Integrating Enhancer RNA Signatures with Diverse Omics Data identifies characteristics of transcription initiation in pancreatic islets

ABSTRACT: Identifying active regulatory elements and their characteristics is critical to understand gene regulatory mechanisms and subsequently better delineating biological mechanisms of complex diseases and traits. Studies have shown that active enhancers can be transcribed into enhancer RNA (eRNA). We identified actively transcribed elements in human pancreatic islets by performing cap analysis of gene expression (CAGE) across 70 islet samples. We used the self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (STARR-seq) assay in a rat pancreatic islet beta cell line to experimentally validate the regulatory activity of the CAGE-identified transcribed elements.

Cis-regulatory atlas of primary human CD4+ T cells

Project description:Naïve CD4+ T Cells are capable of differentiating into numerous T helper effector lineages depending on the provided local cytokines during activation. Cis-regulatory elements (CRE) are critical for cell differentiation, homeostasis, and function; however, CRE functional annotation (e.g. silencers, enhancers, and insulators) from existing genomic libraries remains an active need. Genome wide screens, including Transcribing Active Regulatory Region Sequencing (STARR-Seq) provides quantifies enhancer activity. However, these screens are mainly conducted in immortalized cell lines. Therefore, we have modified STARR-Seq using a non-integrating lentiviral transduction system (Lenti-STARR-seq) to investigate CRE in human CD4+ T cells. We identify and validate functional enhancers and negative regulatory elements (NRE). These elements differences stark differences in chromatin modification, TF binding, and nucleosome positioning. Additionally, STARR-Seq enhancers, but not NRE, exhibit transcription of enhancer RNA. Collectively these data suggest that Lenti-STARR-Seq may be a useful tool in the screening of primary human cell types for CRE function, and provides an atlas of functional CRE in human CD4+ T Cells.

Global epigenomic analysis of primary human pancreatic islets provides insights into type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci

Project description:Identifying cis-regulatory elements is important to understand how human pancreatic islets modulate gene expression in physiologic or pathophysiologic (e.g., diabetic) conditions. We conducted genome-wide analysis of DNase I hypersensitive sites, histone H3 lysine methylation marks (K4me1, K4me3, K79me2), and CCCTC factor (CTCF) binding in human islets. This identified ~18,000 putative promoters (several hundred novel and islet-active). Surprisingly, active promoter marks were absent at genes encoding islet-specific hormones, suggesting a distinct regulatory mechanism. Of 34,039 distal (non-promoter) regulatory elements, 47% are islet-unique and 22% are CTCF-bound. These findings present a global snapshot of the human islet epigenome and should provide functional context for non-coding variants emerging from genetic studies of T2D and other pancreatic islet disorders. Three different islet samples were tested for DNase I hypersensitivity by DNase-Seq. Five different primary pancreatic islet samples were evaluated for several chromatin modifications (H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K79me2) by ChIP-seq. One islet sample was evaluated for CTCF binding via ChIP-seq, All ChIP-seq samples have both non-specific IP (GFP) and input DNA controls.

The functional enhancer repertoire of human embryonic stem cells [STARR-RNA-seq]

Project description:We combined Self-Transcribing Active Regulatory Region Sequencing (STARR-seq) with an enrichment step using chromatin immunoprecipitation in a massively parallel reporter assay. We applied this assay, termed ChIP-STARR-seq, to normal (primed) and naive human embryonic stem cells, building up a comprehensive catalogue of functional enhancers. This database record describes the STARR-RNA-seq component.

Systematic Identification of Regulatory Variants Associated with Cancer Risk

Project description:We adapted the self-transcribing active regulatory region sequencing (Starr-seq) strategy to systematically identify the SNPs that affect gene expression by modulating activities of regulatory elements. Among 10,673 SNPs linked with 996 GWAS-identified cancer-risk SNPs, we found 70 regulatory variants for which the two alleles conferred different regulatory activities. We analyzed one of them in-depth and confirmed its target by CRIPSR-Cas9 technology. Our results will help the interpretation of GWAS results and better cancer risk assessment.

Studying enhancer activity by FAIRE-STARR-seq in the U2OS-GR and the U2OS-AR cells upon hormone treatment

Project description:To quantify functional enhancers, we performed STARR-seq (Self-Transcribing Active Regulatory Region sequencing) in the U2OS-GR and the U2OS-AR cell lines (derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96, stably transfected with an expression construct for rat GR or human AR, respectively). U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 14 hours. U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 14 hours. To limit the number of putative enhancers, the STARR library contained genomic regions isolated by FAIRE (Formaldehyde Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) from dexamethasone-treated U2OS-GR cells to include regions that gain accessibility upon GR activation. We added unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) during the reverse transcription stage to facilitate quantitative measurements of enhancer activity for each fragment. The UMI for each read is present within the sequence identifier line (directly following the y coordinate and separated by a ':') of the fastq files.
