Decoding the Epigenetics and Chromatin Loop Dynamics of Androgen Receptor-Mediated Transcription [ATAC-seq]

ABSTRACT: Androgen receptor (AR)-mediated transcription plays a critical role in normal prostate development and prostate cancer growth. AR drives gene expression by binding to thousands of cis-regulatory elements (CRE) that loop to hundreds of target promoters. With multiple CREs interacting with a single promoter, it remains unclear how individual AR bound CREs contribute to gene expression. To characterize the involvement of these CREs, we investigated the AR-driven epigenetic and chromosomal chromatin looping changes. We collected a kinetic multi-omic dataset comprised of steady-state mRNA, chromatin accessibility, transcription factor binding, histone modifications, chromatin looping, and nascent RNA. Using an integrated regulatory network, we found that AR binding induces sequential changes in the epigenetic features at CREs, independent of gene expression. Further, we showed that binding of AR does not result in a substantial rewiring of chromatin loops, but instead increases the contact frequency of pre-existing loops to target promoters. Our results show that gene expression strongly correlates to the changes in contact frequency. We then proposed and experimentally validated an unbalanced multi-enhancer model where the impact on gene expression of AR-bound enhancers is heterogeneous, and is proportional to their contact frequency with target gene promoters. Overall, these findings provide new insight into AR-mediated gene expression upon acute androgen simulation and develop a mechanistic framework to investigate nuclear receptor mediated perturbations.

Decoding the Epigenetics and Chromatin Loop Dynamics of Androgen Receptor-Mediated Transcription [ChIP-seq]

Ultrafine Mapping of Chromosome Conformation at hundred basepair resolution reveals regulatory genome architecture

Project description:The resolution limit of chromatin conformation capture methodologies (3Cs) has restrained their application in detection of fine-level chromatin structure mediated by cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Here we report two 3C-derived methods, Tri-4C and Tri-HiC, utilizing mult-restriction enzyme digestions capable of achieveing ultrafine genome digestion for targeted and global chromatin interaction mapping, respectively, at a one hundred basepair resolution. Tri-4C identified loops associated with CREs including those involving regulatory elements devoid of typical epigenomic marks, quantifatively revealing alterations in interaction networks underlying dynamic gene control. Tri-HiC successfully uncovers fine-gage enhancer:promoter (E:P) loops at genome-wide level, identifying > 20-fold more CRE loops than in situ HiC. In addition to refined loop detection, Tri-HiC also reveals interaction stripes and contact domain insulation from promoters and enhancers, revealing their loop extrusion behaviors resembling the topologically-associated domain (TAD) boundaries. Tri-4C and Tri-HiC provide robust approaches to achieve the high resolution interactome maps required for characterizing fine-gage regulatory chromatin interactions in analysis of development, homeostasis and disease.

Persistent androgen receptor-mediated transcription in castration-resistant prostate cancer under androgen-deprived conditions

Project description:The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-inducible transcription factor that mediates androgen action in target tissues. Upon ligand binding, the AR binds to thousands of genomic loci and activates a cell-type specific gene program. Prostate cancer growth and progression depend on androgen-induced AR signalling. Treatment of advanced prostate cancer through medical or surgical castration leads to initial response and durable remission, but resistance inevitably develops. In castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), AR activity remains critical for tumor growth despite androgen deprivation. While previous studies have focused on ligand-dependent AR signalling, in this study we explore AR function under the androgen-deprived conditions characteristic of CRPC. Our data demonstrate that the AR persistently occupies a distinct set of genomic loci after androgen deprivation in CRPC. These androgen-independent AR occupied regions have constitutively open chromatin structures that lack the canonical androgen response element and are independent of FoxA1, a transcription factor involved in ligand-dependent AR targeting. Many AR binding events occur at proximal promoters, which can act as enhancers to augment transcriptional activities of other promoters through DNA looping. We further show that androgen-independent AR binding directs a distinct gene expression program in CRPC, which is necessary for the growth of CRPC after androgen withdrawal. LNCaP, C4-2B, or 22RV1 cells were cultured in hormone-free media for 3 days and then treated with ethanol vehicle or DHT (10nM) for 4h or 16h prior to ChIP-seq or RNA-seq assays. For siRNA transfection, cells were transfected with AR siRNA or control siRNA for 3 days prior to RNA-seq assays.

Genetic Evidence for Asymmetric Blocking of Higher-Order Chromatin Structure by CTCF/Cohesin

Project description:The architectural protein CTCF binds to mammalian insulators genome wide with directionality and recruits cohesin to mediate oriented long-distance chromatin loops. In many cases, CTCF-binding sites (CBSs) are associated with distal enhancers and target promoters. It is generally thought that CTCF binding results in spatial contacts between distal enhancers and target promoters leading to activation of specific promoters. However, how CTCF orchestrates higher-order chromatin organization to regulate gene expression is not fully understood. Here we used CRISPR DNA-fragment editing to investigate the roles of CTCF in chromatin organization of the clustered protocadherin (Pcdh) genes, which is an ideal model system with repertoires of CBSs in variable promoters and super-enhancers. We found that the CBSs at chromatin domain boundary and even single CBSs could determine the orientation of long-distance chromatin looping. In addition, deletion or inversion of large regions containing tandem CBS arrays in mice demonstrated asymmetric influences on chromatin looping between super-enhancers and target promoters. These genetic data have important implications on the assembly mechanisms of higher-order chromatin structures.

CTCF knockout in zebrafish induces alterations in regulatory landscapes and developmental gene expression [UMI-4C]

Project description:CTCF is an 11-zinc-finger DNA-binding protein that acts as a transcriptional repressor and insulator, as well as an architectural protein required for 3D genome folding. CTCF mediates long-range chromatin looping and is enriched at the boundaries of topologically associating domains (TADs), which are sub-megabase chromatin structures composed of genomic regions with high contact frequency. Although CTCF is essential for cycling cells and developing embryos, its in vitro removal has only modest effects over gene expression, challenging the generally accepted idea that TADs facilitate enhancer-promoter interactions within gene regulatory landscapes. However, the effects of an altered CTCF-mediated chromatin structure on gene regulation in vivo are poorly understood. Here, we have generated a ctcf knockout mutant in zebrafish that allows us to monitor the effect of CTCF loss of function during embryo patterning and organogenesis. CTCF absence leads to a loss of chromatin structure in zebrafish embryos and affects the expression of thousands of genes, among them many developmental genes. In addition, we show that chromatin accessibility, both at CTCF sites and at developmental cis-regulatory elements (CREs), is severely compromised in ctcf mutants. Probing chromatin interactions from developmental genes at high resolution, we further demonstrate that promoters fail to fully establish long-range contacts with their associated regulatory landscapes, leading to altered gene expression patterns during development. Therefore, our results demonstrate that CTCF and TADs are essential to finetune gene expression during embryonic development, providing the structural basis for the establishment of developmental gene regulatory landscapes.
