Gene expression differences among primates are associated with changes in a histone epigenetic modification

Project description:Changes in gene regulation are thought to play an important role in speciation and adaptation, especially in primates. However, we still know relatively little about the mechanisms underlying regulatory evolution. In particular, the extent to which epigenetic modifications underlie gene expression differences between primates is not yet known. Our study focuses on an epigenetic histone modification, H3K4me3, which is thought to promote transcription. To investigate the contribution of H3K4me3 to regulatory differences between species, we collected gene expression data and identified H3K4me3-associated genomic regions in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques, using three cell lines from each species. We found strong evidence for conservation of H3K4me3 localization in primates. Moreover, regardless of species, H3K4me3 is consistently enriched near annotated transcription start sites (TSS), and highly expressed genes are more likely than lowly expressed genes to have the histone modification near their TSS. Interestingly, we observed an enrichment of interspecies differences in H3K4me3 at the TSS of genes that are differentially expressed between species. We estimate that as much as 7% of gene expression differences between the LCLs of humans, chimpanzees, and rhesus macaques may be explained, at least in part, by changes in the status of H3K4me3 histone modifications. Our results suggest a modest, yet important role for epigenetic changes in gene expression differences between primates. Examination of H3K4me3 profiles in lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) from three primate species (human, chimpanzee, and rhesus macaque), using 3 samples from each species, compared to a pooled input control from each species. Expression profiling was also done in the same LCL samples.

Molecular specification of cell types underlying central and peripheral vision in primates (macaque peripheral single cell RNA-seq)

Project description:Among mammals, only primates including human possess a small central retinal region called the fovea, which mediates high acuity vision. As other mammals lack a fovea, molecular bases of its specialized function and dysfunction in retinal diseases remain poorly understood. By analyzing >165,000 single-cell transcriptomes from macaque fovea and peripheral retina, we identified and molecularly characterized >60 major cell types in each region. A few cell types are unique to each region, and there are also substantial differences in proportions and gene expression between corresponding types in the two areas, some of which can be related to functional differences. Comparison of macaque and mouse retinal taxonomies reveals both similarities and differences between species. Many molecular features of macaque retinal cell types are conserved in two other primates, marmosets and humans, and key human retinal disease-associated genes are expressed in specific macaque cell types

Divergence in alternative polyadenylation between humans and chimpanzees contributes to gene regulatory differences between species

Project description:Differences in gene regulation contribute to phenotypic differences between humans and other primates. While co-transcriptional gene regulatory mechanisms such as alternative polyadenylation (APA) can help explain how variation in gene regulation manifests, such mechanisms remain understudied. We measured polyadenylation site (PAS) usage in a panel of 6 human and 6 chimpanzee lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). While APA is largely conserved between humans and chimpanzees, genes with divergent APA patterns are enriched among differentially expressed and differentially translated genes. Differential usage of 3’ UTR and intronic PAS are both significantly correlated with differential mRNA expression effect sizes but in opposite directions. For many genes, there is one PAS dominant, meaning it is used much more often than others. The dominant PAS for these gene is overwhelmingly shared between species, however, differences in dominant PAS are enriched for genes with expression differences. Finally, through post-translational mechanisms, we believe APA contributes to genes differentially expressed at the protein level but not in mRNA. As this is the first primate comparative study of APA, our study establishes APA as a key mechanism underlying the genetic regulation of gene and protein expression levels in primates.
