Project description:To advance understanding of mechanisms leading to biological and transcriptional endpoints related to estrogen action in the mouse uterus, we have mapped ERα and RNA polymerase II binding sites using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) followed by sequencing of enriched chromatin fragments (ChIP-seq). In the absence of hormone, 5184 ERα binding sites were apparent in the vehicle treated ovariectomized uterine chromatin, while 17240 were seen one hour after estrogen (E2) treatment, indicating that some sites are occupied by unliganded ERα, and that ERα binding is increased by E2. Approximately 15% of the uterine ERα binding sites were adjacent to (<10 KB) annotated transcription start sites and many sites are found within genes or are found more than 100 KB distal from mapped genes; however, the density (sites per bp) of ERα binding sites is significantly greater adjacent to promoters. An increase in quantity of sites but no significant positional differences were seen between vehicle and E2 treated samples in the overall locations of ERα binding sites either distal from, adjacent to or within genes. Analysis of the PolII data revealed the presence of poised promoter proximal PolII on some highly upregulated genes. Additionally, co-recruitment of PolII and ERα to some distal enhancer regions was observed. A de novo motif analysis of sequences in the ERα bound chromatin confirmed that estrogen response elements (EREs) were significantly enriched. Interestingly, in areas of ERα binding without predicted ERE motifs, homeodomain transcription factor (Hox) binding motifs were significantly enriched. The integration of the ERα and PolII binding sites from our uterine ChIP-seq data with transcriptional responses revealed in our uterine microarrays has the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of mechanisms governing estrogen response in uterine and other estrogen target tissues.

Project description:Estrogen Receptor alpha (ERα) is a key driver of most breast cancers, and it is the target of endocrine therapies used in the clinic to treat women with ERα positive (ER+) breast cancer. The two methods ChIP-seq (chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with deep sequencing) and RIME (Rapid Immunoprecipitation of Endogenous Proteins) have greatly improved our understanding of ERα function during breast cancer progression and in response to anti-estrogens. A critical component of both ChIP-seq and RIME protocols is the antibody that is used to pull down the bait protein. To date, most of the ChIP-seq and RIME experiments for the study of ERα have been performed using the sc-543 antibody from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. However, this antibody has been discontinued, thereby severely impacting the study of ERα in normal physiology as well as diseases such as breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Here, we compare the sc-543 antibody with other commercially available antibodies, and we show that 06-935 (EMD Millipore) and ab3575 (Abcam) antibodies can successfully replace the sc-543 antibody for ChIP-seq and RIME experiments.

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Abstract. Very little is known regarding how hormonal exposures impact the epigenetic landscape of developing tissues in the context of a whole organism, in contrast to the impact on cultured cells. Here we took a global approach to understanding how neonatal exposure to the xenoestrogen, diethylstilbestrol (DES), alters the uterine epigenome. RNA-seq and ChIP-seq (H3K4me3, H3K27me3, H3K27ac and H3K4me1) were performed on DES-treated and control uteri. The most striking finding was differential association of H3K27ac and H3K4me1 at typical and super-enhancer regions of 79% of altered genes. These peaks overlapped with previously reported estrogen receptor a (ERα) ChIP-seq peaks. Conditional uterine deletion of ERα (Esr1cKO) conferred protection of 88% of altered genes. H3K27ac ChIP-seq on Esr1cKO samples showed that 72% of protected genes had a differential H3K27ac enhancer. These data suggest that DES regulates gene expression in the neonatal mouse uterus by H3K27ac association at ERα binding sites near estrogen-regulated genes.
