Project description:We report on genetic and functional data from an asymptomatic female with a large deletion on the X-chromosome. Blood RNA samples from individual II.3 and an age and sex-matched control were analyzed by RNA-Seq in Illumina platform. Total RNA was purified using poly-T oligo-attached magnetic beads with rRNA removal. The resulting directional RNA-Seq NEB libraries were sequenced in paired-end format. Image analysis and per-cycle base calling were performed with Illumina Real-Time Analysis software (RTA1.9). Conversion to FastQ read format was obtained by CASAVA-1.8 and sequenced reads were quality-checked with FastQC. Sequence adaptors were removed with cutadapt v1.2.1, and reads were aligned to the human reference genome (GRCh37/hg19) with STAR. BAM files were visualized by using the Integrative Genomics Viewer. The quantification of reads were obtained by HTSeq v0.6.1. Transcriptome-wide analysis in individual II.3 uncovered 1,026 differentially blood-expressed genes, as compared with the matched control sample. From the 598 RefSeq genes mapping within the X-chromosome deletion, 241 genes were expressed on blood. From these, 117 transcripts have more than ten counts in at least in one of the samples (individual II.3 or control). Only three genes within the deletion (GPR112, SLC6A8 and, FUNDC2) showed statically significant adjusted p-values and |log2(FoldChange)|.Our data suggest that a protective gene-by-gene mechanism occurs at the transcriptional level in the active X chromosome to counterbalance detrimental effects of large Xq deletions.

Project description:In mammalian females, X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) acts as a dosage compensation mechanism that equalizes X-linked genes expression between homo- and heterogametic sexes. However, approximately 12-23% of X-linked genes escape from XCI, being bi-allelic expressed. Herein, we report on genetic and functional data from an asymptomatic female of a Fragile X syndrome family, who harbors a large deletion on the X-chromosome. Array-CGH uncovered that the de novo, terminal, paternally originated 32 Mb deletion on Xq25-q28 spans 598 RefSeq genes, including escape and variable escape genes. Androgen receptor (AR) and retinitis pigmentosa 2 (RP2) methylation assays showed extreme skewed XCI ratios from both peripheral blood and buccal mucosa, silencing the abnormal X-chromosome. Surprisingly, transcriptome-wide analysis revealed that escape and variable escape genes spanning the deletion are mostly upregulated on the active X-chromosome, precluding major clinical/cognitive phenotypes in the female. Metaphase high count, hemizygosity concordance for microsatellite markers, and monoallelic expression of genes within the deletion suggest the absence of mosaicism in both blood and buccal mucosa. Taken together, our data suggest that an additional protective gene-by-gene mechanism occurs at the transcriptional level in the active X-chromosome to counterbalance detrimental phenotype effects of large Xq deletions.

Project description:The spatial proximity between regulatory elements and their target genes has a profound affect on gene expression. X Chromosome Inactivation (XCI) is an epigenetic process by which an entire chromosome is rendered, for the most part, transcriptionally silent. A few genes are known to escape XCI and the mechanism for this escape remains unclear. Here, using mouse trophectodermal stem cells, we address whether specific chromosomal interactions facilitate escape from XCI by bringing escape-specific regulatory elements in close proximity to gene promoters. Our results suggest a model where escape from XCI occurs within topologically associated domains. As such, escaping genes and the regulatory sequences required for their escape are likely located within close linear proximity to each other. The datasets provided include those generated from allele-specific 4C-Seq of genes escaping XCI, genes subject to XCI, and non-genic regions of the X chromosome. FASTQ files, text files containing genomic coordiantes, and BED aligmnets are provided. All sequences were mapped relative to mouse genome build mm9.

Project description:X chromosome inactivation (XCI) silences most genes on one X chromosome in female mammals, but some genes escape XCI. To identify escape gene in vivo and to explore molecular mechanisms that regulate this process we analyzed the allele-specific expression and chromatin structure of X-linked genes in mouse tissues and cells with skewed XCI and distinguishable alleles based on single nucleotide polymorphisms. Using a new method to estimate allelic expression, we demonstrate a continuum between complete silencing and significant expression from the inactive X (Xi). Few genes (2-3%) escape XCI to a significant level and only a minority differs between mouse tissues, suggesting stringent silencing and escape controls. Allelic profiles of DNase I hypersensitivity and RNA polymerase II occupancy of genes on the Xi correlate with escape from XCI. Allelic binding profiles of the DNA binding protein CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) in different cell types indicate that CTCF binding at the promoter correlates with escape. Importantly, CTCF binding at the boundary between escape and silenced domains may prevent the spreading of active escape chromatin into silenced domains.

Project description:Although the chromatin regulator CTCF is enriched at genes escaping from X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We examined CTCF and epigenetic features at escape genes on the inactive X (Xi) in mouse F1 hybrid cells and tissues. We found that escape genes are located inside topologically insulated domains limited by convergent arrays of CTCF binding sites, suggesting loop formation. Xi-specific deletion of a CTCF right boundary of the escape gene Car5b caused loss of CTCF binding and changes of histone modifications at Car5b and abolished escape, suggesting loss of insulation. This is consistent with Car5b lack of escape in mouse brain showing no CTCF binding at the boundary. Inversion of this boundary had no effect on Car5b escape, suggesting that tandem coiled looping could still function as insulation. To test whether chromatin features of the Xi could affect escape we examined mutants in which the Xi-specific compact structure is disrupted or there is loss of H3K27me3 enrichment. We found that both conditions cause an Xi-specific increase in active marks and gene expression at escape regions, suggesting that the 3D structure and heterochromatic marks of the Xi play a role in modulating escape levels of genes insulated by CTCF.
