Project description:Using eHi-C to map chromatin loops in mouse beta cells
| PRJNA749602 | ENA
Project description:Studying the conservation and differences of regulation between human and mouse helps understand gene regulation on mouse models. Chromatin loop is an important gene regulatory mechanism to drive the 3D regulation between genes and their regulatory elements. Here, we performed eHi-C to profile genome wide contacts in mouse strains B6 and CAST islet beta cells, together with the loops identified in human islet alpha and beta cells from previous studies (GSE195523). The results show that the conserved chromation loop and open chromatin regions highlight the function of T2D risk loci and improve our understanding in islet biology.

Project description:The locations of chromatin loops in Drosophila were determined by Hi-C (chemical cross-linking, restriction digestion, ligation, and high-throughput DNA sequencing). Whereas most loop boundaries or "anchors" are associated with CTCF protein in mammals, loop anchors in Drosophila were found most often in association with the polycomb group (PcG) protein Polycomb (Pc), a subunit of polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). Loops were frequently located within domains of PcG-repressed chromatin. Promoters located at PRC1 loop anchors regulate some of the most important developmental genes and are less likely to be expressed than those not at PRC1 loop anchors. Although DNA looping has most commonly been associated with enhancer-promoter communication, our results indicate that loops are also associated with gene repression.

Project description:Experimental Description<br><br>Mice overexpressing lymphotoxin alpha and beta, mice overexpressing lymphotoxin alpha and beta with concomitant hepatocyte-specific knock-out of the IKK-beta gene, and wild type C57BL/6 mice were sacrificed at 3 and 9 months of age, resp. From the respective livers, mRNA was extracted and whole genome transcription profiling was conducted with hybridization on day 1,2 or 3.

Project description:MotivationThe three dimensional organization of chromosomes within the cell nucleus is highly regulated. It is known that CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an important architectural protein to mediate long-range chromatin loops. Recent studies have shown that the majority of CTCF binding motif pairs at chromatin loop anchor regions are in convergent orientation. However, it remains unknown whether the genomic context at the sequence level can determine if a convergent CTCF motif pair is able to form a chromatin loop.ResultsIn this article, we directly ask whether and what sequence-based features (other than the motif itself) may be important to establish CTCF-mediated chromatin loops. We found that motif conservation measured by 'branch-of-origin' that accounts for motif turn-over in evolution is an important feature. We developed a new machine learning algorithm called CTCF-MP based on word2vec to demonstrate that sequence-based features alone have the capability to predict if a pair of convergent CTCF motifs would form a loop. Together with functional genomic signals from CTCF ChIP-seq and DNase-seq, CTCF-MP is able to make highly accurate predictions on whether a convergent CTCF motif pair would form a loop in a single cell type and also across different cell types. Our work represents an important step further to understand the sequence determinants that may guide the formation of complex chromatin architectures.Availability and implementationThe source code of CTCF-MP can be accessed at: https://github.com/ma-compbio/CTCF-MP.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Project description:Rodent models are widely used to study diabetes. Yet, significant gaps remain in our understanding of mouse islet physiology that reduce their accuracy as a model for human islet disease. We generated comprehensive transcriptomes of mouse beta and alpha cells using a novel bitransgenic mouse model generated for this purpose. This enables systematic comparison across thousands of genes between the two major endocrine cell types of the islets of Langerhans whose principal hormones are of cardinal importance for glucose homeostasis. Our data leveraged against similar data for human beta cells reveal a core common beta cell transcriptome of 9900+ genes and marked differences in the repertoire of receptors and long non-coding RNAs between mouse and human beta cells. The comprehensive comparison of the (dis)similarities between mouse and human beta cells represents an invaluable resource to boost the effectiveness by which rodent models offer guidance in finding cures for human diabetes. FACS purified alpha and beta cells from the same islets. Islets were isolated from bitransgenic offspring of a cross between mIns1-H2b-mCherry and S100b-eGFP transgenic reporter mice that mark beta and alpha cells, respectively. Islets from two replicate groups of 10 or 11 animals were pooled by sex to obtain sufficient material. Pooled islets were dissociated, sorted and collect in Trizol for RNA isolation and library construction.
