Cis-regulatory dissection of cone development reveals a broad role for Otx2 and Oc transcription factors [CUT&RUN]

ABSTRACT: The vertebrate retina is generated by retinal progenitor cells (RPCs), which produce >100 cell types. Although some RPCs produce many cell types, other RPCs produce restricted types of daughter cells, such as a cone photoreceptor and a horizontal cell (HC). We used genome-wide assays of chromatin structure to compare the profiles of a restricted cone/HC and those of other RPCs in chicks. These data nominated regions of regulatory activity, which were tested in tissue, leading to the identification of many cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) active in cone/HC RPCs and developing cones. Two transcription factors, Otx2 and Oc1, were found to bind to many of these CRMs, including those near genes important for cone development and function, and their binding sites were required for activity. We also found that Otx2 has a predicted autoregulatory CRM. These results suggest that Otx2, Oc1 and possibly other Onecut proteins have a broad role in coordinating cone development and function. The many newly discovered CRMs for cones are potentially useful reagents for gene therapy of cone diseases.

Cis-regulatory dissection of cone development reveals a broad role for Otx2 and Oc transcription factors [ATAC-seq]

Onecut1 and Otx2 directly regulate multiple genes expressed early in cone and horizontal cell development [scRNA-seq]

Project description:The development of the retina into a highly organized structure occurs via the production of over 100 cell types from a pool of retinal progenitor cells (RPCs). While some RPCs are capable of making many types of retinal cell types, some terminally dividing RPCs are restricted to the production of specific types of daughter cells. Notably, although such restrictions can be limited to the production of a very specific single cell type, in other cases, production of two very different cell types, such as a photoreceptor and an interneuron, occurs. How specific types of RPCs make specific types of neuron is not fully understood. Combining RNA-seq and ATAC-seq, we compared the transcriptome and chromatin profiles between one type of biased RPC and other types of RPCs. The biased RPC that was studied is one that we previously defined by its expression of a cis-regulatory module (CRM) for the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene (Thrb), the earliest known marker of cone photoreceptors. In this earlier study, we found that Otx2 and Onecut1 drove expression of this Thrb CRM, as well as regulated expression of the Thrb gene. Here we explored the roles of these Otx2 and Oc1 further. We discovered that their roles extend well beyond regulating Thrb. They collaborate to regulate multiple genes important in cone development and/or function, including Rxrg, a known partner of Thrb. We also identified several new enhancers of genes active in developing cones. These data expand our understanding of the gene regulatory network (GRN) for cone development and contribute new CRMs for vectors that are expressed only in cones, as well as enable the genesis of cones from stem cells, for their use in retinal disease cell and gene therapies.

Olig2 defines subpopulations of retinal progenitor cells

Project description:Previous lineage analyses have shown that retinal progenitor cells (RPCs) are multipotent throughout development, and expression profiling studies have shown a great deal of molecular heterogeneity among RPCs. To determine if the molecular heterogeneity predicts that an RPC will produce particular types of progeny, clonal lineage analysis was used to investigate the progeny of a subset of RPCs, those that express the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor, Olig2. In contrast to the large and complex set of clones generated by viral marking of random embryonic RPCs, the embryonic Olig2+ RPCs underwent terminal divisions, producing small clones with primarily two of the five cell types being made by the pool of RPCs at that time. The embryonically produced cell types made by Olig2+ RPCs were cone photoreceptors and horizontal cell (HC) interneurons. Moreover, the embryonic Olig2+ RPC did not make the later Olig2+ RPC. The later, postnatal Olig2+ RPCs also made terminal divisions, which were biased towards production of rod photoreceptors and amacrine cell (AC) interneurons. These data indicate that the multipotent progenitor pool is made up of distinctive types of RPCs, which have biases towards producing subsets of retinal neurons in a terminal division, with the types of neurons produced varying over time. This strategy is similar to that of the developing Drosophila melanogaster ventral nerve cord, with the Olig2+ cells behaving as ganglion mother cells. Single retinal cells were isolated in tubes containing lysis buffer, their mRNAs were reverse transcribed, and the resulting cDNAs were PCR amplified for 35 cycles. Labeled cDNA samples were hybridized to Affymetrix 430 2.0 microarrays and the data was normalized using MAS5.0 software. These cells were examined for the expression of Olig2 or other bHLH factors.

Expression profiling of the Otx2 CKO retina

Project description:In the vertebrate retina, the Otx2 transcription factor plays a crucial role in the cell fate determination of both rod and cone photoreceptors. Otx2 conditional knockout (CKO) mice exhibited a total absence of rods and cones in the retina due to their cell fate conversion to amacrine-like cells. In order to investigate the entire transcriptome regulated by Otx2 in the developing retina, we performed microarray analysis on the Otx2 CKO retina. In order to clarify the molecular role of Otx2 in transcriptional regulation during development, we investigated the expression profile of the Otx2 CKO retina compared with that of the control retina with the genotype Otx2flox/flox;Crx-cre- using microarrays at two time points, P1 and P12.

Expression data from cones in degenerated retinas from C3H/HeNCrl (Pde6brd1) mice

Project description:We used FACS isolated RD cone photoreceptors from C3H mice (we refer this mouse model as f-RD) that were transfected by AAVs to express fluorescent reporters to genomic analyses. We tested three different ages. Many cone photoreceptor markers are highly enriched, identifying the isolated RD cones as cones.

Occupancies of tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules by Spemann-Mangold organizer-specific transcription factors for embryonic head specification

Project description:Spemann-Mangold organizer-specific transcription factors (TFs), Otx2, Lim1/Lhx1, and Gsc, are essential for embryonic head specification. However, the molecular mechanisms by which those TFs interact with the genome to direct head formation are largely unknown. Here we employed ChIP-seq and RNA-seq approaches in Xenopus tropicalis gastrulae and found that occupancy of the corepressor, TLE/Groucho, is a better indicator of tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules (CRMs) than the coactivator p300, during early embryonic stages. On the basis of TLE binding and comprehensive CRM profiling, we defined two distinct types of Otx2- and TLE-occupied CRMs. Using these devices, Otx2 and Lim1/Lhx1 (activator) or Goosecoid (repressor) are able to upregulate or downregulate a large battery of target genes in the head organizer. An underlying principle is that Otx marks target genes for head specification to be regulated positively or negatively by partner TFs through specific types of CRMs.

Samd7 preserves cell identity and enforces the ‘one neuron-one receptor’ rule in vertebrate photoreceptors [5dpf_td]

Project description:The exclusive expression of single sensory receptors in individual neurons (the ‘one-neuron-one receptor’ rule) is essential for vision and other sensory systems. Here, we show that the transcriptional corepressor Samd7 enforces this rule in vertebrate red cones and acts in other photoreceptor types to maintain cell identity. In the zebrafish samd7-/- retina, red cones are transformed to hybrid red/UV-sensitive cones, green cones are transfated to blue cones, and the number of rods is greatly reduced. In the mouse Samd7-/- retina, dorsal M-cones are transformed to hybrid M/S-cones—analogous to the transformation of red to red/UV cones that occurs in zebrafish—and rods aberrantly express cone genes including S-opsin. Altogether, Samd7 acts to repress short-wavelength cone gene expression in long-wavelength-sensitive cones, thereby sustaining the mutually exclusive patterns of opsin expression and cone identity required for color vision.
