Project description:Mammalian sex is determined by a network of antagonistic genes that are well characterized. However, its non-coding regulation is still largely unknown. Here we explore the 3D chromatin landscape of sex determination in vivo. We integrate Hi-C with ChIP-seq experiments using METALoci, a novel genome spatial auto-correlation analysis approach that identifies 3D regulatory hubs across the genome. We uncover a prominent rewiring of chromatin interactions during sex determination. By combining predictive approaches and validations in transgenic mice we identify a novel Fgf9 regulatory hub, which deletion results in male-to-female sex reversal.

Project description:Recent sequencing-based experiments mapping ensemble interaction frequency among regulatory elements in cancer cells support the existence of complex topological assemblies of enhancers and promoters known as promoter-enhancer hubs or cliques. Yet, the prevalence of promoter-enhancer hubs in individual cells, factors regulating their dynamics and assembly, as well as their role in transcriptional dysregulation in cancer remain unclear. Here, we systematically integrated functional genomics, transcription factor screening, and optical mapping of promoter-enhancer interactions to identify key promoter-enhancer hubs, examine heterogeneity of their assembly, determine their regulators, and elucidate their role in gene expression control in individual triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Optical mapping of individual SOX9 and MYC alleles revealed the existence of frequent multiway interactions among gene promoters and enhancers within promoter-enhancer hubs. Our single-allele studies further demonstrated that lineage-determining SOX9 and signaling-dependent NOTCH1 transcription factors compact MYC and SOX9 promoter-enhancer hubs, respectively. Together, our findings suggest that promoter-enhancer hubs are dynamic and heterogeneous topological assemblies controlled by oncogenic transcription factors potentially in a cancer subtype-restricted manner to facilitate aberrant gene expression.

Project description:Extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) is prevalent in human cancers and mediates high oncogene expression through gene amplification and altered gene regulation. Gene induction typically involves cis regulatory elements that contact and activate genes on the same chromosome. Here we show that ecDNA hubs, clusters of ~10-100 ecDNAs within the nucleus, enable intermolecular enhancer-gene interactions to promote oncogene overexpression in trans. ecDNAs encoding multiple distinct oncogenes form hubs in diverse cancer cell types and primary tumors. Each ecDNA is more likely to transcribe the oncogene when spatially clustered with additional ecDNAs. ecDNA hubs are tethered by the BET protein BRD4 in a MYC-amplified colorectal cancer cell line. BET inhibitor JQ1 disperses ecDNA hubs and preferentially inhibits ecDNA-based oncogene transcription. A BRD4-bound promoter in PVT1 is ectopically fused to MYC and duplicated in ecDNA, receiving promiscuous enhancer input to drive potent MYC expression. PVT1 promoter on a heterologous episome suffices to mediate gene activation in trans by ecDNA hubs in a JQ1-sensitive manner. Systematic CRISPRi silencing of ecDNA enhancers reveal intermolecular enhancer-gene activation among multiple oncogene loci amplified on distinct ecDNAs. Together, these results demonstrate that ecDNA hubs are protein-tethered clusters of ecDNAs which enable intermolecular transcriptional regulation. ecDNA hubs may act as units of oncogene function, cooperative evolution, and potential targets for cancer therapy.
