3D genome topology distinguishes molecular subgroups of medulloblastoma

ABSTRACT: Four main medulloblastoma (MB) molecular subtypes have been identified based on transcriptional, DNA methylation and genetic profiles. However, it is currently not known whether MB subtypes have their own specific 3D genome architecture. Hi-C maps were globally stable across MB subtypes. However, among the 3D genome features we tested, boundary strengths of topologically associating domains (TADs) were the best at classifying MB samples – including Group 3 and Group 4 specimens - according to their known molecular subtypes. Although boundary strength was not generally associated with differential gene expression between subtypes, we found that Group 3 and Group 4 specimens had differential TAD boundary strengths near genes that are uniquely expressed in their respective lineages of origin. Accordingly, we provide examples of TAD boundary reorganization that clearly distinguish Group 3 and 4 samples at these developmentally important genomic sites. TAD boundary strength allows classification of MB molecular subtypes, indicating that the shape of the 3D genome is unique to each molecular subtype. Genome topologies of Group 3 and 4 tumors are shaped differently at key lineage genes, but these differences are not strongly predictive of changes in gene expression. 3D genome architecture might be a fossil of the lineages of origin of MB subtypes.

Epithelial cells in 2D and 3D culture exhibit significant differences in long-range genomic interactions

Project description:Recent studies have characterized the genomic structures of many eukaryotic cells, often with a focus on their relation to gene expression. So far, these studies have largely only investigated cells grown in 2D culture, although the transcriptomes of 3D cultured cells are generally closer to their in vivo phenotype. To examine the effects of spatial constraints on chromosome conformation, we investigated the genomic architecture of mouse hepatocytes grown in 2D and 3D cultures using in situ Hi-C. Our results reveal significant differences in long-range genomic interactions, notably in compartment identity and strength as well as in TAD-TAD interactions, but only minor differences at the TAD level. RNA-seq analysis reveals an up-regulation in the 3D cultured cells of those genes involved in physiological hepatocyte functions. We find that these genes are associated with only a subset of the structural changes, suggesting that the differences in genomic structure are indeed critically important for transcriptional regulation but also that there are major structural differences owing to other functions than gene expression. Overall, our results indicate that growth in 3D significantly alters longer-range genomic interactions, which may be consequential for a subset of genes that are important for the physiological functioning of the cell.

Spatial genome re-organization between fetal and adult hematopoietic stem cells (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Fetal hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) undergo a developmental switch to become adult HSCs. The functional properties of the HSCs change dramatically during this switch, including their cycling behavior, hematopoietic lineage outputs and proliferation rate. The relationship between three-dimensional (3D) genome organization, epigenomic state, and transcriptome is poorly understood during this critical developmental transition. Here we conduct a comprehensive survey of the 3D genome, epigenome and transcriptome of fetal and adult HSCs in mouse. We found that chromosomal compartments and topologically associating domains (TAD) are largely conserved between fetal and adult HSCs. However, there is a global trend of increased compartmentalization and TAD boundary strength. In contrast, dynamics of intra-TAD chromatin interactions is much higher, involving thousands? of gene promoters and distal enhancers. Such dynamic interactions target genes involved in cell cycle, metabolism, and hematopoiesis. These developmental-stage-specific enhancer-promoter interactions appear to be mediated by different sets of transcription factors in fetal and adult HSCs, such as TCF3, MAFB, TCF7L2, and NR3C1. Loss of function studies of TCF3 confirms the role of TCF3 in mediating condition-specific enhancer looping and gene regulation in fetal HSCs. In summary, our data suggest that the fetal-to-adult transition is accompanied by extensive changes in intra-TAD chromatin interactions that target genes underlying the phenotypic differences between fetal and adult HSCs.

Widespread rearrangement of 3D chromatin organization underlies Polycomb-mediated stress-induced silencing [Hi-C]

Project description:Chromosomes of metazoan organisms are partitioned in the interphase nucleus into discrete topologically associating domains (TADs). Borders between TADs are preferentially formed in regions containing high density of active genes and clusters of architectural protein binding sites. Transcription of most genes is turned off during the heat shock response in Drosophila. Here we show that temperature stress induces relocalization of architectural proteins from TAD borders to inside TADs, and this is accompanied by a dramatic rearrangement in the 3D organization of the nucleus. TAD border strength declines, allowing for an increase in long-distance inter-TAD interactions. Similar but quantitatively weaker effects are observed upon inhibition of transcription or depletion of individual architectural proteins. New heat shock-induced inter-TAD interactions result in increased contacts among enhancers and promoters of silenced genes, which recruit Pc and form Pc bodies at the nucleolus. These results suggest that the TAD organization of metazoan genomes is plastic and can be quickly reconfigured to allow new interactions between distant sequences. Analysis of 3D chromatin organization using Hi-C in Drosophila Kc167 cells. Cells were grown at 25 C and heat shocked for 20 min at 36.5 C. Cells were also treated with flavopiridol or triptolide to inhibit transcription elongation or initiation, respectively. Cells were depeleted of Cap-H2 or Rad21 using RNAi. Finally, cells depleted of RAd21 were subjected to heat shock at 36.5 C for 20 min.

TAD Evolutionary and functional characterization reveals diversity in mammalian TAD boundary properties and function

Project description:Topological associating domains (TADs) are self-interacting genomic units crucial for shaping gene regulation patterns. Despite their importance, the extent of their evolutionary conservation and its functional implications remain largely unknown. In this study, we generate Hi-C and ChIP-seq data and compare TAD organization across four primate and four rodent species, and characterize the genetic and epigenetic properties of TAD boundaries in correspondence to their evolutionary conservation. We find 14% of all human TAD boundaries to be shared among all eight species (ultraconserved), while 15% are human-specific. Ultraconserved TAD boundaries have stronger insulation strength, CTCF binding, and enrichment of older retrotransposons, compared to species-specific boundaries. CRISPR-Cas9 knockouts of two ultraconserved boundaries in mouse models leads to tissue-specific gene expression changes and morphological phenotypes. Deletion of a human-specific boundary near the autism-related AUTS2 gene results in upregulation of this gene in neurons. Overall, our study provides pertinent TAD boundary evolutionary conservation annotations, and showcase the functional importance of TAD evolution.

Cell Line-Specific Features of 3D Chromatin Organization in Hepatocellular Carcinoma [Hi-C]

Project description:Liver cancer, particularly hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), poses a significant global threat to human lives. To advance the development of innovative diagnostic and treatment approaches, it is essential to examine the hidden features of HCC, particularly its 3D genome architecture, which is not well understood. In this study, we investigated the 3D genome organization of four HCC cell lines—Hep3B, Huh1, Huh7, and SNU449—using in situ Hi-C and ATAC-seq. Our findings revealed that HCCs had elevated long-range interactions compared to HMECs, both intra- and interchromosomal. Unexpectedly, they displayed cell line-specific compartmental modifications at the Mb scale, which could aid in determining HCC subtypes. At the sub-Mb scale, we observed a decrease in intra-TAD interactions and chromatin loops in HCCs compared to HMECs. Lastly, we discovered a correlation between gene expression and 3D chromatin architecture in SLC8A1, which encodes the sodium-calcium antiporter known to induce apoptosis. Our findings suggest that HCCs have a distinct 3D genome organization that is different from normal and other cancer cells. Overall, we take this as evidence that genome organization plays a crucial role in cancer phenotype determination. Further exploration of epigenetics in HCC will lead us to a better understanding of specific gene regulation mechanisms and uncover novel targets for cancer treatments.
