project description:Recent surveys of mouse organogenesis cell atlas (MOCA) with single cell transcriptomics have uncovered hundreds of cell types, but the cell-type-specific transcriptional regulatory programs responsible for the unique identity and function of each cell type have yet to be elucidated. We applied a four-level combinatorial indexing assay, SPATAC-seq, to profile the chromatin accessibility in >350,000 cells derived from 13 embryos staged between embryonic day (E) 10.5 and 13.5 in a single experiment. The resulting map revealed the status of open chromatin for 844,817 candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in 33 main cell types and 296 subtypes. By integrating this accessible chromatin atlas with scRNA data of MOCA, we characterized the gene regulatory sequences and transcription factors associated with cell fate commitment, such as unreported role of Nr5a2 and Gata6 in gastrointestinal tract. Finaly, we integrated this atlas with previous scATAC-seq data from mouse embryos at E8.25 and 13 adult mouse tissues to dissect life stage specific gene regulatory programs across different cell types. This rich resource and comprerhensive analysis provide a foundation for expolring gene regulators in mammalian cell differentiation.

The landscape of accessible chromatin in mammalian pre-implantation embryos (RNA-Seq)

Project description:In mammals, extensive chromatin reorganization is essential for reprogramming terminally committed gametes to a totipotent state during preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its dynamics in this period remain unexplored. Here we report a genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in mouse preimplantation embryos using an improved assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) approach with CRISPR/Cas9-assisted mitochondrial DNA depletion. We show that despite extensive parental asymmetry in DNA methylomes, the chromatin accessibility between the parental genomes is globally comparable after major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Accessible chromatin in early embryos is widely shaped by transposable elements and overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Unexpectedly, accessible chromatin is also found near the transcription end sites of active genes. By integrating the maps of cis-regulatory elements and single-cell transcriptomes, we construct the regulatory network of early development, which helps to identify the key modulators for lineage specification. Finally, we find that the activities of cis-regulatory elements and their associated open chromatin diminished before major ZGA. Surprisingly, we observed many loci showing non-canonical, large open chromatin domains over the entire transcribed units in minor ZGA, supporting the presence of an unusually permissive chromatin state. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal chromatin configuration that accompanies early mammalian development. Mouse preimplantation embryos were obtained from crosses of C57BL/6N and DBA/2N. RNA-seq was performed in these embryos at various stages in preimplantation development.

Comparative analyses of super-enhancers reveal conserved elements in vertebrate genomes

Project description:Super-enhancers (SEs) are key transcriptional drivers of cellular, developmental and disease states in mammals, yet the conservational and regulatory features of these enhancer elements in non-mammalian vertebrates are unknown. To define SEs in zebrafish and enable sequence and functional comparisons to mouse and human SEs, we used genome-wide histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) occupancy as a primary SE delineator. Our study determined the set of SEs in pluripotent state cells and adult zebrafish tissues and revealed both similarities and differences between zebrafish and mammalian SEs. Although the total number of SEs was proportional to the genome size, the genomic distribution of zebrafish SEs differed from that of the mammalian SEs. Despite the evolutionary distance separating zebrafish and mammals and the low overall SE sequence conservation, ~42% of zebrafish SEs from all cells and tissues analyzed were associated with orthologs that also were associated with SEs in mouse and human. Compared to their non-associated counterparts, higher sequence conservation was revealed for those SEs that have maintained orthologous vertebrate gene associations. Functional dissection of two of these SEs identified conserved sequence elements and tissue-specific expression patterns, while chromatin accessibility analyses predicted transcription factors governing the function of pluripotent state zebrafish SEs. Our zebrafish enhancer characterizations and comparative studies show the extent of SE usage and their conservation across vertebrates, permitting future gene regulatory studies in several tissues.

Distinct epicardial gene regulatory programmes drive development and regeneration of the zebrafish heart

Project description:Unlike the adult mammalian heart, which has limited regenerative capacity, the zebrafish heart can fully regenerate following injury. Reactivation of cardiac developmental programmes is considered key to successfully regenerating the heart, yet the regulatory elements underlying the response triggered upon injury and during development remain elusive. Organ-wide activation of the epicardium is essential for zebrafish heart regeneration and is considered a potential regenerative source to target in the mammalian heart. Here we compared the transcriptome and epigenome of the developing and regenerating zebrafish epicardium by integrating gene expression profiles with open chromatin ATAC-seq data. We identified epicardial enhancer elements with specific activity during development or during adult heart regeneration. By generating gene regulatory networks associated with epicardial development and regeneration, we inferred genetic programmes driving each of these processes, which were largely distinct. We identified Wt1a, Wt1b, and the AP-1 subunits Junbb, Fosab and Fosb as central regulators of the developing network, whereas Hif1ab, Nrf1, Tbx2b and Zbtb7a featured as putative central regulators of the regenerating epicardial network. Targeting hif1ab, nrf1, tbx2b and zbtb7a using CRISPR/Cas9 in injured hearts resulted in elevated epicardial cell numbers infiltrating the wound and excess fibrosis after cryoinjury, illustrating the functional importance of these regulatory factors during zebrafish heart regeneration. Our work reveals striking differences between the regulatory blueprint deployed during epicardial development and regeneration. These findings underline that heart regeneration goes beyond the reactivation of developmental programmes and provide important insights into epicardial regulation.

Foxc1 establishes enhancer accessibility for craniofacial cartilage differentiation

Project description:The specification of cartilage requires Sox9, a transcription factor with broad roles for organogenesis outside the skeletal system. How Sox9 gains selective access to cartilage-specific cis-regulatory regions during skeletal development had remained unclear. By analyzing chromatin accessibility during the differentiation of neural crest cells into chondrocytes of the zebrafish head, we find that cartilage-associated chromatin accessibility is dynamically established. Cartilage-associated regions that become accessible after neural crest migration are co-enriched for Sox9 and Fox transcription factor binding motifs. In zebrafish lacking Foxc1 paralogs, we find a global decrease in chromatin accessibility in chondrocytes, consistent with a later loss of dorsal facial cartilages. Zebrafish transgenesis assays confirm that many of these Foxc1-dependent elements function as enhancers with region- and stage-specific activity in facial cartilages. We propose that Foxc1-dependent chromatin accessibility helps directs the versatile Sox9 protein to a chondrogenic program in the face.
