Differential contribution of cis-regulatory elements to higher order chromatin structure and expression of the CFTR locus

ABSTRACT: 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.

Tissue-specific CTCF/Cohesin-mediated chromatin architecture delimits enhancer interactions and function in vivo (RNA-Seq)

Project description:The genome is organized via CTCF/cohesin binding sites, which partition chromosomes into 1-5Mb topologically associated domains (TADs), and further into smaller contact sub-domains within TADs (sub-TADs; 40-1000kb). Here we examined in vivo an ~80kb sub-TAD, containing the mouse α-globin gene cluster, lying within a ~1Mb TAD. We find that the sub-TAD is flanked by predominantly convergent CTCF/cohesin sites which are ubiquitously bound by CTCF but only interact during erythropoiesis, defining a self-interacting erythroid compartment. Whereas the α-globin regulatory elements normally act solely on promoters downstream of the enhancers, removal of a conserved upstream CTCF/cohesin boundary extends the sub-TAD to the adjacent upstream CTCF/cohesin binding site. The α-globin enhancers now interact with the flanking chromatin, upregulating expression of genes within this extended sub-TAD. Rather than acting solely as a barrier to chromatin modification, CTCF/cohesin boundaries in this sub-TAD regulate both directionality and specificity of enhancer interactions with surrounding promoters.

Cross-talk between enhancers, structural elements and activating transcription factors maintains the 3D architecture and expression of the CFTR gene.

Project description:Here we examine the mechanisms by which multiple cis-regulatory elements (CREs) at the CFTR locus coordinate its expression in intestinal epithelial cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 to remove CREs, individually and in tandem, followed by assays of gene expression and higher-order chromatin structure (4C-seq), we reveal the cross-talk and dependency of two cell-specific intronic enhancers. The results also suggest an internal monitoring mechanism at the locus whereby alternative enhancers may be recruited when the normal sites are lost. Of note, activating transcription factors such as FOXA2 may contribute to this mechanism. Also, by deleting the 5' topologically-associating domain (TAD) boundary, we illustrate its relative contribution to normal mechanisms of CFTR gene expression and 3D gene architecture.

Looping of upstream cis-regulatory elements is required for CFTR expression in human airway epithelial cells [Omni-ATAC-seq]

Project description:The CFTR gene lies within an invariant topologically associated domain (TAD) demarcated by CTCF and cohesin, but shows cell-type specific control mechanisms utilizing different cis-regulatory elements (CRE) within the TAD. Within the respiratory epithelium, more than one cell type expresses CFTR and the molecular mechanism controlling its transcription are likely divergent between them. Here we determine how two extragenic CREs that are prominent in secretory epithelial cells in the lung, regulate expression of the gene. We showed earlier that these CREs, located at -44kb and -35 kb upstream of the promoter, have strong cell-type-selective enhancer function. They are also responsive to inflammatory mediators and to oxidative stress, consistent with a key role in CF lung disease. Here we use CRISPR/Cas9 technology to remove these CREs from the endogenous locus in human bronchial epithelial cells. Loss of either site extinguished CFTR expression and abolished long-range interactions between these sites and the gene promoter. The deletions also greatly reduced promoter interactions with the 5’ TAD boundary. We show substantial recruitment of RNAPII to the -35kb element and identify CEBPβ as a key activating transcription factor for airway expression of CFTR, likely through occupancy at both the CRE and the gene promoter.

Corticosteroid-induced chromatin loop dynamics at the FKBP5 gene

Project description:FKBP5 is a long glucocorticoid-inducible gene implicated in psychiatric disorders. To investigate the complexities of chromatin interaction frequencies at the FKBP5 topologically associated domain (TAD), we deployed fifteen one-to-all chromatin capture viewpoints near gene promoters, enhancers, introns, and CTCF-loop anchors. This revealed a ‘one-TAD-one-gene’ structure encompassing the FKBP5 promoter and its enhancers. The FKBP5 promoter and its two glucocorticoid-stimulated enhancers roam the entire TAD while displaying subtle cell type-specific interactomes. The FKBP5 TAD consists of two nested CTCF loops that are coordinated by one CTCF site beyond the FKBP5 polyadenylation site and another in its 8th intron, 61 kb further. Loop extension correlates with transcription increases through the intronic CTCF site. This is efficiently compensated for, since the short loop is restored even under high transcription regimes. The boundaries of the FKBP5 TAD consist of divergent CTCF sites, harbor multiple smaller genes and are resilient to glucocorticoid stimulation. Interestingly, both FKBP5 TAD boundaries harbor H3K27me3-marked heterochromatin blocks that may reinforce them. We propose that cis-acting genetic and epigenetic polymorphisms underlying FKBP5 expression variation are likely to reside within a 240 kb region that consists of the FKBP5 TAD, its left sub-TAD, and both its boundaries.
