Project description:In mammals, extensive chromatin reorganization is essential for reprogramming terminally committed gametes to a totipotent state during preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its dynamics in this period remain unexplored. Here we report a genome-wide map of accessible chromatin in mouse preimplantation embryos using an improved assay for transposase-accessible chromatin with high throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) approach with CRISPR/Cas9-assisted mitochondrial DNA depletion. We show that despite extensive parental asymmetry in DNA methylomes, the chromatin accessibility between the parental genomes is globally comparable after major zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Accessible chromatin in early embryos is widely shaped by transposable elements and overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences. Unexpectedly, accessible chromatin is also found near the transcription end sites of active genes. By integrating the maps of cis-regulatory elements and single-cell transcriptomes, we construct the regulatory network of early development, which helps to identify the key modulators for lineage specification. Finally, we find that the activities of cis-regulatory elements and their associated open chromatin diminished before major ZGA. Surprisingly, we observed many loci showing non-canonical, large open chromatin domains over the entire transcribed units in minor ZGA, supporting the presence of an unusually permissive chromatin state. Together, these data reveal a unique spatiotemporal chromatin configuration that accompanies early mammalian development. Mouse preimplantation embryos were obtained from crosses of C57BL/6N and DBA/2N. RNA-seq was performed in these embryos at various stages in preimplantation development.

Project description:Upon fertilization, drastic chromatin reorganization occurs during human preimplantation development. However, the global chromatin landscape and its molecular dynamics in this period remain largely unexplored. Deciphering such process is crucial for understanding both early human development and in vitro fertilization. Here, we investigated genome-wide chromatin accessibility in human preimplantation embryos by employing an improved ATAC-seq that uses as few as 20 cells. We found widespread accessible chromatin in early human embryos that overlaps extensively with putative cis-regulatory sequences and transposable elements. Integrative analyses showed both conservation and divergence in regulatory circuitry between human and mouse early development, and between naïve human pluripotency in vivo and human embryonic stem cells. Surprisingly, we also found widespread open chromatin at the 2-cell stage despite its minimal transcription activities. Such accessible chromatin loci are readily found at CpG-rich promoters. Unexpectedly, many others are located in distal regions enriched for transcription factor binding sites and overlap with partially methylated domains (PMDs) in human oocytes. A large portion of these regions then rapidly become inaccessible upon zygotic genome activation (ZGA). Importantly, such drastic transition of chromatin accessibility during ZGA is well conserved in mouse embryos. Furthermore, it strongly correlates with the reprogramming of non-canonical H3K4me3 (ncH3K4me3), a form of histone mark that is uniquely present in oocytes and pre-ZGA embryos and contributes to genome silencing. Finally, both the reprogramming of chromatin accessibility and ncH3K4me3 during ZGA is completely blocked upon transcription inhibition, indicating a critical role of zygotic transcription in shaping early epigenomes. Together, these data revealed conserved chromatin state transition during ZGA in human and mouse early development.

Project description:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA) marks the beginning of the embryonic program for a totipotent embryo, which gives rise to inner cell mass (ICM), where pluripotent epiblast arises, and extraembryonic trophectoderm. While much has been learned about pluripotency regulation, how ZGA is connected to the first lineage segregation in early embryos remains elusive. Here, we investigated the role of nuclear receptor transcription factors (NR TFs), whose motifs are highly enriched in accessible chromatin at the 2-cell (2C) to 8-cell (8C) stages after ZGA. We found NR5A2, an NR TF highly induced upon ZGA, is required for early development. Genome-wide chromatin binding in 2C and 8C embryos showed NR5A2 bound cis-regulatory elements which strongly enrich B1 elements where its motif is embedded. RNA-seq showed while the zygotic genome was largely activated at the 2C stage, 4-8C-specific gene activation was substantially impaired in Nr5a2 KD embryos. At the 8C stage, NR5A2 preferentially regulated its targets including a subset of early ICM genes. Consistently, NR5A2 was required for opening 8C-specific binding sites. Interestingly, while NR5A2’s 2C-binding sites are largely closed in blastocyst, 8C-specific binding sites tend to stay open and are bound by master pluripotency TFs (NANOG, SOX2, and OCT4) in blastocyst or ESC. Further analyses showed NR5A2 regulates early ICM genes at the 8C stage, master pluripotency TFs regulate both early and late ICM genes at later stages. Taken together, these data identify NR5A2 as a key regulator in totipotent embryos that connects ZGA to the first lineage segregation in early mouse development.

Project description:We report a comprehensive DNA accessibility profile of the Demosponge species Amphimedon queenslandica using Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC-seq) through six embryonic developmental stages, a larval stage and adult stage. We assessed the dynamics of chromatin accessibility and identified 40,218 consensus peaks, 4,751 of them were differentially accessible in at least one developmental stage. Cis-regulatory elements were more dynamically regulated while proximal elements were more likely to be constitutively active. Furthermore, we identify a shift towards repressive chromatin in mid and late developmental stages which coincide with the increase in expression of genes of Metazoan origin. Finally, we show that cis-regulatory regions are differentially enriched in different Transcription Factor binding sites (TFBS) which demarcate three main stages of development and importantly, they are predictive of cis-regulatory regions in other animal species but not in Capsaspora owczarzaki, a close relative of animals.
