The chromatin remodeling enzyme Chd4 regulates genome architecture in the mouse brain

ABSTRACT: The development and function of the brain require tight control of gene expression. Genome architecture is thought to play a critical regulatory role in gene expression, but the mechanisms governing genome architecture in the brain in vivo remain poorly understood. Here, we report that conditional knockout of the chromatin remodeling enzyme Chd4 in granule neurons of the mouse cerebellum increases accessibility of gene regulatory sites genome-wide in vivo. Conditional knockout of Chd4 promotes recruitment of the architectural protein complex cohesin preferentially to gene enhancers in granule neurons in vivo. Importantly, in vivo profiling of genome architecture reveals that conditional knockout of Chd4 strengthens interactions among developmentally repressed contact domains as well as genomic loops in a manner that tightly correlates with increased accessibility, enhancer activity, and cohesin occupancy at these sites. Collectively, our findings define a role for chromatin remodeling in the control of genome architecture organization in the mammalian brain.

Chromatin Remodeling Inactivates Activity Genes and Regulates Neural Coding

Project description:Activity-dependent transcription influences neuronal connectivity, but the roles and mechanisms of inactivation of activity-dependent genes have remained poorly understood. Genome-wide analyses in the mouse cerebellum revealed that the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex deposits the histone variant H2A.z at promoters of activity-dependent genes, thereby triggering their inactivation. Purification of translating mRNAs from synchronously developing granule neurons (Sync-TRAP) showed that conditional knockout of the core NuRD subunit Chd4 impairs inactivation of activity-dependent genes when neurons undergo dendrite pruning. Chd4 knockout or expression of NuRD-regulated activity genes impairs dendrite pruning. Imaging of behaving mice revealed hyperresponsivity of granule neurons to sensorimotor stimuli upon Chd4 knockout. Our findings define an epigenetic mechanism that inactivates activity-dependent transcription and regulates dendrite patterning and sensorimotor encoding in the brain. One or two replicates of the histone modifications (H3K27me3 and H2A.z), total histone proteins (H2A.z and H3), and ATPase Chd4 using postnatal day 22 cerebella from wild type (WT) or Chd4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were examined using libraries prepared with the Illumina ChIP-Seq DNA Sample Prep Kit. Four replicates of total RNA were extracted from postnatal day 27-28 cerebella from rotarod-trained or control homecage mice, or Chd4 cKO or WT mice using Trizol and reverse-transcribed with oligo-dT priming. Three replicates of immunoprecipitated Sync-TRAP RNA or the input control using postnatal day 12 Chd4 cKO or WT cerebella were purified and amplified with Ovation RNA-Seq System V2 (NuGEN). All samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Promoter Decommissioning by the NuRD Chromatin Remodeling Complex Triggers Synaptic Connectivity in the Mammalian Brain

Project description:Precise control of gene expression plays fundamental roles in brain development, but the roles of chromatin regulators in neuronal connectivity have remained poorly understood. Here, we find that depletion of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylation (NuRD) complex in the cerebellar cortex by in vivo RNAi in rats and conditional knockout of the core NuRD subunit Chd4 in mice profoundly impairs the establishment of granule neuron parallel fiber/Purkinje cell synapses. In RNA-Seq analyses of Chd4 conditional knockout mice, we identify a set of nearly 200 genes that are repressed by the NuRD complex in the cerebellum in vivo. Genome-wide ChIP-Seq analyses reveal that the NuRD complex selectively decommissions the promoters of NuRD-repressed genes in the cerebellum in vivo by inducing the deacetylation of histone H3K9/14 and H3K27 and demethylation of H3K4 at these genes. Importantly, temporal control of promoter decommissioning and repression of NuRD target genes upon maturation of the cerebellum requires the NuRD complex. Finally, in a targeted in vivo RNAi screen of NuRD-repressed target genes, we identify the transcription factor Nhlh1, the RNA-binding protein Elavl2, and the presynaptic regulator Cplx3 as negative regulators of presynaptic differentiation in the cerebellar cortex. Together, these findings define NuRD-dependent promoter decommissioning as a developmentally regulated programming mechanism that releases the brake on presynaptic differentiation and thereby drives synaptic connectivity in the mammalian brain. Three distinct histone modifications using postnatal day 6 or day 22 cerebella from wild type (WT) or Chd4 conditional knockout (cKO) mice were examined in duplicate using libraries prepared with the Illumina ChIP-Seq DNA Sample Prep Kit and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Sensory experience remodels genome architecture in neural circuit to drive motor learning

Project description:Neuronal activity-dependent transcription couples sensory experience to adaptive responses of the brain including learning and memory. Mechanisms of activity-dependent gene expression including alterations of the epigenome have been characterized. However, the fundamental question of whether and how sensory experience remodels chromatin architecture in the adult brain in vivo to induce neural code transformations and learning and memory remains to be addressed. Here, in vivo calcium imaging, optogenetics, and pharmacological approaches reveal that granule neuron activation in the anterior dorsal cerebellar vermis (ADCV) plays a crucial role in a novel delay tactile startle learning paradigm in mice. Strikingly, using large-scale transcriptome and chromatin profiling, we have discovered that activation of the motor learning-linked granule neuron circuit reorganizes neuronal chromatin including through long-distance enhancer-promoter and transcriptionally active compartment interactions to orchestrate distinct granule neuron gene expression modules. Conditional CRISPR knockout of the chromatin architecture regulator Cohesin in ADCV granule neurons in adult mice disrupts activity-dependent transcription and motor learning. These findings define how sensory experience patterns chromatin architecture and neural circuit coding in the brain to drive motor learning.

Epigenomic Activation of Enhancers in Granule Cell Precursors by CHARGE Syndrome Protein CHD7 Regulates Gyrification of the Mammalian Cerebellum

Project description:Regulation of chromatin plays fundamental roles in the normal development of the brain. Haploinsufficiency of the chromatin remodeling enzyme CHD7 causes CHARGE syndrome, a genetic disorder that prominently affects the development of the cerebellum. However, how CHD7 controls chromatin states in the cerebellum remains incompletely understood. Using conditional knockout of CHD7 in granule cell precursors in the mouse cerebellum, we find that CHD7 robustly promotes the accessibility and activity of enhancers in granule cell precursors. Remarkably, in vivo profiling of genome architecture reveals that CHD7 operates locally to stimulate enhancer activation, thereby driving the expression of topologically-interacting genes. Genome and gene ontology studies show that CHD7-regulated enhancers are associated prominently with genes that control brain tissue morphogenesis. Accordingly, conditional knockout of CHD7 triggers a striking phenotype of cerebellar polymicrogyria, which we have also found in a case of CHARGE syndrome. Finally, we uncover a CHD7-dependent switch in the preferred orientation of granule cell precursor division in the developing cerebellum, providing a cellular basis for the cerebellar polymicrogyria phenotype upon loss of CHD7. Collectively, our findings define CHD7 function in the regulation of the epigenome in granule cell precursors and identify a surprising link of CHD7 to the control of cerebellar cortical morphogenesis, with potential implications for our understanding of CHARGE syndrome.

Chromatin remodeler CHD4 establishes chromatin states required for ovarian reserve formation, maintenance, and germ cell survival [ATAC-seq]

Project description:To understand the functional role of CHD4, a member of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex, in establishing chromatin states in the formation and maintenance of ovarian reserve and the maintenance of female and male germ cells, we eliminated CHD4 function in germ cells using Ddx4-Cre and Gdf9-iCre to generate CHD4 conditional knockout (Chd4 DcKO and GcKO) mice. We discover that CHD4 defines the chromatin state that ensures germ cell survival, thereby enabling the long-term maintenance of female and male germ cells. We then performed ATAC-seq in Chd4 Dctrl and Chd4 DcKO non-growing oocytes and undifferentiated spermatogonia.
