CHD7 marks TAD boundaries during neuronal differentiation [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The chromodomain helicase DNA binding protein 7 (CHD7) is a nucleosome repositioner implicated in multiple cellular processes, including neuronal differentiation. We identified CHD7 marked sites at TAD boundaries that regulate neuronal differentiation in an otic stem cell line. We showed that CHD7 co-occupied CTCF sites genome-wide. We identified CTCF+ CHD7+ sites near an essential transcription factor, Sox11, required for otic neuronal differentiation. The Sox11 promoter and 3’ untranslated region (UTR) showed CHD7 enrichment. The CHD7-marked sites at the 3’UTR displayed histone marks corresponding to active transcription that resulted in Sox11 antisense transcripts. Blocking the singular CHD7-marked site with CRISPRi decreased neurite lengths, reduced neuronal marker expression (TUBB3), and attenuated Sox11 antisense transcripts. Sox11 antisense transcripts were previously suggested to form double-stranded RNA and degrade the Sox11 transcript. Surprisingly, the level of the Sox11 sense transcripts remained unaffected after CRISPRi. We propose that CHD7 at TAD boundaries modulate the chromatin accessibility of CTCF-marked insulators, altering the 3D chromatin organization and ultimately affecting gene expression. Our results implicate a general mechanism of CHD7 in facilitating neuronal differentiation and provide insight into CHD7 dysfunction in CHARGE syndrome, an intellectual developmental disability disorder.

CHD7 binds to insulators during neuronal differentiation [CUT&Tag]

Project description:Spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are crucial for hearing, and the loss of SGNs causes hearing loss. Stem cell-based therapies offer a promising approach for SGN regeneration and require understanding the mechanisms governing SGN differentiation. We investigated the chromatin remodeler CHD7 in SGN differentiation using immortalized multipotent otic progenitor (iMOP) cells. We demonstrate that CHD7 knockdown significantly impairs neuronal differentiation. Genome-wide analysis reveals CHD7 enrichment at diverse cis-regulatory elements, with notable enrichment at sites marked by the insulator-binding protein CTCF between topologically associating domains (TADs). Insulators marked by the enrichment of CHD7 and CTCF resided near genes critical for neuronal differentiation, including Mir9-2. Targeting these regulatory regions in iMOPs with CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and activation (CRISPRa) increased miR9 transcription, irrespective of the method. The occlusion of the regulatory elements suggested that the insulators function to regulate gene expression. The study highlights CHD7 activity at insulators and underscores its importance in promoting neuronal differentiation.

CHD7 regulates otic lineage differentiation and sensory epithelium generation in human inner ear organoids

Project description:Mutations in the chromatin remodeling enzyme CHD7 cause CHARGE syndrome, which affects multiple organs including the inner ear. We investigated how CHD7 mutations affect otic development in human inner ear organoids. We found loss of CHD7 or its chromatin remodeling activity leads to complete absence of hair cells and supporting cells, which can be explained by dysregulation of key otic development-associated genes in mutant otic progenitors. Further analysis of the mutant otic progenitors suggested that CHD7 can regulate otic genes through a chromatin remodeling-independent mechanism. Results from transcriptome profiling of hair cells revealed disruption of deafness gene expression as a potential underlying mechanism of CHARGE-associated sensorineural hearing loss. Notably, co-differentiating CHD7 knockout and wild-type cells in chimeric organoids partially rescued mutant phenotypes by restoring otherwise severely dysregulated otic genes. Taken together, our results suggest that CHD7 plays a critical role in regulating human otic lineage differentiation and deafness gene expression.

CHD7 and SOX2 Act in a Common Gene Regulatory Network During Mammalian Semicircular Canal and Cochlear Development (CUT&Tag)

Project description:Inner ear morphogenesis requires tightly regulated epigenetic and transcriptional control of gene expression. CHD7, an ATP-dependent chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein, and SOX2, an SRY-related HMG box pioneer transcription factor, are known to contribute to vestibular and auditory system development, but their genetic interactions in the ear have not been explored. Here, we analyzed inner ear development and the transcriptional regulatory landscapes in mice with variable dosage of Chd7 and/or Sox2. We show that combined haploinsufficiency for Chd7 and Sox2 results in reduced otic cell proliferation, severe malformations of semicircular canals, and shortened cochlea with ectopic hair cells. Examination of mice with conditional, inducible Chd7 loss by Sox2CreER reveals a critical period (~E9.5) of susceptibility in the inner ear to combined Chd7 and Sox2 loss. Data from genome-wide RNA-sequencing and CUT&Tag studies in the otocyst show that CHD7 regulates Sox2 expression and acts early in a gene regulatory network to control expression of key otic patterning genes, including Pax2 and Otx2. CHD7 and SOX2 directly bind independently and cooperatively at transcription start sites and enhancers to regulate otic progenitor cell proliferation and function. Together, our findings reveal essential roles for Chd7 and Sox2 in the early inner ear and may be applicable for CHD7 and SOX2 related syndromic and other forms of hearing or balance disorders.

"Time-resolved quantitative proteomic analysis of the developing otic vesicle reveals putative congenital hearing loss candidates and a novel role for Tgfbi

Project description:A large number of congenital hearing loss cases have an unknown genetic etiology. So far, transcriptomic approaches have successfully identified many candidate regulators of otic development, little is known about the abundance of their protein products during the development of the inner eat. Herein we used a multiplexed quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomic approach to determine temporal trends in protein abundances during inner ear (otic) development in Xenopus. Wild type Xenopus embryos were cultured to larval stages and their otic tissues were manually dissected at five stages that represent that represent key transitions in otic morphology. The samples were processed using a bottom-up proteomic workflow and analyzed using LC-MS3.The analysis revealed dynamic expression of proteins related to cytoskeletal regulation, integrin signaling, and the extracellular matrix as inner ear structures developed. We correlated the dynamically regulated proteins in our dataset with previously published putative downstream targets of syndromic hearing loss genes SIX1 and CHD7 to identify novel candidate genes for congenital hearing loss.

CTCF blocks anti-sense transcription initiation at divergent gene promoters [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Transcription is typically divergent, initiating at closely spaced oppositely oriented core promoters to produce sense and unstable upstream antisense transcripts (uasTrx). How antisense transcription is regulated and coordinated with sense transcription is largely unknown. Here by combining acute degradation of the multi-functional transcription factor CTCF and nascent transcription measurements, we find that CTCF specifically suppresses antisense but not sense transcription at hundreds of divergent promoters, the great majority of which bear proximal CTCF binding sites. Genome editing, chromatin conformation studies and 5’ transcript mapping revealed that CTCF directly suppresses uasTrx initiation in manner independent of its chromatin architectural function. Primary transcript RNA FISH revealed co-bursting of sense and anti-sense transcripts is disfavored, suggesting CTCF-regulated competition for transcription initiation. In sum, CTCF shapes the noncoding transcriptional landscape by suppressing upstream antisense transcription.
