Title Integrated single-cell multiomics uncovers foundational regulatory mechanisms of lens development and pathology [scRNA-seq]
Organism Gallus gallus
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Ocular lens development entails epithelial to fiber cell differentiation, defects in which cause congenital cataract. We report the first single-cell multiomic atlas of lens development, leveraging snRNA-seq, snATAC-seq, and CUT&RUN-seq to discover novel mechanisms of cell fate determination and cataract-linked regulatory networks. A comprehensive profile of cis- and trans-regulatory interactions, including for the cataract-linked transcription factor MAF, is established across a temporal trajectory of fiber cell differentiation. Further, we divulge a conserved epigenetic paradigm of cellular differentiation, defined by progressive loss of H3K27 methylation writer Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). PRC2 localizes to heterochromatin domains across master-regulator transcription factor gene bodies, suggesting it safeguards epithelial cell fate. Moreover, we demonstrate that FGF hyper-stimulation in vivo leads to MAF network activation and the emergence of novel lens cell states. Collectively, these data depict a comprehensive portrait of lens fiber cell differentiation, while defining regulatory effectors of cell identity and cataract formation. 
 
Overall design Whole chicken embryo eyes were collected for snRNA-seq via the split-pool barcoding method, using the Parse Biosciences Single Cell Whole Transcriptome Kit Chemistry Version 1 (Parse Biosciences, SB2001). An eye from each of 3 chickens were pooled per condition, across the following conditions: embryonic day 4, embryonic day 5, embryonic day 4 6 hours post-retinectomy, and embryonic day 4 6 hours post-retinectomy and FGF2 treatment. All nuclei were processed in aggregate across 7 sublibraries. Sublibraries 1-3 were sequenced across 3 distinct sequencing lanes.
