Project description:The human ether-a-go-go-related gene KCNH2 encodes the voltage-gated potassium channel underlying IKr, a current critical for the repolarization phase of the cardiac action potential. Mutations in KCNH2 that cause a reduction of the repolarizing current can result in cardiac arrhythmias associated with long QT syndrome. Here, we investigated the regulation of this critical cardiac gene and identified multiple active enhancers in the Kcnh2 locus. An enhancer ~85 kbp downstream of Kcnh2 physically contacted the promoters of two Kcnh2 isoforms in a cardiac-specific manner in vivo. Knockdown of a ncRNA controlled by this enhancer results in reduced expression of Kcnh2b and two neighboring mRNAs, Nos3 and Abcb8, in vitro. Genomic deletion of the enhancer, including the ncRNA transcription start site, from the mouse genome caused a modest downregulation of both Kcn2a and Kcn2b in the ventricles. These findings establish that the regulation of Kcnh2a and Kcnh2b is governed by a complex regulatory landscape that involves multiple partially redundantly acting enhancers.

Project description:Rationale: 22q11 deletion syndrome arises from recombination between low copy repeats on chromosome 22. Typical deletions result in hemizygosity for TBX1 associated with congenital cardiovascular disease. Deletions distal to the typically deleted region result in a similar cardiac phenotype but lack extra-cardiac features of the syndrome suggesting that a second haploinsufficient gene maps to this interval. Objective: The transcription factor HIC2 is lost in most distal deletions as well as a minority of typical deletions. We used mouse models to test the hypothesis that HIC2 hemizygosity causes congenital heart disease. Methods and Results: We created a genetrap mouse allele of Hic2. The genetrap reporter was expressed in the heart throughout the key stages of cardiac morphogenesis. Homozygosity for the genetrap allele was embryonic lethal before embryonic day E10.5 while the heterozygous condition exhibited a partially penetrant late lethality. One third of heterozygous embryos had a cardiac phenotype. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a ventricular septal defect with overriding aorta. Conditional targeting indicated a requirement for Hic2 within the Nkx2.5+ and Mesp1+ cardiovascular progenitor lineages but not in the Wnt1+ neural crest or Mef2c+ second heart field lineages. Microarray analysis revealed increased expression of BMP10. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate a novel role for Hic2 in cardiac development. Hic2 is the first gene within the distal 22q11 interval to have a demonstrated haploinsufficient cardiac phenotype in mice. Together our data suggests HIC2 haploinsufficiency likely contributes to the cardiac defects seen in distal 22q11 deletion syndrome. The aim of this microarray experiment was to compare gene expression changes in the E13.5 mouse heart in a conditional knockout of Hic2 (Mesp1Cre/+; Hic2FL/FL) against control. All samples represent pools of isolated hearts from E13.5 mouse embryos. 3 replicates of each genotype were assayed. The genotypes are: 'WT' (Hic2FL/FL) 'KO' (Mesp1Cre/+; Hic2 FL/FL)

Project description:Emerging evidence has shown that active enhancers are abundantly transcribed, generating long non-coding RNAs, called enhancer RNAs (eRNAs). While putative eRNAs are often observed from RNA sequencing, the roles of most eRNAs remain largely unknown. Previously, we identified putative enhancer regions at the MALAT1 locus that form chromatin-chromatin interactions under hypoxia, and one of these enhancers is located about 30 kb downstream of the NEAT1 gene and -20 kb upstream of the MALAT1 gene (MALAT1-20 kb enhancer). Here, we report that a novel eRNA, named eRNA of the NEAT1-MALAT1-Locus (eNEMAL), is transcribed from the MALAT1-20 kb enhancer and conserved in primates. We found that eNEMAL is upregulated in response to hypoxia in multiple breast cancer cell lines, but not in non-tumorigenic MCF10A cells. Overexpression and knockdown of eNEMAL revealed that alteration of eNEMAL level does not affect MALAT1 expression. Instead, we found that eNEMAL upregulates the long isoform of NEAT1 (NEAT1_2) without increasing the total NEAT1 transcript level in MCF7 breast cancer cells, suggesting that eNEMAL has a repressive effect on the 3'-end polyadenylation process required for generating the short isoform of NEAT1 (NEAT1_1). Altogether, we demonstrated that an eRNA transcribed from a MALAT1 enhancer regulates NEAT1 isoform expression, implicating the MALAT1-20 kb enhancer and its transcript eNEMAL in co-regulation of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in response to hypoxia in breast cancer cells.

Project description:Proper transcriptional reprogramming is central for hosts to launch an effective defense response upon pathogen attack. Relatively short DNA sequences known as enhancers play a key role in gene regulation by increasing the amount of transcription from associated genes. Here, we investigate the Arabidopsis thaliana distal enhancers involved in early innate immunity. Using an integrated computational pipeline, a class of low abundant transcripts that are transcribed uni- or bidirectionally from putative distal enhancers are identified based on intergenic open chromatin. Most of them may be non-polyadenylated, which are in concert with the enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) found in mammalian cells. The production of eRNAs at distal enhancers is strongly correlated with open chromatin architecture, low DNA methylation, as well as the enrichment of RNA poly II and acetylated histone marks. Immune transcription factors are enriched in the PTI-induced enhancers, such as WRKYs and SARD1, and up-regulated enhancers significantly associated with early immune gene regulation. Moreover, a subset of core patterns induced-enhancers was defined which up-regulated by multiple patterns from diverse pathogens.

Project description:We report the effect on genome-wide gene expression after deletion of an enhancer region downstream of Sox2 in F1 ES cells. The Sox2 transcription factor must be robustly transcribed in embryonic stem (ES) cells to maintain pluripotency. Reporter assays reveal novel enhancers, including two enhancers over 100 kb downstream (SRR107 and SRR111) which, through the formation of chromatin loops, localise to the Sox2 promoter in ES cells. Using CRISPR/Cas9 we deleted a region containing these two enhancers, which we term the Sox2 control region (SCR). This deletion revealed that the SCR is required for Sox2 transcription in ES cells. Furthermore, homozygous deletion of this distal Sox2 control region (SCR) caused significant reduction in Sox2 mRNA and protein levels, loss of ES cell colony morphology, genome-wide changes in gene expression and impaired neuroectodermal formation upon spontaneous differentiation to embryoid bodies. Together these data identify a distal control region essential for Sox2 transcription in ES cells.
