Epigenomic translocation of H3K4me3 broad domains following super-enhancer hijacking

ABSTRACT: Chromosomal translocations are important drivers of haematological malignancies whereby proto-oncogenes are activated by juxtaposition with super-enhancers, often called super-enhancer hijacking. We analysed the epigenomic consequences of rearrangements between the enhancers of the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus (IGH) and proto-oncogene CCND1 that are common in B-cell malignancies. By integrating BLUEPRINT epigenomic data with DNA breakpoint detection, we characterised the normal chromatin landscape of the human IGH locus and its dynamics after pathological genomic rearrangement. We detected an H3K4me3 broad domain (BD) within the IGH locus of healthy B-cells that was absent in samples with IGH-CCND1 translocations. The appearance of H3K4me3-BD over CCND1 in the latter was associated with overexpression and extensive chromatin accessibility of this locus. We observed similar cancer-specific H3K4me3-BDs associated with super-enhancer hijacking of other common oncogenes in B-cell (MAF, MYC and FGFR3) and in T-cell malignancies (LMO2, TLX3 and TAL1). Our analysis suggests that H3K4me3-BDs are created by super-enhancers and supports the new concept of epigenomic translocation, where the relocation of H3K4me3-BDs accompanies the translocation of super-enhancers.

The superenhancer binding factor Med1 is broadly required for optimally expressing and hypermutating IgH genes as well as for terminating their expression through locus suicide recombination

Project description:Assembly, expression and maturation of the Immunoglobulin heavy (IgH) chain repertoire necessitates long-range 3D-interactions under regulation by the IgH locus Eµ and 3’ regulatory region (3’RR) super-enhancers. In progenitors, Eµ instrumentally supports VDJ recombination notably towards distal VH genes. In mature cells, the 3’RR first boosts the production of membrane-type IgH transcripts. It later attracts Activation-induced cytidine deaminase at three specific locations: VDJ genes undergoing somatic hypermutation (SHM), switch regions undergoing class switch recombination (CSR), and the 3’RR itself during locus suicide recombination (LSR). In plasma cells devoted to abundant Ig secretion, a late long-range effect is to promote high IgH transcription. The Mediator subunit Med1, which binds super-enhancers and has increased activity after phosphorylation by ERK, was previously attributed a role restricted to class-switched cells. We now show its broader impact on IgH expression, both by promoting recombination of distal VH genes in progenitors and by later supporting SHM. Med1-dependence also marks all long-range functions of the 3’RR, including not only intra- but also trans-chromosomal CSR, LSR, optimal BCR expression and the transcriptional boost featured by plasma cells. Altogether, Med1 appears as a major and specific actor of all the long-range tasks effected by the IgH locus super-enhancers beyond transcription.

Mediator complex interaction partners organize the transcriptional network that defines neural stem cells

Project description:Mediator complex regulates transcription by connecting enhancers to promoters. High Mediator binding density defines super enhancers, which regulate cell-identity genes and oncogenes. Protein interactions of Mediator may explain its role in these processes but have not been identified comprehensively. Here we purify Mediator from neural stem cells (NSCs) and identify 75 protein-protein interaction partners. We identify super enhancers in NSCs and show that Mediator-interacting chromatin modifiers colocalise with Mediator at enhancers and super enhancers. Transcription factor families with high affinity for Mediator dominate enhancers and super enhancers and can explain genome-wide Mediator localization. We identify E-box transcription factor Tcf4 as a key regulator of NSCs. Tcf4 interacts with Mediator, colocalises with Mediator at super enhancers and regulates neurogenic transcription factor genes with super enhancers and broad H3K4me3 domains. Our data suggest that high binding-affinity for Mediator is an important organizing feature in the transcriptional network that determines NSC identity.

MM samples for epigenomic translocation of H3K4me3 broad domains following super-enhancer hijacking

Project description:Chromosomal translocations are important drivers of haematological malignancies whereby proto-oncogenes are activated by juxtaposition with super-enhancers, often called enhancer hijacking. To examine this phenomenon we used ChipSeq based on a combination of six histone modifications as follows: H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K27Ac and H3K36me3. Samples are patient-derived xenografts generated by passaging primary patient CD138+ selected cells through the SCID-rab myeloma mouse model.

Defining super-enhancer landscape in triple-negative breast cancer by multiomic profiling

Project description:Here we apply integrated epigenomic and transcriptomic profiling to uncover super-enhancer heterogeneity between breast cancer subtypes, and provide clinically relevant biological insights towards TNBC. Using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing, we identify genes that are specifically regulated by TNBC-specific super-enhancers, including FOXC1 and MET, thereby unveiling a mechanism for specific overexpression of the key oncogenes in TNBC. We also identify ANLN as a novel TNBC-specific gene regulated by super-enhancer. Our studies reveal a TNBC-specific epigenomic landscape, contributing to the dysregulated oncogene expression in breast tumorigenesis.

Hierarchy within the mammary STAT5-driven Wap super-enhancer

Project description:Super-enhancers comprise of dense transcription factor platforms highly enriched for active chromatin marks. A paucity of functional data led us to investigate their role in the mammary gland, an organ characterized by exceptional gene regulatory dynamics during pregnancy. ChIP-Seq for the master regulator STAT5, the glucocorticoid receptor, H3K27ac and MED1, identified 440 mammary-specific super-enhancers, half of which were associated with genes activated during pregnancy. We interrogated the Wap super-enhancer, generating mice carrying mutations in STAT5 binding sites within its three constituent enhancers. Individually, only the most distal site displayed significant enhancer activity. However, combinatorial mutations showed that the 1,000-fold gene induction relied on all enhancers. Disabling the binding sites of STAT5, NFIB and ELF5 in the proximal enhancer incapacitated the entire super-enhancer, suggesting an enhancer hierarchy. The identification of mammary-specific super-enhancers and the mechanistic exploration of the Wap locus provide insight into the complexity of cell-specific and hormone-regulated genes. ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27ac, MED1, NFIB, ELF5, RNA Pol II, and H3K4me3 in wild type (WT) mammary tissues at day one of lactation (L1), and ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27ac, MED1, NFIB, ELF5, and H3K4me3 in WT mammary tissues at day 13 of pregnancy (p13). ChIP-Seq for STAT5A, GR, H3K27a in Wap-delE1a, -delE1b, -delE1c, -delE2 and -delE3 mutant mammary tissues at L1, and ChIP-Seq for NFIB and ELF5 in Wap-delE1b and -delE1c mutant mammary tissues at L1. ChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 in mammary-epthelial cells at p13 and L1. DNase-seq in WT mammary tissues at L1 and DNase-seq in Wap-delE1a, -delE1c, and -delE3 mutant mammary tissues at L1.

3D genomics analysis identifies enhancer hijacking caused by structural alterations and extrachromosomal circular DNA formation [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Enhancer hijacking, caused by structural alterations, is a common cancer driver event that causes aberrant expression of oncogenes. Unfortunately, enhancer hijacking is difficult to detect due to the complexity of the cancer genome. Here we propose a simple yet robust strategy HAPI (Highly Active Promoter Interactions) to identify and characterize such events by following two rules: 1) oncogenes subject to enhancer hijacking should be potentially highly regulated by enhancers, 2) the hijacked enhancers should contribute an appreciable proportion of an oncogene’s overall enhancer activity. Applying this strategy to HiChIP data we and others generated in 34 cancer cell lines, we identified known enhancer hijacking events and uncovered novel enhancers hijacked by known or potentially novel oncogenes such as CCND1, ETV1, ID4, and NKX2-5, which we validated using CRISPRi assays and RNA-seq analysis. Furthermore, we found that complex enhancer hijacking events connecting genes and enhancers from multiple chromosomal segments are often caused by the formation of extrachromosomal circular DNA (ecDNA). Focusing on ecDNAs harboring the MYC oncogene, one of the most common gene targets of ecDNA, we found that these ecDNAs often stitch additional genes such as CDX2, ERBB2, and NFIB from other chromosomes to the MYC locus. These genes heavily hijack MYC enhancers for their activation, a novel insight into ecDNA biology, suggesting alternative therapeutic targets for MYC ecDNAs. Our study provides an efficient strategy to detect enhancer hijacking events, and more importantly reveals novel mechanisms underlying oncogene activation caused by simple or complex structural alterations.

Transcriptional super-enhancers connected to cell identity and disease

Project description:Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that control and define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles super-enhancers play in biology would be afforded by knowing the constellation of factors that constitute these domains and by identifying super-enhancers across the spectrum of human cell types. We describe here the population of transcription factors, cofactors, chromatin regulators and core transcription apparatus that occupy super-enhancers in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and evidence that super-enhancers are highly transcribed. We then use epigenomic data to produce a catalogue of super-enhancers in a broad range of human cell types. These super-enhancer domains are associated with genes encoding master transcription factors and other components that play important roles in the biology of these cells. Interestingly, sequence variation associated with a broad spectrum of diseases is especially enriched in the super-enhancers of disease-relevant cell types. Furthermore, we find that cancer cells generate super-enhancers at oncogenes and other genes that play important roles in tumor pathogenesis. We discuss these insights and their implications for future study of human health and disease.
