Genome-wide profiling of histone modification H3K27ac and CTCF transcription factor binding following VPA treatment in HEK293 cells

ABSTRACT: Valproic acid (VPA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor induces epigenetic changes through histone hyperacetylation which lead to alteration to H3K27ac and CTCF binding in the genome. To determine the effects of VPA on 3D chromatin organization, we performed ChIP-seq on untreated and VPA-treated HEK293T cells. VPA treatment results in elevated H3K27ac marks and slightly reduced CTCF binding, which supports the evidence of active transcription triggered upon histone hyperacetylation induced by VPA.
