Chromatin Landscape Analysis of Wild Type and HHEX-/- ES-derived Pancreatic Progentiors

ABSTRACT: The pancreas and liver arise from a common pool of progenitors in the foregut endoderm; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage diversification are not fully understood. We combined human pluripotent stem cell guided differentiation and sequential CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening to uncover regulators of pancreatic specification. Here we report the discovery of a cell-intrinsic requirement for HHEX, a transcription factor (TF) associated with diabetes susceptibility. HHEX promotes pancreatic differentiation through cooperation with pancreatic TFs as well as common TFs like FOXA2 that are shared by both pancreas and liver differentiation programs. Furthermore, HHEX restricts differentiation plasticity, and deletion of HHEX shifts FOXA2 interaction towards cooperation with HNF4A, driving liver differentiation. Therefore, HHEX safeguards pancreatic differentiation by promoting lineage specification while simultaneously restricting cell fate plasticity, demonstrating how organ domain demarcation requires fine tuning of TF cooperation.

Transcription Landscape Analysis of Wild Type and HHEX-/- ES-derived Pancreatic Progentiors

Project description:The pancreas and liver arise from a common pool of progenitors in the foregut endoderm; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms driving this lineage diversification are not fully understood. We combined human pluripotent stem cell guided differentiation and sequential CRISPR-Cas9 loss-of-function screening to uncover regulators of pancreatic specification. Here we report the discovery an unexpected, cell-intrinsic requirement for HHEX, a transcription factor (TF) associated with diabetes susceptibility. HHEX promotes pancreatic differentiation through cooperation with pancreatic TFs as well as common TFs like FOXA2 that are shared by both pancreas and liver differentiation programs. Furthermore, HHEX restricts differentiation plasticity, and deletion of HHEX causes a shift of FOXA2 interaction towards cooperation with HNF4A to drive liver differentiation. Our findings demonstrate a critical role for the fine tuning of TF cooperation in organ domain demarcation, as exemplified by how HHEX safeguards pancreatic differentiation by simultaneously promoting lineage specification and restricting cell fate plasticity.

Cell differentiation grade determines distinct FOXA2 contributions to the cis-regulatory networks of pancreatic cancer cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Abnormal differentiation contributes to the spectrum of aberrant properties of tumor cells. Differentiation of both normal and tumor cells is controlled by regulatory networks enforced by transcription factors (TFs) involved in lineage specification. Among them, pioneer factors such as FOXA1/2, are able to bind and make accessible naïve chromatin, thus critically contributing to the establishment of gene regulatory networks. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by massive heterogeneity, with the coexistence at all disease stages of well- and poorly-differentiated cells with diverging transcriptional networks. We found that FOXA2, a TF controlling pancreas specification, was expressed in both well- and poorly-differentiated PDAC cells, but it controlled distinct gene expression programs and displayed extensively different genomic distributions because of its partnership with TFs expressed in a differentiation grade-specific manner, such as HNF1 and HOXB8/9 in well- and poorly-differentiated cells, respectively. These data suggest that pioneer TFs such as FOXA2 are versatile transcriptional regulators whose broad contribution to the gene regulatory networks of highly heterogeneous cancers such as PDACs, depends on the differential availability of partner TFs expressed in distinct tumor cells.

Single-cell epigenome analysis identifies transcriptional events controlling direct conversion of human fibroblasts to pancreatic ductal-like cells [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cell fate can be reprogrammed by ectopic expression of lineage-specific transcription factors (TF). However, the exact cell state transitions during transdifferentiation are still poorly understood. Here, we have generated pancreatic exocrine cells of ductal epithelial identity from human fibroblasts using a set of six TFs. We mapped the molecular determinants of lineage dynamics using a factor-indexing method based on single-nuclei multiome sequencing (FI-snMultiome-seq) that enables dissecting the role of each individual TF and pool of TFs in cell fate conversion. We show that transition from mesenchymal fibroblast identity to epithelial pancreatic exocrine fate involves two deterministic steps: an endodermal progenitor state defined by activation of HHEX with FOXA2 and SOX17, and a temporal GATA4 activation essential for maintenance of pancreatic cell fate program. Collectively, our data suggest that transdifferentiation – although being considered a direct cell fate conversion method – occurs through transient progenitor states orchestrated by stepwise activation of distinct TFs.

TET1 dioxygenase is required for FOXA2-associated chromatin remodeling in pancreatic beta-cell differentiation

Project description:Current knowledge about the role of epigenetic modifiers in pancreas development has been exponentially increased. However, the precise function of TET dioxygenases in pancreas specification remains poorly understood. Using a stepwise human embryonic stem cell (hESC) differentiation system, TET1/TET2/TET3 triple-knockout (TKO) cells displayed severe defects in pancreatic differentiation. Whole-genome analysis revealed TET depletion led to aberrant DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. In comparison with methylome and hydroxymethylome datasets previously generated from hESCs, we identified unique pancreas-specific hyper-methylated and hypo-hydroxymethylated regions in TKO cells, where binding of pioneer transcription factor FOXA2 was remarkably enriched. Interestingly, transduction of full-length TET1 in TKO cells effectively rescued pancreatic differentiation and the expression of PAX4, a key determinant for -cell specification. Taking these findings together with genome-wide mapping of TET1 in pancreatic progenitors, we uncovered that TET1 co-occupied at a specific subset of FOXA2-bound loci featuring high levels of active chromatin. Locus-specific DNA methylation analysis revealed significant increases of 5-methylcytosine at the PAX4 enhancer in a TET1-dependent manner, consistent with defective generation of functional beta-cells from TET1-knockout hESCs. Thus, our study not only highlights the importance of TET-dependent epigenetic regulation in pancreas development but also unveils an essential role of TET1 in establishing beta-cell identity.
