Chromatin remodeler ARID1A regulates gene transcription by modulating nucleosome positioning and chromatin accessibility. While ARID1A-mediated stage and lineage-restricted gene regulation during cell fate canalization remains unresolved. Using osteoclastogenesis as a model, we show that ARID1A transcriptionally safeguards the osteoclast (OC) fate canalization during proliferation-differentiation switching at single-cell resolution. Notably, ARID1A is indispensable for the transcriptional apparatus condensates formation with coactivator BRD4/lineage-specifying transcription factor (TF) PU.1 at Nfatc1 super-enhancer during safeguarding the OC fate canalization. Besides, the antagonist function between ARID1A-cBAF and BRD9-ncBAF complex during osteoclastogenesis has been validated with in vitro assay and compound mutant mouse model. Furthermore, the antagonistic function of ARID1A-"accelerator" and BRD9-"brake" both depend on coactivator BRD4-"clutch" during osteoclastogenesis. Overall, these results uncover sophisticated cooperation between chromatin remodeler ARID1A, coactivator, and lineage-specifying TF at super-enhancer of lineage master TF in a condensate manner, and antagonist between distinct BAF complexes in the proper and balanced cell fate canalization.
染色质重塑因子 ARID1A 通过调节核小体定位和染色质可及性来调节基因转录。然而,ARID1A 在细胞命运分化过程中对阶段和谱系限制的基因调控仍未得到解决。我们使用破骨细胞分化作为模型,表明 ARID1A 在单个细胞分辨率下的增殖-分化转换过程中,通过转录方式保护破骨细胞(OC)命运分化。值得注意的是,ARID1A 对于转录装置凝聚体的形成是必不可少的,在保护 OC 命运分化过程中,与共激活因子 BRD4/谱系特异性转录因子(TF)PU.1 一起形成 Nfatc1 超级增强子。此外,我们通过体外测定和化合物突变小鼠模型验证了 ARID1A-cBAF 和 BRD9-ncBAF 复合物在破骨细胞分化过程中的拮抗作用。此外,ARID1A-“加速器”和 BRD9-“刹车”的拮抗作用都依赖于破骨细胞分化过程中的共激活因子 BRD4-“离合器”。总的来说,这些结果揭示了染色质重塑因子 ARID1A、共激活因子和谱系特异性 TF 在凝聚体方式下在谱系主 TF 的超级增强子上的复杂合作,以及在适当和平衡的细胞命运分化中不同 BAF 复合物之间的拮抗作用。
