Project description:we identified 7 families presenting a new cardiac entity associated with a heterozygous deletion of 2 CTCF binding sites on 4q25, inducing TAD fusion and chromatin conformation remodeling. The CTCF binding sites are located in a gene desert at 1 Mb from the Paired-like homeodomain transcription factor 2 gene (PITX2).

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found that increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of arrhythmia in humans, is associated with non-coding sequence variants located in proximity to the PITX2 homeobox gene. Using cardiomyocyte-specific epigenomic and comparative genomic analyses, we identified two AF-associated enhancers neighboring PITX2 with varying degrees of conservation in mice. Pitx2c promoter directly contacted the AF-associated enhancer regions. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated deletion of a 20 kb long topologically engaged enhancer lead to reduced Pitx2c transcription and AF predisposition. Allele-specific ChIP-seq and CUT&RUN experiments showed that long-range interaction of this AF-associated region with the Pitx2c promoter was required for maintenance of the Pitx2c promoter chromatin state. Moreover, long-range looping was mediated by CTCF, as the genetic disruption of an intronic CTCF binding site caused decreased Pitx2c cardiac expression, AF predisposition, and reduced active chromatin marks on Pitx2. Our findings reveal that AF risk variants located at 4q25 reside in genomic regions possessing long-range transcriptional regulatory functions directed at PITX2

Project description:Pitx2 is the homeobox gene located in proximity to the human 4q25 familial atrial fibrillation locus. Pitx2 haploinsufficient mice are prone to pacing induced atrial fibrillation indicating that reduced Pitx2 promotes an arrhythmogenic substrate within the atrium. Here, we inactivated Pitx2 in postnatal heart and discovered that unstressed adult Pitx2 mutant mice had sinus node dysfunction with impaired atrial conduction, an arrhythmia closely associated with atrial fibrillation. A genome-wide search for Pitx2 transcriptional targets using ChIP-sequencing and RNA expression profiling shows that Pitx2 represses target genes encoding cell junction proteins, ion channels, and critical transcriptional regulators many of which have been implicated in human atrial fibrillation by genome wide association studies. Our findings unveil a Pitx2 postnatal arrhythmogenic function, novel Pitx2 target genes relevant to atrial fibrillation, and reveal that Pitx2 stabilizes the intercalated disc in postnatal atrium. Genomic occupancy profiling of transcriptional factor Pitx2 in postnatal heart.

Pitx2 control and mutant hearts were collected from 3-, 6- and 12-week-old mice. At each time point, three cotrols and three mutants were collected as biological replicates. cDNA microarray analysis was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA).
