abstract = {Epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression programs
during neurogenesis, but the extent of epigenetic remodeling
during human cortical development remains unknown. Here, we
characterize the epigenetic landscape of the human
developing neocortex by leveraging Epi-CyTOF, a
mass-cytometry-based approach for the simultaneous
single-cell analysis of more than 30 epigenetic marks. We
identify Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated
H3K27me3 as the modification with the strongest
cell-type-specific enrichment. Inhibition of PRC2 in human
cortical organoids resulted in a shift of neural progenitor
cell (NPC) proliferation toward differentiation.
Cell-type-specific profiling of H3K27me3 identified neuronal
differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) genes in the
human neocortex. PRC2 inhibition resulted in increased
production of the ECM proteins Syndecan 1 and laminin alpha
1. Overall, this study comprehensively characterizes the
epigenetic state of specific neural cell types and
highlights a novel role for H3K27me3 in regulating the ECM
composition in the human developing neocortex.},
