Project description:Hematopoiesis consists of step-wise commitment of multiple distinct intermediate differentiation stages before mature blood cells are generated1,2. Early progenitor cells have multiple cell fate potentials and retain plasticity to differentiate to alternative lineages, while later stages are fully committed to certain cell lineages and rarely alter their fates3,4. Although extensive studies have been performed on regulatory pathways in mature blood cells5-8, few have examined chromatin re-organization underlying the transcription programs in early progenitors of hematopoiesis. In particular, what roles chromatin organization plays in the cell fate commitment during the differentiation of early hematopoietic progenitor cells remains unclear. Here, we carried out an integrative analysis of 3D nucleome, chromatin accessibility and gene expression during early T cell development from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to CD4/CD8 double positive (DP) T cells. Analysis of these data sets revealed extensive A/B compartment flips and dynamic changes of chromatin accessibility at regulatory regions including promoters and enhancers during the development process. Remarkably, both the compartment flip and changes in chromatin accessibility display a monotonic pattern. While gradual and progressive changes in chromatin re-organization was observed at most development stages, an abrupt and striking genome-wide change in A/B compartment structure and chromatin accessibility occurred during the transition from double negative stage 2 (DN2) to DN3, which was accompanied with the loss of cell fate plasticity of DN3 to differentiate to alternative lineages, suggesting that a chromatin barrier is established at the DN3 stage to lock the cells in the T cell fate. The binding of PU.1, a key factor for the fate choice of early progenitor cells, and BCL11B, critically required for T cell commitment at late stages, was associated with increased long-distance interaction and chromatin accessibility and may coordinately contribute to the establishment of the 3D nucleome structure required for the lineage differentiation and commitment.

Project description:Hematopoiesis consists of step-wise commitment of multiple distinct intermediate differentiation stages before mature blood cells are generated. Although extensive studies have been performed on regulatory pathways in mature blood cells, few have examined chromatin reorganization underlying the changes in transcription programs from early progenitors of hematopoiesis to mature immune cells. In particular, what roles chromatin organization plays in the cell fate commitment during the differentiation of early hematopoietic progenitor cells to committed T cells remains unclear. Here, we carried out an integrative analysis of 3D nucleome, chromatin accessibility and gene expression from hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to CD4/CD8 double positive (DP) T cells. Analysis of these data sets revealed extensive reorganization of A/B compartments, topologically associating domains (TADs), and chromatin accessibility at transcriptional regulatory regions during the development process. Remarkably, all three levels of chromatin organization display a monotonic pattern of change. While gradual and progressive changes in chromatin reorganization was observed at most development stages, an abrupt genome-wide change in A/B compartment structure, TAD domain scores and chromatin accessibility occurred during the transition from double negative stage 2 (DN2) to DN3, which was accompanied with the loss of cell fate plasticity of DN3 to differentiate to alternative lineages, suggesting that a chromatin barrier is established at the DN3 stage to lock the cells in the T cell fate. This chromatin barrier may be reinforced by another genome-wide reorganization of chromatin at the DN4-to-DP transition. The binding of PU.1, a key factor for the fate choice of early progenitor cells, and BCL11B, critically required for T cell commitment at later stages, was associated with increased long-distance interaction and chromatin accessibility. Deletion of Bcl11b led to decreased chromatin interaction for BCL11B target genes, suggesting that it may contribute to the establishment of the 3D nucleome structure required for the lineage differentiation and commitment.

Project description:How chromatin reorganization coordinates differentiation and lineage commitment from hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) to mature immune cells has not been well understood. Here, we carried out an integrative analysis of chromatin accessibility, topologically associating domains, AB compartments, and gene expression from HSPCs to CD4+CD8+ T cells. We found that abrupt genome-wide changes at all three levels of chromatin organization occur during the transition from double-negative stage 2 (DN2) to DN3, accompanying the T lineage commitment. The transcription factor BCL11B, a critical regulator of T cell commitment, is associated with increased chromatin interaction, and Bcl11b deletion compromised chromatin interaction at its target genes. We propose that these large-scale and concerted changes in chromatin organization present an energy barrier to prevent the cell from reversing its fate to earlier stages or redirecting to alternatives and thus lock the cell fate into the T lineages.

Project description:Germ cells are unique in engendering totipotency, yet the mechanisms underlying this capacity remain elusive. Here, we perform comprehensive and in-depth nucleome analysis of mouse germ-cell development in vitro, encompassing pluripotent precursors, primordial germ cells (PGCs) before and after epigenetic reprogramming, and spermatogonia/spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). Although epigenetic reprogramming, including genome-wide DNA de-methylation, creates broadly open chromatin with abundant enhancer-like signatures, the augmented chromatin insulation safeguards transcriptional fidelity. These insulatory constraints are then erased en masse for spermatogonial development. Notably, despite distinguishing epigenetic programming, including global DNA re-methylation, the PGCs-to-spermatogonia/SSCs development entails further euchromatization. This accompanies substantial erasure of lamina-associated domains, generating spermatogonia/SSCs with a minimal peripheral attachment of chromatin except for pericentromeres—an architecture conserved in primates. Accordingly, faulty nucleome maturation, including persistent insulation and improper euchromatization, leads to impaired spermatogenic potential. Given that PGCs after epigenetic reprogramming serve as oogenic progenitors as well, our findings elucidate a principle for the nucleome programming that creates gametogenic progenitors in both sexes, defining a basis for nuclear totipotency.

Project description:The three-dimensional architecture of the genome affects genomic functions. Multiple genome architectures at different length scales, including chromatin loops, domains, compartments, and regions associated with nuclear lamina and nucleoli, have been discovered. However, how these structures are arranged in the same cell and how they are correlated with each other in different cell types in mammalian tissue are largely unknown. Here, we developed Multiplexed Imaging of Nucleome Architectures that measures multiscale chromatin folding, copy numbers of numerous RNA species, and associations of numerous genomic regions with nuclear lamina, nucleoli and surface of chromosomes in the same, single cells. We applied this method in mouse fetal liver, and identified de novo cell-type-specific chromatin architectures associated with gene expression, as well as chromatin organization principles independent of cell type. Polymer simulation showed that both intra-chromosomal self-associating interactions and extra-chromosomal interactions are necessary to establish the observed organization. Our experiments and modeling provide a multiscale and multi-faceted picture of chromatin folding and nucleome architectures in mammalian tissue and illustrate physical principles for maintaining chromatin organization. Here we submit our bulk RNA-sequencing data on E14.5 mouse fetal liver, used in the study to validate image-based RNA profiling results.
