Epigenetic regulation of renal development.
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology 2019 July
Developmental changes in cell fate are tightly regulated by cell-type specific transcription factors. Chromatin reorganization during organismal development ensures dynamic access of developmental regulators to their cognate DNA sequences. Thus, understanding the epigenomic states of promoters and enhancers is of key importance. Recent years have witnessed significant advances in our knowledge of the transcriptional mechanisms of kidney development. Emerging evidence suggests that histone deacetylation by class I HDACs and H3 methylation on lysines 4, 27 and 79 play important roles in regulation of early and late gene expression in the developing kidney. Equally exciting is the realization that nephrogenesis genes in mesenchymal nephron progenitors harbor bivalent chromatin domains which resolve upon differentiation implicating chromatin bivalency in developmental control of gene expression. Here, we review current knowledge of the epigenomic states of nephric cells and current techniques used to study the dynamic chromatin states. These technological advances will provide an unprecedented view of the enhancer landscape during cell fate commitment and help in defining the complex transcriptional networks governing kidney development and disease.
