Leveraging chromatin accessibility for transcriptional regulatory network inference in T Helper 17 Cells [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional regulatory networks (TRNs) provide insight into cellular behavior by describing interactions between transcription factors (TFs) and their gene targets. The Assay for Transposase Accessible Chromatin (ATAC)-seq, coupled with transcription-factor motif analysis, provides indirect evidence of chromatin binding for hundreds of TFs genome-wide. Here, we propose methods for TRN inference in a mammalian setting, using ATAC-seq data to influence gene expression modeling. We rigorously test our methods in the context of T Helper Cell Type 17 (Th17) differentiation, generating new ATAC-seq data to complement existing Th17 genomic resources (plentiful gene expression data, TF knock-outs and ChIP-seq experiments). In this resource-rich mammalian setting our extensive benchmarking provides quantitative, genome-scale evaluation of TRN inference combining ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data. We refine and extend our previous Th17 TRN, using our new TRN inference methods to integrate all Th17 data (gene expression, ATAC-seq, TF KO, ChIP-seq). We highlight new roles for individual TFs and groups of TFs (“TF-TF modules”) in Th17 gene regulation. Given the popularity of ATAC-seq (a widely adapted protocol with high resolution and low sample input requirements), we anticipate that application of our methods will improve TRN inference in new mammalian systems and be of particular use for rare, uncharacterized cell types.

The subtype-specific transcriptional regulatory networks of intestinal innate lymphoid cells (RNA-seq)

Project description:Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) comprise a population of immune cells that promote tissue homeostasis, defense against infections, and inflammatory disease. Yet, the transcriptional control of these functions is not well understood. Here, we leverage an experimental-computational approach for transcriptional regulatory network (TRN) inference, recently validated in an in vitro context, to construct genome-scale TRNs for ILCs isolated ex vivo from the intestine of mice. Chromatin accessibility and gene expression are the key data for our TRN inference method. Thus, we generated ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets for ILCs of the small and large intestine to integrate with publicly available ILC genomics data. From our ILC TRN, we predict target genes for hundreds of transcription factors (TFs), recovering both known and novel TF regulators of ILC subtype-specific gene expression patterns. The identified TFs include both activators and repressors of lineage-specific genes. Using KO mice, we validated predictions for two such TFs, MAF and BCL6, as previously unknown regulators affecting the balance of ILC3-ILC1. We additionally demonstrate the utility of our ILC TRN to describe gene expression responses to Bcl6 KO in ILC1, NK and ILC3 and predict TF regulators in each subtype. The ILC TRN and “core” ILC subtype networks are publicly available through an interactive Jupyter-notebook web interface. We anticipate that these maps of ILC subtype-specific transcriptional regulation will serve as an important community resource and lead to the development of new strategies for the control of subtype-specific behaviors, especially in the context of disease.

A validated regulatory network for Th17 cell specification

Project description:Th17 cells have critical roles in mucosal defense and are major contributors to inflammatory disease. Their differentiation requires the nuclear hormone receptor RORγt working with multiple other essential transcription factors (TFs). We have used an iterative systems approach, combining genome-wide TF occupancy, expression profiling of TF mutants, and expression time series to delineate the Th17 global transcriptional regulatory network. We find that cooperatively-bound BATF and IRF4 contribute to initial chromatin accessibility, and with STAT3 initiate a transcriptional program that is then globally tuned by the lineage-specifying TF RORγt, which plays a focal deterministic role at key loci. Integration of multiple datasets allowed inference of an accurate predictive model that we computationally and experimentally validated, identifying multiple new Th17 regulators, including Fosl2, a key determinant of cellular plasticity. This interconnected network can be used to investigate new therapeutic approaches to manipulate Th17 functions in the setting of inflammatory disease. 143 RNA-seq, 83 ChIP-seq, 65 ChIP-seq controls, and 16 FAIRE-seq

Genome-wide binding profile of Smad3 and Smad7 in mouse Ch12 cell line (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Mammalian genome encodes approximately 1,700 transcription factors (TFs), 1,300 out of which have sequence specific binding motifs. Transcription in mammalian cells is regulated by the recruitment of TFs to specific cis-regulatory elements. In spite of consistent efforts on the function of individual TF, the question still remains how TFs bind to DNA and form enhancer. Here, we try to solve this problem by investigating the relationship between TF binding pattern and chromatin accessibility (ATAC-Seq). We first systematically acquired ATAC-Seq dataset as well as matched RNA-Seq dataset from different mouse primary tissues. A comprehensive TF binding map was built for each tissue/cell type by genomic approaches.
