Mapping the epigenomic and transcriptomic interplay during memory formation and recall in the hippocampal engram ensemble

ABSTRACT: Purpose: we utilized a mouse model that permanently labels neurons activated throughout a specific experience to decipher the interplay between chromatin accessibility, 3D-chromatin architecture and transcriptional changes across different memory phases. Non activated (basal) and activated neurons during memory encoding (early), consolidation (late) and recall (reactivated) were sorted and subjected to nuclear RNA sequencing (nRNA-seq) to determine gene expression, ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) to assess chromatin accessibility, chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) to identify global 3D -genome architecture and promoter capture Hi-C to identify the long range promoter-enhancer interactions. Results: Our differentially expressed gene (DEG) analysis revealed relatively low amount of changes in the early phase, when compared to basal-state neurons (Basal vs. Early). In contrast, neurons from late phase presented higher numbers of DEGs despite there being more similarity in chromatin accessibility at these time points (Early vs. Late; Late vs. Reactivated). Our studies illuminate for the first time the unique transcriptional landscape of reactivated engram cells where we observed up-regulation of genes involved in mRNA transport and local protein translation in synaptic compartments. These changes corresponded to morphological and functional changes in those neurons.

Mapping the epigenomic and transcriptomic interplay during memory formation and recall in the hippocampal engram ensemble

Project description:Purpose: we utilized a mouse model that permanently labels neurons activated throughout a specific experience to decipher the interplay between chromatin accessibility, 3D-chromatin architecture and transcriptional changes across different memory phases. Non activated (basal) and activated neurons during memory encoding (early), consolidation (late) and recall (reactivated) were sorted and subjected to nuclear RNA sequencing (nRNA-seq) to determine gene expression, ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing) to assess chromatin accessibility, chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) to identify global 3D -genome architecture and promoter capture Hi-C to identify the long range promoter-enhancer interactions. Results: We have found that during each memory phase, the same promoters interact more frequently with a distinct subset of enhancers (i.e. unique). We also identified a smaller subset of interactions in which the promoters were interacting with the same enhancers across different memory phases (i.e. common). Furthermore, Reactivated neurons presented significantly stronger interaction scores (as calculated by CHiCAGO). Hence, although the number of unique interactions was similar across early, late and reactivated states, stronger interaction scores indicate that specific promoter- enhancer interactions occur more frequently during memory recall.

Results: Our analysis revealed dynamic changes in compartments organization, where we observed re-localization of large chromatin segments from inactive to permissive environment (and vice versa) during the initial and late phase of memory formation. Interestingly, 52% of the regions in the early phase that switched from B to A maintained that state in the late phase (i.e. remained in state A. Moreover, nearly all these regions significantly overlapped with gained DARs identified in our ATAC-seq analysis, confirming the transition of sub-compartment from inactive to permissive environment. This data indicates that while some loci undergo sub-compartment switching across different memory phases, the majority are stable, correlate with chromatin accessibility and therefore might contribute to long-term changes in neuronal properties and function after initial activation.

Gene expression in basal progenitors in the cerebral cortex of Tbr2 conditional knockout mice

Project description:During cortical development neurons are generated from basal progenitors (BPs) which specifically express the transcription factor Tbr2. We used fluorescent-activated cell sorting (FACS) to isolate BPs from Tbr2-conditional knockout mice brain at early (E13) and late (E16) stages of cortical neurogenesis and determined mRNA expression profiles using microarray (Illumina MouseWG-6 v2). Role of transcription factor Tbr2 in basal progenitors during corticogenesis.

Evolution of diapause in the African killifish by remodeling ancient gene regulatory landscape

Project description:Suspended animation (e.g. hibernation, diapause) allows organisms to survive extreme environments. But the mechanisms underlying the evolution of suspended animation states are unknown. The African turquoise killifish has evolved diapause as a form of suspended development to survive the complete drought that occurs every summer. Here, we show that gene duplicates – paralogs – exhibit specialized expression in diapause compared to normal development in the African turquoise killifish. Surprisingly, paralogs with specialized expression in diapause are evolutionarily very ancient and are present even in vertebrates that do not exhibit diapause. To determine if evolution of diapause is due to the regulatory landscape rewiring at ancient paralogs, we assessed chromatin accessibility genome-wide in fish species with or without diapause. This analysis revealed an evolutionary recent increase in chromatin accessibility at very ancient paralogs in African turquoise killifish. The increase in chromatin accessibility is linked to the presence of new binding sites for transcription factors, likely due to de novo mutations and transposable element (TE) insertion. Interestingly, accessible chromatin regions in diapause are enriched for lipid metabolism genes, and our lipidomics studies uncover a striking difference in lipid species in African turquoise killifish diapause, which could be critical for long-term survival. Together, our results show that diapause likely originated by repurposing pre-existing gene programs via recent changes in the regulatory landscape. This work raises the possibility that suspended animation programs could be reactivated in other species for long-term preservation via transcription factor remodeling and suggests a mechanism for how complex adaptations evolve in nature.

10X Genomics scRNA-seq profiling of mammary gland cells from mice at different life stages

Project description:Background: Heterogeneity within the mouse mammary epithelium has been recently explored by single-cell RNA profiling. To further understand how cellular diversity changes during mammary development, we profiled single cells from different developmental stages including late embryogenesis, early postnatal, prepuberty, resting adult, mid-pregnancy, late-pregnancy, lactation and post-involution. We also compared the transcriptomes and chromatin accessibility of micro-dissected ducts versus terminal endbuds (TEBs) to help decipher the molecular properties of these specialized units that drive morphogenesis. Results: The single cell transcriptomes of 110,726 cells isolated from different stages were determined on the 10x Chromium platform and integrative analyses were performed to compare specific time-points. The mammary rudiment at E18.5 aligned more closely with the basal than the luminal lineage, while prepubertal epithelial cells at 2 weeks exhibited lineage segregation but to a less differentiated state than their adult counterparts. Integrated analysis of five stages spanning the pregnancy cycle revealed a novel alveolar progenitor that arises in late-pregnancy and stage-specific expression profiles. A continuum of states was uncovered along the basal-luminal progenitor cell axis following interrogation with >3,200 lineage-specific signature genes. Finally, exploration of micro-dissected TEBs and ducts showed that luminal cells within TEBs harbored intermediate expression profiles, and that ductal basal cells exhibited a higher level of accessible chromatin than their counterparts in TEBs.

Reorganization of postmitotic neuronal chromatin accessibility for maturation of serotonergic identity

Project description:Assembly of transcriptomes encoding unique neuronal identities requires selective accessibility of transcription factors to cis-regulatory sequences in nucleosome-embedded postmitotic chromatin. Yet, the mechanisms controlling postmitotic neuronal chromatin accessibility are poorly understood. Here, we show that unique distal enhancers define the Pet1 neuron lineage that generates serotonin (5-HT) neurons. Heterogeneous single cell chromatin landscapes are established early in postmitotic Pet1 neurons and reveal the putative regulatory programs driving Pet1 neuron subtype identities. Distal enhancer accessibility is highly dynamic as Pet1 neurons mature, suggesting the existence of regulatory factors that reorganize postmitotic neuronal chromatin. We find that Pet1 and Lmx1b control chromatin accessibility to select Pet1-lineage specific enhancers for 5-HT neurotransmission. Additionally, these factors are required to maintain chromatin accessibility during early maturation suggesting that postmitotic neuronal open chromatin is unstable and requires continuous regulatory input. Together our findings reveal postmitotic transcription factors that reorganize accessible chromatin for neuron specialization.
