Master Transcription Factors and Mediator Establish Super-Enhancers at Key Cell Identity Genes [ChIP-Seq]

ABSTRACT: The master transcription factors Oct4, Sox2 and Nanog bind enhancer elements and recruit the Mediator co-activator to activate much of the gene expression program of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We report here that the ESC master transcription factors and Mediator form “super-enhancers” at most genes known to control the pluripotent state, including those encoding the master transcription factors themselves. These super-enhancers consist of extraordinarily large genomic domains occupied by exceptional amounts of Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Klf4, Esrrb and Mediator. Super-enhancers stimulate considerably higher transcription than typical enhancers in vivo and in reporter vectors. Reduced levels of Oct4 or Mediator cause preferential loss of expression of super-enhancer-associated genes relative to other genes, suggesting how changes in gene expression programs might be accomplished during development. In other more differentiated cells, super-enhancers containing cell-type-specific master transcription factors are also found at genes that define cell identity. These results implicate super-enhancers in the control of mammalian cell identity and differentiation. ChIP-Seq and controls associated with Super-Enhancers in murine cell types

Transcriptional super-enhancers connected to cell identity and disease

Project description:Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that control and define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles super-enhancers play in biology would be afforded by knowing the constellation of factors that constitute these domains and by identifying super-enhancers across the spectrum of human cell types. We describe here the population of transcription factors, cofactors, chromatin regulators and core transcription apparatus that occupy super-enhancers in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and evidence that super-enhancers are highly transcribed. We then use epigenomic data to produce a catalogue of super-enhancers in a broad range of human cell types. These super-enhancer domains are associated with genes encoding master transcription factors and other components that play important roles in the biology of these cells. Interestingly, sequence variation associated with a broad spectrum of diseases is especially enriched in the super-enhancers of disease-relevant cell types. Furthermore, we find that cancer cells generate super-enhancers at oncogenes and other genes that play important roles in tumor pathogenesis. We discuss these insights and their implications for future study of human health and disease.

The developmental potential of iPSCs is greatly influenced by the selection of the reprogramming factors

Project description:Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are commonly generated by transduction of Oct4, Sox2, Klf4 and Myc (OSKM) into somatic cells. Though iPSCs are pluripotent, they frequently exhibit high variation in their quality as measured by chimera contribution and tetraploid (4n) complementation. Thus, improving the quality of iPSCs is an indispensable prerequisite for future iPSC-based therapy. Here we show that one major determinant for iPSCs quality is the combination of reprograming factor selected. Ectopic expression of Sall4, Nanog, Esrrb and Lin28 (SNEL) in MEFs efficiently generated high quality iPSCs as compared to other combinations of factors. SNEL-iPSCs produced approximately 5 times more efficiently M-bM-^@M-^\all-iPSCM-bM-^@M-^] mice compared to OSKM-iPSCs. While differentially methylated regions, transcript number of master regulators, establishment of ESC-specific super enhancers, and global aneuploidy were comparable between the lines, aberrant expression of 1,765 genes, trisomy of chromosome 8 and abnormal H2A.X deposition were frequently observed in poor quality OSK-iPSCs and OSKM-iPSCs.

Control of Embryonic Stem Cell State by Mediator and Cohesin (Illumina ChIP-Seq data)

Project description:The key transcription factors that control the embryonic stem cell gene expression program have been identified, but how they function to implement this program is not well understood. While screening for genes essential for maintenance of ES cell state, we identified many components of the Mediator and Cohesin complexes. Mediator and Cohesin were found to physically and functionally connect the enhancers and core promoters of active genes. An ES cell Mediator complex was found to copurify with Cohesin and its loading factor Nipbl, and normal levels of these proteins were essential for expression of the genes they occupy and for maintenance of ES cell state.

Convergence of developmental and oncogenic signaling pathways at transcriptional super-enhancers

Project description:Super-enhancers and stretch enhancers (SEs) drive expression of genes that play prominent roles in normal and disease cells, but the functional importance of these clustered enhancer elements is poorly understood, so it is not clear why genes key to cell identity have evolved regulation by such elements. Here we show that super-enhancers consist of functional constituent units that concentrate multiple developmental signaling pathways at key pluripotency genes in embryonic stem cells and confer responsiveness to signaling of their associated genes. Cancer cells frequently acquire SEs at genes that promote tumorigenesis, and we show that these genes are especially sensitive to perturbation of oncogenic signaling pathways. Super-enhancers thus provide a platform for signaling pathways to regulate genes that control cell identity during development and tumorigenesis.

ChIP-Seq of chromatin marks at distal enhancers in Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells and adult tissues.

Project description:Enhancers are enriched by histone H3 lysine 4 mono methylation (H3K4me1). To gain insight into the relation between enhancers and developmental state, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with massive parallel sequencing (ChIP-seq) was performed in several cell types to determine the genome-wide binding targets of H3K4me1 and several other possible enhancer associated modifications. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A chromatin IP against histone H3 or whole cell extract was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed mainly using antibodies against the chromatin marks H3K4me1 and H3K27ac.

Long-range chromatin interactions in mouse embryonic stem cells identified by ChIA-PET [H3K27me3 ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The pluripotent state of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) is produced by active transcription of cell identity genes and repression of genes encoding lineage-specifying developmental regulators. Here we use large ESC cohesin ChIA-PET datasets and other genomic data to identify the local chromosomal structures at both active and repressed genes across the genome. The results show that super-enhancer driven cell identity genes generally occur within large loops that are connected through CTCF-CTCF interaction sites occupied by cohesin. H3K27me3 ChIP-seq data from wild type murine embryonic stem cells V6.5 were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hi-Seq 2000.

Enhancer Decommissioning by LSD1 During Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation (ChIP-seq)

Project description:Transcription factors and chromatin modifiers play important roles in programming and reprogramming of cellular states during development. Much is known about the role of these regulators in gene activation, but relatively little is known about the critical process of enhancer silencing during differentiation. Here we show that the H3K4/K9 histone demethylase LSD1 plays an essential role in decommissioning enhancers during differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). LSD1 occupies enhancers of active genes critical for control of ESC state. However, LSD1 is not essential for maintenance of ESC identity. Instead, ESCs lacking LSD1 activity fail to fully differentiate and ESC-specific enhancers fail to undergo the histone demethylation events associated with differentiation. At enhancers, LSD1 is a component of the NuRD complex, which contains additional subunits that are necessary for ESC differentiation. We propose that the LSD1-NuRD complex decommissions enhancers of the pluripotency program upon differentiation, which is essential for complete shutdown of the ESC gene expression program and the transition to new cell states. This is the ChIP-seq part of the study.
