Project description:Central nervous system-expressed long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are often located in the genome close to protein coding genes involved in transcriptional control. Such lncRNA-protein coding gene pairs are frequently temporally and spatially co-expressed in the nervous system and are predicted to act together to regulate neuronal development and function. Although some of these lncRNAs also bind and modulate the activity of the encoded transcription factors, the regulatory mechanisms controlling co-expression of neighbouring lncRNA-protein coding genes remain unclear. Here, we used high resolution NG Capture-C to map the cis-regulatory interaction landscape of the key neuro-developmental Paupar-Pax6 lncRNA-mRNA locus. The results define chromatin architecture changes associated with high Paupar-Pax6 expression in neurons and identify both promoter selective as well as shared cis-regulatory-promoter interactions involved in regulating Paupar-Pax6 co-expression. We discovered that the TCF7L2 transcription factor, a regulator of chromatin architecture and major effector of the Wnt signalling pathway, binds to a subset of these candidate cis-regulatory elements to coordinate Paupar and Pax6 co-expression. We describe distinct roles for Paupar in Pax6 expression control and show that the Paupar DNA locus contains a TCF7L2 bound transcriptional silencer whilst the Paupar transcript can act as an activator of Pax6. Our work provides important insights into the chromatin interactions, signalling pathways and transcription factors controlling co-expression of adjacent lncRNAs and protein coding genes in the brain.

Project description:Although some long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to regulate gene expression in cis, it remains unclear whether lncRNAs can directly regulate transcription in trans by interacting with chromatin genome-wide independently of their sites of synthesis. Here, we describe the genomically local and more distal functions of Paupar, a vertebrate-conserved and central nervous system-expressed lncRNA transcribed from a locus upstream of the gene encoding the Pax6 transcription factor. Knockdown of Paupar disrupts the normal cell cycle profile of neuroblastoma cells and induces neuronal differentiation. Paupar acts in a transcript-dependent manner both locally, to regulate Pax6, as well as distally by binding and regulating genes on multiple chromosomes, in part through physical association with Pax6 protein. Paupar binding sites are enriched near promoters and can function as transcriptional regulatory elements whose activity is modulated by Paupar transcript levels. Our findings demonstrate that a lncRNA can function in trans at transcriptional regulatory elements distinct from its site of synthesis to control large-scale transcriptional programmes. N2A cells transfected with a non-targeting control vector were compared to N2A cells transfected with a Pax6 knockdown construct. Three biological replicates of each condition were analysed on Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST Arrays.

Our findings demonstrate that a lncRNA can function in trans at transcriptional regulatory elements distinct from its site of synthesis to control large-scale transcriptional programmes. The genome-wide binding profile of Paupar was determined using Capture Hybridisation Analysis of RNA Targets (CHART)-Seq technique (Simon et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 108: 20497-20502, 2011) in N2A cells. Following the CHART-seq protocol, we used RNase H elution to recover genomic DNA associated with endogenous Paupar transcripts and genomic DNA associated with a control oligonucleotide (corresponding to the E.coli LacZ sequence). We identified Paupar binding sites in comparison both to DNA recovered using the control LacZ oligonucleotide and to an input DNA sample from N2A cells.

Project description:These data show that Paupar, a CNS expressed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), directly and functionally associates with KAP1, an essential epigenetic regulatory protein. Transcriptome profiling of N2A cells identified 1,913 differentially expressed genes whose expression significantly changed (at a 5% false discovery rate [FDR]) greater than 1.4-fold (log2 fold change ≈ 0.5) upon KAP1 depletion. Examination of the intersection of KAP1 and Paupar transcriptional targets showed that Paupar and KAP1 control expression of a shared set of target genes that are enriched for regulators of neuronal function and cell cycle in N2A cells. Furthermore, CHART-seq and ChIP-seq derived Paupar-KAP1 genome-wide co-occupancy maps revealed a 4-fold enrichment of overlap between Paupar and KAP1 bound sequences on chromatin. This study also indicates that Paupar promotes KAP1 chromatin occupancy and H3K9me3 deposition at a subset of distal targets, through formation of a ribonucleoprotein complex containing Paupar, KAP1 and the PAX6 transcription factor. These observations provide important conceptual insights into the trans-acting modes of lncRNA-mediated epigenetic regulation and the mechanisms of KAP1 genomic recruitment.
