H3K27me3-rich genomic regions can function as silencers to repress gene expression via chromatin interactions

Project description:Gene repression and silencers are poorly understood. We reasoned that H3K27me3-rich regions (MRRs) of the genome defined from clusters of H3K27me3 peaks may be used to identify silencers that can regulate gene expression via proximity or looping. MRRs were associated with chromatin interactions and interact preferentially with each other. MRR component removal at interaction anchors by CRISPR led to upregulation of interacting target genes, altered H3K27me3 and H3K27ac levels at interacting regions, and altered chromatin interactions. Chromatin interactions did not change at regions with high H3K27me3, but regions with low H3K27me3 and high H3K27ac levels showed changes in chromatin interactions. The MRR knockout cells also showed changes in phenotype associated with cell identity, and altered xenograft tumor growth. MRR-associated genes and long-range chromatin interactions were susceptible to H3K27me3 depletion. Our results characterized H3K27me3-rich regions and their mechanisms of functioning via looping.

H3K27me3-rich genomic regions can function as silencers to repress gene expression via chromatin interactions.

Project description:The mechanisms underlying gene repression and silencers are poorly understood. Here we investigate the hypothesis that H3K27me3-rich regions of the genome, defined from clusters of H3K27me3 peaks, may be used to identify silencers that can regulate gene expression via proximity or looping. We find that H3K27me3-rich regions are associated with chromatin interactions and interact preferentially with each other. H3K27me3-rich regions component removal at interaction anchors by CRISPR leads to upregulation of interacting target genes, altered H3K27me3 and H3K27ac levels at interacting regions, and altered chromatin interactions. Chromatin interactions did not change at regions with high H3K27me3, but regions with low H3K27me3 and high H3K27ac levels showed changes in chromatin interactions. Cells with H3K27me3-rich regions knockout also show changes in phenotype associated with cell identity, and altered xenograft tumor growth. Finally, we observe that H3K27me3-rich regions-associated genes and long-range chromatin interactions are susceptible to H3K27me3 depletion. Our results characterize H3K27me3-rich regions and their mechanisms of functioning via looping.

Systematic identification of silencers in human cells

Project description:The majority of the human genome does not encode proteins. Many of these noncoding regions contain important regulatory sequences that control gene expression. To date, most studies have focused on activators such as enhancers, but regions that repress gene expression⎯silencers⎯have not been systematically studied. We have developed a system that identifies silencer regions in a genome-wide fashion based on silencer-mediated transcriptional repression of caspase 9. We found that silencers are widely distributed and may function in a tissue-specific fashion. These silencers harbor unique epigenetic signatures and are associated with specific transcription factors. Silencers also act at multiple genes, and at the level of chromosomal domains and long-range interactions. Deletion of silencer regions linked to the drug transporter genes ABCC2 and ABCG2 caused chemo-resistance. Overall, our study demonstrates that tissue-specific silencing is widespread throughout the human genome and likely contributes significantly to the regulation of gene expression and human biology.

human genome-wide silencers

Project description:Silencers, the yin to enhancers' yang, play a pivotal role in fine-tuning gene expression throughout the genome. However, despite their recognized importance, comprehensive identification of these regulatory elements in the genome is still in its early stages. We developed a method called Ss-STARR-seq to directly determine the activity of silencers in the whole genome. In this study, we applied Ss-STARR-seq to human cell lines K562, LNCaP, and 293T, and identified 134,171, 137,753, and 125,307 silencers on a genome-wide scale, respectively, these silencers function in various cells in a cell-specific manner. Silencers exhibited a substantial enrichment of transcriptional-inhibitory motifs, including REST, and demonstrated overlap with the binding sites of repressor transcription factors within the endogenous environment. Interestingly, H3K27me3 did not reflect silencer activity but facilitated the silencer's inhibitory role on gene expression. Additionally, the silencer did not have any significant histone markers at the genome-wide level. Our findings unveil that aspect-silencers not only transition into enhancers throughout diverse cell lines but also achieve functional conversion with insulators. Regarding to biological effects, knockout experiments underscored the functional redundancy and specificity of silencers in regulating gene expression and cell proliferation. In summary, this study pioneers the elucidation of the genome-wide silencer landscape in human cells, delineates their global regulatory features, and identifies specific silencers influencing cancer cell proliferation.

smRNAs generated by single-stranded and double-stranded silencers

Project description:To investigate possible smRNAs linked to TMM silencing by single-stranded and double-stranded silencers, we determined sequences of smRNAs by the Illumina high-throughput sequencing platform and compared silencing efficiency of different strategies. We found that single-stranded silencer alone could promote the production of smRNAs. smRNA profiles of 2-week-old wide type seedlings (WT) and different silencers were generated by Illumina Genome Analyzer IIx.

Information Content Differentiates Enhancers From Silencers in Mouse Photoreceptors

Project description:Enhancers and silencers often depend on the same transcription factors (TFs) and are imperfectly distinguished from each other by genomic assays of TF binding or chromatin state. To identify sequence features that define enhancers and silencers, we assayed massively parallel reporter libraries of genomic sequences targeted by the photoreceptor TF CRX and found instances of enhancer, silencer, or no activity. Both enhancers and silencers contain more TF motifs than inactive sequences, but enhancers contain motifs from a more diverse collection of TFs. We developed a measure of information content that describes the number and diversity of motifs in a sequence and found that, while both enhancers and silencers depend on CRX motifs, enhancers have higher information content. Our results indicate that enhancers contain motifs for a diverse but degenerate collection of TFs, while silencers depend on a smaller and less diverse collection of TFs.

Transcriptional silencers in Drosophila serve a dual role as transcriptional enhancers in alternate cellular contexts [HiChIP]

Project description:Silencers active in the Drosophila embryonic mesoderm were identified by reporter assays in dissociated embryonic cells. We find that, despite the presence of ChIP peaks for known transcriptional corepressors and marks of repressed chromatin, the only significantly enriched source of mesodermal silencers is non-mesodermal enhancers. We present evidence that a subset of silencers acts by looping to target promoters.
