Mapping the landscape of chromatin dynamics during naïve CD4+ T-cell activation.

ABSTRACT: T-cell activation induces context-specific gene expression programs that promote energy generation and biosynthesis, progression through the cell cycle and ultimately cell differentiation. The aim of this study was to apply the omni ATAC-seq method to characterize the landscape of chromatin changes induced by T-cell activation in mature naïve CD4+ T-cells. Using a well-established ex vivo protocol of canonical T-cell receptor signaling, we generated genome-wide chromatin maps of naïve T-cells from pediatric donors in quiescent or recently activated states. We identified thousands of individual chromatin accessibility peaks that are associated with T-cell activation. The majority of these were localized to intronic and intergenic enhancer regions, marked by active histone modifications whilst quiescence was maintained by repressive histone marks. Regions of activation-associated gains in chromatin accessibility were enriched for well-known pioneer transcription factor motifs, and super-enhancer regions associated with distinct gene regulatory networks. These cis-regulatory elements together brought about distinct transcriptional signatures in activated cells including TNFa-NFkB signaling, hormone-responsive genes, inflammatory response genes and IL2-STAT5 signaling. Our data provides novel insights into the chromatin dynamics and motif usage of T-cell receptor signaling events in early life. The characterized pathways demonstrate the utility of chromatin profiling techniques applied to bio-banked samples for characterizing gene regulatory elements.

ATAC-seq of human lung cell types

Project description:We report the application of the assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq) for the profiling of open chromatin human primary lung cell types implicated in lung disease pathology, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We generated chromatin accessibility profiles for human primary bronchial epithelial cells, small airway epithelial cells, alveolar type II pneumocytes, and lung fibroblasts using Omni-ATAC-seq. We further profiled open chromatin in a commonly used bronchial epithelial cell line (16HBE14o-) to evaluate the correlation with primary cell profiles and confirm the technical improvements using Omni-ATAC-seq vs Fast-ATAC-seq. We used these profiles to evaluate the enrichment of COPD risk variants in lung-specific open chromatin regions (OCRs) and generated cell type-specific regulatory predictions for >6,500 variants corresponding to 82 COPD GWAS loci.

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.

DamID-based chromatin profiling of UpSET in Kc cells and chromatic accesibility evaluation in UpSET knock down Kc cells

Project description:Developmental gene expression results from the orchestrated interplay between genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Here, we describe upSET, a transcriptional regulator encoding a SET domaincontaining protein recruited to active and inducible genes in Drosophila. However, unlike other Drosophila SET proteins associated with gene transcription, UpSET is part of an Rpd3/Sin3-containing complex that restricts chromatin accessibility and histone acetylation to promoter regions. In the absence of UpSET, active chromatin marks and chromatin accessibility increase and spread to genic and flanking regions due to destabilization of the histone deacetylase complex. Consistent with this, transcriptional noise increases, as manifest by activation of repetitive elements and off-target genes. Interestingly, upSET mutant flies are female sterile due to upregulation of key components of Notch signaling during oogenesis. Thus UpSET defines a class of metazoan transcriptional regulators required to fine tune transcription by preventing the spread of active chromatin. For determining DamID based UpSET chromatin profile, three biological replicates were used. For evaluating chromatin accessibility, two biological replicates were performed.

Regulation of chromatin accessibility in early zebrafish embryos by Pou5f3 and Sox19b transcription factors.

Project description:Pou5f3 and Sox19b transcription factors promote chromatin accessibility and activate zygotic transcription in zebrafish embryos. It is poorly understood how two transcription factors act together on chromatin. To answer this question, we performed Omni-ATAC-seq on the zebrafish embryos, single and double mutants by Pou5f3 and Sox19b, as well as the wild-type, at two blastula developmental stages, oblong and dome. We report, that chromatin accessibility on 48% of all putative enhancers depends on Pou5f3 and Sox19b. Out of them, accessibility on 33% enhancers is reduced in the double mutant and of 15% is increased. Enhancers with reduced and increased chromatin accessibility differ in GC content and transcription factors binding motif frequency, and are linked to early and late developmental regulatory genes, respectively. Our results indicate that Pou5f3 and Sox19b not only activate early zygotic genes, but also prevent premature activation of late developmental enhancers.

Identification of chromatin accessibility domains in EMT and breast cancer stem cell formation.

Project description:Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the process whereby cells gain migratory and invasive properties characteristic of mesenchymal cells, plays a central role in embryogenesis and wound healing in a wide range of tissues. However, EMT has also been linked to the formation of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Many of the signaling pathways involved in EMT have also been implicated in CSC formation but the processes that contribute uniquely to CSC formation remain elusive. We have previously demonstrated that PKCÎ¸ activation is critical for EMT induction and concomitant CSC formation in the breast cancer luminal epithelial cell line, MCF7. To discover how PKC-induced alterations in the epigenome influence the EMT and CSC formation in MCF-7 cells, we employed a combination of expression profiling and Formaldehyde Assisted Regulatory Elements (FAIRE)-sequencing in order to reveal novel links between gene expression and DNA accessibility changes after PKCÎ¸ activation. We found that, during EMT, increases in accessibility generally occurred in regions away from transcription start sites, low in CpG, enriched with chromatin marks of enhancer elements and motifs for FOX, AP1, TEAD and AP2. Increases in FOX and AP-1 motif accessibility were associated with genes that exhibited increased expression in CSC, while increased AP-2 accessibility was associated with genes that had higher expression in non-CSCs. This study revealed novel regions of DNA accessibility induced by PKC that contribute to the understanding of how epigenomic plasticity of cells undergoing EMT leads to the activation of genes that drive the CSC program. 2 biological samples were analysed with 2 biological replicates each and a mixed total input.

Developmental Acquisition of Regulomes Underlies Innate Lymphoid Cell Functionality

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play key roles in host defense, barrier integrity, and homeostasis, and they mirror adaptive CD4+ T helper (Th) cell subtypes in both usages of effector molecules and transcription factors. To better understand ILC subsets and their relationship with Th cells, we measured genome-wide chromatin accessibility. We found that chromatin in proximity to effector genes was selectively accessible in ILCs prior to high-level transcription upon activation. Accessibility of these regions was acquired in a stepwise manner during development and changed little after in vitro or in vivo activation. Conversely, dramatic chromatin remodeling occurred in naïve CD4+ T cells during Th cell differentiation using a type 2-infection model. This alteration results in a substantial convergence of Th2 cells toward ILC2 regulomes. Our data indicate extensive sharing of regulatory circuitry across the innate and adaptive compartments of the immune system, in spite of their divergent developing pathways.

Active chromatin domains are defined by acetylation islands revealed by genome-wide mapping

Project description:The identity and developmental potential of a human cell is specified by its epigenome that is largely defined by patterns of chromatin modifications including histone acetylation. Here we report high-resolution genome-wide mapping of diacetylation of histone H3 at Lys 9 and Lys 14 in resting and activated human T cells by genome-wide mapping technique (GMAT). Our data show that high levels of the H3 acetylation are detected in gene-rich regions. The chromatin accessibility and gene expression of a genetic domain is correlated with hyperacetylation of promoters and other regulatory elements but not with generally elevated acetylation of the entire domain. Islands of acetylation are identified in the intergenic and transcribed regions. The locations of the 46,813 acetylation islands identified in this study aresignificantly correlated with conserved noncoding sequences (CNSs) and many of them are colocalized with known regulatory elements in T cells. TCR signaling induces 4045 new acetylation loci that may mediate the global chromatin remodeling and gene activation. We propose that the acetylation islands are epigenetic marks that allow prediction of functional regulatory elements. Keywords: SAGE-ChIP Using GMAT, we determined the genome-wide distribution of K9/K14 diacetylated histone H3 in resting and activated human T cells.

ATAC-seq experiment at four time points in HEK293 and hESC cells, assessing the time-resolved response on chromatin accessibility upon Wnt/β-catenin signaling activation

Project description:Wnt/β-catenin signaling is a highly organized biochemical cascade that triggers a gene expression program in the signal-receiving cell. The Wnt/β-catenin -driven transcriptional response is involved in virtually all cellular processes during development, homeostasis, and its deregulation causes human disease. However, outstanding questions remain unanswered. Among these, one regards how the Wnt/β-catenin cascade modulates the chromatin behavior: to date, there exists no comprehensive genome-wide annotation of changing chromatin patterns upon Wnt pathway activation. This is important, as shifts in chromatin patterns might underlie how different cells promote diverging gene expression programs in response to Wnt. To address this question, we characterized how Wnt/β-catenin signaling shapes the genome-wide chromatin accessibility landscape in two human cell types, human embryonic kidney cells 293T (HEK293T) and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), over time. To this end, we treated HEK293T and hESCs with the GSK3 inhibitor/Wnt activator CHIR99021 (10 mM) for 3 days and assessed chromatin accessibility via ATAC-sequencing 4 hours, 24 hours and 3 days after the onset of the stimulation. We found that hESCs respond to Wnt/β-catenin activation by progressively shaping their chromatin accessibility profile in a manner that is consistent with their gradual acquisition of a mesodermal identity: differentiation genes loci open over time, while pluripotency ones close. We refer to this genomic response as plastic. On the other hand, HEK293T, which are known to be highly responsive to Wnt activation, appear more resistant to a long-term Wnt/β-catenin-driven change in cell identity. In this context, the chromatin displays a temporary opening of relevant regions at 4 hours after stimulation, followed by a re-establishment of its pre-stimulation state: we define this transient response as elastic.
