Systematic mapping of functional enhancer-promoter connections with CRISPR interference

ABSTRACT: Gene expression in mammals is regulated by noncoding elements that can impact physiology and disease, yet the functions and target genes of most noncoding elements remain unknown. We present a high-throughput approach that uses CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) to discover regulatory elements and identify their target genes. We assess >1 megabase (Mb) of sequence in the vicinity of 2 essential transcription factors, MYC and GATA1, and identify 9 distal enhancers that control gene expression and cellular proliferation. Quantitative features of chromatin state and chromosome conformation distinguish the 7 enhancers that regulate MYC from other elements that do not, suggesting a strategy for predicting enhancer-promoter connectivity. This CRISPRi-based approach can be applied to dissect transcriptional networks and interpret the contributions of noncoding genetic variation to human disease.

Obesity-associated variants within FTO form long-range functional connections with IRX3

Project description:Genome-wide association studies in diverse populations have reproducibly associated variants within introns of FTO with increased risk for obesity and type-2 diabetes.While the molecular mechanisms linking these noncoding variants with obesity are not immediately obvious, subsequent studies in mice demonstrated that FTO expression levels influence body mass and composition phenotypes. Yet, no direct connection between the obesity-associated intronic variants and FTO expression or function has been made. We show that the obesity-associated noncoding sequences within FTO are functionally connected, at megabase distances, primarily with the homeobox gene IRX3, rather than with FTO. 4C-seq samples for Fto/fto and Irx3/irx3a genes promoters in different samples: adult mouse brain, E9.5 mouse embryos and 24hpf zebrafish embryos.

Mapping the functional impact of non-coding regulatory elements in primary T cells through single-cell CRISPR screens

Project description:The vast majority of complex disease associations cannot be cleanly mapped to a gene, as they often lie within the non-cding fraction of the genome. Immune disease-associated variants are enriched within regulatory elements, such as distal enhancers, found in T cell-specific open chromatin regions. To identify the genes modulated by these regulatory elements, we developed a CRISPRi-based single-cell functional screening approach in primary human CD4+ T cells. We performed a proof-of-concept screen targeting 45 non-coding regulatory elements and 35 transcription start sites, each targeted by 4 different gRNAs. We profiled approximately 250,000 CD4+ T cell single-cell transcriptomes using 3' 10X Genomics.

ChIP-seq following CRISPRi perturbations to MYC enhancers in K562 cells

Project description:We previous identified enhancers that regulate MYC expression in K562 cells (Fulco et al. Science 2016). Here, we perturbed MYC enhancers with individual CRISPRi gRNAs and performed ChIP-seq to study the effects on chromatin state.

Modular regulation of Myc transcription by a topologically defined enhancer cluster dedicated to pluripotency and early embryonic expression [WGS]

Project description:The transcription factor MYC plays essential roles in pluripotent stem cells, including the promotion of somatic cell reprogramming to pluripotency and the regulation of cell competition and embryonic diapause; however, how Myc expression is regulated in this context remains unknown. The Myc gene lies within a ~3-megabase gene desert that contains multiple cisregulatory elements. We used large-scale genomic deletions/inversions, BAC transgenesis and nested deletion of regulatory regions to characterize the cis-regulation of Myc transcription in the early mouse embryo and Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs). We identified an Early Embryonic Expression (EEE) topologically-associated region that homes enhancers dedicated to Myc transcriptional regulation in stem cells of the early embryo, including the pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass, pre-implantation and post-implantation epiblast and other early embryonic stem cell populations. Within this region, we identified elements exclusively dedicated to Myc regulation in pluripotent cells, with distinct enhancers that sequentially regulate Myc ranscription during naive and formative pluripotency. Deletion of these pluripotency-specific enhancers dampens the competitive ability of ESCs. These results identify a topologically defined enhancer cluster dedicated to early embryonic expression and uncover a modular mechanism for the regulation of Myc expression in different states of pluripotency.

Activity-by-Contact model of enhancer specificity from thousands of CRISPR perturbations [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mammalian genomes harbor millions of noncoding elements called enhancers that quantitatively regulate gene expression, but the mechanisms that determine which enhancers regulate which genes are not well understood. Here we describe a high-throughput approach, based on CRISPR interference, RNA FISH, and flow cytometry (CRISPRi-FlowFISH), to perturb enhancers in the genome and apply it to test >3,000 potential regulatory enhancer-gene connections across multiple genomic loci. Seemingly complex patterns of enhancer-gene connections in this dataset can largely be explained by a simple quantitative Activity-by-Contact (ABC) model, in which the effect of a candidate enhancer on a target gene is predicted by the intrinsic activity of the enhancer multiplied by the contact frequency between the enhancer and promoter. This ABC score can identify regulatory enhancer-gene connections and predict their quantitative effects from DNase-Seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq, and Hi-C measurements. The ABC model can explain even complex regulatory phenomena including the ability of an enhancer to “skip” over one gene to regulate a more distant one. Our approach provides a foundation for dissecting mechanisms of enhancer-gene regulation and predicting enhancer-gene connections across cell types.
