3D Genome of macaque fetal brain reveals evolutionary innovations during primate corticogenesis

ABSTRACT: Elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of human brain evolution is essential to understanding human cognition and mental disorders. We generated multi-omics profiles and constructed a high-resolution map of 3D genome architecture of rhesus macaque during corticogenesis. By comparing the 3D genomes of human, macaque and mouse brains, we identified many human-specific chromatin structure changes, including 499 topologically associating domains (TADs) and 1,266 chromatin loops. The human-specific loops are significantly enriched in enhancer-enhancer interactions and the regulated genes show human-specific expression changes in the subplate, a transient zone of the developing brain critical for neural circuit formation and plasticity. Notably, many human-specific sequence changes are located in the human-specific TAD boundaries and loop anchors, which may lead to the formation of new transcription factor binding sites and chromatin structures in human. Collectively, the presented data highlight the value of comparative 3D genome analyses in dissecting the regulatory mechanisms of brain development and evolution.

Comparative 3D genomic architectures elucidate the function of the adaptive human-specific inversions in human brain evolution

Project description:Structural variation (SV) is a class of genetic variants involving long stretches of DNA and provides substantial innovations for adaptation and evolution. Investigation of SV profiles and turnover in nonhuman primates can help answer fundamental questions, such as what makes us uniquely human. Here, we present the high-resolution comparative 3D genome organizations of prefrontal cortex (PFC) of adult human and rhesus macaque. Based on a comprehensive SV atlas in rhesus macaque populations, we found that inversions are selectively constrained from the perspective of 3D genome, those inducing dramatic changes in chromosomal conformation tends to be purged by the action of purifying selection, implying the inconspicuous adaptive roles of inversions associated with strong effects. Furthermore, by integrating comparative genomics and multi-omics data across human and rhesus macaque, such as gene structures, regulatory elements and 3D genomic organizations, we highlighted a category of human-specific inversions with strong effects and found that they had undergone rapid fixation and caused significant changes in gene expression in human brain development, which may represent a driving force in human brain evolution. Overall, our findings reveal the great value of comparative 3D Hi-C maps in elucidating the adaptive functions of structural variants.

Comparative single-cell multiome reveals evolutionary innovations in neural progenitor cells during primate corticogenesis

Project description:The cellular and genetic mechanism underlying the human-specific features of cortex development remains unclear. We generated a cell-type resolved atlas of transcriptome and chromatin accessibility of the developing macaque and mouse prefrontal cortex, and conducted evolutionary analyses with the published complementary human data. The cortex cell type composition shows an overall conservation across species. We found the human neural progenitors show extensive transcriptional rewiring in the growth factor and extracellular matrix pathways. Expression of the human-specific progenitor marker ITGA2 in the cortex of fetal mouse promotes progenitor proliferation and an increased upper-layer neuron proportion. We demonstrate that these transcriptional divergences are primarily driven by the activity changes of the distal regulatory elements in the genome. Markedly, the chromatin regions with human-gained accessibility enrich the human-fixed sequence changes, as well as sequence polymorphisms associated with intelligence and neuropsychiatric disorders. Our results uncover evolutionary innovations in neural progenitors and gene regulatory mechanism during primate cortex evolution.

Epigenomic annotation of gene regulatory alterations during evolution of the primate brain

Project description:While genome sequencing has identified numerous non-coding alterations between primate species, which of these are regulatory and potentially relevant to the evolution of the human brain is unclear. Here, we annotate cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in the human, rhesus macaque and chimpanzee genome using ChIP-sequencing in different anatomical parts of the adult brain. We find high similarity in the genomic positioning of CREs between rhesus macaque and humans, suggesting that the majority of these elements were already present in a common ancestor 25 million years ago. Most of the observed regulatory changes between humans and rhesus macaque occurred prior to the ancestral separation of humans and chimpanzee, leaving a modest set of regulatory elements with predicted human-specificity. Our data refine previous predictions and hypotheses on the consequences of genomic changes between primate species, and allow the identification of regulatory alterations relevant to the evolution of the brain. ChIP-Sequencing for H3K27ac on 8 distinct brain regions from human (three biological replicates per brain region), chimpanzee (two biological replicates per brain region) and rhesus macaque (three biological replicates per brain region).

Robust Hi-C maps of enhancer-promoter interactions reveal the function of non-coding genome in neural development and diseases

Project description:Despite recent progress in mammalian 3D genome studies, it remains experimentally and computationally challenging to identify chromatin interactions genome-wide. Here we developed a highly efficient “easy Hi-C” (eHi-C) protocol that generates high-yield libraries with 0.1 million cells. After rigorous bias-correction with a significantly improved Hi-C analysis pipeline, we can directly recognize the dynamic long- and short-range chromatin loops from contact heatmaps. We compared 10 ultra-deep Hi-C or eHi-C datasets (billion- read scale) from human tissue- or cell types focusing on brain and neurogenesis. We found that H3K9me3 marks a 3D genome compartmental barrier for induced pluripotency. Dynamic chromatin loops, but not genome compartments, are hallmarks of neuronal differentiation and neuron-related diseases. Interestingly, we observed many neuron-specific enhancer-promoter looping clusters spanning Mb-scale neighborhoods, supporting a phase-separation model leading to enhancer aggregation during brain development. Taken together, our 3D genome analyses shed light on the regulation of brain development and complex neuronal diseases.

Transcriptomic and open chromatin atlas of high-resolution anatomical regions in the rhesus macaque brain

Project description:Rhesus macaque is a prime model animal in neuroscience. A comprehensive transcriptomic and open chromatin atlas of the rhesus macaque brain is key to a deeper understanding of the brain. Here we characterize the transcriptome of 416 brain samples from 52 regions of 8 rhesus macaque brain. We identify gene modules associated with specific brain regions like the cerebral cortex, pituitary, and thalamus. In addition, we discover 9703 novel intergenic transcripts, including 1701 coding transcripts and 2845 lncRNAs. Most of the novel transcripts are only expressed in specific brain regions or cortical regions of specific individuals. We further survey the open chromatin regions in the hippocampal CA1 and several cerebral cortical regions of the rhesus macaque brain using ATAC-seq, revealing CA1- and cortex-specific open chromatin regions. Our results add to the growing body of knowledge regarding the baseline transcriptomic and open chromatin profiles in the brain of rhesus macaque.

Molecular features driving cellular and regulatory complexity of human brain evolution [RNA-seq]

Project description:Genomic changes acquired in human evolution contribute to the unique abilities of human brain. However, characterizing the molecular underpinnings of human-specific traits is a multifaceted challenge due to the cellular heterogeneity of human brain and complex regulation of gene expression. Here, we performed single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) and single-nuclei ATAC-seq (snATAC-seq) in human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque brain tissue (brodmann area 23, posterior cingulate cortex). Human-specific changes were distinct among neuronal subtypes indicating that human brain evolution was accompanied by molecular alterations in finer cellular resolution. We also observed more human-specific alterations in epigenome compared to transcriptome. Interestingly, human-specific accessibility changes in neurons were not as concordant with gene expression changes in comparison to other species, partially explaining this discrepancy. These cis-regulatory elements were enriched for immediate early gene motifs, identifying accelerated evolution of activity regulated genes in humans. We also uncovered associations between human evolution and brain disease genes at the cell type level. Together, these results reveal multiple mechanisms for human brain evolution at cell type resolution and establish the first direct evidence for accelerated human-specificity of activity-dependent molecular changes.

Widespread contribution of transposable elements to the rewiring of mammalian 3D genomes

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are major contributors of genetic material in mammalian genomes. These often include binding sites for architectural proteins, including the multifarious master protein, CTCF, which shapes the 3D genome by creating loops, domains, compartment borders and RNA-DNA interactions, all of which play a role in the compact packaging of DNA and have the potential to facilitate regulatory function. In this study, we explore the widespread contribution of TEs to mammalian 3D genomes by quantifying the extent to which they give rise to loops and domain border differences across various cell types and species using several 3D genome mapping technologies. We show that specific (sub-)families of TEs have contributed to lineage-specific 3D chromatin structures across mammalian species. In many cases, these loops may facilitate interaction between distant cis-regulatory elements and target genes, and domains may segregate chromatin state to impact gene expression in a lineage-specific manner. An experimental validation of our analytical findings using CRISPR-Cas9 to delete a candidate TE resulted in disruption of species-specific 3D chromatin structure. Taken together, we comprehensively quantify and selectively validate our finding that TEs contribute to 3D genome organization and may, in some cases, impact gene regulation during the course of mammalian evolution.
