Project description:Enhancers play key roles in gene regulation. However, comprehensive enhancer discovery is challenging because most enhancers, especially those affected in complex diseases, have weak effects on gene expression. Through gene regulatory network modeling, we identified that dynamic cell state transitions, a critical missing component in prevalent enhancer discovery strategies, can be utilized to improve the cells’ sensitivity to enhancer perturbation. Guided by the modeling results, we performed a mid-transition CRISPRi-based enhancer screen utilizing human embryonic stem cell definitive endoderm differentiation as a dynamic transition system. The screen discovered a comprehensive set of enhancers (4 to 9 per locus) for each of the core lineage-specifying transcription factors (TFs), including many enhancers with weak to moderate effects. Integrating the screening results with enhancer activity measurements (ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq) and three-dimensional enhancer-promoter interaction information (CTCF looping, Hi-C), we were able to develop a CTCF loop-constrained Interaction Activity (CIA) model that can better predict functional enhancers compared to models that rely on Hi-C-based enhancer-promoter contact frequency. Together, our dynamic network-guided enhancer screen and the CIA enhancer prediction model provide generalizable strategies for sensitive and more comprehensive enhancer discovery in both normal and pathological cell state transitions.

Project description:Serum-to-2i interconversion of mouse Embryonic Stem Cells (mESCs) is a valuable in vitro model for early embryonic development. To assess whether 3D chromatin organization changes during this transition, we established Capture Hi-C with target-sequence enrichment of DNase I hypersensitive sites. We detected extremely long-range intra- and inter-chromosomal interactions between a small subset of H3K27me3 marked bivalent promoters involving the Hox clusters in serum grown cells. Notably, these promoter-mediated interactions are not present in 2i ground-state pluripotent mESCs but appear upon further development into primed-like serum mESCs. Reverting serum mESCs to ground-state 2i mESCs removes these promoter-promoter interactions in a spatiotemporal manner. H3K27me3, which is largely absent at bivalent promoters in ground-state 2i mESCs, is necessary but not sufficient to establish these interactions, as confirmed by Capture Hi-C on Eed-/- serum mESCs. Our results implicate H3K27me3 and PRC2 as critical players in chromatin alteration during priming of ESCs for differentiation. To study dynamics in chromatin architecture and to characterize long-range interaction, we performed Hi-C using DpnII as the restriction enzyme, potentially reaching a genome-wide coverage at a less than 1Kb resolution. We subsequently performed enrichment of interaction by a target capture similar to the exome sequencing approach. We enriched for DNaseI hyper-sensitive sites (DHSâs) in chromatin from mESCs. Probes were designed against the union of all DHSâs of Serum and 2i mESCs. Capture Hi-C reveals Extremely Long-Range Interactions (ELRI) in Serum but not in 2i ESCs. We observed H3K27me3 as a prominent characteristic, but not exclusive feature of ELRI loci in Serum mESCs. To further elucidate the involvement of constituents of PRC1 and PRC2 in ELRI, we performed ChIP-seq experiment on Suz12 and Ring1B during serum-to-2i transition. In addition, RNA-seq was performed to compare the expression levels of genes.

Project description:Nuclear architecture underlies the transcriptional programs within the cell to establish cell identity. As previously demonstrated, long-range chromatin interactions of the Oct4 distal enhancer (DE) are correlated with active transcription in naïve state embryonic stem cells. Here, we identify and characterize extreme long range interactions of the Oct4 DE through a novel CRISPR labeling technique we developed and chromosome conformation capture to identify lethal giant larvae 2 (Llgl2) and growth factor receptor-bound protein 7 (Grb7) as putative functional interacting target genes in different chromosomes. We show that the Oct4 DE directly regulates expression of Llgl2 and Grb7 in addition to Oct4. Expression of Llgl2 and Grb7 closely correlates with the pluripotent state, where knock down of either result in loss of pluripotency, and overexpression enhances somatic cell reprogramming. We demonstrated that biologically important interactions of the Oct4 DE can occur at extreme distances that are necessary for the maintenance of the pluripotent state.

Project description:Although the locations of promoters and enhancers have been identified in several cell types, we have yet limited information on their connectivity. We developed HiCap, which combines Hi-C with promoter sequence capture, to enable genome-wide identification of regulatory interactions with single-enhancer resolution. HiCap analyses of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC) identified promoter-enhancer interactions predictive of gene expression change upon perturbation, opening up for genomic analyses of long-range gene regulation. HiCap was designed by combining Hi-C with with sequence capture (for all promoters) and carried out in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESC)

Project description:Lineage commitment is characterised by orchestrated changes in gene expression and chromatin state. Long-range elements such as enhancers coordinate lineage-specific transcriptional programmes by engaging in DNA looping interactions with target promoters. However, the target genes of most long-range elements remain unknown, hindering an integrated understanding of cis-regulatory gene control. Here, we generate a high-resolution atlas of chromosomal interactions involving ~22,000 gene promoters in human pluripotent and lineage-committed cells, identifying putative target genes for known and predicted enhancer elements. We jointly consider promoters and their associated interacting regions as “cis-regulatory units” that potentially integrate and stabilise regulatory inputs from individual elements. We reveal extensive dynamics of cis-regulatory units upon lineage commitment, including the acquisition and loss of promoter interactions, as well as chromatin state changes at preformed interactions. Finally, we show that reconfiguration of cis-regulatory units associates with changes in target gene expression. Our results therefore provide a high-resolution view of promoter interactome dynamics during lineage commitment and provide insights into the mechanisms of developmental transcriptional regulation.
