Three‐dimensional genome structure shapes the recombination landscape of chromatin features during female germline stem cell development

Abstract Background During meiosis of mammalian cells, chromatin undergoes drastic reorganization. However, the dynamics of the three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin structure during the development of female germline stem cells (FGSCs) are poorly understood.

description Abstract Background During meiosis of mammalian cells, chromatin undergoes drastic reorganization. However, the dynamics of the three‐dimensional (3D) chromatin structure during the development of female germline stem cells (FGSCs) are poorly understood. Methods The high‐throughput chromosome conformation capture technique was used to probe the 3D structure of chromatin in mouse germ cells at each stage of FGSC development. Results The global 3D genome was dramatically reorganized during FGSC development. In topologically associating domains, the chromatin structure was weakened in germinal vesicle stage oocytes and still present in meiosis I stage oocytes but had vanished in meiosis II oocytes. This switch between topologically associating domains was related to the biological process of FGSC development. Moreover, we constructed a landscape of chromosome X organization, which showed that the X chromosome occupied a smaller proportion of the active (A) compartment than the autosome during FGSC development. By comparing the high‐order chromatin structure between female and male germline development, we found that 3D genome organization was remodelled by two different potential mechanisms during gamete development, in which interchromosomal interactions, compartments, and topologically associating domain were decreased during FGSC development but reorganized and recovered during spermatogenesis. Finally, we identified conserved chromatin structures between FGSC development and early embryonic development. Conclusions These results provide a valuable resource to characterize chromatin organization and for further studies of FGSC development.
