项目摘要

Project Summary Cis-regulatory elements control Cell-type-specific gene regulation via looping with their targeting genes. Therefore, mapping the 3D chromatin interactions between promoters and cis-regulatory elements will be pivotal to understand the functions of regulatory regions. Besides, many genetic variants associated with neuropsychiatric diseases reside in the putative cis-regulatory elements. They may contribute to disease by affecting regulatory sequences function, but the exact mechanisms of how they contribute to diseases via gene regulation remain unknown. Here, we aim to make substantial advances in understanding how the 3D epigenome contributes to brain development and diseases by mapping and analyzing the dynamic changes during the human prefrontal cortex development. We will first map transcriptome, chromatin accessibility, and 3D chromatin loops in six distinct cell types from the developing prefrontal cortex and perform an integrative analysis to interrogate how chromatin interaction control gene expression and development. Second, we will integrate the 3D epigenomic datasets with medical genetics resources to gain insights into cell types, genomic loci, and biological pathways that are causal to diseases, link GWAS SNPs with their target genes. Third, to establish cell-type-specific functional links between chromatin loops and target gene expression, we will test the biological consequences of distal regulatory regions interacting with promoters in iPSC models and primary cells. Our project will reveal new insight into the biological functions of the 3D epigenome in brain development and diseases.

项目摘要顺式调控元件通过与其靶基因成环来控制细胞类型特异性基因调控。因此，绘制启动子和顺式调控元件之间的3D染色质相互作用将是关键的了解监管区域的功能。此外，许多遗传变异与神经精神疾病存在于推定的顺式调节元件中。它们可能通过以下方式导致疾病：影响调节序列功能，但它们如何通过基因导致疾病的确切机制规则仍然未知。在这里，我们的目标是在理解3D如何表观基因组通过绘制和分析动态变化有助于大脑发育和疾病在人类前额皮质发育的过程中。我们将首先绘制转录组，染色质可及性， 3D染色质环在六种不同的细胞类型，从发展中的前额叶皮层，并执行整合分析以探究染色质相互作用如何控制基因表达和发育。二是将3D表观基因组数据集与医学遗传学资源相结合，以深入了解细胞类型、基因组基因座和生物学途径是疾病的原因，将GWAS SNP与其靶基因联系起来。三是为了建立染色质环和靶基因表达之间的细胞类型特异性功能联系，我们将测试在iPSC模型和原代细胞中与启动子相互作用的远端调控区的生物学后果。我们的项目将揭示大脑发育中3D表观基因组的生物学功能的新见解，疾病
