ATAC-seq of sorted cells at day 3 of cardiac differentiation based on HAND1 level

ABSTRACT: The aim of the experiment was to identify HAND1 target genes and its impact on chromatin accessibility in relation to cardiac development. A HAND1-null hESC line was used, in which a doxycycline-inducible HAND1-T2A-BFP transgene had been integrated in approximately half of the cells for HAND1 rescue / overexpression. The hESCs were differentiated with BMP4, Activin A and CHIR. On day 2.5, doxycycline was added. On day 3, cells were dissociated and sorted by BFP level using FACS. Samples were immediately processed for RNA-seq and ATAC-seq.

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.
