ChIP profiling by array of histone modifications in normal human islets


ABSTRACT: This experiment used ChIP-seq technology to create a genome-wide profile of histone marks in normal human pancreatic islets. In the current work we analyzed two histone marks associated with gene expression (H3K4me3, H3K4me1) and marks associated with gene repression(H3K27me3). Each mark was anayzed using samples obtained from four donors (n=4). Chromatin Immunoprecipitations (ChIPs) for histone marks were performed using specific anti-histone antibodies. Enrichment of each sample was calulated with respect to its individual input using qPCR. Samples were sequenced with Solexa and sequenced DNA from both Input (n=4) and ChIP (n = 4) samples were aligned to the NCBI Genome Build 36.1 Ð Hg18 to determine regions that were enriched for binding by modified histones. Chromatin modifications were related to gene expression levels.

The global diabetes epidemic poses a major challenge. Epigenetic events contribute to the etiology of diabetes; however, the lack of epigenomic analysis has limited the elucidation of the mechanistic basis for this link. To determine the epigenetic architecture of human pancreatic islets we mapped the genome-wide locations of four histone marks: three associated with gene activation-H3K4me1, H3K4me2, and H3K4me3-and one associated with gene repression, H3K27me3. Interestingly, the promoters of t  ...[more]
