Dynamic Changes in Histone Modifications Are Associated with Differential Chromatin Interactions.

ABSTRACT: Eukaryotic genomes are organized into chromatin domains through long-range chromatin interactions which are mediated by the binding of architectural proteins, such as CTCF and cohesin, and histone modifications. Based on the published Hi-C and ChIP-seq datasets in human monocyte-derived macrophages, we identified 206 and 127 differential chromatin interactions (DCIs) that were not located within transcription readthrough regions in influenza A virus- and interferon β-treated cells, respectively, and found that the binding positions of CTCF and RAD21 within more than half of the DCI sites did not change. However, five histone modifications, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, H3K9me3, and H3K27me3, showed significantly more dramatic changes than CTCF and RAD21 within the DCI sites. For H3K4me3, H3K
