ChIP-seq of plasma cell-free nucleosomes identifies gene expression programs of the cells-of-origin

ABSTRACT: Cell-free DNA in human plasma provides access to molecular information about the pathological processes in the organs or tumors from which it originates. These DNA fragments are derived from fragmented chromatin in dying cells, and retain some of the cell of origin histone modifications. Here, we apply chromatin immunoprecipitation of cell-free nucleosomes carrying active chromatin modifications followed by sequencing (cfChIP-seq) to 268 human samples. In healthy donors, we identified bone marrow megakaryocytes, but not erythroblasts, as major contributors to the cfDNA pool. In patients with a range of liver diseases, we show that we can identify pathology-related changes in hepatocyte transcriptional programs. In metastatic colorectal carcinoma patients, we detected clinically relevant, and patient-specific information, including transcriptionally active HER2 amplifications. Altogether, cfChIP-seq using low sequencing depth, provides systemic and genome-wide information, can inform diagnosis, and facilitate interrogation of physiological and pathological processes using blood samples.

Genome-wide analysis of ADP-ribosylation by ADPr-ChAP reveals its association with chromatin after oxidative stress

Project description:Chromatin ADP-ribosylation regulates important cellular processes. However, the exact location and magnitude of chromatin ADP-ribosylation are largely unknown. A robust and versatile method for assessing chromatin ADP-ribosylation is therefore crucial for further understanding its function. Here, we present a chromatin affinity precipitation method based on the high specificity and avidity of two well-characterized ADP-ribose binding domains to map chromatin ADP-ribosylation at the genome-wide scale and at specific loci. Our ADPr-ChAP method revealed that in cells exposed to oxidative stress, ADP-ribosylation of chromatin scaled with histone density, with highest levels at heterochromatic sites and depletion at active promoters. Furthermore, in growth factor-induced adipocyte differentiation, increased chromatin ADP-ribosylation was observed at PPARγ target genes, whose expression is ADP-ribosylation-dependent. In combination with deep-sequencing and conventional ChIP, the established ADPr-ChAP provides a valuable resource for the bioinformatic comparison of ADP-ribosylation with other chromatin modifications and for addressing its role in other biologically important processes.

Interactive analysis of single-cell epigenomic landscapes with ChromSCape

Project description:Here, we present ChromSCape, a user-friendly interactive Shiny/R application that processes single-cell epigenomic data to help the biological interpretation of chromatin landscapes within cell populations. ChromSCape successfully analyses the distribution of repressive and active histone modifications as well as chromatin accessibility landscapes from single-cell datasets.

Subtraction-free and bisulfite-free specific sequencing of 5-methylcytosine and its oxidized derivatives at base resolution

Project description:Although various methods have been developed for sequencing cytosine epigenetic modifications, specific and quantitative sequencing of the two major epigenetic modifications of cytosines, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) at base-resolution is still challenging. Most times it requires subtraction of two methods to obtain both the true 5mC and 5hmC information, which increases noise and requires high sequencing depth. Recently we developed TET assisted pyridine borane sequencing (TAPS) for bisulfite-free direct sequencing of DNA methylation, which provides the sum of 5mC and 5hmC. Here we extend it to two sister methods, TAPSβ and CAPS (Chemical-Assisted Pyridine borane Sequencing), for whole-genome subtraction-free and specific sequencing of 5mC and 5hmC, respectively. We also demonstrated Pyridine borane Sequencing (PS) of whole-genome 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC), the further oxidized derivatives of 5mC and 5hmC. This completes the versatile borane reduction chemistry-based methods as a comprehensive suite for direct and quantitative sequencing of all four individual cytosine epigenetic modifications.

Gene expression in mouse splenic CD4+CD25+ (Treg) cells from Ikzf2-/-, Ikzf4-/- and double Ikzf2-/-Ikzf4-/- (dKO) mice

Project description:CD4+CD25+ cells were sorted from the spleen of 6-7 week old mice WT, Ikzf4-/- and dKO mice (group 1) were processed separately from a a second group (group2) containing Ikzf2-/- and their WT controls. Group 1 originates from an ultra clean sterile bioBubble, while group 2 originates from a specific pathogne free facility. In each group 3 samples were analyzed for each genotype.

Hypersensitive Nucleosomes in Chromatin Are Intrinsic to the Structure of Active, Tissue-Specific Enhancers [MNase-Seq]

Project description:In higher eukaryotes, enhancers and promoters share many properties, including binding of transcription factors, existing in open chromatin, and bidirectional transcription. Yet the structural features that distinguish enhancers and promoters are unclear. Genome-wide micrococcal nuclease (MNase) studies previously interpreted MNase hypersensitivity to indicate that active enhancers and promoters are nucleosome-free, yet other studies found histone variants and post-translational modifications at active enhancers. We find that prior MNase genomic studies have an overdigestion bias and that low-level MNase digestion, coupled with mapping core histones, reveals two classes of MNase-hypersensitive sites: at active promoters, which are nucleosome depleted, and at tissue-specific enhancers, which retain core histones and co-bound transcription factors substantially more than promoters. Hypersensitivity of active enhancer nucleosomes may reflect their preferential exposure in chromatin and can be maintained by pioneer transcription factors such as FoxA. These findings unveil fundamental differences in the chromatin structure of active enhancers and promoters.

Integrative analysis of reference epigenomes in rice [FAIRE-seq]

Project description:Approximately 73% of rice genomes were annotated with different epigenomic properties. Refinement of promoter regions using open chromatin and H3K4me3-marked regions provided insight into transcriptional regulation. Active and repressed histone modifications and the predicted enhancers varied largely across tissues, whereas inactive chromatin states were relatively stable. Further, we investigated the impact of genetic variants on epigenomic signals and gene expression. Together, these datasets constitute a resource for functional element annotation in rice and indicate the central role of epigenomic information in understanding transcriptional regulation.
