A CTCF binding element regulates RA-induced early ESCs differentiation through orchestrating long-range chromatin interactions between its adjacent enhancers and HoxA

ABSTRACT: Proper Homeobox A (HoxA) cluster genes expression is essential for embryonic stem cells (ESCs) differentiation and individual development. However, the mechanisms controlling the precise spatiotemporal expression of HoxA cluster genes during early ESCs differentiation remain largely unknown. Here, we find a CTCF binding element (CBE+47kb) closest to the 3'-end of HoxA locus within a topologically associated domains (TAD) in ESCs. CRISPR-Cas9 mediated the CBE+47kb knockout significantly promotes expression of HoxA cluster genes and early ESCs differentiation induced by RA compared with wild type cells. In mechanism, we found that there was a significant differently long-range chromatin interactions between its adjacent enhancers and HoxA in CBE+47kb knockout cells through chromosome conformation capture assay (Capture-C), indicating that CBE+47kb can precisely organize interactions between its adjacent enhancers and HoxA chromatins. Furthermore, we also showed that its adjacent enhancers deletion shows significantly synthetic inhibition effect on HoxA genes expression, suggesting that these enhancers are required for RA-induced HoxA genes expression. Our study reveals that a new functional CBE+47 can regulate HoxA genes expression through orchestrating long-range chromatin interactions between its adjacent enhancers and HoxA, thus maintaining RA-induced early ESCs proper differentiation.

Opposing roles for the lncRNA Haunt and its genomic locus in regulating HOXA gene activation during embryonic stem cell differentiation

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in controlling various aspects of embryonic stem cell (ESC) biology, although the functions of specific lncRNAs, and the molecular mechanisms through which they act, remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate discrete and opposing roles for the lncRNA transcript Haunt and its genomic locus in regulating the HOXA gene cluster during ESC differentiation. Reducing or enhancing Haunt expression, with minimal disruption of the Haunt locus, led to up- or down-regulation of HOXA genes, respectively. In contrast, increasingly large genomic deletions within the Haunt locus attenuated HOXA activation. The Haunt DNA locus contains potential enhancers of HOXA activation, whereas Haunt RNA acts to prevent aberrant HOXA expression. This work reveals a multi-faceted model of lncRNA-mediated transcriptional regulation of the HOXA cluster, with distinct roles for a lncRNA transcript and its genomic locus, while illustrating the power of rapid CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing for assigning lncRNA functions. All RNA-seq(s) were designed to reveal the differentially expressed genes among different stages of ESCs differentiation, or differentially expressed genes between wild-type or Haunt or HOXA mutant cells during RA-induced differentiation. All ChIRP-Seq were used to reveal the DNA or RNA targets of Haunt before or after RA treatment.

Two enhancers synergistically regulate HoxB genes expressions and retinoic acid-induced early ESCs differentiation through 3D chromatin structure

Project description:Homeobox B cluster (HoxB) genes play important roles in RA-induced early ESCs differentiation. In this study, we identified two enhancers synergistically regulate HoxB genes expressions through 3D chromatin structure and thus regulate RA-induced early ESCs differentiation. 4C data showed interactions between HoxB genes and the two enhancers. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated individual or compound deletion of the two enhancers significantly inhibits HoxB genes expressions while transcriptome analysis revealed that RA induced early ESCs differentiation was blocked in the enhancer KO cells. Our study suggests new mechanism by which two enhancers regulate HoxB genes expressions and retinoic acid-induced early ESCs differentiation through 3D chromatin structure.

An essential role for UTX in resolution and activation of bivalent promoters

Project description:In the present study, we show that UTX plays an essential role in resolving and activating many retinoic acid (RA)-inducible bivalent genes during the RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs treated with a physiologically relevant RA concentration (0.2 μM). We showed that UTX loss and UTX knockdown interfered with the RA-induced differentiation of mouse ESCs. Therefore, our findings indicate that the UTX-mediated resolution and activation of many RA-inducible bivalent genes, including numerous Hoxa-d cluster genes, are required for RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs.

An essential role for UTX in resolution and activation of bivalent promoters

Project description:In the present study, we show that UTX plays an essential role in resolving and activating many retinoic acid (RA)-inducible bivalent genes during the RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs treated with a physiologically relevant RA concentration (0.2 Î¼M). We showed that UTX loss and UTX knockdown interfered with the RA-induced differentiation of mouse ESCs. Therefore, our findings indicate that the UTX-mediated resolution and activation of many RA-inducible bivalent genes, including numerous Hoxa-d cluster genes, are required for RA-driven differentiation of mouse ESCs. ChIP-Seq data for H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 were generated along with input data for mouse stem cells with wild type or UTX-depleted genotype and with or without RA treatment.

Enhancer architecture-dependent multilayered transcriptional regulation orchestrates RA signal-induced early differentiation of ESC

Project description:Signaling pathway driven target gene transcriptions are critical for fate determination of embryonic stem cells (ESC), but enhancer architecture-dependent transcriptional regulation remains largely unclear in this process. Here, we described a complex enhancer architecture-dependent multilayered transcriptional regulation that orchestrates retinoic acid (RA) signal-induced early differentiation of ESC. Specifically, we identified Hoxa1 and lncRNA Halr1 as the direct downstream target genes of RA signal. Chromosome conformation capture based screens show that increased enhancer interactions promoted by RA signal are essential for Hoxa1 and Halr1 expressions during early ESC differentiation. Furthermore, we find that HOXA1 promotes Halr1 expression through direct binding to enhancers; conversely, absence of Halr1 RNA enhances interaction between Hoxa1 chromatin and multiple enhancers, but weakens interaction with HoxA cluster internal chromatin, thereby promoting RA signal-induced Hoxa1 overactivation and early differentiation of ESC. These results indicate that Halr1 binds to chromatin not only acts as a brake to orchestrate interaction between enhancers and Hoxa1 chromatin, but also acts as a binder to maintain chromatin interaction within HoxA cluster. In summary, these findings reveal a complex multilayered transcriptional regulation involving the synergistic regulation of enhancer, transcription factor and lncRNA, and that increases our understanding of the intrinsic molecular mechanisms of RA signal-induced ESC differentiation.

RA-dependent proximal and distal enhancers’ architecture promotes RA-induced early ESC differentiation

Project description:Retinoic acid (RA) plays a pivotal role in different biological processes including inducing differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We first knocked out one or both of RA receptors- Rarα and Rxrα to partially abolish the RA signaling, and then overexpressed one of them separately to hyper activation of RA signaling pathway. By transcriptome analysis, we show that RA signaling effects multi-lineage differentiation, particularly the endoderm, and identify RA signaling target genes, interesting, there are two family cluster genes- Hoxb and Cyp26. Chromosome immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) shows that RA induces novel proximal and distal enhancers around the cluster target genes and these enhancers are dependent of RA receptors(Rarα/Rxrα). 4C-seq reveals enhancer-enhancer and enhancer-promoter interactions in their regions and shows a decrease in the relative frequency of contact relative to WT after Rarα/Rxrα-knockout, suggesting Rarα/Rxrα participate in mediating chromatin interaction. We also identify that enhancers significantly maintain expression of RA-induced Hoxb and Cyp26 family genes and regulate multi-lineage marker genes. At the same time, we reveal that disrupting RA-response elements (RAREs) in the enhancer affects the expression of the target gene. Our study provides mechanistic insight into RA-induced early ESC differentiation to endoderm and potential regular regulation of downstream target genes.

Hydroxylation of 5-methylcytosine by TET2 maintains the active state of the mammalian HOXA cluster (Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip)

Project description:Differentiation is accompanied by extensive epigenomic reprogramming, leading to the repression of stemness factors and the transcriptional maintenance of activated lineage-specific genes. Here we used the mammalian Hoxa cluster of developmental genes as a model system to follow changes in DNA modification patterns during retinoic acid induced differentiation. We found the inactive cluster to be marked by defined patterns of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). Upon the induction of differentiation, the active anterior part of the cluster became increasingly enriched in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), following closely the colinear activation pattern of the gene array, which was paralleled by the reduction of 5mC. Depletion of the 5hmC generating dioxygenase Tet2 impaired the maintenance of Hoxa activity and partially restored 5mC levels. Our results indicate that gene specific 5mC-5hmC conversion by Tet2 is crucial for the maintenance of active chromatin states at lineage-specific loci. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of uninduced and retinoic acid (RA) induced NTera2/D1 embryocarcinoma cells (NT2). Bisulphite converted DNA of uninduced, 7d RA and 14d RA treated NT2 cells were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip.
