Human prefrontal cortex gene regulatory dynamics from gestation to adulthood at single-cell resolution

ABSTRACT: Human brain development is underpinned by cellular and molecular reconfigurations continuing into the third decade of life. To reveal cell dynamics orchestrating neural maturation we profiled human prefrontal cortex gene expression and chromatin accessibility at single-cell resolution, from gestation to adulthood. Integrative analyses define the dynamic trajectories of each cell type, revealing major gene expression reconfiguration at the prenatal-to-postnatal transition in all cell types followed by continuous reconfiguration into adulthood, and identifying regulatory networks guiding cellular developmental programs, states, and functions. We uncover links between expression dynamics and developmental milestones, characterize the diverse timing of when cells acquire adult-like states, and identify molecular convergence from distinct developmental origins. We further reveal cellular dynamics and their regulators implicated in neurological disorders. Finally, using this reference we benchmark cell identities and maturation states in organoid models. Together, this captures the dynamic regulatory landscape of human cortical development.

Dynamic re-configuration of pro-apoptotic BAK on membranes

Project description:BAK and BAX, the effectors of intrinsic apoptosis, undergo major reconfiguration to an activated conformer that self-associates to damage mitochondria and cause cell death. However, the dynamic structural mechanisms that describe this reconfiguration in the presence of a membrane have yet to be fully elucidated. To explore the metamorphosis of membrane-bound BAK, we employed hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) on liposomes comprising mitochondrial lipids. The HDX-MS profile of BAK on a membrane was broadly consistent with the known solution structures of inactive BAK. Following activation, HDX-MS resolved major reconfigurations in BAK. Mutagenesis led by our HDX-MS profiling revealed that the BCL-2 homology (BH) 4 domain maintains BAK in its inactive conformation and disrupting this was sufficient for constitutive BAK activation. Moreover, the entire BAK N-terminus that precedes the BAK oligomerisation domains became disordered post-activation and remained disordered in the activated oligomer. Cleavage of the N-terminus potentiated BAK-mediated membrane permeabilisation on liposomes and mitochondria. Together, HDX-MS reveals new insights into the dynamic nature of BAK activating conformation change in a membrane that will reveal new opportunities for therapeutic targeting.

Single-cell transcriptome analysis reveals the dynamics of human immune cells during early fetal skin development

Project description:The immune system of skin develops in stages in mice. However, the developmental dynamics of immune cells in human skin remains elusive. Here we perform transcriptome profiling of CD45+ hematopoietic cells in human fetal skin at an estimated gestational age of 10–17 weeks by single-cell RNA sequencing. A total of 13 immune cell types are identified. Skin macrophages show heterogeneity and dynamic over the course of skin development. A major shift in lymphoid cell developmental states occurs from the first to the second trimester that implied an in situ differentiation process. Gene expression analysis reveals a typical developmental program in immune cells in accordance with their functional maturation, possibly involving metabolic reprogramming. Finally, we identify transcription factors (TFs) that potentially regulate cellular transitions by comparing TFs and TF-target gene networks. These findings provide detailed insight into how the immune system of the human skin is established during development

Hematopoiesis at single cell resolution spanning human development and maturation

Project description:Hematopoiesis is a process of constitutive regeneration whereby hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) constantly replenish mature blood cells. During maturation and aging, HSPCs alter their output to support the shifting demands of prenatal development and postnatal maturation both at homeostasis and in response to stress. How HSPC ontogeny changes throughout life is unknown; studies to date have largely focused on analysis of specific individual ages, particularly those done at single cell resolution. Here, we performed single cell RNA-seq of human HSPCs from early prenatal development into mature adulthood, demonstrating dynamic remodeling of HSPC transcriptional states and differentiation trajectories over time. We identified age-specific gene expression patterns of lineage commitment throughout human life, and developed an approach for identifying, prospectively purifying, and functionally validating age-specific HSPC states. Together, our findings define the temporal evolution of hematopoiesis during human development and maturation, and uncover principles applicable to age-biased blood diseases.

Single Cell Multi-Omics Profiling Using ISSAAC-seq

Project description:Joint profiling of chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell provides critical information about cell types in a tissue and cell states during a dynamic process. These emerging multi-omics techniques help the investigation of cell-type resolved gene regulatory mechanisms. Here, we developed in situ SHERRY after ATAC-seq (ISSAAC-seq), a highly sensitive and flexible single cell multi-omics method to interrogate chromatin accessibility and gene expression from the same single cell. We demonstrated that ISSAAC-seq is sensitive and provides high quality data with orders of magnitude more features than existing methods. Using the joint profiles from thousands of nuclei from the mouse cerebral cortex, we uncovered major and rare cell types together with their cell-type specific regulatory elements and expression profiles. Finally, we revealed distinct dynamics and relationships of transcription and chromatin accessibility during an oligodendrocyte maturation trajectory.

Pseudocell Tracer - a method for inferring dynamic trajectories using scRNAseq and its application to B cells undergoing immunoglobulin class switch recombination

Project description:Single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) can be used to infer a temporal ordering of cellular states. Current methods for the inference of cellular trajectories rely on unbiased dimensionality reduction techniques. However, such biologically agnostic ordering can prove difficult for modeling complex developmental or differentiation processes. The cellular heterogeneity of dynamic biological compartments can result in sparse sampling of key intermediate cell states. To overcome these limitations, we develop a supervised machine learning framework, called Pseudocell Tracer, which infers trajectories in pseudospace rather than in pseudotime. The method uses a supervised encoder, trained with adjacent biological information, to project scRNAseq data into a low-dimensional manifold that maps the transcriptional states a cell can occupy. Then a generative adversarial network (GAN) is used to simulate pesudocells at regular intervals along a virtual cell-state axis. We demonstrate the utility of Pseudocell Tracer by modeling B cells undergoing immunoglobulin class switch recombination (CSR) during a prototypic antigen-induced antibody response. Our results revealed an ordering of key transcription factors regulating CSR to the IgG1 isotype, including the concomitant expression of Nfkb1 and Stat6 prior to the upregulation of Bach2 expression. Furthermore, the expression dynamics of genes encoding cytokine receptors suggest a poised IL-4 signaling state that preceeds CSR to the IgG1 isotype.

Mitotic activity shapes stage-specific histone modification profiles during Xenopus embryogenesis

Project description:Here we investigate the possible relationship between the propagation of epigenetic information and the developmental cell proliferation during Xenopus embryogenesis. We systemically inhibited cell proliferation during the G1/S-transition in gastrula embryos and followed their development until the tadpole stage. We quantified by mass spectrometry the abundance of a large set of histone modification states, which reflects the developmental maturation of the embryonic epigenome.

Methylation arrays (MethylationEPIC) reveal specific DNA hypermethylation of T cells during human hematopoietic differentiation

Project description:Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in cellular development and differentiation. A detailed map of the DNA methylation dynamics that occur during cell differentiation would contribute to decipher the molecular networks governing cell fate commitment. We used the most recent Illumina MethylationEPIC Beadchip platform to describe the genome-wide DNA methylation changes observed throughout hematopoietic maturation by analyzing multiple hematopoietic cell types at different developmental stages. We identified a plethora of DNA methylation changes that occur during human hematopoietic differentiation. Interestingly, we observed that T lymphocytes display a substantial enhancement of de novo CpG hypermethylation as compared to other hematopoietic cell populations.

Deciphering Pancreatic Islet β Cell and α Cell Maturation Pathways and Characteristic Features at the Single-Cell Level

Project description:Pancreatic β and α cells play essential roles in maintaining glucose homeostasis. However, the mechanisms by which these distinct cell populations are generated, expand, and mature during pancreas development remain unclear. In this study, we addressed this critical question by performing a single-cell transcriptomic analysis of mouse β and α cells sorted from fetal to adult stages. We discovered that β and α cells use different regulatory strategies for their maturation and that cell proliferation peaks at different developmental times. However, the quiescent and proliferative cells in both the β lineage and α lineage are synchronous in their maturation states. The heterogeneity of juvenile β cells reflects distinct cell-cycling phases, origins, and maturation states, whereas adult β cells are relatively homogeneous at the transcriptomic level. These analyses provide not only a high-resolution roadmap for islet lineage development but also insights into the mechanisms of cellular heterogeneity, cell number expansion, and maturation of both β and α cells.

Fosl2 facilitates chromatin accessibility to determine developmental events during follicular maturation [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Granulosa cells (GCs) are the most dynamically responsive cell lineage to encourage continuous folliculogenesis; however, developmental dynamics and interplay with downstream transcription circuitry remain unclear. Here, we unravel the redistribution of genome-wide chromatin areas that drive broad developmental-related transcriptomic alterations during follicular maturation in murine and porcine GCs. Distinct GC-activated accessibility regions (GAAs) at the ovulatory phase are responsible for augmenting flanking GC-involved developmental gene (GDG) expression, which are essential for transcriptional responses to developmental cues. Mechanistically, the transcription factor (TF) Fosl2 is strongly recruited to GAAs, facilitating chromatin accessibility state transition. Elevated GAA signals driven by Fosl2 loading induce a significant upregulation of adjacent GDG expression. Additionally, GC-specific Fosl2 deletion in mice perturbs GC cellularity, leading to subfertility related to reproductive aging. Together, we highlight a dynamic chromatin accessibility landscape during follicular maturation, revealing the indispensable Fosl2 function not only controls transcriptional activation via a reconfigured chromatin state, but also orchestrates intricate signaling pathways that are fundamental for ovulation and reproduction.
