Dissecting the retinoid-induced differentiation of F9 embryonal stem cells by integrative genomics [ChIP-seq]

ABSTRACT: Retinoic acid (RA) triggers physiological processes by activating heterodimeric transcription factors comprising retinoic acid (RARa,b,g) and retinoid X (RXRa,b,g) receptors. How a single signal induces highly complex temporally controlled networks that ultimately orchestrate physiological processes is unclear. Using an RA-inducible differentiation model we defined the temporal changes in the genome-wide binding patterns of RARg and RXRa and correlated them with transcription regulation. Unexpectedly, both receptors displayed a highly dynamic binding, with different RXRa heterodimers targeting identical loci. Comparison of RARg and RXRa co-binding at RA-regulated genes identified putative RXRa-RARg target genes that were validated with subtype-selective agonists. Gene regulatory decisions
