ATAC-seq data in mouse and zebrafish limbs

ABSTRACT: Assay for Transposable Accessible Chromatin (ATAC) reveals a genome wide view of areas of open chromatin at very high resolution, which are often associated with regulatory activity. The ATAC-seq technology uses a Tn5 transposase loaded with nex-generation sequencing primers in order to simultaneously fragment areas of open chromatin and ligate adapters.

There is no obvious morphological counterpart of the autopod (wrist/ankle and digits) in living fishes. Comparative molecular data may provide insight into understanding both the homology of elements and the evolutionary developmental mechanisms behind the fin to limb transition. In mouse limbs the autopod is built by a "late" phase of Hoxd and Hoxa gene expression, orchestrated by a set of enhancers located at the 5' end of each cluster. Despite a detailed mechanistic understanding of mouse lim ...[more]

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a devastating liver cancer characterized by high aggressiveness and resistance to therapy, which results to poor prognosis. Signals imposed by oncogenic pathways, such as transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) frequently contribute to CCA development. In this study, we explored novel effectors of the TGFβ pathway in CCA by gene expression profiling. We identified the long non-coding RNA LINC00313 as a novel target gene of TGFβ signalling in CCA cells. TGFβ induced LINC00313 expression in a TβRI/Smad-dependent manner. Subcellular fractionation showed that LINC00313 is a predominantly nuclear lncRNA. By integrating RNA-seq and ATAC-seq data from LINC00313 over-expressing cells, we observed that LINC00313 regulates the expression of several genes involved in the Wnt signalling pathway. As a proof of concept, we focused on the gene encoding transcription factor 7 (TCF7), a major effector that drives transcription of Wnt-target genes. LINC00313 gain of function resulted in increased TCF7 expression, while its loss of function diminished basal or TGFβ-induced TCF7 expression levels. Interestingly, LINC00313 enhanced basal or chemically induced TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses, promoted colony-forming capacities of CCA cells in vitro and accelerated tumor growth in vivo. We also report that genes associated with LINC00313 over-expression recapitulate poor prognosis human CCA associated with a reduced overall survival and KRAS mutations. To decipher the underlying molecular functions of LINC00313, we identified its interacting proteins by performing an unbiased RNA pull-down assay followed by mass spectrometry. We demonstrated that actin-like 6A (ACTL6A), a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex specifically binds to LINC00313 and impacts TCF7 expression and TCF/LEF signalling output. Thus, we propose a model whereby TGFβ induces LINC00313, in order to regulate the expression of a subset of target genes, such as TCF7 possibly in co-operation with the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, via establishing direct interaction with ACTL6A. By regulating key genes of the Wnt pathway, LINC00313 fine-tunes Wnt/TCF/LEF-dependent transcriptional responses and boosts cholangiocarcinogenesis.
