Long-range phasing of dynamic, tissue-specific and allele-specific regulatory elements

ABSTRACT: Epigenomic maps identify gene regulatory elements by their chromatin state. However, prevailing short-read sequencing methods cannot effectively distinguish alleles, evaluate the interdependence of elements in a locus or capture single-molecule dynamics. Here, we apply targeted nanopore sequencing to profile chromatin accessibility and DNA methylation on contiguous ~100-kb DNA molecules that span loci relevant to development, immunity and imprinting. We detect promoters, enhancers, insulators and transcription factor footprints on single molecules based on exogenous GpC methylation. We infer relationships among dynamic elements within immune loci, and order successive remodeling events during T cell stimulation. Finally, we phase primary sequence and regulatory elements across the H19/IGF2 locus, uncovering primate-specific features. These include a segmental duplication that stabilizes the imprinting control region and a noncanonical enhancer that drives biallelic IGF2 expression in specific contexts. Our study advances emerging strategies for phasing gene regulatory landscapes and reveals a mechanism that overrides IGF2 imprinting in human cells.

Genomic context sensitizes regulatory elements to genetic disruption [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Enhancer function is frequently investigated piecemeal using truncated reporter assays or single deletion analysis, thus it remains unclear to what extent their function is influenced by surrounding genomic context. Using our Big-IN technology for targeted integration of large DNAs, we analyzed the regulatory architecture of the Igf2/H19 locus, a paradigmatic model of enhancer selectivity. We assembled payloads containing a 157-kb functional Igf2/H19 locus and engineered mutations to genetically direct CTCF occupancy at the imprinting control region (ICR) that switches the target gene of the H19 enhancer cluster. Contrasting the activity of payloads delivered to the endogenous locus or to a safe harbor locus (Hprt) revealed that the functional elements comprising the Igf2/H19 locus are highly sensitive to their native context. Exchanging components of the Igf2/H19 locus with the well-studied Sox2 locus showed that the H19 enhancer cluster in particular functioned poorly out of context, and required its native surroundings to activate Sox2 expression. Conversely, the Sox2 locus control region (LCR) could activate both Igf2 and H19 outside its native context, but its activity was only partially modulated by CTCF occupancy at the ICR. Analysis of regulatory DNA actuation across different cell types revealed that, while the H19 enhancers are tightly coordinated within their native locus, the Sox2 LCR acts more independently. We show that these enhancer clusters typify broader classes of loci genome-wide. Our results show that unexpected dependencies may influence even the most studied functional elements, and our synthetic regulatory genomics approach permits large-scale manipulation of complete loci to investigate how locus architecture relates to function.

Loss of imprinting mutations define both distinct and overlapping roles for misexpression of IGF2 and H19 lncRNA

Project description:Imprinted genes occur in discrete clusters that are coordinately regulated by shared DNA elements. H19 and Igf2 are linked imprinted genes that play critical roles in development. Loss of imprinting at the IGF2/H19 locus is associated with Beckwith Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS). Here we use comprehensive genetic and genomic analyses to follow muscle development in a mouse model of BWS to dissect the separate and shared roles for Igf2 and H19 in the disease phenotype. We show that LOI results in defects in muscle differentiation and hypertrophy and we identify primary downstream targets of Igf2 (MAPK signaling) and of H19 (AKT/mTOR signaling). Moreover, we demonstrate instances where H19 and Igf2 misexpression work separately, cooperatively, and also antagonistically to establish the disease phenotype. This study underscores the fact that LOI phenotypes are multigenic and complex interactions contribute to disease outcomes.

Simultaneous measurement of chromatin accessibility, DNA methylation, and nucleosome phasing in single cells

Project description:Gaining insights into the regulatory mechanisms that underlie the pervasive transcriptional variation observed between individual cells necessitates the development of methods that measure chromatin organization in single cells. Nucleosome Occupancy and Methylome-sequencing (NOMe-seq) employs a GpC methyltransferase to detect accessible chromatin and has been used to map nucleosome positioning and DNA methylation genome-wide in bulk samples. Here I provide proof-of-principle that NOMe-seq can be adapted to measure chromatin accessibility and endogenous DNA methylation in single cells (scNOMe-seq). scNOMe-seq recovered characteristic accessibility and DNA methylation patterns at DNase Hypersensitive sites and enabled direct estimation of the number of accessible DHS sites within an individual cell. In addition, scNOMe-seq provided high resolution of chromatin accessibility within individual loci which was exploited to detect footprints of CTCF binding and to estimate the average nucleosome phasing distances in single cells.

Imprinting Affy

Project description:Murine long-term hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), short-term HSCs and multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs) were isolated from bone marrow and expression profiled on Affy chips. The behavior of maternal-specific imprinting genes, particularly in the H19-Igf2 locus, was focused on, to see if any might be involved in maintaining quiescence of long-term stem cells.

Characterization of epigenetically silenced microRNAs in liver cancer cells

Project description:Numerous studies have described the critical role played by microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer progression and the potential of these small non-coding RNAs for diagnostic or therapeutic applications. However, the mechanisms responsible for the altered expression of miRNAs in malignant cells remain poorly understood. Herein, via epigenetic unmasking, we identified a group of miRNAs located in the imprinted delta like non-canonical Notch ligand 1 (DLK1)-maternally expressed 3 (MEG3) locus that were repressed in hepatic tumor cells. Notably, miR-493-5p epigenetic silencing was correlated with hypermethylation of the MEG3-differentially regulated region (DMR) in liver cancer cell lines and tumor tissues from patients. Experimental rescue of miR-493-5p promoted an anti-cancer response by hindering hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell growth in vitro and tumor progression in vivo. We found that miR-493-5p mediated part of its tumor-suppressor activity by abrogating overexpression of insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and the IGF2-derived intronic oncomir miR-483-3p in HCC cells characterized by IGF2 loss of imprinting (LOI). In summary, this study describes an unknown miRNA-dependent regulatory mechanism between two distinct imprinted loci and a possible therapeutic window for liver cancer patients exhibiting IGF2-miR-483 LOI and amplification.
