Project description:Reporter genes integrated into the genome are a powerful tool to reveal effects of regulatory elements and local chromatin context on gene expression. However, so far such reporter assays have been of low throughput. Here we describe a multiplexing approach for the parallel monitoring of transcriptional activity of thousands of randomly integrated reporters. More than 27,000 distinct reporter integrations in mouse embryonic stem cells, obtained with two different promoters, show ~1,000-fold variation in expression levels. Data analysis indicates that lamina-associated domains act as attenuators of transcription, likely by reducing access of transcription factors to binding sites. Furthermore, chromatin compaction is predictive of reporter activity. We also found evidence for cross-talk between neighboring genes, and estimate that enhancers can influence gene expression on average over ~20 kb. The multiplexed reporter assay is highly flexible in design and can be modified to query a wide range of aspects of gene regulation. TRIP assay of mPGK promoter; 6 experiments, each with 2 technical replicates.

Project description:A core task to understand the consequences of non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) is to identify their genotype specific binding of transcription factor (TF). Here, we generate a large-scale TF-SNP interaction map for a selection of 116 colorectal cancer (CRC) risk loci and validated TF binding to 10 putatively functional SNPs. Our data further revealed TF binding complexity adjacent to the 116 risk loci, adding an additional layer of understanding to regulatory networks associated with CRC relevant loci.

Project description:Environmental factors, including pesticides, have been linked to autism and neurodegeneration risk using retrospective epidemiological studies. Here, we sought to prospectively identify chemicals that share transcriptomic signatures with neurological disorders by exposing mouse cortical neuron-enriched cultures to hundreds of chemicals commonly found in the environment and on food. We find that rotenone, a pesticide associated with Parkinsonâs disease risk, and certain fungicides, including pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin, famoxadone, and fenamidone, produce transcriptional changes in vitro that are similar to those seen in brain samples from humans with autism, advanced age and neurodegeneration (Alzheimerâs disease, Huntingtonâs disease). These chemicals stimulate free radical production and disrupt microtubules in neurons, effects that can be reduced by pretreating with a microtubule stabilizer, an antioxidant, or with sulforaphane. Our study provides an approach to prospectively identify environmental chemicals that transcriptionally mimic autism and other brain disorders. 405 total samples, consisting of 297 unique chemicals and vehicle controls.

Project description:Pervasive Transcription originates from spurious promoters present in both orientations within coding sequences. Spurious transcripts are typically untranslated and thus for the most part are terminated by transcription termination factor Rho. They can be studied by impairing Rho activity, which in this study was achieved by depleting cells for Rho co-factor NusG. To this end, strains in which the only chromosomal copy of the nusG gene is transcribed from a promoter that can be repressed by arabinose (ARA) were used. This study was aimed at determining how pervasive transcription affect H-NS mediated gene silencing in Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 1 (SPI-1). In particular, the analysis concentrated on the region surrounding the master regulator gene HilD. The activities of promoters in this region were assessed performing semiquantitative 5’RACE-Seq. RNA extracted from cells exposed to the indicated treatments was reverse-transcribed with gene-specific primers in the presence of a template-switching oligonucleotide (TSO). The latter carries three 3’-terminal riboguanosines that hybridize to the polycytosine overhang (typically 3 or 4 Cs) added by the RT enzyme when it reaches the 5’ end of the RNA.This allows the RT enzyme to switch template and polymerise the TSO. Subsequent PCR amplification, with a primer complementary to the TSO and another annealing inside the reverse transcribed region, followed by sequence analysis, allows identifying the 5’ end of the RNA as the sequence lying immediately adjacent to the poly-G track. Performing the PCR step semiquantitatively provides information as to relative RNA levels. Here, the technique was adapted to high throughput sequencing by using PCR primers carrying Illumina adapters at their 5’ ends. Three strains were used, all three carrying the ARA-repressible nusG allele, MA12996, MA14302 and MA14358. This last strain carries a deleted version of SPI-1 with the Anhydrotetracycline (AHTc)-inducible Ptet promoter positioned at edge of the H-NS patch covering hilD, which made it possible to study the effects of NusG depletion in the presence or absence of overlapping transcription.

Project description:Gene silencing by nucleoid-associated protein H-NS is sensitive to neighbouring transcription. This effect does not require neighbouring transcription to elongate into the silenced region. Here we measured how activating transcription of a tetRA cassette positioned upstream of either hilD or leuO promoters of Salmonella affected the activity of these promoters. The tetRA cassette included a strong Rho-independent transcription terminator at the 3' end of tetA. Transcription of the cassette was activated with anhydrotetracycline (AHTc). The activities of hilD and leuO promoters were measured upon performing template-switching reverse transcription follwed by semi-quantitative PCR and Illumina high-throughput sequencing.
