Early events in transcription and genome organization after STAG2 reconstitution in human cancer cells [Hi-C]

ABSTRACT: Truncating mutations of the tumor suppressor gene STAG2, encoding a component of the chromatin-bound cohesin complex, are present in many human cancer types. Here we report for the first time the early effects of reconstituting physiological levels of wild-type STAG2 in STAG2-mutant human cancer cells. Acute STAG2 reconstitution only modestly affected global gene expression - <1% of genes were altered by two-fold or greater. Only EFEMP1, encoding a secreted extracellular matrix glycoprotein, was induced by STAG2 in all experimental systems tested. There were similarly modest effects on chromatin loops - <1% of all chromatin loops were altered in intensity. and no loops were entirely STAG2-dependent. Loops strengthened by STAG2 reconstitution tended to be small, consistent with prior observations that STAG2-cohesin has less loop extrusion processivity than STAG1-cohesin. The STAG2-regulated “immediate early genes” were not accompanied by STAG2-regulated enhancer-promoter chromatin loops and no chromatin features were identified by integrative bioinformatics with newly generated ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq data that could explain their regulation by STAG2. Together these data indicate that the number of genes directly regulated by STAG2-cohesin is small, suggest that current models are likely insufficient to explain the mechanism of direct transcriptional regulation by STAG2-cohesin, and identify EFEMP1 as a potential effector of STAG2 tumor suppression.

STAG2 mutations and 3D genome organization, chromatin loops, and polycomb signaling in glioblastoma multiforme

Project description:Inactivating mutations of genes encoding the cohesin complex are common in a wide range of human cancers. STAG2 is the most commonly mutated subunit. Here we report the impact of stable correction of endogenous, naturally occurring STAG2 mutations on gene expression, 3D genome organization, chromatin loops, and Polycomb signaling in glioblastoma multiforme. Correction of mutant STAG2 significantly altered the expression of ~10% of all expressed genes. The genes most highly regulated by STAG2 (e.g. FGF7, c-KIT, MAGE tumor antigens) were virtually all upregulated in STAG2-mutant cells. Hi-C revealed that ~3% of A/B compartments switched after STAG2 correction, and confirmed prior findings that STAG2 is dispensable for maintenance of Topologically Associating Domains (TADs). The size and strength of thousands of chromatin loops were altered by STAG2 correction, a subset of which controlled the expression of adjacent genes. Loops specific to STAG2-mutant cells and tumors were very large, supporting prior findings that STAG1-containing cohesin complexes have greater loop extrusion processivity than STAG2-containing cohesin complexes, and suggesting that long loops may be a generalizable feature of STAG2-mutant cancers. Finally, STAG2-regulated chromatin loops were enriched for the H3K27me3 Polycomb epigenetic mark, revealing that inactivation of STAG2 can activate Polycomb signaling in GBM. Together these findings illuminate the landscape of STAG2-regulated genes, A/B compartments, chromatin loops, and pathways in GBM, providing important clues into the still mysterious mechanism of STAG2 tumor suppression in human cancer.

Response of cohesin STAG1 and STAG2 to reduction of NIPBL levels [Hi-C]

Project description:Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion and organizes the genome through the formation of chromatin loops. Two versions of the complex carrying either STAG1 or STAG2 show overlapping and specific functions and both are required to fulfill embryonic development. Cohesin-STAG1 displays longer residence time on chromatin that depends on CTCF and ESCO1 and establishes longer, long-lived chromatin loops together with CTCF. Cohesin-STAG2 shows a preferential interaction with WAPL and mediates shorter loops involved in tissue-specific transcription independently of CTCF. Here we show that the two variants respond in opposite ways to knock down of NIPBL, the putative cohesin loader that is also essential for loop extrusion. Cohesin-STAG1 levels increase on chromatin under this condition and the complex accumulates further at CTCF positions while cohesin-STAG2 is diminished genome-wide. Our data support a model in which NIPBL is not required for association of cohesin with chromatin but it is for loop extrusion, which in turn facilitates stabilization of cohesin-STAG2 at CTCF positions after being loaded elsewhere. In contrast, cohesin-STAG1 is preferentially loaded at CTCF sites independently of NIPBL. Nevertheless, loop formation by these chromatin-bound complexes is impaired and gene expression is severely affected, resembling alterations in Cornelia de Lange patients

ESCO1 and CTCF enable formation of long chromatin loops by protecting cohesin-STAG1 from WAPL

Project description:The human genome folds to create thousands of loops connecting sites that are bound by the insulator protein CTCF and the ring-shaped cohesin complex. It is thought that most of these loops emerge through a process whereby cohesin extrudes chromatin, forming an initially small loop that grows larger and larger until the loop’s expansion is arrested by CTCF. Cohesin rings comprise four proteins: SMC1, SMC3, SCC1, and, in higher eukaryotes, either STAG1 or STAG2. We explore differential roles of especially STAG1, STAG2 and ESCO1 proteins in chromatin organization.

STAG2 promotes the myelination transcriptional program in oligodendrocytes [Hi-C]

Project description:Cohesin folds chromosomes via DNA loop extrusion. Cohesin-mediated chromosome loops regulate transcription by shaping long-range enhancer-promoter interactions, among other mechanisms. Mutations of cohesin subunits and regulators cause human developmental diseases termed cohesinopathy. Vertebrate cohesin consists of SMC1, SMC3, RAD21, and either STAG1 or STAG2. To probe the physiological functions of cohesin, we created conditional knockout (cKO) mice with Stag2 deleted in the nervous system. Stag2 cKO mice exhibit growth retardation, neurological defects, and premature death, in part due to insufficient myelination of nerve fibers. Stag2 cKO oligodendrocytes exhibit delayed maturation and downregulation of myelinationrelated genes. Stag2 loss reduces promoter-anchored loops at downregulated genes in oligodendrocytes. Thus, STAG2-cohesin generates promoter-anchored loops at myelinationpromoting genes to facilitate their transcription. Our study implicates defective myelination as a contributing factor to cohesinopathy and establishes oligodendrocytes as a relevant cell type to explore the mechanisms by which cohesin regulates transcription.
