Genome-Wide Phylogenetic Analysis, Expression Pattern, and Transcriptional Regulatory Network of the Pig C/EBP Gene Family.

ABSTRACT: The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP) transcription factors (TFs) regulate many important biological processes, such as energy metabolism, inflammation, cell proliferation etc. A genome-wide gene identification revealed the presence of a total of 99 C/EBP genes in pig and 19 eukaryote genomes. Phylogenetic analysis showed that all C/EBP TFs were classified into 6 subgroups named C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, C/EBPδ, C/EBPε, C/EBPγ, and C/EBPζ. Gene expression analysis showed that the C/EBPα, C/EBPβ, C/EBPδ, C/EBPγ, and C/EBPζ genes were expressed ubiquitously with inconsistent expression patterns in various pig tissues. Moreover, a pig C/EBP regulatory network was constructed, including C/EBP genes, TFs and miRNAs. A total of 27 feed-forward loop (FFL) motifs were detected in the pig C/EBP regulatory network. Based on the RNA-seq data, gene expression patterns related to FFL sub-network were analyzed in 27 adult pig tissues. Certain FFL motifs may be tissue specific. Functional enrichment analysis indicated that C/EBP and its target genes are involved in many important biological pathways. These results provide valuable information that clarifies the evolutionary relationships of the C/EBP family and contributes to the understanding of the biological function of C/EBP genes.

Project description:Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in female cancers, and what’s worse, tamoxifen resistance occurs in almost 30% breast cancer patients and has seriously attenuated the therapeutic effect. It is widely studied that epigenetic regulation has played important role in the development of tamoxifen resistance. FOXA1 is a pioneer transcription factor that can translate epigenetic signature into transcription regulation and also drive genome-wide enhancer reprogramming in breast cancer. However, the chromatin super enhancer landscape orchestrated by FOXA1 and the key downstream targets of the FOXA1 oncogenic network in tamoxifen resistance remain elusive. Through analyzing the FOXA1 ChIP-seq data in tamoxifen sensitive MCF7 and tamoxifen resistant MCF7/TamR cells, we show that the FOXA1 chromatin occupancy is enhanced in both the promoter and enhancer regions, and the recruitment events may be E2 dependent in both MCF7 and MCF7/TamR cells. By integratively analyzing the FOXA1 ChIP-seq data and RNA-seq data of MCF7 and MCF7/TamR cells, we find that the enhanced or reduced FOXA1 chromatin binding densities may synchronize the transcriptional activity in tamoxifen resistance. Besides, we identify 1003 super enhancer associated protein coding genes and five super enhancer associated lncRNAs (ATP1A1−AS1, CASC11, CASC15, KCTD21−AS1, LINC00885) in tamoxifen resistance. By KM survival analysis, we find that high expression level of ATP1A1−AS1 and its sense transcript ATP1A1 indicates favorable clinical outcome among the luminal endocrine treated breast cancer patients. Further coexpression analysis indicates that ATP1A1-AS1 is significantly correlated with ATP1A1, and RT-qPCR results show that they both are downregulated in MCF7/TamR cells. Our study shows that the FOXA1 transcriptional regulatory network may promote the development of tamoxifen resistance, and identifies one super enhancer associated lncRNA ATP1A1-AS1 that may work as promising biomarker or drug target in tamoxifen resistance.
