Hybrid mice reveal parent-of-origin and cis- and trans-regulatory effects in the retina

ABSTRACT: A fundamental challenge in genomics is to map DNA sequence variants onto changes in gene expression. Gene expression is regulated by cis-regulatory elements (CREs, i.e., enhancers, promoters, and silencers) and the trans factors (e.g., transcription factors) that act upon them. A powerful approach to dissecting cis and trans effects is to compare F1 hybrids with F0 homozygotes. Using this approach and taking advantage of the high frequency of polymorphisms in wild-derived inbred Cast/EiJ mice relative to the reference strain C57BL/6J, we conducted allele-specific mRNA-seq analysis in the adult mouse retina, a disease-relevant neural tissue. We found that cis effects account for the bulk of gene regulatory divergence in the retina. Many CREs contained functional (i.e., activating or silencing) cis-regulatory variants mapping onto altered expression of genes, including genes associated with retinal disease. By comparing our retinal data with previously published liver data, we found that most of the cis effects identified were tissue-specific. Lastly, by comparing reciprocal F1 hybrids, we identified evidence of imprinting in the retina for the first time. Our study provides a framework and resource for mapping cis-regulatory variants onto changes in gene expression, and underscores the importance of studying cis-regulatory variants in the context of retinal disease.

Our study provides a framework and resource for mapping cis-regulatory variants onto changes in gene expression, and underscores the importance of studying cis-regulatory variants in the context of retinal disease. Retinas from four classes of 8 week old male mice were collected: F0 C57BL/6J (B6), F0 Cast/EiJ (Cast), F1 B6xCast, and F1 CastxB6. Three replicates per class were generated. Each replicate consisted of a pool of 6-8 retinas. The mRNA-seq was conducted with paired-end 2x101 sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. One lane of sequencing was run for all twelve samples. An additional lane of sequencing was run for the six F1 samples.

The role of cis regulatory evolution in Zea Mays domestication

Project description:Modification of cis regulatory elements to produce differences in gene expression level, localization, and timing is an important mechanism by which organisms evolve divergent adaptations. To examine gene regulatory change during the domestication of maize from its wild progenitor, teosinte, we assessed allele-specific expression in a collection of maize and teosinte inbreds and their F1 hybrids using three tissues from different developmental stages. Our use of F1 hybrids represents the first study in a domesticated crop and wild progenitor that dissects cis and trans regulatory effects to examine characteristics of genes under various cis and trans regulatory regimes. We find evidence for consistent cis regulatory divergence that differentiates maize from teosinte in approximately 4% of genes. These genes are significantly correlated with genes under selection during domestication and crop improvement, suggesting an important role for cis regulatory elements in maize evolution. We assayed genome-wide cis and trans regulatory differences between maize and its wild progenitor, teosinte, using deep RNA sequencing in F1 hybrid and parent inbred lines for three tissue types (ear, leaf and stem) followed by assessment of allele-specific gene expression.

Multi-omic Analysis of Developing Human Retina and Organoids Reveals Cell-Specific Cis-Regulatory Elements and Mechanisms of Non-Coding Genetic Disease Risk.

Project description:Cis-regulatory elements (CREs) play a critical role in the development, maintenance, and disease-states of all human cell types. In the human retina, CREs have been implicated in a variety of inherited retinal disorders. To characterize cell-class-specific CREs in the human retina and elucidate their potential functions in development and disease, we performed single-nucleus (sn)ATAC-seq and snRNA-seq on the developing and adult human retina and on human retinal organoids. These analyses allowed us to identify cell-class-specific CREs, enriched transcription factor binding motifs, putative target genes, and to examine how these features change over development. By comparing DNA accessibility between the human retina and retinal organoids we found that CREs in organoids are highly correlated at the single-cell level, validating the use of organoids as a model for studying disease-associated CREs. As a proof of concept, we studied the function of a disease-associated CRE at 5q14.3 in organoids, identifying its principal target gene as the miR-9-2 primary transcript and demonstrating a dual role for this CRE in regulating neurogenesis and gene regulatory programs in mature glia. This study provides a rich resource for characterizing cell-class-specific CREs in the human retina and showcases retinal organoids as a model in which to study the function of retinal CREs that influence retinal development and disease.

RNA-seq on DGRP lines and F1 crosses

Project description:We performed mRNA sequencing of reciprocal F1 female hybrids from two crosses (362/765 and 517/765) and the parental DGRP lines (362, 517 and 765). Specifically, we aimed to identify whether transcripts predicted to be regulated by cis-eQTLs exhibit a significant allele-specific bias in gene expression. Since both alleles act in the cross in the same trans environment, differential expression in the F1 is a direct measure of cis-regulatory activity.

Cis and Trans Gene Transcription Regulatory Mechanisms Underpin Variation of a Maize Agronomic Trait

Project description:P1 is the major QTL for maysin and chlorogenic acid accumulation in silk. Both compounds were important for plant defenses. Silk is an important reproductive organ that is critical for good seed setting in corn ear and needs to be protected against various stresses, therefore, metabolics compounds (ex: phenolics) were highly enriched in silk. Here we characterize transcriptome changes in maize protoplast, and natural variants of P1 silks, and pericards to characterize the regulatory landscape. Also we evaluated profiles of silk in B73 x A632 hybrids in order to cis and trans specific effect driven by P1 in maize. Our study identifies new P1 targets in the silk and protoplast. Together with the RNA-seq data (P1-rr vs P1-ww in silk and pericarp and protoplast 35S:P1 vs empty vector control), we observed new P1 functions in silk that were not observed in pericarp. Also, Protoplast and silk ChIP-seq in F1 silk, as well as DAP-seq analysis of P1 - shows specific P1 targets with highlight cis and trans effect on the F1 hybrids.

Comparative 3D genome analysis between neural retina and RPE reveals differential cis-regulatory interactions at retinal disease loci [HiChIP]

Project description:Vision depends on the functional interplay between the photoreceptor cells of the neural retina and the supporting cells of the underlying retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Many genes involved in inherited retinal diseases (IRD) display highly specific spatiotemporal expression within these interconnected retinal components through the local recruitment of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) in 3D nuclear space. To understand the role of differential chromatin architecture in establishing tissue-specific expression patterns at IRD loci in the human neural retina and the RPE, we mapped genome-wide chromatin interactions by applying in situ Hi-C and H3K4me3 HiChIP to human adult post-mortem donor retinas. A comparative 3D genome analysis between neural retina and RPE revealed that almost 60% of known IRD genes were marked by differential cis-regulatory interactions or 3D genome structure. Furthermore, we zoomed in on tissue-specific chromatin interactions at the ABCA4 locus, which is implicated in the most common autosomal recessive IRD. We constructed high-resolution ABCA4 interaction profiles using UMI-4C, which, upon integration with bulk and single-cell epigenomic datasets and in vivo enhancer assays in zebrafish, revealed tissue-specific CREs for ABCA4. In summary, through extensive comparative 3D genome mapping, based on genome-wide (Hi-C), promoter-centric (HiChIP) and locus-specific (UMI-4C) assays of human neural retina and RPE, we have shown that gene regulation at key IRD loci is likely mediated by tissue-specific chromatin interactions. These findings do not only provide insight into tissue-specific regulatory landscapes at retinal disease loci, but also delineate the search space for genomic variation underlying unsolved IRD.
