Project description:Multi-dimensional histone modifications for coordinated regulation of gene expression under hypoxia or clioquinol (CQ) treatment [gene expression]
Project description:We report the high-throughput profilings of HIF1 and histone modifications in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). By obtaining over two billion bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of HUVEC under normoxia and hypoxia. We find that HIF1binds to not only to transcriptional starting sites but also enhancer regions and that HIF1 binding sites were overlapped with lysine 4 trimethylatio, monomethylation and lysine 27 acetylation . Finally, we show that chromatin state can change under hypoxia by using chromatin conformational capture assay. This study provides novel insights into the interaction between HIF1 and KDM3A and also the epigenetic regulation of HIF1. Examination of HIF1 and 3 different histone modifications in HUVEC under 2 conditions. Related gene expression data is provided in GSE35932.

Project description:Post-translational modifications (PTMs) on histones play essential roles in cell fate decisions during development. However, how these PTMs are recognized and coordinated remains to be fully illuminated. Here, we show that BRPF1, a multi-histone binding module protein, is essential to maintain pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (ESCs). BRPF1, H3K4me3 and H3K23ac substantially co-occupy the active and stemness genes in hESCs. BRPF1 deletion impairs H3K23ac and leads to pluripotency exit and closed chromatin accessibility on stemness genes. Deletion of the N terminal or PHD-zinc knuckle-PHD (PZP) modules completely impairs BRPF1 to maintain hESC pluripotency while PWWP module deletion only partially impact its functions. Together, we reveal that the multi-histone binding module protein, BRPF1 co-ordinates the crosstalk between different histone modifications to maintain the pluripotency in hESCs.
