H3K27me3-rich genomic regions can function as silencers to repress gene expression via chromatin interactions

ABSTRACT: Gene repression and silencers are poorly understood. We reasoned that H3K27me3-rich regions (MRRs) of the genome defined from clusters of H3K27me3 peaks may be used to identify silencers that can regulate gene expression via proximity or looping. MRRs were associated with chromatin interactions and interact preferentially with each other. MRR component removal at interaction anchors by CRISPR led to upregulation of interacting target genes, altered H3K27me3 and H3K27ac levels at interacting regions, and altered chromatin interactions. Chromatin interactions did not change at regions with high H3K27me3, but regions with low H3K27me3 and high H3K27ac levels showed changes in chromatin interactions. The MRR knockout cells also showed changes in phenotype associated with cell identity, and altered xenograft tumor growth. MRR-associated genes and long-range chromatin interactions were susceptible to H3K27me3 depletion. Our results characterized H3K27me3-rich regions and their mechanisms of functioning via looping.

Comprehensive Epigenetic Landscape of Rheumatoid Arthritis FLS

Project description:We characterized the epigenetic landscape of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) compared with osteoarthritis FLS. Multiple technologies were used, including ChIP-seq to assay H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K36me3, H3K27me3, and H3K9me3, ATAC-seq for chromatin accessibility, the transcriptome by RNA-seq and whole genomic bisulfite sequencing for DNA methylation. Integrative analysis was performed using a novel unbiased method to identify regions of the genome that have similar epigenetic marks. The regions that distinguished RA and osteoarthritis cells were primarily located in active enhancers and promoters. The regions and genes identified included immunological pathways. In addition, some unexpected pathways, most notably "Huntington's Disease Signaling", were discovered. The Huntington's Disease pathway was biologically validated for Huntingtin-interacting protein-1, which regulated invasive behavior of FLS. For a complete description, see R. Ai et al., Comprehensive epigenetic landscape of rheumatoid arthritis fibroblast-like synoviocytes. Nat Commun 9, 1921 (2018).

Histone H3.3 lysine 9 and 27 control repressive chromatin states at cryptic cis-regulatory elements and bivalent promoters in mouse embryonic stem cells

Project description:Histone modifications are associated with distinct transcriptional states, but it is unclear whether they instruct gene expression. To investigate this, we mutated histone H3.3 K9 and K27 residues in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs). Here, we find that H3.3K9 is essential for controlling specific distal intergenic regions and for proper H3K27me3 deposition at promoters. The H3.3K9A mutation resulted in decreased H3K9me3 at regions encompassing endogenous retroviruses and induced a gain of H3K27ac and nascent transcription. These changes in the chromatin environment unleashed cryptic enhancers, resulting in the activation of distinctive transcriptional programs and culminating in protein expression normally restricted to specialized immune cell types. The H3.3K27A mutant disrupted deposition and spreading of the repressive H3K27me3 mark, particularly impacting bivalent genes with higher basal level of H3.3 at promoters. Therefore, H3.3K9 and K27 crucially orchestrate repressive chromatin states at cis-regulatory elements and bivalent promoters, respectively, and instruct proper transcription in mESCs.

Histone acetylation dynamics modulate chromatin conformation and allele-specific interactions at oncogenic loci (ChIPSeq)

Project description:In cancer cells, enhancer hijacking mediated by chromosomal alterations and/or increase of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) can support oncogene expression. However, how the chromatin conformation of enhancer-promoter interactions is affected by these events is unclear. Here, by comparing chromatin structure and H3K27ac levels in normal and lymphoma B-cells, we show that enhancer-promoter interacting regions assume different conformations according to the local abundance of H3K27ac. Genetic or pharmacologic depletion of H3K27ac decreases the frequency and the spreading of these interactions, altering oncogene expression. Moreover, enhancer hijacking mediated by chromosomal translocations influences the epigenetic status of the regions flanking the breakpoint, prompting the formation of distinct intra-chromosomal interactions in the two homologous chromosomes. These interactions are accompanied by allele-specific gene expression changes. Overall, our work indicates that H3K27ac dynamics modulate interaction frequency between regulatory regions and can lead to allele-specific chromatin configurations to sustain oncogene expression.

Transcriptional silencers in Drosophila serve a dual role as transcriptional enhancers in alternate cellular contexts [HiChIP]

Project description:Silencers active in the Drosophila embryonic mesoderm were identified by reporter assays in dissociated embryonic cells. We find that, despite the presence of ChIP peaks for known transcriptional corepressors and marks of repressed chromatin, the only significantly enriched source of mesodermal silencers is non-mesodermal enhancers. We present evidence that a subset of silencers acts by looping to target promoters.

A new model for long-range chromatin reorganisation linked to enhancer activation [ChIP-chip]

Project description:The most prominent model for long-range enhancer regulation involves direct enhancer-promoter interaction by looping out the intervening chromatin. Using a synthetic biology approach, we have determined that a chromatin unfolding between Shh and its enhancers is regulated specifically by the Shh-Brain-Enhancers and is mediated by the recruitment of Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 1. This ‘chromatin unfolding’ model represents a new mechanism of long-range enhancer-promoter communication in addition to the looping and tracking models. ChIP-on-chip for H3K27me3 and H3K27ac on the Shh regulatory region on ESCs and transfected ESCs showed a gain of H3k27ac specifically on active enhancers and no loss of Polycomb marks upon Shh activation.

The genomic landscape of cohesin-associated chromatin interactions

Project description:Cohesin is implicated in establishing tissue-specific DNA loops that target enhancers to promoters, and also localizes to sites bound by the insulator protein CTCF, which blocks enhancer-promoter communication. However, cohesin-associated interactions have not been characterized on a genome-wide scale. Here we performed chromatin interaction analysis with paired-end tag sequencing (ChIA-PET) of the cohesin subunit SMC1A in developing mouse limb. We identified 2,264 SMC1A interactions, of which 1,491 (65%) involved sites co-occupied by CTCF. SMC1A participates in tissue- specific enhancer-promoter interactions and interactions that demarcate regions of correlated regulatory output. In contrast to previous studies, we also identified interactions between promoters and distal sites that are maintained in multiple tissues, but are poised in embryonic stem cells and resolve to tissue-specific activated or repressed chromatin states in the mouse embryo. Our results reveal the diversity of cohesin- associated interactions in the genome and highlight their role in establishing the regulatory architecture of development.

RADIP technology comprehensively identifies H3K27me3-associated RNA–chromatin interactions

Project description:Many RNAs associate with chromatin, either directly or indirectly. To investigate the function of these RNAs, many technologies for mapping regions where RNAs interact across the genome have been developed. Adding information on the proteins involved in these RNA–chromatin interactions is critical for further analysis. Here, we developed RADIP (RNA and DNA interacting complexes ligated and sequenced (RADICL-seq) with immunoprecipitation), a novel technology that combines RADICL-seq technology with chromatin immunoprecipitation to characterize RNA–chromatin interactions mediated by individual proteins. We applied an anti-H3K27me3 antibody to the RADIP technology and generated libraries from mouse embryonic stem cells. We identified various RNAs, including protein-coding RNAs and non-coding RNAs, that were associated with chromatin via H3K27me3 mediation and that may facilitate the spread of Polycomb repressive complexes over broad regions of the mammalian genome.
