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 data demonstrates that the initial phase of memory formation alters the chromatin accessibility landscape of activated neurons, with long lasting stable changes occurring predominantly within enhancer regions. Moreover, many of these enhancers did not return to their baseline state after stimulation ceased, but remain accessible and stable throughout all memory phases.

Project description:Mitosis entails global alterations to chromosome structure and nuclear architecture, concomitant with transient silencing of transcription. How cells transmit transcriptional states through mitosis remains incompletely understood. While many nuclear factors dissociate from mitotic chromosomes, the observation that certain nuclear factors and chromatin features remain associated with individual loci during mitosis originated the hypothesis that they could provide transcriptional memory through mitosis. To obtain the first genome-wide view of the dynamics of chromatin structure during mitosis, we compared the DNase sensitivity of interphase and mitotic chromatin at two stages of cellular maturation in a rapidly dividingmurine erythroblastmodel. Despite global chromosome condensation visible during mitosis at the microscopic level, the chromatin accessibility landscape is largely unaltered. However, mitotic chromatin accessibility is locally dynamic, with individual loci maintaining none, some, or all of their interphase accessibility. Mitotic reduction in accessibility occurs primarily within narrow, highly hypersensitive sites that frequently coincide with transcription factor binding sites, whereas broader domains of moderate accessibility tend to be more stable. In mitosis, proximal promoters generally maintain their accessibility, whereas distal regulatory elements preferentially lose accessibility. Promoters with the highest degree of accessibility preservation in mitosis tend to also be accessible across many murine tissues in interphase. Transcription factor GATA1 exerts site-specific changes in interphase accessibility that are most pronounced at distal regulatory elements, but does not visibly influence mitotic accessibility. We conclude that features of open chromatin are remarkably stable through mitosis and are modulated at the level of individual genes and regulatory elements. Dnase-Seq data is integrated with Chip-seq [GSE36589, GSE30142] and RNA-seq to examine epigentic changes in mitosis. We performed DNase-seq on two cell lines, G1E and G1E-ER4, both on an asynchronus population, and on a sample of cells in mitosis; each of the 4 experiments in triplicate.
