Chromatin immunoprecipitation of adult mouse liver to identify Foxa2 targets

ABSTRACT: We performed genome-wide location analysis for Foxa2 to identify its targets in the adult mouse liver. Chromatin isolated from the liver of five adult mice was cross-linked, sheared and immunoprecipitated with a Foxa2-specific antibody. The resulting material, as well as material that was not immunoprecipitated, was uncross-linked, amplified, labeled and hybridized to the Mouse Promoter Chip BCBC-5A. Statistical analysis resulted in a set of 107 genes that are bound by Foxa2. Using computational analyses, we showed that Foxa2 containing cis-regulatory modules are dependent on the strength of the Foxa2 consensus site present.

Foxa2 is a critical transcription factor that controls liver development and plays an important role in hepatic gluconeogensis in adult mice. Here, we use genome-wide location analysis for Foxa2 to identify its targets in the adult liver. We then show by computational analyses that Foxa2 containing cis-regulatory modules are not constructed from a random assortment of binding sites for other transcription factors expressed in the liver, but rather that their composition depends on the strength o ...[more]

Project description:The winged helix protein FOXA2 and the nuclear receptor PPARg are highly conserved, regionally-expressed transcription factors that regulate networks of genes controlling complex metabolic functions. Cistrome analysis for FOXA2 in mouse liver and PPARg in mouse adipocytes has previously produced consensus binding sites that are nearly identical to those used by the factors in human cells. Despite this conservation of the canonical binding motif, we report here that the great majority of specific binding regions for FOXA2 in human liver and for PPARg in human adipocytes are not in the orthologous locations to the mouse genome. Nevertheless, gene-centric analysis reveals strong shared transcription factor occupancy near genes in tissue-specific metabolic pathways that are functionally conserved across species. Genes with only species-specific binding sites fail to show enrichment for these pathways. Thus, the biological functions of transcription factors that control specific metabolic functions are highly shared across species. Two TFs, FOXA2 and PPARg, were studied for genome-wide conservation of binding between mouse and human in specific tissues/cell-types (liver for FOXA2, adipocytes for PPARg). The number of replicates for each TF was chosen to obtain a comparable number of reads between the TFs and species. Human FOXA2 ChIP-seq was performed on two biological replicates of human liver samples, in three technical replicates each. Input DNA was also collected and sequenced from both biological samples. Mouse FOXA2 ChIP-seq was performed on four biological replicates of mouse liver samples. The ChIP and sequencing were repeated on two of these biological replicates to create technical replicates for additional sequence reads. Input DNA was sequenced from three additional mouse livers. Human PPARg ChIP-seq was performed on a human adipocyte cell-line (SGBS) differentiated in two replicate cultures. Input DNA was also collected and sequenced from one culture. Mouse PPARg ChIP-seq was performed on 3T3-L1 cells differentiated into adipocytes in culture in a single replicate, and this sequence data was pooled with existing data previously generated by the same lab, already available in GEO (GSE21314). A standard pool of input DNA sample sequence from multiple mouse tissue was used for analyzing the Mouse PPARg ChIP-seq data.
