Domain-Wide Regulation of Gene Expression in the Human Genome

ABSTRACT: Transcription factor complexes bind to regulatory sequences of genes, providing a system of individual expression regulation. Targets of distinct transcription factors usually map throughout the genome, without clustering. Nevertheless, highly and weakly expressed genes do cluster in separate chromosomal domains with an average size of 80 to 90 genes. We therefore asked whether, besides transcription factors, an additional level of gene expression regulation exists that acts on chromosomal domains. Here we show that identical green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter constructs integrated at 90 different chromosomal positions determined by sequencing, obtain expression levels that correspond to the activity of the domains of integration. These domains are about 80 genes long and can exert an effect of up to 8-fold on the expression of integrated genes. 3D-FISH shows that active domains of integration have a more open chromatin structure than integration domains with weak activity. These results reveal a novel domain-wide regulatory mechanism that, together with transcription factors, exerts a dual control over gene transcription. Keywords: HEK293 cells

Transcription profiling of human HED293 cells with GFP constructs at different genomic positions are expressed corresponding to the activity of the domains of integration

See Gierman et al., 2007, Genome Research (DOI: 10.1101/gr.6276007). Experiment Overall Design: The experiment was performed in duplo, whereby HEK293 cells were grown under standard conditions and RNA was isolated, labelled and hybridized separately. Data from the duplicate arraying experiment were then averaged and further analyzed.

Tiling path analysis of Drosophila Schneider 2 cultured cells to map forum domains

Project description:Forum domains are stretches of chromosomal DNA that are excised from eukaryotic chromosomes during their spontaneous non-random fragmentation. Mostly forum domains are of 50-200 kb in length, although larger domains, up to 500 - 700 kb, are also observed. <br><br>We performed a genome-wide mapping of forum domains termini in Drosophila Schneider 2 cultured cells using Drosophila melanogaster genomic tiling microarray consisting of overlapping 3 kb fragments. We found that forum domains contain clusters of several or many genes inside. The largest forum domains correspond to the coordinately expressed main clusters of homeotic genes inside BX-C and ANTP-C, cluster of histone genes and clusters of piRNAs. PRE/TRE and binding sites of transcription factors are often reside inside domains, and do not overlap with forum domains termini. The terminal regions of domains often correspond to chromosomal sites containing different classes of mobile elements, binding sites of SuUR protein and regions of intercalary heterochromatin. Our results indicate that forum domains correspond to big multi-gene chromosomal units some of which could be co-coordinately activated or repressed.

An integrated genomics approach towards deciphering human genome codes shaping HIV proviral transcription and fate

Project description:HIV integrates semi-randomly into the genome of immune cells and thus proviruses that persist in patients under long-term, highly active suppressive therapy can be detected in various positions (inside and outside) and orientations (same, convergent and divergent) respective to genes, promoters, and enhancers. Thus, this integration landscape heterogeneity can influence HIV transcription activity thereby dictating proviral fate (active vs latent). However, the effect of the integration site to proviral transcription activity has so far remained elusive. Here we integrate open-source, large-scale datasets including epigenetics, transcriptome, and 3D genome architecture to interrogate the chromatin states, transcription activity landscape, nuclear sub-compartments, and topological associated domains around HIV integration sites in CD4+ T cell-based models to decipher ‘codes’ in the human genome shaping proviral transcription. As part of this integrated approach, here we collect nucleosome occupancy profiles in Jurkat CD4+ T cells.

HPV integration generates cellular super enhancer and functions as ecDNA to regulate genome-wide transcription

Project description:Human papillomavirus (HPV) integration is a critical step in cervical cancer development, while the oncogenic mechanism in genome-wide transcriptional level is still poorly understood. In this study, we employed integrative analysis on multi-omics data of cervical cancer cell lines. Through HPV integration detection, super enhancer (SE) identification, SE-associated gene expression and extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) investigation, we aimed to explore the genome-wide transcriptional influence of HPV integration. We identified 5 high-ranking cellular super enhancers generated by HPV integration (the HPV breakpoint induced cellular super enhancers, BP-cSE), leading to intra-chromosomal and inter-chromosomal regulations of chromosomal genes. The pathway analysis showed the dysregulated chromosomal genes were correlated to cervical cancer associated pathways. Importantly, we demonstrated that BP-cSE existed in the HPV-host ecDNA, explaining above transcription alterations. Our results suggest that HPV integration generates cellular super enhancers and functions as ecDNA to regulate unconstraint transcription, expanding the tumorigenic mechanism of HPV integration and providing insights of developing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Impact of cell division on the distribution of HIV integration.

Project description:DNA integration is a defining step in the retroviral life cycle and the basis of stable gene transfer in retrovirus-based gene therapy. Previous studies of integration by HIV-based vectors have shown that integration is not random, but favored in active transcription units. Studies to date have focused on HIV integration in dividing cells, leaving open the question of whether integration target site selection might differ in nondividing cells. According to one idea, division of the host cell might be required for favored integration in transcription units, possibly as a result of chromatin remodeling during DNA replication. Here we have investigated this issue by comparing integration in dividing IMR-90 primary lung fibroblasts to integration in nondividing IMR-90 cells arrested in G1 by serum starvation and contact inhibition. We identified several differences in integration site selection in arrested versus dividing cells, including the frequency of integration in transcription units and in gene-rich regions. However, integration in nondividing cells was in fact more favored in transcription units, contrary to the idea that cell division was important for this bias. These data provide the first view of lentiviral integration in nondividing cells and help constrain models for the mechanism of favored integration in genes. Keywords: comparative genomic analysis, dividing versus non-dividing cells.

Essential role of Cp190 in physical and regulatory boundary formation in Drosophila

Project description:Animal genomes fold into contact domains defined by enhanced internal contact frequencies with debated functions in establishing independent gene regulatory domains. A large fraction of contact domains in mammals are formed by stalling of chromosomal loop-extruding cohesin by CTCF at domain boundaries. 90% of domain boundaries in Drosophila form CTCF-independently, and other proteins were proposed to form chromosomal loops with dual functions of segregating promoters from inappropriate regulatory elements and connecting distal regulatory elements to their correct targets. Here, we genetically ablate the ubiquitous boundary-associated factor Cp190 and assess impacts on genome folding and transcriptional regulation in embryos. Our results reveal that Cp190 is a major factor required for contact domain boundary formation and gene insulation in Drosophila.

Experiment Overall Design: IMR-90 cells (initially passaged 36 times) were cultured in DMEM with 10% FBS until the cells reached 100% confluence, at which point the medium was substituted to contain only 0.5% FBS. The cells were cultivated for 2 weeks prior to harvesting for RNA extraction. 2 arrays were hybridized, using RNA from 2 independent cell cultures. The data of these growth arrested cells was compared to dividing IMR90 cells (Mitchell et al. 2004. PLoS Biology. 2(8):E234).
