Project description:Background: Liver cancer is the third deadliest type of cancer, posing a serious threat to human health. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of primary liver cancer. C. sinensis, classified as a definite group I carcinogen by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer), is an important risk factor for HCC. Although many studies have shown that C. sinensis infection affects the prognosis of HCC patients, the specific mechanisms are still unclear, especially the dynamics and regulatory roles of chromatin accessibility. Results: In this study, we integrated ATAC-seq, RNA-seq, and ChIP-seq data to elucidate changes in the epigenetics of HCC after the C. sinensis infection. Many different accessibility regions (DARs) were identified both in tumors and adjacent tissue after the C. sinensis infection. Meanwhile, top TFs whose motifs were enriched in DAR were found, such as HNF4a, FOXI1, etc. Although there were slight deviations, epigenetic changes were found to be consistent with gene expression levels. We also revealed that H3K9ac, H3K4me2, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, and H3K4me1 were associated with chromatin accessibility. Importantly, we also found potential evidence that C. sinensis infection would alter the spatial structure of the HCC genome. Finally, both molecular experimental results and clinical data certified that C. sinensis infection would promote the metastasis of HCC. Conclusions: C. sinensis infection will remodel the chromatin accessibility of HCC, leading to changes in gene expression levels. This study provides conclusive evidence that C. sinensis infection alters the epigenetics of HCC.

ATAC-seq analysis of Eriocheir sinensis muscle

Project description:the chromatin accessibility and gene expression of muscle in E. sinensis in pre-molt (D) and post-molt (A) stages were sequenced by Assay of Transposase Accessible Chromatin sequencing (ATAC-seq) and RNA-seq, respectively.The differntial peaks in ATAC-seq and differntial genes in RNA-seq were analzed. The data was used to analysis the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in muscle before and after molting by combining ATAC-seq and RNA-seq
