Spatially restricted position-dependent implications of lamin A promoter occupancy on gene activity (ChIPs and MeDips)

ABSTRACT: Interactions between the nuclear lamina (NL) and chromatin are thought to occur through large lamin association domains (LADs) and correlate with gene repression in these domains. We show that binding of lamin A/C (LMNA) to promoters occurs on discrete domains that are associated with distinct transcriptional outputs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation identifies thousands of LMNA-bound promoters, primarily linked to signaling functions. LMNA often occupies narrow domains on promoters, yet LMNA-bound promoters are often contiguous. LMNA-bound genes are overall repressed, but repression correlates with co-enrichment in repressive histone marks rather than LMNA occupancy per se. Genes marked by LMNA and H3K4me3 escape LMNA-associated repression in the absence of repressive histone marks. Positioning of LMNA on promoters relative to the TSS correlates with distinct transcriptional outputs: whereas upstream-distal binding can be transcriptionally permissive, TSS occupancy is associated with promoter inactivity. Perturbation in NL organization causes reorganization of lamin promoter occupancy and uncouples LMNA binding from promoter inactivity. Our results show the existence of many spatially restricted LMNA binding events on promoter regions, with distinct position-dependent transcriptional outputs. ChIPs were done from cultured untreated and LMNA-downregulated adipose stem cell (ASC) chromatin. MeDIPs were done from LMNA-downregulated ASCs. ChIP and MeDIP DNA was hybridized onto the aforementioned HG-18 Nimbegen promoter arrays.

Project description:Background: Lamins A/C (encoded by the LMNA gene) can lead to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Objectives: This study sought to undertake proteomic analysis of myocardial tissue to explore the postgenomic phenotype of end-stage lamin heart disease. Methods: Consecutive patients with end-stage lamin heart disease (LMNA-group, n=7) and ischaemic DCM (ICM-group, n=7) undergoing heart transplantation were enrolled. Samples were obtained from left atrium(LA), left ventricle(LV), right atrium(RA), right ventricle(RV) and interventricular septum(IVS). Liquid chromatography combined with mass-spectrometry was used for protein quantification. We compared protein concentrations in cardiac samples between LMNA and ICM groups. Proteins were considered differentially abundant if the quantitative difference was 1.5-fold and corrected p-value <0.05 at a false discovery rate of 0.01. Gene ontology(GO) enrichment analysis explored the related biological processes. Results: 4,247 proteins were identified in LMNA and ICM samples, of which 633 were differentially abundant in LA, 39 in LV, 181 in RA, 52 in RV, and 85 in IVS. Abundance of lamin A/C was reduced but lamin B (LMNB) increased in LMNA LA/RA tissue compared to ICM, but not in LV/RV. Transthyretin was more abundant in the LV/RV of LMNA compared to ICM while sarcomeric proteins such as titin and cardiac myosin heavy chain were generally reduced in RA/LA of LMNA. Protein expression profiling and GO enrichment analysis revealed sarcopenia, extracellular matrix(ECM) remodeling, deficient myocardial energetics, redox imbalances, and abnormal calcium handling in LMNA samples. Conclusion: Lamin heart disease is a biventricular and biatrial disease, characterized by sarcopenia, aberrant metabolism, and ECM remodeling. LMNB and transthyretin were unexpectedly abundant in the atria and ventricles respectively of patients with end-stage lamin heart disease potentially hinting to the possibility of compensatory responses.
