Chromatin immunoprecipitation and ATAC-Seq data from meduallar thymic epithelial cells [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Aire is a transcriptional regulator that induces promiscuous expression of thousands of tissue-restricted antigen (TRA) genes in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). While the target genes of Aire are well characterized, the transcriptional programs regulating its own expression remain elusive. We used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze the gene expression patterns of Aire expressing cells (mature mTECs and Thymic B cells) and compared them to control counterparts, namely immature mTECs, cortical Thymic epithelial cells and splenic B cells of tissue-restricted antigen (TRA) genes in medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs). While the target genes of Aire are well characterized, the transcriptional programs regulating its own expression remain elusive. We’ve used Assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-Seq) on the different thymic epithelial cell populations to assess chromatin accessibility around the Aire locus in these cells. Moreover, we’ve used the indexing-first chromatin immunoprecipitation (iChIP) technique to assess the occupancy of the Irf8 transcription factor in the Aire locus
