Circularized chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq) in A549 cells after glucocorticoid re-induction

ABSTRACT: We performed 4C-seq in the A549 cell line to investigate changes in chromatin interactions at the ZBTB16 locus. Cells were treated with either 100 nM dexamethasone or 0.1% ethanol. After 4 hours, cells were washed 2x with PBS and cultured in hormone-free medium for 24 hours, after which cells were treated again for 4 hours with either 100 nM dexamethasone or 0.1% ethanol. Experiments were performed in two biological replicates. For each treatment, 4C-seq data were generated for the following two viewpoints: ZBTB16 promoter-proximal viewpoint coordinates: chr11:113929670-113930464 (hg19) ZBTB16 intronic viewpoint coordinates: chr11:114051224-114051804 (hg19)

Project description:The spatial organization of genes in the interphase nucleus plays an important role in establishment and regulation of gene expression. Contradicting results have been reported to date, with little consensus about the dynamics of nuclear organization and the features of the contact loci. In this study we investigated the properties and dynamics of genomic loci that are in contact with glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-responsive loci. We took a systematic approach, combining genome-wide interaction profiling by the chromosome conformation capture-on-chip (4C) technology with expression, protein occupancy, and chromatin accessibility profiles. This approach allowed a comprehensive analysis of how distinct features of the linear genome are organized in the three-dimensional nuclear space in the context of rapid gene regulation. We found that the transcriptional response to GR occurs without dramatic nuclear reorganization. Moreover, contrary to the view of transcription-driven organization, even genes with opposite transcriptional responses co-localize. Regions contacting GR-regulated genes are not particularly enriched for GR-regulated loci or for any functional group of genes, suggesting that these subnuclear environments are not organized to respond to a specific factor. The contact regions are, however, highly enriched for DNaseI hypersensitive sites which represent the entire cell type-specific regulatory sites. These findings indicate that the nucleus is pre-organized in a conformation allowing rapid transcriptional reprogramming, and suggest that a major force in shaping genome architecture is the repertoire of chromatin binding factors. Numerous open chromatin loci may be arranged in nuclear domains that are poised to respond to diverse signals in general, and to permit efficient gene regulation. Fourteen arrays total: Eight microarrays from individual biological replicates, and six microarrays each from a pool of two biological replicates. This submission represents the chromosome conformation capture-on-chip component of the study. The expression data are included in GSE26189.
