Comprehensive dissection of cis-regulatory elements in a 2.8 Mb topologically associated domain in six human cancers

ABSTRACT: Cis-regulatory elements (CREs), such as enhancers and promoters, are fundamental regulators of gene expression and, across different cell types, the MYC locus utilizes a diverse regulatory architecture driven by multiple CREs. To better understand differences in CRE function, we performed pooled CRISPR inhibition (CRISPRi) screens to comprehensively probe the 2.8Mb topologically-associated domain containing MYC in 6 human cancer cell lines with nucleotide resolution. We map 32 CREs where inhibition leads to changes in cell growth, including 8 that overlap previously identified enhancers. Targeting specific CREs decreased MYC expression by as much as 60%, and cell growth by as much as 50%. Using 3-D enhancer contact mapping, we found that these CREs almost always contact MYC but less than 10% of total MYC contacts impact growth when silenced, highlighting the utility of our approach to identify phenotypically-relevant CREs. We also detect an enrichment of lineage-specific transcription factors (TFs) at MYC CREs and, for some of these TFs, find a strong, tumor-specific correlation between TF and MYC expression not found in normal tissue. Taken together, these CREs represent systematically identified, functional regulatory regions and demonstrate how the same region of the human genome can give rise to complex, tissue-specific gene regulation.

A genome-wide screen identifies silencers with distinct chromatin properties and mechanisms of repression

Project description:Differential gene transcription enables development and homeostasis in all animals and is regulated by two major classes of distal cis-regulatory DNA elements (CREs), enhancers and silencers. While enhancers have been thoroughly characterized, the properties and mechansisms of silencers remain largely unknown. By an unbiased genome-wide functional screen in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells, we discover a class of silencers that bind one of three transcription factors (TFs) and are generally not included in chromatin-defined CRE catalogs, as they mostly lack detectable DNA accessibility. The silencer-binding TF CG11247, which we term Saft, safeguards cell fate decisions in vivo and functions via a highly-conserved domain we term ZAC and the corepressor G9a, independently of G9a’s H3K9-methyltransferase activity. Overall, our identification of silencers with unexpected properties and mechanisms has important implications for the understanding and future study of repressive CREs, as well as the functional annotation of animal genomes.

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

Project description: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.

BACH1, the master regulator of oxidative stress, modulates CFTR gene expression [4C-seq]

Project description:The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene lies within a TAD in which multiple cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and transcription factors (TFs) regulate its cell-specific expression. The CREs are recruited to the gene promoter by a looping mechanism that depends upon both architectural proteins and specific TFs. An siRNA screen to identify TFs coordinating CFTR expression in airway epithelial cells suggested an activating role for BTB Domain and CNC Homolog 1 (BACH1). BACH1 is a ubiquitous master regulator of the cellular response to oxidative stress. Here we show that BACH1 may have a dual effect on CFTR expression by direct occupancy of CREs at physiological oxygen (~8%), while indirectly modulating expression under conditions of oxidative stress. Hence BACH1, can activate or repress the same gene, to fine tune expression in response to environmental cues such as cell stress. Furthermore, our 4C-seq data suggest that BACH1 can also directly regulate CFTR gene expression by modulating locus architecture through occupancy at known enhancers and structural elements, and depletion of BACH1 alters the higher order chromatin structure.
