Multiplex Enhancer Interference Reveals Collaborative Control of Gene Regulation by Estrogen Receptor Alpha Bound Enhancers [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Multiple regulatory regions have the potential to regulate a single gene, yet how these elements combine to impact gene expression remains unclear. To uncover the combinatorial relationships between enhancers, we developed Enhancer-interference (Enhancer-i), a CRISPR interference-based approach that can prevent enhancer activation simultaneously at multiple regulatory regions. We applied Enhancer-i to promoter-distal estrogen receptor a binding sites (ERBS), which cluster around estradiol-responsive genes and therefore may collaborate to regulate gene expression. Targeting individual sites revealed predominant ERBS that are completely required for the transcriptional response, indicating a lack of redundancy. Simultaneous interference of different ERBS combinations identified supportive ERBS that contribute only when predominant sites are active. Using mathematical modeling, we find strong evidence for collaboration between predominant and supportive ERBS. Overall, our findings expose a complex functional hierarchy of enhancers, where multiple loci bound by the same transcription factor combine to fine tune the expression of target genes.

Rev-Erbs repress macrophage gene expression by inhibiting enhancer-directed transcription

Project description:Rev-Erba and Rev-Erbb are nuclear receptors that regulate the expression of genes involved in the control of circadian rhythm, metabolism, and inflammatory responses. Rev-Erbs function as transcriptional repressors by recruiting NCoR/HDAC3 co-repressor complexes to Rev-Erb response elements in enhancers and promoters of target genes, but the molecular basis for cell-specific programs of repression is not known. Here, we present evidence that in macrophages, Rev-Erbs regulate target gene expression by inhibiting the functions of distal enhancers that are selected by macrophage lineage-determining factors, thereby establishing a macrophage-specific program of repression. Remarkably, the repressive functions of Rev-Erbs are associated with their ability to inhibit the transcription of enhancer-derived RNAs (eRNAs). Furthermore, targeted degradation of eRNAs at two enhancers subject to negative regulation by Rev-Erbs resulted in reduced expression of nearby mRNAs, implying a direct role of these eRNAs in enhancer function. By precisely defining eRNA start sites using a method that quantifies nascent 5' ends (5'-GRO-Seq), we show that transfer of full enhancer activity to a target promoter requires both the sequences mediating transcription factor binding and the specific sequences encoding the eRNA transcript. These studies provide evidence for direct roles of eRNAs in contributing to enhancer functions and suggest that Rev-Erbs act to suppress gene expression at a distance by repressing eRNA transcription.

Sufficiency analysis of estrogen responsive enhancers using synthetic activators

Project description:Multiple regulatory regions bound by the same transcription factor have been shown to simultaneously control a single gene’s expression. However, it remains unclear how these regulatory regions combine to regulate transcription. Here we test the sufficiency of promoter-distal estrogen receptor α (ER)-binding sites (ERBS) for activating gene expression by recruiting synthetic activators in the absence of estrogens. Targeting either dCas9-VP16(10x) or dCas9-p300(core) to ERBS induces H3K27ac and activates nearby expression in a manner similar to an estrogen induction, with dCas9-VP16(10x) acting as a stronger activator. The sufficiency of individual ERBS is highly correlated with their necessity, indicating an inherent activation potential. By targeting ERBS combinations, we found that ERBS work independently to control gene expression. The sufficiency results contrast necessity assays that show synergy between these ERBS, suggesting that synergy occurs between ERBS in terms of activator recruitment, whereas directly recruiting activators leads to independent effects on gene expression.

Estrogen-induced chromatin looping changes identify a subset of functional regulatory elements

Project description:Transcriptional enhancers can regulate individual or multiple genes through long-range three-dimensional (3D) genome interactions, and these interactions are commonly altered in cancer. Yet, the functional relationship between changes in 3D interactions associated with regulatory regions and differential gene expression appears context-dependent. In this study, we used HiChiP to capture changes in 3D genome interactions between active regulatory regions of endometrial cancer cells in response to estrogen treatment and uncovered significant differential long-range interactions that are strongly enriched for estrogen receptor  (ER) bound sites (ERBS). The ERBS anchoring differential loops with either a gene’s promoter or distal regions were correlated with larger transcriptional responses to estrogen compared to ERBS not involved in differential interactions. To functionally test this observation, CRISPR-based Enhancer-i was used to deactivate specific ERBS, which revealed a wide range of effects on the transcriptional response to estrogen. However, these effects are only subtly and not significantly stronger for ERBS in differential loops. In addition, we observed an enrichment of 3D interactions between the promoters of estrogen up-regulated genes and found that looped promoters can work together cooperatively. Overall, our work suggests that changes in 3D genome structure upon estrogen treatment identify some functionally important regulatory regions; however, these changes aren’t required for a transcriptional response to E2 in endometrial cancer cells.

Large-scale analysis of the integration of enhancer-enhancer signals by promoters

Project description:Genes are often regulated by multiple enhancers. It is poorly understood how the individual enhancer activities are combined to control promoter activity. Anecdotal evidence has shown that enhancers can combine sub-additively, additively, synergistically, or redundantly. However, it is not clear which of these modes are more frequent in mammalian genomes. Here, we systematically tested how pairs of enhancers activate promoters using a three-way combinatorial reporter assay in mouse cells. By assaying about 69,000 enhancer-enhancer-promoter combinations we found that enhancer pairs generally combine near-additively. This behaviour was conserved across seven developmental promoters tested. Surprisingly, these promoters scale the enhancer signals approximately following a power-law, but the exponent of this response varies between promoters. A housekeeping promoter showed an overall different response to enhancer pairs, and a smaller dynamic range. Thus, our data indicate that enhancers mostly act additively, but promoters transform their collective effect non-linearly.

Enhancer analysis of rat cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts reveals a collaborative control by transcription factor families [RNA-Seq]

Project description:We used a differential open chromatin approach, coupled with active enhancer mark ,transcriptomic and computational TFs binding analysis to map cell-type-specific active enhancers in cardiac fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes, and outline the TFs that control them. We identified Tead, Sox9, Smad, Tcf, Meis, Rbpj, and Runx1 as the main cardiac fibroblasts TF groups. Our analysis shows that in cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts, distal enhancers, containing concentrated combinatorial clusters of multiple tissue expressed TFs recognition motifs, are combinatorically clustered around tissue specific genes.
