Project description:To understand the role of 3D chromatin architecture in establishing tissue-specific expression of the CFTR gene, we mapped chromatin interactions using Circular Chromosome Conformation Capture (4C) and epigenomic data such as H3K27ac and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC-seq) on Capan-1 pancreatic cells.

Project description:Higher order chromatin structure establishes domains that organize the genome and coordinate gene expression. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling transcription of individual loci within a topological domain (TAD) are not fully understood. The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene provides a paradigm for investigating these mechanisms. CFTR occupies a TAD bordered by CTCF/cohesin binding sites within which are cell-type-selective cis-regulatory elements for the locus. We showed previously that intronic and extragenic enhancers, when occupied by specific transcription factors, are recruited to the CFTR promoter by a looping mechanism to drive gene expression. Here we use a combination of CRISPR/Cas9 editing of cis-regulatory elements and siRNA-mediated depletion of architectural proteins to determine the relative contribution of structural elements and enhancers to the higher order structure and expression of the CFTR locus. We found the boundaries of the CFTR TAD are conserved among diverse cell types and are dependent on CTCF and cohesin complex. Removal of an upstream CTCF-binding insulator alters the interaction profile, but has little effect on CFTR expression. Within the TAD, intronic enhancers recruit cell-type selective transcription factors and deletion of a pivotal enhancer element dramatically decreases CFTR expression, but has minor effect on its 3D structure.

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.

Project description:Cystic fibrosis (CF), caused by mutations to CFTR, leads to severe and progressive lung disease. The most common mutant, ΔF508-CFTR, undergoes proteasomal degradation, depleting its anion channel function. “Proteostasis” pathways, i.e. those relevant to protein processing and trafficking, are altered in cells with ΔF508-CFTR and can be modulated to partially rescue protein function. However, many details regarding proteostasis modulation, and its relevance to CF and ΔF508-CFTR rescue, remain poorly understood. To shed light on this, we re-analyzed public datasets characterizing transcription in CF vs. non-CF epithelia from human and pig airways, and also profiled established temperature, genetic, and chemical interventions that rescue ΔF508-CFTR. Meta-analysis yielded a core disease signature and two core rescue signatures. To interpret these, we compiled proteostasis pathways and an original “CFTR Gene Set Library”. The disease signature revealed differential regulation of mTORC1 signaling, endocytosis, and proteasomal degradation. Overlaying functional genomics data identified candidate mediators of low-temperature rescue, while multiple rescue strategies converged on activation of unfolded protein response pathways. Remarkably, however, C18, an analog of the CFTR corrector compound Lumacaftor, induced minimal transcriptional perturbation despite its rescue activity. This work elucidates the involvement of proteostasis in both disease and rescue perturbations while highlighting that not all CFTR rescue interventions act on transcription.
