Two distinct chromatin modules regulate proinflammatory gene expression [scRNA]

ABSTRACT: Various mechanisms have been proposed to explain gene activation and co-regulation, including enhancer-promoter interactions via chromatin looping and the enrichment of transcription factors into hubs or condensates. However, these conclusions often stem from analyses of individual loci, and genome-wide studies exploring mechanistic differences in coupled gene expression are lacking. In this study, we dissected the proinflammatory gene expression program induced by TNFα in primary human endothelial cells using NGS- and imaging-based techniques. Our findings, enabled by our novel RWireX approach for single-cell ATAC-seq analysis, revealed two distinct regulatory chromatin modules: autonomous links of co-accessibility (ACs) between separated sites, and domains of contiguous co-accessibility (DCs) with increased local transcription factor binding. ACs and DCs associate with different transcriptional bursting kinetics, highlighting the existence of two structurally and functionally distinct regulatory chromatin modules in proinflammatory response. This identification provides a novel mechanistic framework for understanding how cells achieve both rapid and precise control of gene expression.

Project description:The interplay between mitogenic and proinflammatory signaling pathways play key roles in determining the phenotypes and clinical outcomes of breast cancers. We have used global nuclear run-on coupled with deep sequencing to characterize the immediate transcriptional responses of MCF-7 breast cancer cells treated with estradiol, TNF?, or both. In addition, we have integrated these data with chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing for estrogen receptor alpha (ER?), the pioneer factor FoxA1 and the p65 subunit of the NF-?B transcription factor. Our results indicate extensive transcriptional interplay between these two signaling pathways, which is observed for a number of classical mitogenic and proinflammatory protein-coding genes. In addition, GRO-seq has allowed us to capture the transcriptional crosstalk at the genomic locations encoding for long non-coding RNAs, a poorly characterized class of RNAs which have been shown to play important roles in cancer outcomes. The synergistic and antagonistic interplay between estrogen and TNF? signaling at the gene level is also evident in the patterns of ER? and NF-?B binding, which relocalize to new binding sites that are not occupied by either treatment alone. Interestingly, the chromatin accessibility of classical ER? binding sites is predetermined prior to estrogen treatment, whereas ER? binding sites gained upon co-treatment with TNF? require NF-?B and FoxA1 to promote chromatin accessibility de novo. Our data suggest that TNF? signaling recruits FoxA1 and NF-?B to latent ER? enhancer locations and directly impact ER? enhancer accessibility. Binding of ER? to latent enhancers upon co-treatment, results in increased enhancer transcription, target gene expression and altered cellular response. This provides a mechanistic framework for understanding the molecular basis for integration of mitogenic and proinflammatory signaling in breast cancer.
