Project description:Identifying the regulatory mechanisms of genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci affecting adipose tissue has been restricted due to limited characterization of adipose transcriptional regulatory elements. We profiled chromatin accessibility in three frozen human subcutaneous adipose tissue needle biopsies and preadipocytes and adipocytes from the Simpson Golabi-Behmel Syndrome (SGBS) cell strain using an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin (ATAC-seq). We identified 68,571 representative accessible chromatin regions (peaks) across adipose tissue samples (FDR<5%). GWAS loci for eight cardiometabolic traits were enriched in these peaks (p<0.005), with the strongest enrichment for waist-hip ratio. Of 110 recently described cardiometabolic GWAS loci colocalized with adipose tissue eQTLs, 59 loci had one or more variants overlapping an adipose tissue peak. Annotated variants at the SNX10 waist-hip ratio locus and the ATP2A1-SH2B1 body mass index locus showed allelic differences in regulatory assays. These adipose tissue accessible chromatin regions elucidate genetic variants that may alter adipose tissue function to impact cardiometabolic traits.

Project description:Meiotic recombination is initiated by the Spo11 endonuclease, which directs DNA DSBs. We report here that the recombinogenic cores of active hotspots in mice harbor several histone H3 and H4 acetylation and methylation marks that are typical of open, active chromatin. Further, deposition of these histone marks is dynamic and manifest at spermatogonia and/or pre-leptotene meiotic cells, which would facilitate the formation of DSBs at leptotene. Importantly, there was concordance in the overlap of the histone mark ChIP profiles with nucleosome occupancy maps, which were determined by real-time PCR and whole genome sequencing (WGS) analyses of micococcal-nuclease resistance regions across four mouse meiotic hotspots (HS22, HS59.4, HS59.5 and HS61.1). Our study reveals that there are instructive roles of histone acetylated marks at meiotic recombination hotspot cores and that they are necessary to promote hotspot activity and crossover resolution.

Project description:Mammalian chromatin is dynamic and contains structural information that leads to transcriptional regulation of genes by recruiting transcription factors and altering nucleosome positioning. Here, we describe open chromatin mapping using Nicking Enzyme assisted sequencing (NicE-seq) for integrative epigenomic analysis. NicE-seq captures open chromatin sites in both fixed and native cells and reveals the genomic location of open chromatin sites (OCS) and transcription factor occupancy at single nucleotide resolution, with as few as 250 HCT116 cells. In HCT116 cells a large percentage of the OCS were coincident with DHS (DNaseI hypersensitive site) and ATAC-seq sites. OCSs correlated well with RNA pol II occupancy and transcriptionally active chromatin marks, while displaying a pattern contrasting to CpG methylation. ChIP CTCF peaks common to OCS and DHS displayed a strong correlation with H3K4me3 and H3K27ac marks. Further peaks unique to OCS and ChIP CTCF peaks also correlated strongly with H3K4me3, H3K27ac and higher transcription. Similar results were also obtained for Max and Sp1 transcription factors. Using NicE-seq we have demonstrated that HCT116 cells, treated with anti cancer drug decitabine, displayed time dependent accumulation of OCS coinciding with hypomethylation of the genome, particularly in SINE and satellite repetitive DNA. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) were more pronounced in promoters, 5’UTR, CpG islands and exons. In summary, sequence specificity offered by a nicking enzyme allows a means to study open chromatin structure and hypomethylation of genomes, revealing the open chromatin landscape in cellular context.

Project description:The open chromatin regions of nonpregnant and term pregnant human myometrial tissues were assessed by ATAC-seq to gain insight on potential genome regulatory elements in vivo. patterns of accessible genome change between NP and TP myometrium, leading to altered enrichment of binding motifs for hormone and muscle regulators such as the progesterone receptor (PGR), Krüppel-like factors and MEF2A transcription factors.

Project description:We report the application of Next-generation sequencing (NGS) for high-throughput profiling of N4-acetylcytosine (4acC) DNA modification in Arabidopsis thaliana. We find that 4acC peaks mostly distribute in the euchromatin regions and are present in nearly half of the protein-coding genes in Arabidopsis. 4acC mainly locates around transcription start sites (TSSs) of protein-coding genes and positively correlates with gene expression level . Compared to non-4acC marked genes, 4acC marked genes display a higher methylation level of 5mC in the CG context within coding regions, but a lower methylation level of 5mC in the CHG and CHH contexts. In addition, 4acC peaks showed higher overlaps with active histone modification marks than by chance, but similar overlaps with repressive histone modification marks. We observed complex cooperative interactions among 4acC, 5mC, and histone modifications on gene transcription. 4acC containing genes with low level of mCG, or active histone modification marks displayed a higher expression. In sum, we have uncovered 4acC as a hitherto unknown epigenetic DNA mark that is associated with gene expression in Arabidopsis, and suggest potential cross-talks among epigenetic marks for gene expression.
