The long non-coding NEAT1 is a DNp63 target gene able to modulate epidermal differentiation [ChIRP-seq]

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor ΔNp63, a master regulator of epithelial biology, is involved in regulating epithelial stem cell function and maintaining the integrity of stratified epithelial tissues such as the epidermis. To this end, ΔNp63 acts as transcriptional repressor or activator towards a distinct subset of protein-coding genes and microRNAs. However, how and whether ∆Np63 regulates long non-coding RNA (lncRNAs) expression is not known. Here, we identified the lncRNAs NEAT1 and MALAT1 as a bona fide ΔNp63 transcriptional targets. We found that in proliferating human keratinocytes ∆Np63 represses NEAT1 and MALAT1 expression by recruiting the histone deacetylates HDAC1/HDAC2 to the p63 DNA binding site located in the proximal promoter of NEAT1 and MALAT1 genomic loci. Upon induction of differentiation, ∆Np63 down-regulation is associated by a marked increase of NEAT1 RNA levels, resulting in an increased assembly of paraspeckles foci both in vitro and in human skin tissues. RNA-seq analysis associated with global DNA binding profile (ChIRP-seq) revealed that NEAT1 associates with the promoter of key epithelial transcription factors sustaining their expression during epidermal differentiation. These molecular events might explain the inability of NEAT1-depleted keratinocytes to undergo the correct epidermal differentiation program. Remarkably, NEAT1 expression is dysregulated in those skin pathologies characterized by aberrant keratinocytes differentiation such as ichthyosis and psoriasis, suggesting its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of skin disorders.

Project description:Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important regulators of chromatin; however, the mechanistic roles for many lncRNAs are poorly understood in part because their direct interactions with genomic loci and proteins are difficult to assess. We used CHART-seq to map the genomic binding sites for two highly expressed human lncRNAs, NEAT1 and MALAT1, which localize within the nucleus to paraspeckles and nuclear speckles, respectively. We show that NEAT1 and MALAT1 localize to hundreds of genomic sites in human cells, primarily over active genes. NEAT1 and MALAT1 exhibit colocalization to many of these loci, but display distinct gene body binding patterns at these sites, suggesting independent but complementary functions for these RNAs. Protein mass spectrometry analysis of CHART-enriched material (CHART-MS) identified numerous proteins enriched by both lncRNAs, supporting complementary binding and function, in addition to unique associated proteins. Transcriptional inhibition or stimulation affects the localization of NEAT1 to active chromatin sites, implying that DNA sequence itself does not target NEAT1 to chromatin and that localization responds to cues involved in the transcription process. Paired-end CHART-seq was performed for a single replicate of each capture oligonucleotide in untreated MCF-7 cells to establish binding sites of these RNAs, for a total of 6 samples. To investigate the effects of transcriptional inhibition and E2 stimulation on the localization of these RNAs, we performed paired-end CHART-seq with each capture oligonucleotide for two biological replicates of flavopiridol- and vehicle (DMSO)-treated MCF-7 cells and for two biological replicates of E2- and vehicle (ethanol)-treated MCF-7 cells. To establish the overlap of NEAT1 and MALAT1 binding sites with a known component of paraspeckles (NEAT1-containing subnuclear body), we performed paired-end ChIP-seq for the paraspeckle component PSF in MCF-7 cells, as well as a single-end biological replicate.
