The SET Oncoprotein Promotes Estrogen-Induced Transcription by Facilitating Establishment of Active Chromatin

ABSTRACT: SET is a multifunctional histone-binding oncoprotein that regulates transcription by an unclear mechanism. Here, we show that SET enhances estrogen-dependent transcription. SET knockdown abrogates transcription of estrogen-responsive genes and their enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). In response to 17β-estradiol (E2), SET binds to the estrogen receptor α (ERα) and is recruited to estrogen receptor α (ERα)-bound enhancers and promoters at estrogen response elements (EREs). SET functions as a histone H2 chaperone that dynamically associates with H2A.Z via its acidic C-terminal domain and promotes H2A.Z incorporation, ERα, MLL1 and KDM3A loading and modulates histone methylation at EREs. SET depletion diminishes recruitment of condensin complexes to EREs and impairs E2-dependent enhancer-promoter looping. Thus, SET boosts E2-induced gene expression by establishing an active chromatin structure at ERα-bound enhancers and promoters, which is essential for transcriptional activation.

The histone variant H2A.Z is an important regulator of enhancer activity.

Project description:Gene regulatory programs in different cell types are largely defined through cell-specific enhancers activity. The histone variant H2A.Z has been shown to play important roles in transcription mainly by controlling proximal promoters, but its effect on enhancer functions remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate by genome-wide approaches that H2A.Z is present at a subset of active enhancers bound by the estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). We also determine that H2A.Z does not influence the local nucleosome positioning around ERα-enhancers using ChIP-sequencing at nucleosomal resolution and unsupervised pattern discovery. We further highlight that H2A.Z-enriched enhancers are associated with chromatin accessibility, H3K122ac enrichment and hypomethylated DNA. Moreover, upon estrogen stimulation, the enhancers occupied by H2A.Z produce enhancer RNAs (eRNAs), and recruit RNA polymerase II as well as RAD21, a member of the cohesin complex involved in chromatin interactions between enhancers and promoters. Importantly, their recruitment and eRNAs production are abolished by H2A.Z depletion, thereby revealing a novel functional link between H2A.Z occupancy and enhancer activity. Taken together, our findings suggest that H2A.Z acts as an important player for enhancer functions by establishing and maintaining a chromatin environment required for RNA polymerase II recruitment, eRNAs transcription and enhancer-promoters interactions, all essential attributes of enhancer activity. The MNase ChIP-seqs in this study measure the genome-wide binding landscape of H2A.Z, H3K4me1, H3K27ac and H3K4me3 in MCF-7 cells in the absence or presence of E2. Two biological replicates were done for each ChIP-seq experiment and for each condition, as well as, control input.

Target Gene Repression Based on Dismissal of Polymerase II from Estrogen Receptor Trans-bound Enhancers Is Associated With Clinical Outcome in Human Breast Cancer [GRO-seq]

Project description:We find that 17-β-estradiol (E2)-bound estrogen receptor α (ERα) is bound in trans to a cohort of FOXA1-dependent, constitutively activate enhancers, inactivating these enhancers by decommissioning/removing enhancer Polymerase II (Pol II), despite recruitment of coactivators. This is based on the surprising recruitment by the ERα DNA binding domain of the histone demethylase, KDM2A, which, functioning independently of its demethylase function. KDM2A mediates recruitment of NEDD4 complexes that ubiquitinate and dismisses Pol II from these "repressive" enhancers, resulting in the E2 down-regulated transcriptional program.

Bromodomain protein BRD4 is required for estrogen receptor-dependent transcription and enhancer activation [ChIP-seq]

Project description:The estrogen receptor-α (ERα) is a transcription factor which plays a critical role in controlling cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by recruiting various cofactors to estrogen response elements (EREs) to induce or repress gene transcription. A deeper understanding of these transcriptional mechanisms may uncover novel therapeutic targets for ERα-dependent cancers. Here we show for the first time that BRD4 regulates ERα−induced gene expression by affecting elongation-associated phosphorylation of RNA Polymerase II (RNAPII P-Ser2) and histone H2B monoubiquitination (H2Bub1). Consistently, BRD4 activity is required for estrogen-induced proliferation of ER+ breast and endometrial cancer cells and uterine growth in mice. Genome-wide occupancy studies revealed an enrichment of BRD4 on transcriptional start sites as well as EREs enriched for H3K27ac and demonstrate a requirement for BRD4 for H2B monoubiquitination in the transcribed region of estrogen-responsive genes. Importantly, we further demonstrate that BRD4 occupancy correlates with active mRNA transcription and is required for the production of ERα-dependent enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). These results uncover BRD4 as a central regulator of ERα function and potential therapeutic target. ChIP-sequencing of BRD4, ERα and H2Bub1 in MCF7 cells treated with +/- estrogen treatment and or +/- JQ1 treatment in triplicates.

Functional Importance of eRNAs for Estrogen-dependent Gene Transcriptional Activation

Project description:The functional importance of gene enhancers in regulated gene expression is well established. In addition to widespread transcription of long non-coding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts in mammalian cells, bidirectional ncRNAs referred to as eRNAs are present on enhancers. However, it has remained unclear whether these eRNAs are functional, or merely a reflection of enhancer activation. Here, we report that 17 β-estradiol (E2)-bound estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) on enhancers causes a global increase in eRNA transcription on enhancers adjacent to E2 upregulated coding genes. These induced eRNAs, as functional transcripts, appear to exert important roles for the observed ligand-dependent induction of target coding genes, causing an increased strength of specific enhancer:promoter looping initiated by ERα binding. Cohesin, present on many ERα-regulated enhancers even prior to ligand treatment, apparently contributes to E2-dependent gene activation by stabilizing E2/ERα/eRNA-induced enhancer:promoter looping. Our data indicate that eRNAs are likely to exert important functions in many regulated programs of gene transcription.

A non-canonical role of YAP/TEAD is required for activation of estrogen-regulated enhancers in breast cancer [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Estrogen and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) signaling plays an essential role in ERα-positive breast cancer. ERα mainly occupies on distal enhancers within genome and requires the cooperation of additional co-factors to tune the enhancer activity. Through in vivo proximity-dependent labeling technique BioID, we identified YAP1 and TEAD4 protein as novel co-regulators of ERα. YAP and TEAD are nuclear effectors of the Hippo pathway regulating cell proliferation, organ size and tumorigenesis. Their non-canonical function as transcriptional co-regulators for other signals have been reported but remains under investigated. Our ChIP-seq data in both MCF7 and T47D breast cancer cell lines indicated that YAP1 and TEAD4 co-bind to the strongest estrogen-responsive ERα-bound enhancers, and their bindings are augmented upon E2 stimulation. Knockdown of YAP1 or TEAD4 showed a global effect on the induction of E2/ERα target genes as examined by RNA-seq, also on E2-induced oncogenic growth of ER-positive breast cancer cells. We used Global Run-on sequencing (GRO-seq) assays to test the expression of enhancer non-coding RNAs (eRNAs), which are sensitive markers for estrogen-induced enhancer activation. Our results supported our hypothesis that the recruitment YAP/TEAD to ERα-bound enhancers is required for enhancer activation. Further studies revealed that the binding of YAP1 on ERα enhancers is a prerequisite for the recruitment of the enhancer activation machinery component MED1. These findings indicate that ERα collaborates with YAP1 and TEAD4 to activate or maintain its enhancer activity. Our data reveals a non-canonical function of YAP1 and TEAD4, which is independent of their canonical target genes, in regulating cancer growth, highlighting the potential of YAP1 and TEAD4 as actionable drug targets for ERα-positive breast cancer.
