Genome wide glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binding sites upon cortisol treatment in human CD8 T cells

ABSTRACT: To map genome-wide chromatin occupancy of the human glucocorticoid receptor (GR; encoded by NR3C1) in primary activated human CD8⁺ T cells, ChIP–seq was performed following physiological cortisol stimulation. CD8⁺ T cells were isolated from healthy adult donors by immunomagnetic negative selection, activated in vitro with plate-bound anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, expanded in IL-2, and then re-stimulated with anti-CD3/anti-CD28 in the presence of hydrocortisone (cortisol; 100 nM) for 48 hours or vehicle control. GR-bound chromatin was immunoprecipitated and profiled by high-throughput sequencing to identify cortisol-induced GR binding sites and infer direct GR target loci in human CD8⁺ T cells.

SUMOylation regulates chromatin protein network and accessibility at glucocorticoid receptor-binding sites

Project description:Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is an essential transcription factor (TF), controlling metabolism, development and immune responses. SUMOylation regulates chromatin occupancy and target gene expression of GR in a locus-selective manner, but the mechanism of regulation has remained elusive. Here, we show using selective isolation of chromatin-associated proteins that the protein network around chromatin-bound GR is affected by SUMOylation, with several nuclear receptor coregulators and chromatin modifiers being more avidly associated with SUMOylation-deficient than SUMOylation competent GR. This difference is reflected in our chromatin accessibility and gene expression data, showing that the SUMOylation-deficient GR is more potent in opening chromatin at glucocorticoid-regulated enhancers and inducing expression of their target loci. Our results thus show that SUMOylation determines GR specificity by regulating the chromatin protein network and accessibility at GR-driven enhancers. We speculate that a similar mechanism is utilized by many other SUMOylated TFs.

Cortisol (Hydrocortisone) Treatment of Activated Primary Human CD8⁺ T Cells

Project description:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by density-gradient centrifugation using Ficoll-Paque Plus. CD8⁺ T cells were purified from PBMCs by immunomagnetic negative selection and cultured for a total of 8 days. Cells were initially activated for 72 h with plate-bound anti-CD3 (1 µg/mL) and anti-CD28 (1 µg/mL). Cells were then rested/expanded for a further 72 h in fresh ImmunoCult medium supplemented with human IL-2 (100 U/mL). Finally, cells were re-stimulated with plate-bound anti-CD3 (1 µg/mL) and anti-CD28 (1 µg/mL) in the presence of cortisol (hydrocortisone; 100 nM) or vehicle control (methanol) for 48 h. Total RNA was isolated at the end of treatment for transcriptomic profiling to quantify the glucocorticoid-driven gene expression programme in activated human CD8⁺ T cells.

ChIP-MS of GR and GR-DZn in mouse embryonic fibroblasts

Project description:The Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) is both one of the most widely used clinical drug targets and a very potent metabolic regulator. GR belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family of ligand-gated transcription factors that govern mammalian physiology. Upon ligand binding, GR enters the nucleus to regulate gene expression both positively and negatively. It is known to bind to consensus DNA sequences termed glucocorticoid response elements (GREs), but the mechanisms determining transcriptional activation versus repression remain an unresolved molecular paradox. Prevailing models suggest that tethering of GR to AP-1 or NF-κB via protein-protein interactions, rather than direct DNA binding, specifies negative regulation. However, here we show that the repression of inflammatory genes as well as all other glucocorticoid responses, require direct DNA binding of GR. Generating GR point mutant mice that retain the ability to tether via protein-protein interactions while unable to recognize DNA sequences, we demonstrate that response element recognition via the Zinc finger is absolutely required for both transcriptional activation and repression. We have used ChIP-Seq and RNA-Seq in inflammatory and metabolic cells and tissues together with proteomics to reveal that DNA binding of GR is necessary for the assembly of a functional SWI/SNF coregulator complex. Generally, the desired anti-inflammatory actions of GR are attributed to the silencing of inflammatory genes, while its adverse effects are believed to result from the transcriptional upregulation of metabolic targets. Our findings not only challenge classical models and dogmas of GR mediated gene regulation, but will provide an important basis for the development of novel immunosuppressants with reduced side effect profiles.

ChIP-MS of GR and in mouse liver

Project description:The Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) is a potent metabolic regulator and a major drug target. While GR was shown to play various important roles in circadian biology, its rhythmic genomic actions have never been studied. Here we mapped GR’s genome-wide chromatin occupancy in mouse livers throughout the day/night cycle. We show how GR partitions metabolic processes during fasting (cellular maintenance, gluconeogenesis) and feeding (lipid and amino acid metabolism) by time-dependent binding and target gene regulation. Highlighting the dominant role GR plays in synchronizing circadian pathways, we find that the majority of oscillating genes harbor GR binding sites and depend on GR for amplitude stability . Surprisingly, this rhythmic pattern is altered by exposure to high fat diet in a ligand-independent manner. We show how the remodeling of oscillatory gene expression and GR binding result from a concomitant increase with Stat5 co-occupancy in obese mice, and that loss of GR reduces circulating glucose and triglycerides differentially during feeding and fasting. Altogether, our findings highlight GR’s fundamental role in the rhythmic orchestration of hepatic metabolism.

Genome wide binding of glucocorticoid receptor in dexamethasone treated human monocyte derived macrophages

Project description:Macrophages are amongst the major targets of glucocorticoids (GC) as therapeutic anti-inflammatory agents. Here we show that GC treatment of mouse and human macrophages initiates a cascade of induced gene expression including many anti-inflammatory genes. Inducible binding of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) was detected at candidate enhancers in the vicinity of induced genes in both species and this was strongly associated with canonical GR binding motifs. However, the sets of inducible genes, the candidate enhancers, and the GR motifs within them, were highly-divergent between the two species.. The data cast further doubt upon the predictive value of mouse models of inflammatory disease. human monocyte derived macrophages were treated with dexamethasone for 2h, fixed and ChIP performed. Material from 4 volunteers was pooled for the IP.

Genome-wide mapping of Myc, AP4, and phosphorylated RNA polymerase II binding in activated CD8 T cells by ChIP sequencing

Project description:The trasncription factor cMyc is an essential transcription factor that establishes a metabolically active and proliferative state in T cells after antigen priming. However, its expression is transient. To date, it remains unknown how T cell activation is maintained after cMyc down-regulation. Here, we identify AP4, encoded by the gene Tfap4, as the transcription factor that is induced by cMyc and sustains activation of antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Despite normal priming, Tfap4–/– CD8+ T cells fail to continue transcription of a broad range of cMyc gene targets necessary for sustained proliferation. Genome-wide analysis suggests that many activation-induced metabolic genes are shared targets of cMyc and AP4. Thus, AP4 maintains Myc-initiated cellular activation programs in CD8+ T cells to control microbial infections. Naive CD8+ T cells from C57BL6 mice were activated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 stimulation in vitro for two days and genome-wide occupancy of Myc, AP4 and Ser2 or Ser5 phipsphorylated RNA polymerase II was profiled by chromatin immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing.

Ligand-dependent genomic function of glucocorticoid receptor in triple-negative breast cancer

Project description:Glucocorticoids (GC) have been widely used as coadjuvants in the treatment of solid tumors, but GC treatment may be associated with poor pharmacotherapeutic response and/or prognosis. The genomic action of GC in these tumors is largely unknown. Here we find that dexamethasone (Dex, a synthetic GC) regulated genes in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are associated with drug resistance. Importantly, these GC-regulated genes are aberrantly expressed in TNBC patients and associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes. Interestingly, in TNBC cells, Compound A (CpdA, a selective GR modulator) only regulates a small number of genes not involved in carcinogenesis and therapy resistance. Mechanistic studies using a ChIP-exo approach reveal that Dex- but not CpdA-liganded glucocorticoid receptor (GR) binds to a single glucocorticoid response element (GRE), which drives the expression of pro-tumorigenic genes. Our data suggest that development of safe coadjuvant therapy should consider the distinct genomic function between Dex- and CpdA-liganded GR. To study GR-regulated genes and define GRE in human genome, RNA-seq and GR ChIP-exo are performed in MDA-MB-231 cells before/after dex and CpdA stimulation. Each experiment includes two replicates.
