Poised enhancers regulatory activity is topologically facilitated by polycomb [RNA-seq LHX5]

ABSTRACT: Poised enhancers marked by H3K27me3 in pluripotent cells were previously proposed to facilitate the establishment of somatic expression programs upon embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. However, the functional relevance and mechanism of action of poised enhancers remain unknown. Here, we use genetic deletions to demonstrate that poised enhancers are necessary for the induction of major anterior neural regulators. Mechanistically, poised enhancers enable RNA Polymerase II recruitment to their cognate promoters upon differentiation. Interestingly, poised enhancers already establish physical interactions with their target genes in ESC in a Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) dependent manner. Loss of PRC2 led to neither the activation of poised enhancers nor the induction of their putative target genes in undifferentiated ESC. In contrast, loss of PRC2 severely and specifically compromised the induction of major anterior neural genes representing poised enhancer targets. Overall, our work illuminates a novel function for polycomb proteins, which we propose facilitate neural induction by providing major anterior neural loci with a permissive regulatory topology.

PRC2 facilitates the regulatory topology required for poised enhancer function during pluripotent stem cell differentiation [4C-seq]

The chromatin and regulatory properties of pluripotency-associated poised enhancers are conserved in vivo [HiChIP]

Project description:Transcriptional and phenotypic robustness during development is believed to require complex regulatory landscapes whereby multiple enhancers redundantly control the expression of major cell identity genes. In contrast, we previously described a limited and genetically distinct set of distal regulatory elements, known as poised enhancers (PEs), that control the induction of genes involved in early brain development in a hierarchical and non-redundant manner. Before becoming activated in neural progenitors, PEs are already bookmarked in pluripotent cells with unique chromatin and topological features that could contribute to their privileged regulatory properties. However, since PEs were originally identified and subsequently characterized using embryonic stem cells (ESC) as in an in vitro differentiation system, it is currently unknown whether PEs are functionally conserved in vivo. Here, we generate and mine various types of genomic data to conclusively show that the epigenetic and 3D structural features of PEs are conserved among pluripotent cells both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, by genetically disrupting evolutionary conserved PEs in mouse and chicken embryos, we demonstrate that these regulatory elements play essential and non-redundant roles during the induction of major anterior neural genes in vivo.

The Polycomb group mutant esc leads to augmented the levels of paused Pol II in the Drosophila embryo.

Project description:The role of Polycomb group (PcG) was studied on RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) pausing phenomenon. Wild type and Polycomb mutant (esc) embryos were used for ChIP-Seq experiments using Pol II and histone methylation antibodies. Enhanced Pol II occupancy was observed for thousands of genes in esc mutant embryos, including genes not known to be bound by PRC2 or having H3K27me3 associated. Most of these genes exhibit a concomitant reduction in H3K27me3 and increase in H3K4me3 at promoter-proximal regions. Silent genes lacking promoter-associated paused Pol II in wild-type embryos are converted into âpoisedâ genes with paused Pol II in esc mutants. We suggest that this conversion of silent genes into poised genes might render differentiated cell types susceptible to switches in identity in PcG mutants. ChIP-Seq data was generated for antibodies against Pol-II, H3K4me3, H3K27me3 in both wild type and esc mutant Drosophila embryos (0-2hr, 8-12hr, and 18-24hr embryos). In addition GRO-Seq data was generated for 18-24hr esc mutant embryos.

Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 and REST-associated histone deacetylases are independent pathways toward a mature neuronal phenotype.

Project description:These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that REST and Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 function cooperatively in undifferentiated ESCs. Our results showed that a majority of REST-bound genomic regions were not associated with H3K27me3 enrichment and loss of H3K27me3 enrichment was not a general observation in REST -/- ESCs. These results support the conclusion that REST and PRC2 function independently in ESCs and similarly contribute to maintaing a transcriptionally poised state through antagonism of H3K4me3. Examination of REST-bound regions in undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC), and a comparison of H3K27me3 distribution between WT and REST-/- ESCs.

Genome-wide analysis identifies a functional association of Tet1 and Polycomb PRC2 in mouse embryonic stem cells but not in differentiated tissues

Project description:Recent studies have analyzed the distribution and role of 5-hydroxymethylcytosin (5hmC) in Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC). However, DNA hydroxymethylation occurs also in differentiated cells and it is significantly deregulated in cancer. Here we mapped 5hmC genome-wide profile in pluripotent ES cells in comparison to embryonic and adult differentiated cells. Comparative analysis of 5hmC genomic distribution with respect to gene expression reveals that 5hmC is enriched on the gene body of genes expressed at medium/high level and on TSS of genes not expressed or expressed at low level independently from the cell type. ESC showed a significant enrichment of DNA hydroxymethylation in active enhancers and bivalent promoters with respect to more differentiated cells as well as preferential association of Tet1 and 5hmC with promoter bound by Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2). Furthermore, we show that in ESC PRC2 interacts with Tet1 and it is required for Tet1 recruitment to the chromatin and 5hmC deposition at developmental genes. Examination of 5hmC in ESC, MEF, Brain, Liver, shGFP ESC, and shSuz12ESC, and examination of expression in shGFP ESC and shSuz12ESC.
