3D chromatin organization changes modulate adipogenesis and osteogenesis [Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) can be differentiated into adipocytes and osteoblasts. While the transcriptomic and epigenomic changes during adipogenesis and osteogenesis have been characterized, what happens to the chromatin loops is hardly known. Here we induced hMSCs to adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation, and performed 2 kb resolution Hi-C experiments for loop detection and generated RNA-seq, histone modification ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data for integrative analysis before and after differentiation. We quantitatively identified differential contact loops and unique loops. After integrating with multi-omics data, we demonstrate that strengthened loops after differentiation are associated with gene expression activation. Specially, unique loops are linked with cell fate determination. We also proposed loop-mediated regulatory networks and identified IRS2 and RUNX2 as being activated by cell-specific loops to facilitate adipocytes and osteoblasts commitment, respectively. These results are expected to help better understand the long-range regulation in controlling hMSC differentiation, and provide novel targets for studying adipocytes and osteoblasts determination.

Project description:Gene Expression analysis of a differentiation timeseries of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) in the presence of adipogenic/osteogenic factors. hMSCs differentiate into fat cells when treated with dexamethasone (10^-6 M), insulin (10 ug/ml), rosiglitazone (10^-7 M) and IBMX (250 uM). TGFbeta (5 ng/ml) inhibits this process and redirects these cells to differentiate into bone cells. Introduction: Patients suffering from osteoporosis show an increased number of adipocytes in their bone marrow, concomitant with a reduction in the pool of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) that are able to differentiate into osteoblasts, thus leading to suppressed osteogenesis. Methods: In order be able to interfere with this process, we have investigated in vitro culture conditions whereby adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs is impaired and osteogenic differentiation is promoted. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. Results: Our data show that BMP2 promotes both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs, while TGFÎ² inhibits differentiation into both lineages. However, when cells are cultured under adipogenic differentiation conditions, which contains cAMP-enhancing agents such as IBMX of PGE2, TGFÎ² promotes osteogenic differentiation, while at the same time inhibiting adipogenic differentiation. Gene expression and immunoblot analysis indicated that cAMP-induced suppression of HDAC5 levels plays an important role in the inhibitory effect of TGFÎ² on osteogenic differentiation. By means of gene expression microarray analysis, we have investigated genes which are downregulated by TGFÎ² under adipogenic differentiation conditions and may therefore be potential targets for prevention of fat cell differentiation. We thus identified 9 genes for which FDA-approved drugs are available. Our results show that drugs directed against the nuclear hormone receptor PPARG, the metalloproteinase ADAMTS5 and the aldo-keto reductase AKR1B10 inhibit adipogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, although in contrast to TGFÎ² they do not appear to promote osteogenic differentiation. Conclusions: The approach chosen in this study has resulted in the identification of new targets for inhibition of fat cell differentiation, which may not only be relevant for prevention of osteoporosis, but also of obesity. hMSCs were induced to differentiate in the presence dexamethasone, insulin and rosiglitazone, to which was added either 50 ng/ml BMP2; BMP2 + TGFbeta; BMP2 + IBMX; BMP2 + TGFbeta + IBMX.
