BRG1 establishes the neuroectodermal chromatin landscape to restrict dorsal cell fates

ABSTRACT: Cell fate decisions are achieved with gene expression changes driven by lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs). These TFs depend on chromatin remodelers including the BAF complex to activate target genes. BAF complex subunits are essential for development and frequently mutated in cancer. Thus, interrogating how BAF complexes contribute to cell fate decisions is critical for human health. We examined the requirement for the catalytic BAF subunit BRG1 in neural progenitor cell (NPC) specification from human embryonic stem cells. During the earliest stages of differentiation, BRG1 was required to establish chromatin accessibility at neuroectoderm-specific enhancers. BRG1 depletion resulted in abnormal NPC populations that differentially expressed neuroectodermal TFs, were more prone to neuronal differentiation, and precociously formed neural crest lineages. These findings demonstrate that BRG1 mediates NPC specification by ensuring proper expression of lineage-specific TFs and appropriate activation of their transcriptional programs.

Loss of BAF (mSWI/SNF) Chromatin-remodeling ATPase Brg1 causes multiple malformations of cortical development in mice

Project description:Mutations in genes encoding subunits of the BAF (BRG1/BRM-associated factor) complex cause various neurodevelopmental diseases. However, the underlying pathophysiology remains largely unknown. Here, we analyzed the function of Brg1, a core ATPase of BAF complexes, in the developing cerebral cortex. Loss of Brg1 causes several morphological defects resembling human malformations of cortical development (MCDs), including microcephaly, cortical dysplasia, cobblestone lissencephaly, and periventricular heterotopia. We demonstrated that neural progenitor cell (NPC) renewal, neuronal differentiation, neuronal migration, apoptotic cell death, pial basement membrane, and apical junctional complexes, which are associated with MCD formation, were impaired after Brg1 deletion. Furthermore, transcriptome profiling indicated that a large number of genes were deregulated. The deregulated genes were closely related to MCD formation, and most of these genes were bound by Brg1. Cumulatively, our study indicates an essential role of Brg1 in cortical development and provides a new possible pathogenesis underlying Brg1-based BAF complex-related neurodevelopmental disorders.

BCL7A-containing SWI/SNF/BAF complexes modulate mitochondrial bioenergetics during neural progenitor differentiation.

Project description:Mammalian SWI/SNF/BAF chromatin remodeling complexes influence cell lineage determination. While the contribution of mammalian SWI/SNF/BAF complexes in neural progenitor cell (NPC) proliferation and differentiation has been reported, little is known about the transcriptional profiles that determine neurogenesis or gliogenesis. Here we report that BCL7A is a modulator of the SWI/SNF/BAF complex and stimulates the genome-wide occupancy of the ATPase BRG1. We demonstrate that BCL7A is dispensable for SWI/SNF/BAF complex integrity, whereas it is essential to regulate Notch/Wnt pathway and mitochondrial bioenergetics in differentiating NPCs. Together, our findings uncover the unique mechanistic contribution of BCL7A-containing SWI/SNF/BAF complex in mitochondria-driven NPC commitment, thereby providing a better understanding of the cell-intrinsic transcriptional processes that connect metabolism, neuronal morphogenesis and cognitive flexibility.

Chromatin remodeler Brahma safeguards labile canalization of cardiac mesoderm differentiation

Project description:Differentiation proceeds along a continuum of increasingly fate-restricted intermediates, referred to as canalization. Canalization is essential for stabilizing cell fate, but mechanisms underlying robust canalization are unclear. Here we show that the BRG1/BRM-associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex ATPase gene Brm safeguards cell identity during directed cardiogenesis of mouse embryonic stem cells. Despite establishment of well-differentiated precardiac mesoderm, Brm-null cells predominantly became neural precursors, violating germ layer assignment. Trajectory inference showed sudden acquisition of non-mesodermal identity in Brm-null cells, consistent with a new transition state referred to as a saddle-node bifurcation. Mechanistically, loss of Brm prevented de novo accessibility of cardiac enhancers while increasing expression of neurogenic factor POU3F1, preventing expression of neural suppressor REST, and disrupting composition of BRG1 complexes. Brm mutant identity switch was overcome by increasing BMP4 levels during mesoderm induction. Mathematical modeling supports all our observations. In the mouse embryo, Brm deletion exacerbated mesoderm-deleted Brg1 mutant phenotypes, severely compromising cardiogenesis, unmasking an in vivo role for Brm. Our results reveal Brm as a compensable safeguard of the fidelity of mesoderm chromatin states, and support a model in which developmental canalization is not a rigid irreversible path, but a highly plastic trajectory.

Genome-wide chromatin binding profiles for Zic1 and Geminin during neuroectodermal cell specification

Project description:Cell intrinsic factors that control neuroectoderm specification of early embryonic cells include the nucleoprotein Geminin (Gmnn) and the Zic family of zinc finger transcription factors. Gmnn modulates chromatin state to activate neural gene expression during neural cell fate acquisition, while Gmnn deficiency in the forming neural plate disrupts transcriptional programs that control neural cell specification, neural plate patterning and neurogenesis, resulting in neural tube defects. Likewise, Zic1 over-expression promotes neural gene expression, while heterozygous deletion of Zic1/4 leads to Dandy-Walker malformation, the most common congenital cerebellar malformation. During embryonic development, Geminin and Zic1 expression is enriched in neuroectoderm from gastrula stages, with broad expression in the forming CNS during post-gastrula stages, when neural tube closure and neurogenesis are initiated. To gain a greater understanding of the molecular events that regulate neural cell specification, here we used ChIP-seq to define genome-wide chromatin binding profiles for Gmnn in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and for Gmnn and Zic1 during specification of ESCs into neuroectoderm.

Geminin promoter occupancy and Geminin-dependent histone acetylation during neuroectodermal cell specification

Project description:The nucleoprotein Geminin (Gmnn) promotes neural cell fate acquisition of embryonic stem cells, while knockdown reduces the efficiency of neural gene activation. This occurs, at least in part, through Geminin’s ability to promote histone hyperacetylation at neural genes, to activate their expression. In mouse models in vivo, Geminin deficiency in the embryonic neural tube between embryonic days 8.5-10.5 also reduces the expression of genes controlling neural specification and/or differentiation, contributing to neural tube defects. To determine where Geminin binding and Gmnn-dependent acetylation occurs throughout the genome, we performed ChIP-chip analysis (these data) and ChIP-seq analysis (GSE77246) to define Geminin-bound chromatin locations in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and in ESC-derived neuroectoderm. We also performed ChIP-chip analysis of H3K9 acetylation in ESC-derived neuroectoderm, with or without Doxycycline-dependent Gmnn knockdown, to define the requirements for Geminin activity for histone acetylation of promoters during neural fate specification.

HRP2-DPF3a-BAF complex coordinates histone modification and chromatin remodeling to regulate myogenic gene transcription [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:Functional crosstalk between histone modifications and chromatin remodeling has emerged as a key regulatory mode of transcriptional control during cell fate decisions, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that HRP2-DPF3a-BAF complex coordinates histone H3 lysine 36 methylation (H3K36me) and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling to regulate chromatin dynamic and gene transcription during myogenic differentiation. Mechanistically, through its HIV integrase binding domain (IBD), HRP2 associates with BRG1/BRM associated factor (BAF) chromatin remodeling complex by direct interaction with BAF45c (DPF3a) subunit. Through its Pro-Trp-Trp-Pro (PWWP) domain, HRP2 preferentially binds to H3K36me2. Integrative transcriptomic and cistromic analyses, coupled with ATAC-seq, reveal that HRP2 and DPF3a activate myogenic genes by increasing chromatin accessibility through recruitment of BRG1, the ATPase subunit of the BAF complex.

HRP2-DPF3a-BAF complex coordinates histone modification and chromatin remodeling to regulate myogenic gene transcription [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Functional crosstalk between histone modifications and chromatin remodeling has emerged as a key regulatory mode of transcriptional control during cell fate decisions, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that HRP2-DPF3a-BAF complex coordinates histone H3 lysine 36 methylation (H3K36me) and ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling to regulate chromatin dynamic and gene transcription during myogenic differentiation. To study the cellular and molecular function of HRP2-DPF3a-BAF complex during myogenic differentiation, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to generate gene expression profiling during myogenic differentiation under Hrp2/Dpf3a/Brg1 transient knockdown by siRNAs in C2C12. We identified multiple genes whose expression is significantly affected by Hrp2/Dpf3a/Brg1 levels.

Control of cell identity and early neural fate commitment by the enhancer module of Integrator

Project description:Lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) operate as master orchestrators of developmental processes by activating select cis-regulatory enhancers and proximal promoters. Direct DNA binding of TFs ultimately drives context-specific recruitment of the basal transcriptional machinery that comprises RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII) and a host of polymerase-associated multiprotein complexes, including the metazoan-specific Integrator complex. Integrator is primarily known to modulate RNAPII processivity and to surveil RNA integrity across coding genes. Here we show an enhancer module of Integrator that directs cell fate specification by promoting epigenetic changes and TF binding at neural enhancers. Depletion of Integrator’s INTS10 upends neural traits and derails cells towards mesenchymal identity. Commissioning of neural enhancers relies on Integrator’s enhancer module, which stabilizes SOX2 binding at chromatin upon exit from pluripotency. We propose Integrator as a functional bridge between enhancers and promoters and a main driver of early development, providing new insight into a growing family of neurodevelopmental syndromes.
