Chromatin accessibility landscape of cutaneous T cell lymphoma and dynamic response to HDAC inhibitors
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Here, we define the landscape and dynamics of active regulatory DNA in cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) by Assay of Transposase-Accessible Chromatin (ATAC-seq). Analysis of 111 human CTCL and control samples revealed extensive chromatin signatures that distinguished leukemic vs. non-leukemic (host) CD4+ T cells in CTCL patients, vs. CD4+ T cells in healthy donors. We identify three dominant patterns of transcription factor (TF) activation that drive leukemia regulomes, as well as TF deactivations that alter host T cells in CTCL patients. Clinical response to histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) is strongly associated with a concurrent gain in chromatin accessibility. HDACi causes distinct chromatin responses in leukemic and host CD4+ T cells, reprogramming host T cells toward normalcy. These results provide a foundational framework to study personal regulomes in human cancer and epigenetic therapy.
