Long-range Pitx2c Enhancer Promoter Interactions Prevent Predisposition to Atrial Fibrillation [RNA-seq]

Project description:Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found that increased risk for atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common type of arrhythmia in humans, is associated with non-coding sequence variants located in proximity to the PITX2 homeobox gene. Using cardiomyocyte-specific epigenomic and comparative genomic analyses, we identified two AF-associated enhancers neighboring PITX2 with varying degrees of conservation in mice. Pitx2c promoter directly contacted the AF-associated enhancer regions. CRISPR/Cas9 mediated deletion of a 20 kb long topologically engaged enhancer lead to reduced Pitx2c transcription and AF predisposition. Allele-specific ChIP-seq and CUT&RUN experiments showed that long-range interaction of this AF-associated region with the Pitx2c promoter was required for maintenance of the Pitx2c promoter chromatin state. Moreover, long-range looping was mediated by CTCF, as the genetic disruption of an intronic CTCF binding site caused decreased Pitx2c cardiac expression, AF predisposition, and reduced active chromatin marks on Pitx2. Our findings reveal that AF risk variants located at 4q25 reside in genomic regions possessing long-range transcriptional regulatory functions directed at PITX2
