However,epigenetic remodeling during neuronal reprogram-ming has not been well reconciled with transcrip-tional regulation. Here we show that NeuroD1achieves direct neuronal conversion from mouse mi-croglia bothin vitroandin vivo. Exogenous NeuroD1initially occupies closed chromatin regions associ-ated with bivalent trimethylation of histone H3 atlysine 4 (H3K4me3) and H3K27me3 marks in micro-glia to induce neuronal gene expression. These re-gions are resolved to a monovalent H3K4me3 markat later stages of reprogramming to establish theneuronal identity. Furthermore, the transcriptionalrepressorsScrt1andMeis2are induced as NeuroD1target genes, resulting in a decrease in the expres-sion of microglial genes. In parallel, the microglialepigenetic signature in promoter and enhancerregions is erased. These findings reveal NeuroD1pioneering activity accompanied by global epige-netic remodeling for two sequential events: onset ofneuronal property acquisition and loss of the micro-glial identity during reprogramming..
