Early chromatin shaping predetermines multipotent vagal neural crest into neural, neuronal and mesenchymal lineages [scRNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: The enteric nervous system (ENS) predominantly originates from vagal neural crest cells (VNC) that emerge from the caudal hindbrain, invade the foregut and populate the gastrointestinal tract. However, the gene regulatory network (GRN) orchestrating the early specification of VNC remains unknown. Using an EdnrB enhancer, we generated a comprehensive temporal map of the chromatin and transcriptional landscape of VNC in the avian model, revealing three VNC cell clusters (neural, neurogenic and mesenchymal), each predetermined epigenetically prior to neural tube delamination. We identify and functionally validate regulatory cores (Sox10/Tfap2B/SoxB/Hbox) mediating each programme and elucidate their combinatorial activities with other spatiotemporally-specific transcription factors (bHLH/NR). Our global deconstruction of the VNC-GRN in vivo sheds light on critical early regulatory mechanisms that may influence the divergent neural phenotypes in enteric neuropathies.

Early shaping of the chromatin landscape specifies vagal neural crest into distinct lineages [RNA-seq]

Project description:Complex traits in enteropathies like Hirschsprung disease underscores a larger gene regulatory network (GRN) driving vagal neural crest (VNC) to form the enteric nervous system (ENS). To dissect the GRN and understand the function of non-coding regulatory regions, we used a novel highly conserved EdnrB E2 enhancer with a FoxD3 NC2 enhancer to generate a comprehensive map of VNC chromatin and transcriptional landscape during ENS development. Together with single-cell transcriptional profiles, we revealed three distinct lineages of VNC (glial, neuronal, and mesenchymal) that are each pre-specified by independent GRNs before delamination. We identified and functionally validated regulatory cores mediating the glial (Tfap2B and Sox10) and neuronal programmes (Sox3/Msx1) that in spatiotemporal combinations with other families of transcription factors, control the timing of enteric cell differentiation. Deconstructing the VNC-GRN identifies factors that pre-specifies cells to their presumptive fate and sheds light on how early GRN dysregulations influence the divergent neural phenotype in enteropathies.

Reconstruction of the global neural crest gene regulatory network in vivo

Project description:Precise control of developmental processes is encoded in the genome in the form of gene regulatory networks (GRNs). Such multi-factorial systems are difficult to decode in vertebrates owing to their complex gene hierarchies and transient dynamic molecular interactions. Here we present a genome-wide in vivo reconstruction of the GRN underlying development of neural crest (NC), an emblematic embryonic multipotent cell population. By coupling NC-specific epigenomic and single-cell transcriptome profiling with genome/epigenome engineering in vivo, we identify multiple regulatory layers governing NC ontogeny, including NC-specific enhancers and super-enhancers, novel trans-factors and cis-signatures. Assembling the NC regulome has allowed the comprehensive reverse engineering of the NC-GRN at unprecedented resolution. Furthermore, identification and dissection of divergent upstream combinatorial regulatory codes has afforded new insights into opposing gene circuits t hat define canonical and neural NC fates. Our integrated approach, allowing dissection of cell-type-specific regulatory circuits in vivo, has broad implications for GRN discovery and investigation.

ARID1A-BAF coordinates ZIC2 genomic occupancy for epithelial to mesenchymal transition in cranial neural crest lineage commitment.

Project description:The BAF chromatin remodeler regulates lineage commitment including cranial neural crest cell (CNCC) specification. BAF subunit mutations cause Coffin-Siris Syndrome (CSS), a congenital disorder characterized by distinct craniofacial features and intellectual disability. Approximately 50% of CSS patients carry mutations in one of the mutually exclusive BAF subunits, ARID1A/ARID1B. While Arid1a deletion in mouse neural crest causes severe craniofacial phenotypes, little is known about the role of ARID1A in CNCC specification. Using CSS patient-derived ARID1A+/- iPSCs to model CNCC specification, we discovered that ARID1A-haploinsufficency impairs epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process necessary for CNCC delamination and migration from the neural tube. Furthermore, wild-type ARID1A-BAF regulates enhancers associated with EMT genes. ARID1A-BAF binding at these enhancers is impaired in heterozygotes, while binding at promoters is unaffected. At the sequence level, these EMT enhancers contain binding motifs for ZIC2, and ZIC2 binding at these sites is ARID1A-dependent. When excluded from EMT enhancers, ZIC2 relocates to neuronal enhancers, triggering aberrant neuronal gene activation. In mice, deletion of Zic2 impairs NCC delamination, while ZIC2 overexpression in chick embryos at pre-migratory neural crest stages elicits abnormal cell delamination from the neural tube. These findings reveal a novel ARID1A-ZIC2 axis essential for EMT and CNCC delamination.
