Co-depletion of NIPBL and WAPL balance cohesin activity to correct gene misexpression


ABSTRACT: The relationship between cohesin-mediated chromatin looping and gene expression remains unclear. NIPBL and WAPL are two opposing regulators of cohesin activity; depletion of either is associated with changes in both chromatin folding and transcription across a wide range of cell types. However, a direct comparison of their individual and combined effects on gene expression in the same cell type is lacking. We find that NIPBL or WAPL depletion in human HCT116 cells each alter the expression of ~2,000 genes, with only ~30% of the genes shared between the conditions. We find that clusters of differentially expressed genes within the same topologically associated domain (TAD) show coordinated misexpression, suggesting some genomic domains are especially sensitive to either more or less cohesin. Finally, co-depletion of NIPBL and WAPL restores the majority of gene misexpression as compared to either knockdown alone. A similar set of NIPBL-sensitive genes are rescued following CTCF co-depletion. Together, this indicates that altered transcription due to reduced cohesin activity can be functionally offset by removal of either its negative regulator (WAPL) or the physical barriers (CTCF) that restrict loop-extrusion events.
