Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has evolved exquisite controls over its host cells, human B lymphocytes, not only directing these cells during latency to proliferate and thereby expand the pool of infected cells, but also to survive and thereby persist for the lifetime of the infected individual. Although these activities ensure the virus is successful, they also make the virus oncogenic, particularly when infected people are immunosuppressed. Here we show, strikingly, that one set of EBV's microRNAs ( ...[more]

Project description:Epstein-Barr virus is a gamma-herpes virus that is causally associated with several lymphomas and carcinomas. This virus encodes at least 25 pre-miRNAs, which are expressed in infected cells to yield more than 50 detected mature miRNAs. miRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs that inhibit gene expression by promoting the inhibition of translation or of degradation of mRNAs. Currently, the function of these viral miRNAs and the contribution they provide to EBV's life-cycle remain largely unknown, due to difficulties in identifying cellular and viral genes regulated by these miRNAs. We have compared and contrasted two methods to identify targets of viral miRNAs in order to identify the advantages and limitations of each method to aid in uncovering the functions of EBV's miRNAs.

Project description:The EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma protein EWS belongs to the TET family (FUS/TLS, EWS, TAF15) of RNA and DNA binding proteins, implicated in DNA transcription, pre-mRNA splicing and maintenance of genomic integrity. Translocations of these genes are characteristic of particular neoplasias, including EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma. To identify physiological RNA targets of EWS, we performed in vivo cross-linking and immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput RNA sequencing (HITS-CLIP/CLIP-Seq) in HeLa cells. Sequencing identified EWS binding sites characterized by guanosine-rich motifs in nearly 9000 genes, with particular enrichment in exonic regions near 5M-bM-^@M-^Y splice sites. Exon 6 of the Fas/CD95 receptor, which is alternatively spliced to generate isoforms with opposing activities in programmed cell death, was found as a prominent EWS CLIP target, as well as by chromatin-immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and functional analysis. Manipulation of EWS levels and mutation of EWS binding sites led to changes in alternative splicing consistent with EWS promoting exon 6 inclusion and leading to the synthesis of the pro-apoptotic Fas/CD95 isoform. Biochemical characterization of factors associated with FAS exon 6 are consistent with the notion that EWS binds to exonic sequences near the 5M-bM-^@M-^Y splice site and promotes the recruitment of U1snRNP, favoring also recognition of the upstream 3' splice site by U2AF and thus exon definition. Consistent with a role for EWS in the regulation of programmed cell death, cells depleted of EWS show decreased sensitivity to Fas-induced apoptosis. We discuss the potential implications of this novel function of EWS in EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys sarcoma. CLIP-Seq analysis of EWS, with 2 biological replicates of EWS and one non-specific control

Project description:Neuroendocrine (NE) cells use large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) to traffic, process, store and secrete neuropeptide hormones through the regulated secretory pathway. The DIMM basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor of Drosophila controls the level of regulated secretory activity in NE cells. To pursue its mechanisms, we have performed two independent genome-wide analyses of DIMMM-bM-^@M-^Ys activities: (i) in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) to define genomic sites of DIMM occupancy and (ii) deep sequencing of purified DIMM neurons to characterize their transcriptional profile. By this combined approach, we showed that DIMM binds to conserved E-boxes in enhancers of 212 genes whose expression is enriched in DIMM-expressing NE cells. DIMM binds preferentially to certain E-boxes within first introns of specific gene isoforms. Statistical machine learning revealed that flanking regions of putative DIMM binding sites contribute to its DNA binding specificity. DIMMM-bM-^@M-^Ys transcriptional repertoire features at least 20 LDCV constituents. In addition, DIMM notably targets the pro-secretory transcription factor, CREB-A, but significantly, DIMM does not target any neuropeptide genes. DIMM therefore prescribes the scale of secretory activity in NE neurons, by a systematic control of the regulated secretory pathway at steps that are both proximal and distal.

Project description:While the regulation of metabolic enzymes by oncogenic drivers or tumor suppressors has been intensively studied over recent years, our understanding of how metabolic processes directly regulate cell proliferation has remained fragmentary. Here we show how the alteration of metabolism directly affects cell cycle progression in cancer cells. We found that activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome-proliferation activated receptor gamma (PPARM-NM-3), a transcriptional master regulator of lipid metabolism, inhibits the growth of lung adenocarcinoma cells by triggering a metabolic switch that inhibits pyruvate oxidation and reduces glutathione levels. These PPARM-NM-3-induced metabolic changes result in a marked increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that lead to rapid hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (RB) and cell cycle arrest. Both of these changes can be prevented by suppressing pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) or M-NM-2-oxidation of fatty acids. Thus, we provide a mechanism that directly links metabolic changes to inhibition of cancer cell cycle progression by altering ROS levels. We generated PPARG-LAP BAC transgenic NCI-H2347 and NCI-H1993 cell lines using the BAC-transgenesis approach. Cells at 80% confluency (~1-1.5x107) were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at 37M-BM-0C, and quenched with 125 mM glycine at room temperature for 5 minutes. The fixed cells were washed twice with cold PBS, scraped, and transferred into 1 ml PBS containing protease inhibitors (Roche). After centrifugation at 700 g for 4 minutes at 4M-BM-0C, the cell pellets were resuspended in 100 M-NM-<l ChIP lysis buffer (1% SDS, 10 mM EDTA, 50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1] with protease inhibitors) and sonicated at 4M-BM-0C with a Bioruptor (Diagenode) (30 seconds ON and 30 seconds OFF at highest power for 12 minutes). The sheared chromatin with a fragment length of ~200 M-bM-^@M-^S 600 bp) was centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 minutes at 4M-BM-0C). 100 M-NM-<l of the supernatant was used for ChIP or as input. A 1:10 dilution of the solubilized chromatin in ChIP dilution buffer (0.01% SDS, 1.1% Triton X-100, 1.2 mM EDTA, 167 mM NaCl 16.7 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1]) was incubated at 4M-BM-0C overnight with 6 M-NM-<g/ml of a goat anti-GFP (raised against His-tagged full-length eGFP and affinity-purified with GST-tagged full-length eGFP). Immunoprecipitations were carried out by incubating with 40 M-NM-<l pre-cleared Protein G Sepharose beads (Amersham Bioscience) for 1 hour at 4M-BM-0C, followed by five washes for 10 minutes with 1ml of the following buffers: Buffer I: 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1], 150 mM NaCl; Buffer II: 0.1% SDS, 1% Triton X-100, 2 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1], 500 mM NaCl; Buffer III: 0.25 M LiCl, 1% NP-40, 1% deoxycholate, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.1]; twice with TE buffer [pH 8.0]. Elution from the beads was performed twice with 100 M-NM-<l ChIP elution buffer (1% SDS, 0.1 M NaHCO3) at room temperature (RT) for 15 minutes. Protein-DNA complexes were de-crosslinked by heating at 65M-BM-0C in 192 mM NaCl for 16 hours. DNA fragments were purified using QiaQuick PCR Purification kit (Qiagen) and eluted into 30 M-NM-<l H2O according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys protocol after treatment with RNase A and Proteinase K.

Project description:During differentiation of embryonic stem cells, chromatin reorganizes to establish cell type specific expression programs. Here, we have dissected the linkages between DNA methylation (5mC), hydroxymethylation (5hmC), nucleosome repositioning and binding of the transcription factor CTCF during this process. By integrating MNase-seq and ChIP-seq experiments in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) and their differentiated counterparts with biophysical modeling, we find that the interplay between these factors depends on their large-scale genomic context. The mostly unmethylated CpG islands have a reduced nucleosome occupancy and are enriched in cell type-independent binding sites for CTCF. The few remaining methylated CpG dinucleotides are preferentially associated with nucleosomes. In contrast, outside of CpG islands most CpGs are methylated and their average density oscillates so that it is highest in the linker region between nucleosomes. Outside CpG islands binding of TET1, an enzyme that converts 5mC to 5hmC, is associated with labile, MNase-sensitive nucleosomes. Such nucleosomes are poised for eviction in ESCs and become stably bound in differentiated cells where the level of TET1 and 5hmCs goes down. In particular, this has a dramatic effect at variable CTCF sites enriched outside CpG islands, that are occupied by CTCF in ESCs but loose CTCF during differentiation. To rationalize this cell type dependent targeting of CTCF binding in competition with the histone octamer, we have developed a quantitative biophysical model, which allowed predicting differences in CTCF binding due to TET1/5hmC/5mC-dependent nucleosome repositioning. MNase-seq experiments for analysis of mononucleosomes were conducted as described previously (Teif et al. Nature Struct. Mol. Biol., 2012). In addition, a dinucleosome fraction also was gel purified and sequenced. Briefly, embryonic stem cells from 129P2/Ola mice were cultured in ESGRO complete medium (Millipore), harvested and resuspended in low salt buffer (10 mM Hepes, pH 8, 10 mM KCl, 0.5 mM DTT) at 4 M-BM-0C. After disruption of the cells with a douncer the nuclei were collected by centrifugation and washed once with the MNase Buffer (10 mM TrisM-bM-^@M-^SHCl, pH 7.5, 10 mM CaCl2), resuspended in the MNase Buffer and digested with 0.5 units MNase per microliter (Fermentas) and incubation for 6M-bM-^@M-^S11 minutes at 37 M-BM-0C. The MNase digestion was stopped by putting the samples on ice and adding EDTA to a concentration of 10 mM. After digestion with 0.1 M-BM-5g M-BM-5lM-bM-^@M-^S1 RNase A (Fermentas) and removal of protein by phenol and chloroform extraction, the DNA was ethanol precipitated and the resulting DNA pellet was dissolved in H2O. DNA fragments corresponding to mononucleosomes or dinucleosomes were separated on a 2 % agarose gel using an E-Gel electrophoresis system (Life Technologies). The libraries for sequencing were prepared according to the standard Illumina protocol. High-throughput paired-end sequencing of at least 50 bp read length was performed on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform at the DKFZ sequencing core facility in Heidelberg, Germany. We obtained about 150 million nucleosome positions per sequencing reaction. ChIP-seq experiments were conducted as described previously (Teif et al. 2012). For each sample, 1 x 106 cells were cross-linked with 1% PFA and cell nuclei were prepared using a swelling buffer (25 mM Hepes, pH 7.8, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM KCl, 0.1% NP-40, 1 mM DTT). Chromatin was sheared to mononucleosomal fragments. After IgG preclearance the sheared chromatin was incubated with 4 M-BM-5g of either H3K9me3 (Abcam ab8898) or H3K4me3 (Abcam ab8580) antibody over night. After washes with sonication (10 mM TrisM-bM-^@M-^SHCl, pH 8.0, 200 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% N-lauroylsarcosine, 0.1% NaM-bM-^@M-^Sdeoxycholate), high-salt-buffer (50 mM Hepes pH 7.9, 500 mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% NaM-bM-^@M-^Sdeoxycholate, 0.1% SDS), lithium buffer (20 mM TrisM-bM-^@M-^SHCl pH 8.0, 1 mM EDTA, 250 mM LiCl, 0.5% NP-40, 0.5% NaM-bM-^@M-^Sdeoxycholate) and 10 mM TrisM-bM-^@M-^SHCl, chromatin was eluted from the protein G magnetic beads and the crosslink was reversed over night. After RNase A and proteinase K digestion, DNA was purified and cloned in a barcoded sequencing library for the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing platform (single reads of 50 bp length).

Project description:Super-enhancers are principal determinants of cell transcription, development, phenotype, and oncogenesis, not yet implicated in host-pathogen interactions. We found four Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) oncoproteins and five EBV-activated NF-M-oM-^AM-+B subunits co-occupying thousand of enhancer sites in EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cells (LCLs). Of these, 187 had markedly higher and broader histone H3K27ac signals characteristic of super-enhancer formation, and were designated M-bM-^@M-^\EBV super-enhancersM-bM-^@M-^]. EBV super-enhancer associated genes included MYC and BCL2, which enable LCL proliferation and survival. EBV super-enhancers were enriched for specific B cell transcription factor motifs and had high STAT5 and NFAT co-occupancy. EBV super-enhancer associated genes were more highly expressed than other LCL genes. Disruption of EBV super-enhancers by the bromo-domain inhibitor, JQ1, by conditional inactivation of an EBV oncoprotein or NF-M-oM-^AM-+B, decreased MYC or BCL2 gene expression and arrested LCL growth. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms by which EBV causes lymphoproliferation and identify opportunities for therapeutic intervention. ChIP-seq was used to define the BRD4 genome-wide landscape in GM12878 lymphoblastoid cells.

Project description:[original Title] Rapid and synchronous clearance of PcG histone modifications from Hox genes anticipates motor neuron differentiation. Hox genes are expressed in patterns that are spatially and temporally collinear with their chromosomal organization. This feature is an evolutionarily conserved hallmark of embryonic development, and in vertebrates it is critical, among others, for the specification of motor neuron subtypes and the wiring of sensory-motor circuits. We show here that the differentiation of motor neurons from stem cells is accompanied by a synchronous, domain-wide clearance of M-bM-^@M-^\repressiveM-bM-^@M-^] Polycomb (PcG)-dependent histone methylation from Hox gene chromatin domains. These findings argue against the idea, advanced recently, that the collinear dynamics of Hox gene expression invariably reflects the progressive clearance of repressive chromatin modifications. The rapid establishment of stable chromatin domains in response to a transient patterning signal likely serves as a molecular correlate of enduring rostro-caudal neural identity, which underlies the specification of postmitotic motor neuron subtype diversity and neuronal circuit assembly. The differentiation of ventral motor neurons is induced by treating embryonic stem cell cultures with retinoic acid and hedgehog agonist. Here, ChIP-chip using a custom Agilent array is used to profile the occupancy of H3K27me3, H3K4me3, and H3K79me2 at various defined stages during the differentiation process.

Project description:SOX2 is a transcription factor essential for pluripotent stem cells, and development and maintenance of squamous epithelium. We previously reported SOX2 an oncogene subject to highly recurrent genomic amplification in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs)1. Here we demonstrate in SCCs that SOX2 interacts with another master squamous transcription factor p63, and through ChIP-seq show that genomic occupancy of SOX2 overlaps with that of p63 at a large number of loci and that they cooperatively regulate gene expression including ETV4, which we find essential for SOX2-amplified SCC cell survival. Furthermore, SOX2 binds to distinct genomic loci in SCCs than in embryonic stem cells and the SOX2-p63 coordinate binding is unique to SCC. In addition, a subset of SOX2 genomic binding sites in SCC that lack p63 co-occupancy are co-occupied by the AP-1 transcriptional complex. These demonstrate that SOX2M-bM-^@M-^Ys actions in SCC differ substantially from its role in pluripotency and identify novel SOX2 interactions that will enable deeper characterization of SOX2M-bM-^@M-^Ys function in SCC. KYSE70 cells with stable expression of either pLKO-Tet-Op-shSOX2 or pLKO-Tet-Op-shTp63 were treated with 50ng/ml of doxycyline for 4 days. Total RNA was extracted, polyA+ selected, reverse transcribed, library constructed and sequencing was performed with Illumina HiSeq 2000. Differencial gene expression between the stable cell lines with Dox-induced and non-Dox treated was analyzed to determine the effects by suppression of either SOX2 or TP63 in KYSE70 cells.

Project description:We analyzed the expression profile of mutS deletion mutant strain of Thermus thermophils HB8 during the exponential growth phase. Keywords: cell type comparison The mutant strains were precultured in 3 mL of rich medium for two times at 70M-BM-0C and then subcultured to 1000 mL of rich medium. These cells were cultured at 70M-BM-0C for 300 min , and then cells were harvested from 50 ml of the culture. Total RNA were extracted from wild-type and mutS-lacking strain and used for the cDNA synthesis by SuperScript II (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The cDNA fragments were labeled with GeneChip DNA Labeling Reagent (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), using terminal transferase according to the manufacturerM-bM-^@M-^Ys instructions. The 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-terminal-labeled cDNA was hybridized with a TTHB8401a520105F GeneChip (Affymetrix) which contained probe sets of 25-mer oligonucleotides for 2238 ORFs and 1096 intergenic regions. After washing and staining with streptavidin-phycoerythrin (Invitrogen) by GeneChip Fluidics Station 450XP (Affymetrix), the array was scanned by a GeneChip Scanner 3000 (Affymetrix). The image data was scaled to the target intensity by one-step TukeyM-bM-^@M-^Ys biweight algorithm using GeneChip Operating software, version 1.2 (Affymetrix). The data analysis was performed on the Subio platform version 1.6 (Subio Inc., Tokyo, Japan). The genes which had detection call of M-bM-^@M-^\presenceM-bM-^@M-^] more than 4 times from 8 samples were used for following analysis. The normalized intensities for the mutant strains were calculated by using the intensities for wild-type strains of each data set, and then, the average of these intensities were used. The genes which produced P value < 0.05 in the StudentM-bM-^@M-^Ys t-test were extracted. Among them, the genes whose expression level was different more than 2 fold between two strains were considered as significant. For the biological replication, above experiments were performed three times independently.
