Project description:ChIP-Sequencing on Shox2-HA E12.5 and E13.5 Limb and Palate, as well as Pbx on E12.5 limb . Abstract: Vertebrate appendage patterning is programmed by Hox-TALE factors-bound regulatory elements. However, it remains enigmatic which cell lineages are commissioned by Hox-TALE factors to generate regional specific pattern and whether other Hox-TALE co-factors exist. In this study, we investigated the transcriptional mechanisms controlled by the Shox2 transcriptional regulator in limb patterning. Harnessing an osteogenic lineage-specific Shox2 inactivation approach we show that despite widespread Shox2 expression in multiple cell lineages, lack of the stylopod observed upon Shox2 deficiency is a specific result of Shox2 loss of function in the osteogenic lineage. ChIP-Seq revealed robust interaction of Shox2 with cis-regulatory enhancers clustering around skeletogenic genes that are also bound by Hox-TALE factors, supporting a lineage autonomous function of Shox2 in osteogenic lineage fate determination and skeleton patterning. Pbx ChIP-Seq further allowed the genome-wide identification of cis-regulatory modules exhibiting co-occupancy of Pbx, Meis, and Shox2 transcriptional regulators. Integrative analysis of ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq data and transgenic enhancer assays indicate that Shox2 patterns the stylopod as a repressor via interaction with enhancers active in the proximal limb mesenchyme and antagonizes the repressive function of TALE factors in osteogenesis. Shox2/TALE For ChIP-Seq, the list of libraries below, including controls, were generated [listed in the format of (antibody)-target-tissue-stage]: (α-HA)-Shox2-Limb-E12.5, (α-HA)-Shox2-Limb-E13.5, (α-HA)-Shox2-Palate-E12.5, (α-HA)-Shox2-Limb/Palate-E12.5, (α-Pbx)-Pbx-Limb-E12.5, Input (control), (α-HA)-Mixed Limb/Palate from Shox2+/+ mice-E12.5 (control). *The attached signal tracks(*.bigwig) were generated by âbdgcmp (MACS2) to filter out background signal(by filtering against the signal track obtained from (α-HA)-Mixed Limb/Palate from Shox2+/+ mice-E12.5 (control)) and subsequently convert to bigwig for analysis and visualization.

Project description:During development cell fates are specified by tightly controlled gene expression programs. PBX TALE transcription factors control gene regulatory networks (GRN) that direct vertebrate tissue patterning and organ morphogenesis. How PBX1/2 proteins achieve context-specific functions, despite widespread embryonic Pbx expression, remains elusive. In mouse limbs, mesenchymal-specific loss of PBX1/2 or of the limb regulator HAND2 results in strikingly similar phenotypes, suggesting that PBX1/2- and HAND2-dependent programs converge to control limb development. To investigate this scenario using the murine hindlimb model, we combined tissue-specific and temporally controlled mutagenesis to multi-omics approaches on dissected hindlimb buds. This resulted in the reconstruction of a GRN that is collaboratively directed by PBX1/2-HAND2, demonstrating that Pbx1-Hand2 genetically interact in vivo during pentadactylous hindlimb patterning, with PBX1 concomitantly acting as an upstream regulator of Hand2. At organismal-level resolution the GRN is active within restricted subsets of posterior-proximal hindlimb mesenchymal cells, wherein Pbx1/2 and Hand2 are co-expressed with their target genes. Profiling the binding of Pbx1 and Hand2 genome-wide across multiple tissues revealed that HAND2 can act selectively on a subset of PBX-bound regions to impart limb patterning functionality. Our research elucidates mechanisms on the limb-specific activities of PBX1/2, while informing general principles by which promiscuous transcription factors cooperate with select cofactors to instruct distinct developmental programs.

Project description:Despite the importance of Hox genes in patterning the mouse embryo, few target genes of the Hox transcription factors have been identified. To search for HoxD targets we contrasted gene expression profiles in the presence and absence of the HoxD genes in two tissues where these genes are important in embryonic patterning-the genital bud and the distal domain of the limb. The Del9 mutant, in which all nine HoxD genes are absent, shows perturbed digit and genital morphogenesis. Therefore we used Affymetrix GeneChip arrays to compare gene expression in forelimb autopods and genital buds from wild type and homozygous Del9 E12.5 embryos.

Project description:We use ATAC-seq to identify chromatin accessibility in the palatal mesenchyme of wildtype and Wnt1Cre;Meis2f/f mice at E12.5. Haploinsufficiency of MEIS2 is associated with cleft palate in humans and Meis2 inactivation leads to abnormal palate development in mice, implicating an essential role for Meis2 in palate development. However, its functional mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we found widespread Meis2 expression in the developing palate in mice. Meis2 inactivation by Wnt1Cre in cranial neural crest cells led to the cleft of the secondary palate. Importantly, about half of Wnt1Cre;Meis2f/f mice exhibited submucous cleft, providing an excellent model for studying palatal bone formation and patterning. Consistent with a complete absence of the palatal bones, integrative analyses of Meis2 ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq results identified key osteogenic genes that are regulated directly by Meis2, indicating the fundamental role of Meis2 in palatal osteogenesis. De novo motif analysis discovered that the Meis2-bound regions possess highly enriched binding motifs of several key osteogenic transcription factors particularly Shox2. Comparison of Meis2 and Shox2 ChIP-seq analyses further revealed a genome-wide co-occupancy, in addition to their co-localization in the developing palate and physical interaction, suggesting that Shox2 and Meis2 act as partners. However, while Shox2 is required for proper palatal bone formation and is a direct downstream target of Meis2, Shox2 overexpression failed to rescue the palatal bone defects in Meis2 mutant background. These results, together with the facts that Meis2 expression is associated with high osteogenic potential and is required for the chromatin accessibility of osteogenic genes, support a vital function of Meis2 in setting up the ground state for palatal osteogenesis.
