Project description:We compared the genome occupancy for FLAG-tagged versions of the ETS factors ERG and EHF in the normal prostate epithelial cell line RWPE1. Our in vitro binding studies support a model whereby oncogenic ETS factors like ERG bind cooperativly with AP1 factors at closly spaced ETS-AP1 sites, while certain non-oncogenic factors like EHF bind anti-cooperatively with AP1 at the same sites. ETS and AP1 binding motifs were enriched in both ChIP datasets, but the ERG-FLAG bound reginos contained a much higher percentage of ETS-AP1 sites spaced in close proximity, consistent with our in vitro binding data.

Project description:The cornea, composed of epithelium, stroma and endothelium, protects the anterior compartment of the eye from damage and allows transmission of light into the eye. While well described morphologically, no studies have investigated the global gene expression changes in the cornea throughout the mouseM-bM-^@M-^Ys life. We characterized the global gene expression profile of mouse cornea from early development through aging, and compared to gene expression in other epithelial tissue, to identify cornea enriched genes, pathways, and transcriptional regulators. We identified Ehf, an ets family transcription factor, as being highly selectively expressed in the corneal epithelium compared to the stroma, and highly expressed in cornea compared to other epithelial tissues. siRNA experiments and Ehf ChIP-Seq on mouse corneal epithelium confirm the role of this factor in promoting epithelial identity and cell differentiation, and suggest it carries out these functions through interactions with other cornea epithelial differentiation factors including Klf4. Whole eye globes were dissected from wild type CB6 mice. Corneal epithelium was isolated by digestion in 50% EMEM/dispase II with 50 mM sorbitol for two hours at 37M-BM-0C. ChIP was performed with an Ehf antibody, and was sequenced with an input control.

Project description:Ehf is a transcriptional regulator that is highly expressed and enriched in corneal epithelium. To gain insights into the role of Ehf in the corneal epithelium, we performed siRNA knockdown of Ehf in primary human corneal epithelial cells. Primary human corneal epithelial cells were transfected with siEhf or si controls, plated, and harvested at 72 hr.

Project description:E74-like factor 5 (ELF5) and ETS-homologous factor (EHF) are epithelial selective ETS family transcription factors (TFs) encoded by genes at chr11p13, a region associated with cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease severity. EHF controls many key processes in lung epithelial function so its regulatory mechanisms are important. Using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we removed three cis-regulatory elements (CREs) from the chr11p13 region in airway epithelial cells. Deletion of two enhancers and one CRE within a stretch enhancer at the EHF locus caused subtle changes in chromatin architecture, and though EHF expression did not change, ELF5 abundance increased. ELF5 is normally very low in airway cells so we next examined cell types that express more ELF5 (LNCaP and T47D). ATAC-seq experiments in these lines revealed novel peaks of open chromatin (potential CREs) at the 5’ end of chr11p13 that were associated with an expressed ELF5 gene. Furthermore, 4C-seq assays identified direct interactions between the active ELF5 promoter and sites within the EHF locus, suggesting coordinate regulation between these TFs. ChIP-seq for ELF5 in T47D cells revealed ELF5 occupancy within EHF introns 1 and 6 and siRNA-mediated depletion of ELF5 repressed EHF expression. These results define a new role for ELF5 in lung epithelial biology.

Project description:Mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), but are not good predictors of lung disease phenotype. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) previously identified additional regions of the genome associated with CF disease severity. One of these, at chromosome 11p13, is an intergenic region between Ets homologous factor (EHF) and Apaf-1 interacting protein (APIP). Our goal was to determine the functional significance of this region, which is predicted to be regulatory, since it lacks annotated genes. To identify cis-regulatory elements within the chr11p13 region in lung epithelial cells, we first mapped open chromatin, using DNase I digestion and deep sequencing (DNase-seq). Next, histone modifications associated with active chromatin, H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, were revealed by chromatin immunoprecipitation. Predicted enhancer elements were assayed in bronchial epithelial cells using luciferase reporter genes. Two elements showed strong enhancer activity for the promoters of both EHF and the 5’ adjacent gene E47 like ETS transcription factor 5 (ELF5). No enhancers of the APIP promoter were found. Next, to determine direct physical interactions between cis-regulatory elements and gene promoters within 11p13 we used circular chromosome conformation capture (4C-seq). 4C-seq confirmed the enhancer-promoter associations, identified additional interacting elements and defined the boundaries of the topologically associated domains (TADs) at 11p13, which are enriched for CTCF. No strong interactions were observed with the APIP promoter, which lies outside of the main TAD encompassing the GWAS signal. These results focus attention on the role of EHF in modifying CF lung disease severity.
