Project description:A characteristic feature of asthma is the aberrant accumulation, differentiation or function of memory CD4+ T cells that produce Th2 cytokines (Th2 cells). By mapping genome-wide histone modification profiles of T cell subsets isolated from peripheral blood of healthy and asthmatic individuals, we identified enhancers with known and potential roles in the normal differentiation of human Th1 and Th2 cells. In addition, we discovered disease-specific T cell enhancers that differ between healthy and asthmatic individuals. Examination of H3K4me2 histone modifications in 3 human cell types in 11 healthy and 12 asthmatic individuals .

Project description:We developed a targeted chromosome conformation capture (4C) approach that uses unique molecular identifiers (UMI) to derive high complexity quantitative chromosome contact profiles with controlled signal to noise ratios. We demonstrate that the method improves the sensitivity and specificity for detection of long-range chromosomal interactions, and that it allows the design of interaction screens with predictable statistical power. UMI-4C robustly quantifies contact intensity changes between cell types and conditions, opening the way toward incorporation of long-range interactions in quantitative models of gene regulation. We constructed UMI-4C profiles of 13 different genomic loci (viewpoints) in five different cell lines, in order to study the 3D chromatin contact maps of these selected loci. The coordinates for these viewpoints are: G1p1 chrX:48646542; baitG1_3_5kb chrX:48641393; bait_50kb chrX:48595987; bait_165kb chrX:48476525; ANK1 chr8:41654693; hbb_3HS chr11:5221346; hbb_HBB chr11:5248714; hbb_HBBP1_G1 chr11:5266532; HBB_HBE chr11:5292159; HBB_HS2 chr11:5301345; HBB_HS3 chr11:5306690; HBB_HS5 chr11:5313539; HBB_HBD chr11:5256597

Project description:Pdr1 is the major regulator of azole resistance in the fungal pathogen Candida glabrata. Earlier experiments demonstrated that expression of Pdr1 itself is increased when cells lose their mitochondrial genome (rho0). Here we use chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with highthroughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) to map the genomic binding sites for Pdr1 in both normal and rho0 cells. These data provide the first look at genes that are likely to represent the direct targets of Pdr1 in this important pathogen. Examination of Pdr1 binding sites using two different antibodies in five different strains. Strains labeled TAP carry the TAP-tagged allele and capture was done with anti-TAP. The control was performed by carrying out a ChIP reaction on rho0 TAP-PDR1 cells but with no primary anti-TAP antibody. Since Pdr1 expression is the highest in this background, this was selected as the best control for antibody specificity. We also performed ChIP reactions on rho+, rho0 and cells lacking the PDR1 gene (pdr1D) cells using the anti-Pdr1 antibody. The control for these reactions was a ChIP experiment using anti-Pdr1 antibody on cells lacking the endogenous Pdr1 protein.

Project description:ChIP-Seq Analysis of H3K9Ac in pairs of mouse and human samples carrying either the Gfi136S or the GFi136N variants. The objective of the study was to identify the changes in H3K9 acetylation at gene promoters that occur in samples expressing the 36N variant of the Gfi1 gene. 3 pairs of bone-marrow AML samples were obtained from mice where 1 mouse in each pair was homozygous for Gfi136S and 1 heterozygous for Gfi136N, or homozygous for 36N in one case. 2 pairs of AML samples were obtained from human patients were 1 patient was homozygous for Gfi1 36S and one was heterozygous for Gfi1 36N. H3 and H3K9Ac ChIP-Seq was carried out on each sample.

Project description:Reward-related memory is an important factor in cocaine seeking. One necessary signaling mechanism for long-term memory formation is the activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), via poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. We demonstrate herein that auto-poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of activated PARP-1 was significantly pronounced during retrieval of cocaine-associated contextual memory, in the central amygdala (CeA) of rats expressing cocaine-conditioned place preference (CPP). Intra-CeA pharmacological and shRNA depletion of PARP-1 activity during cocaine-associated memory retrieval abolished CPP. In contrast, PARP-1 inhibition after memory retrieval did not affect CPP reconsolidation process and subsequent retrievals. Chromatin Immuoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing revealed that PARP-1 binding in the CeA is highly enriched in genes involved in neuronal signaling. We identified amongst PARP targets in CeA a single gene, yet uncharacterized and encoding a putative transposase inhibitor, at which PARP-1 enrichment dramatically increases during cocaine-associated memory retrieval and positively correlates with CPP. Our findings have important implications for understanding drug-related behaviors, and suggest possible future therapeutic targets for drug abuse. 4 samples, each is pooled central amygdalae tissues collected from 2 rats. Rats were trained for cocaine-conditioned place-preference (CPP), tissues were harvested immediately following cocaine-CPP retrieval. Three groups of rats were used: high cocaine CPP, low cocaine CPP and control saline only trained rats.

Project description:We report the application of ChIP bisulfite sequencing (ChIPbisSeq) to establish the methylation state of DNA bound to RNApol2 phosphorylated in Ser5 (RNAPol2Ser5) in the mouse cortex. We first profiled the RNAPol2Ser5 binding using regular ChIPSeq from 45 million raw read pairs (31 million unique pairs were aligned to the genome). Then we used bisulfite converted DNA immunoprecipitated with an antibody against RNAPol2Ser5 (87 million raw read pairs, 38 million unique read pairs aligned to the genome) to map RNAPol2Ser5 sites and to establish the methylation state at these sites. Examination of methylation state at RNAPol2Ser5 binding sites in the mouse cortex.

Project description:Latency-associated nuclear antigen (LANA), a multifunctional protein expressed by the Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) in latently-infected cells, is required for stable maintenance of the viral episome. This is mediated by two interactions: LANA binds to specific sequences (LBS1 and 2) on viral DNA, and also engages host histones, tethering the viral genome to host chromosomes in mitosis. LANA has also been suggested to affect host gene expression, but both the mechanism(s) and role of this dysregulation in KSHV biology remain unclear. Here we have examined LANA interactions with host chromatin on a genome-wide scale using ChIP-seq, and show that LANA predominantly targets human genes near their transcriptional start sites (TSSs). These host LANA-binding sites are generally found within transcriptionally active promoters and display striking overrepresentation of a consensus DNA sequence virtually identical to the LBS1 motif in KSHV DNA. Comparison of the ChIP-seq profile with whole transcriptome (RNA-seq) data reveals that few of the genes that are differentially regulated in latent infection are occupied by LANA at their promoters. This suggests that direct LANA binding to promoters is not the prime determinant of altered host transcription in KSHV-infected cells. Most surprisingly, the association of LANA to both host and viral DNA is strongly disrupted during the lytic cycle of KSHV. This disruption can be prevented by the inhibition of viral DNA synthesis, suggesting the existence of novel and potent regulatory mechanisms linked to either viral DNA replication or late gene expression. Profiling of KSHV LANA positioning on the host genome and examination of gene expression from promoters bound by KSHV LANA.
