Loops, TADs, Compartments, and Territories are Elastic and Robust to Dramatic Nuclear Volume Swelling

ABSTRACT: Low-salt swelling of isolated chromatin fibers or nuclei has been used for decades to investigate the structural properties of chromatin. But, visible changes in chromatin appearance have not been linked to known building blocks of genome structure or features along the genome sequence. We combine low-salt swelling of isolated nuclei with genome-wide chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C) and imaging approaches to probe the effects of chromatin extension genome-wide. Photoconverted patterns on nuclei during expansion and contraction indicate that global genome structure is preserved after dramatic nuclear volume swelling, suggesting a highly elastic chromosome topology. Hi-C experiments before, during, and after nuclear swelling show changes in average contact probabilities at short length scales, reflecting the extension of the local chromatin fiber. But, surprisingly, during this large increase in nuclear volume, there is a striking maintenance of loops, TADs, active and inactive compartments, and chromosome territories. Subtle differences after expansion are observed, suggesting that the local chromatin state, protein interactions, and location in the nucleus can affect how strongly a given structure is maintained under stress. From these observations, we propose that genome topology is robust to extension of the chromatin fiber and isotropic shape change, and that this elasticity may be beneficial in physiological circumstances of changes in nuclear size and volume.

A single-cell method to map higher-order 3D genome organization in thousands of individual cells reveals structural heterogeneity in mouse ES cells

Project description:In eukaryotes, the nucleus is organized into a three dimensional structure consisting of both local interactions such as those between enhancers and promoters, and long-range higher-order structures such as nuclear bodies. This organization is central to many aspects of nuclear function, including DNA replication, transcription, and cell cycle progression. Nuclear structure intrinsically occurs within single cells; however, measuring such a broad spectrum of 3D DNA interactions on a genome-wide scale and at the single cell level has been a great challenge. To address this, we developed single-cell split-pool recognition of interactions by tag extension (scSPRITE), a new method that enables measurements of genome-wide maps of 3D DNA structure in thousands of individual nuclei. scSPRITE maximizes the number of DNA contacts detected per cell enabling high-resolution genome structure maps within each cells and is easy-to-use and cost-effective. scSPRITE accurately detects chromosome territories, active and inactive compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs), and higher-order structures within single cells. In addition, scSPRITE measures cell-to-cell heterogeneity in genome structure at different levels of resolution and shows that TADs are dynamic units of genome organization that can vary between different cells within a population. scSPRITE will improve our understanding of nuclear architecture and its relationship to nuclear function within an individual nucleus from complex cell types and tissues containing a diverse population of cells.

Retrieving Chromatin Patterns from Deep Sequencing Data Using Correlation Functions.

Project description:Robust comparison of deep-sequencing data sets is often hampered by differences in their pattern structure or signal-to-noise ratio. Here, we established multi-scale correlation evaluation (MCORE), a method to dissect and compare the genome-wide topology of chromatin features. We applied MCORE to Hi-C, ChIA-PET, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq and Bisulfite-seq data from mouse embryonic stem cells and neural cells to track the extension, transformation and spatial repositioning of chromatin domains during differentiation.

Transcriptional reprogramming of somatic cells after nuclear transfer to mouse 4-cell embryos

Project description:We have developed a nuclear transfer (NT) system in which somatic nuclei are transplanted into mouse embryos arrested at the 4-cell stage. The transplanted somatic nuclei show swelling and epigenetic reprogramming towards 4-cell-like nuclei. To assess genome-wide transcriptional reprogramming of the injected nuclei, the newly transcribed genes in NT embryos were examined by RNA-seq analyses. As a control, NT was also performed using mouse embryos at the 2-cell stage.

Single cell Hi-C reveals cell-to-cell variability in chromosome structure

Project description:Large-scale chromosome structure and spatial nuclear arrangement have been linked to control of gene expression and DNA replication and repair. Genomic techniques based on chromosome conformation capture assess contacts for millions of loci simultaneously, but do so by averaging chromosome conformations from millions of nuclei. Here we introduce single cell Hi-C, combined with genome-wide statistical analysis and structural modeling of single copy X chromosomes, to show that individual chromosomes maintain domain organisation at the megabase scale, but show variable cell-to-cell chromosome territory structures at larger scales. Despite this structural stochasticity, localisation of active gene domains to boundaries of territories is a hallmark of chromosomal conformation, affecting most domains in most nuclei. Single cell Hi-C data bridge current gaps between genomics and microscopy studies of chromosomes, demonstrating how modular organisation underlies dynamic chromosome structure, and how this structure is probabilistically linked with genome activity patterns. Mouse Th1 single-cell Hi-C maps were produced and paired-end sequenced. 10 single-cell samples and a multi-sample pool together with a population Hi-C sample are included.

Altered topology drives oncogenic programs in SDH-deficient GIST

Project description:<p>Metabolic lesions with pleiotropic effects on epigenetic regulation and other cellular processes are widely implicated in cancer, yet their oncogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency causes a subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) with DNA hyper-methylation. Here we associate this hyper-methylation with changes in chromosome topology that activate oncogenic programs. To investigate epigenetic alterations in this disease, we systematically mapped DNA methylation, CTCF insulators, enhancers and chromosome topology in KIT-mutant, PDGFRA-mutant and SDH-deficient GISTs. Although these respective subtypes share similar enhancer landscapes, we identified hundreds of putative insulators where DNA methylation replaced CTCF binding in SDH-deficient GISTs. We focused on disrupted insulators that partitions super-enhancers from FGF3, FGF4 and the KIT oncogene. Recurrent loss of this insulator alters locus topology in SDH-deficient GISTs, allowing aberrant physical interaction between enhancers and oncogenes. CRISPR-mediated excision of the corresponding CTCF motif in an SDH-intact model disrupted the boundary and up-regulated FGFs and KIT expression. Our findings reveal how a metabolic lesion destabilizes chromatin structure to facilitate the initiation and selection of epigenetic alterations that drive oncogenic programs in the absence of canonical mutations.</p>

A New Approach for Isolating Chromatin-Associated Proteins and Optimizing Chromatin Immunoprecipitation

Project description:Chromatin-associated proteins are essential for maintaining chromatin structure, regulating gene expression, and epigenetic regulation. However, isolating nuclear proteins from plants with high purity is very difficult due to significant background contamination from cytoplasmic proteins, organelle proteins, and metabolites. In the present study, we build a method for isolating chromatin-associated proteins. This method does not need to isolating nuclei, and can directlty purify DNA-protein (DNP) complex.

Loss of lamin B1 results in prolongation of S-phase and decondensation of chromosome territories in the interphase nucleus of mammalian cells

Project description:Nuclear lamin B1 constitutes one of the major structural proteins in the lamina mesh. We silenced the expression of lamin B1 by RNA interference in the colon cancer cell line DLD-1 and showed a dramatic redistribution of H3K27me3 from the periphery to a more homogeneous nuclear dispersion; in addition we observed an increased frequency of micronuclei and nuclear blebs. By 3D-FISH analyses, we demonstrate that the volume and surface of chromosome territories were significantly larger in LMNB1-depleted cells, suggesting that lamin B1 is required to maintain chromatin condensation in interphase nuclei. These changes led to a prolonged S-phase due to activation of Chk1 and telomere attrition. Finally, silencing of LMNB1 resulted in extensive changes in alternative splicing of multiple genes and in a higher number of enlarged nuclear speckles. Taken together, our results suggest a mechanistic role of the nuclear lamina in the organization of chromosome territories, maintenance of genome integrity and proper gene splicing. This dataset includes the comparison of gene transcripts between cells with silenced lamin B1 and empty vector negative control transfected cells.

Large-scale manipulation of radial positioning does not affect most aspects of genome organization

Project description:Although the spatial organization of the genome is closely linked to biological function, genome structure is highly stochastic. Within this heterogeneity, specific function-associated structural elements must be maintained, even when the nucleus is deformed due to physiological physical constraints. The radial positioning of genomic loci - their distance from the nuclear periphery - has long been considered an important feature of genome organization which is correlated with both structural elements and genomic activity. In the current study, we developed an experimental system for manipulating the radial positioning of the genome, by expressing the sperm-specific protein Prm1 in somatic cells. By microscopy, we observe that initial Prm1 nuclear foci develop within 72 hours into a large Prm1 focus occupying most of the nuclear interior, while the entire genome is driven towards the nuclear periphery, resulting in a 3-5 fold reduction in the volume that the genome occupies. Noting that this system enables isolation of a pure population of cells with reorganized nuclei, we then used Hi-C to study the effects of this perturbation. Remarkably, we find that interaction patterns are largely robust to this major nuclear reorganization, with minor changes which mostly reflect a strengthening of heterochromatin self-interactions. Our experimental system provides means for manipulating nuclear organization in a reproducible manner, potentially allowing to examine radial positioning decoupled from other features of genome organization. Highlighting the complementary nature of microscopic and genomic methods, our work further suggests a remarkable resilience of genome structure such that large-scale nuclear changes, including chromosome compression and changes in radial positioning, can occur without extensive alteration of functional genome organization.
