Cancer CRC: A Comprehensive Cancer Core Transcriptional Regulatory Circuit Resource and Analysis Platform.

ABSTRACT: A core transcriptional regulatory circuit (CRC) is a group of interconnected auto-regulating transcription factors (TFs) that form loops and can be identified by super-enhancers (SEs). Studies have indicated that CRCs play an important role in defining cellular identity and determining cellular fate. Additionally, core TFs in CRCs are regulators of cell-type-specific transcriptional regulation. However, a global view of CRC properties across various cancer types has not been generated. Thus, we integrated paired cancer ATAC-seq and H3K27ac ChIP-seq data for specific cell lines to develop the Cancer CRC (http://bio.liclab.net/Cancer_crc/index.html). This platform documented 94,108 cancer CRCs, including 325 core TFs. The cancer CRC also provided the "SE active core TFs analysis" and "TF enrichment analysis" tools to identify potentially key TFs in cancer. In addition, we performed a comprehensive analysis of core TFs in various cancer types to reveal conserved and cancer-specific TFs.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, which play important roles in regulating various biological functions. Many available miRNA databases have provided a large number of valuable resources for miRNA investigation. However, not all existing databases provide comprehensive information regarding the transcriptional regulatory regions of miRNAs, especially typical enhancer, super-enhancer (SE), and chromatin accessibility regions. An increasing number of studies have shown that the transcriptional regulatory regions of miRNAs, as well as related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and transcription factors (TFs) have a strong influence on human diseases and biological processes. Here, we developed a comprehensive database for the human transcriptional regulation of miRNAs (TRmir), which is focused on providing a wealth of available resources regarding the transcriptional regulatory regions of miRNAs and annotating their potential roles in the regulation of miRNAs. TRmir contained a total of 5,754,414 typical enhancers/SEs and 1,733,966 chromatin accessibility regions associated with 1,684 human miRNAs. These regions were identified from over 900 human H3K27ac ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, and DNase-seq samples. Furthermore, TRmir provided detailed (epi)genetic information about the transcriptional regulatory regions of miRNAs, including TFs, common SNPs, risk SNPs, linkage disequilibrium (LD) SNPs, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), 3D chromatin interactions, and methylation sites, especially supporting the display of TF binding sites in the regulatory regions of over 7,000 TF ChIP-seq samples. In addition, TRmir integrated miRNA expression and related disease information, supporting extensive pathway analysis. TRmir is a powerful platform that offers comprehensive information about the transcriptional regulation of miRNAs for users and provides detailed annotations of regulatory regions. TRmir is free for academic users and can be accessed at http://bio.liclab.net/trmir/index.html.
