Ptf1a binding sites in a pancreatic cell line which mimics embryonic day E10.5 pancreas progenitors.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic specific transcription factor1a (Ptf1a) immunoprecipitated chromatin from 266.6 cells produced 26 million tags with the Illumina high throughput sequencing technology. Many of the mapped tags were genes which were found to be differentially expressed at E10.5 in the microarray experiments comparing Ptf1a heterozygotes versus null mutant mice (study GSE26816). As Ptf1a is a bHLH transcription factor, it recognizes an E Box on the chromatin CANNTG. Since it belongs to a transcription factor complex, one of which recognizes the binding site TGGGAA, we also found this sequence one, two or three helical turns of DNA away from the E-box where peaks were detected.

Project description:The Ptf1a gene has essential functions during several stages of pancreas development. It is expressed in the naM-CM-/ve endoderm and required pancreas cell fate specification; it is also required later in the differentiation and maintenance of acinar cells. To identify the regulatory genetic program downstream of Ptf1a required for early pancreatic fate acquisition, we used microarrays to perform a comprehensive gene expression analysis of Ptf1a overexpressing endodermal tissue at NF32 and NF36. The results revealed an up-regulation on 1142 probe sets over 2-fold. Additional analyses, by in situ hybridizations, identified 9 genes that were endodermally expressed after the onset of endogenous Ptf1a; STXBP1, putative transmembrane protein TA-2, C25H, IGFBP1, IRF1, HALPN3, Hey1, sestrin 1, syndecan-4. These results provide insight into the regulatory network activated by Ptf1a during early pancreas development. In order to identify downstream targets of Ptf1a, two microarrays were performed at different time-points. The two microarrays compared control pancreatic tissue (GFP) and pancreatic tissue over-expressing Ptf1a (Ptf1a+GFP). The first microarray was performed at NF32, hence renamed MA32, 8 hours after the initial expression of endogenous Ptf1a. A second microarray was performed at NF36 (MA36), 8 hours after the first one. Ptf1a+gfp mRNA or gfp mRNA alone was injected into the two dorso-vegetal blastomeres of eight-cell embryos, targeting the anterior endoderm, and 40/48 hours later the anterior endoderm was dissected out. Approximated 15 endoderm explants were pooled for each RNA preparation, and both control and experimental samples were collected from the same batch of embryos; this was done in triplicate at NF32 and in quadruplicate at NF36 (Fig. 1A). For the NF32 microarray, we used the Affymetrix 3M-bM-^@M-^Y Xenopus laevis Genome 2.0 GeneChip, whereas for the NF36 microarray we used the Affymetrix 3M-bM-^@M-^Y Xenopus laevis Genome 1.0 GeneChip; the NF36 microarray was performed prior to the release of the 2.0 GeneChip.
