Expression data of wild type, dDP mutant, and de2f1, deleted in the posterior, Drosophila 3rd instar larval eye imaginal discs

ABSTRACT: Apoptosis is an important process to eliminate cells from tissue which have incurred irreparable DNA damage. While dE2F1/dDP complexes respond to such damage by transcriptionally activating apoptotic genes, previous data suggests that activation of the previously characterized apoptotic target genes of dE2F1/dDP alone may not be the only gene regulation important for gamma irradiation-induced apoptosis. Here we report that following irradiation in dDP mutant 3rd instar larval eye imaginal discs, many genes important for oxidative phosphorylation are down-regulated, which are not down-regulated following irradiation in wild type eye discs. Biological triplicates of wild type, dDP mutant and de2f1, deleted in the posterior, eye discs were untreated or irradiated with 40Gy of gamma radiation. Total RNA was extracted by Trizol from untreated eye discs and from irradiated eye discs 4h after irradiation. RNA was column purified. PCR amplified RNAs were hybridized on Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 2.0 Array.

Project description:Genomic enhancers regulate spatio-temporal gene expression by recruiting specific combinations of transcription factors (TFs). When TFs are bound to active regulatory regions, they displace canonical nucleosomes, making these regions biochemically detectable as nucleosome-depleted regions or accessible/open chromatin. Here we ask whether open chromatin profiling can be used to identify the entire repertoire of active promoters and enhancers underlying tissue-specific gene expression during normal development and oncogenesis in vivo. To this end, we first compare two different approaches to detect open chromatin in vivo using the Drosophila eye primordium as a model system: FAIRE-seq, based on physical separation of open versus closed chromatin; and ATAC-seq, based on preferential integration of a transposon into open chromatin. We find that both methods reproducibly capture the tissue-specific chromatin activity of regulatory regions, including promoters, enhancers, and insulators. Using both techniques, we screened for regulatory regions that become ectopically active during Ras-dependent oncogenesis, and identified 3778 regions that become (over-)activated during tumor development. Next, we applied motif discovery to search for candidate transcription factors that could bind these regions and identified AP-1 and Stat92E as key regulators. We validated the importance of Stat92E in the development of the tumors by introducing a loss of function Stat92E mutant, which was sufficient to rescue the tumor phenotype. Additionally we tested if the predicted Stat92E responsive regulatory regions are genuine, using ectopic induction of JAK/STAT signaling in developing eye discs, and observed that similar chromatin changes indeed occurred. Finally, we determine that these are functionally significant regulatory changes, as nearby target genes are up- or down-regulated. In conclusion, we show that FAIRE-seq and ATAC-seq based open chromatin profiling, combined with motif discovery, is a straightforward approach to identify functional genomic regulatory regions, master regulators, and gene regulatory networks controlling complex in vivo processes.
