Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Project description:ATAC-seq was performed, mapped, and analyzed as previously described (PMID: 34446717: \\"ATAC-seq was performed on 50,000 cells per replicate as described in Buenrostro et al. (with modifications based on Corces et al.), on EpiSCs and PSM-differentiated cell populations at desired time-points. Libraries were generated using the Ad1_noMX and Ad2.1–2.16 barcoded primers64 and amplified for 10 total PCR cycles. Libraries were purified with AMPure XP beads to remove contaminating primer dimers and fragments >1,000 bp. Library quality was assessed using the Fragment analyzer and quantitated by Qubit assay. The libraries were sequenced with 50 bp paired-end reads on a Next-Seq 500 Sequencer (Illumina) at the DanStem Genomics Platform (University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark).\\"). For all conditions, two biological replicate samples were collected from independent experiments. Library quality was assessed using the Fragment Analyzer and quantitated by Qubit assay. The libraries were sequenced with 50 bp paired-end reads on a NextSeq 500 Sequencer (Illumina) at the DanStem/reNEW Genomics Platform (University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark). Prediction of cis-regulatory elements (CREs) and gene annotation was done using rGREAT (v4.0.4) [PMID: 20436461],[PMID: 36040971] or HOMER (v.4.7)[PMID: 20513432]
Project description:Cellular binary fate decisions require the progeny to silence genes associated with the alternative fate. The major subsets of alpha:beta T cells have been extensively studied as a model system for fate decisions. While the transcription factor RUNX3 is required for the initiation of Cd4 silencing in CD8 T cell progenitors, it is not required to maintain the silencing of Cd4 and other helper T lineage genes. The other runt domain containing protein, RUNX1, silences Cd4 in an earlier T cell progenitor, but this silencing is reversed whereas the gene silencing after RUNX3 expression is not reverse. Therefore, we hypothesized that RUNX3 and not RUNX1 recruits other factors that maintains the silencing of helper T lineage genes in CD8 T cells. To this end, we performed a proteomics screen of RUNX1 and RUNX3 to determine candidate silencing factors.
Project description:A single hematopoietic stem cell can give rise to all blood cells with remarkable fidelity. Here, we define the chromatin accessibility and transcriptional landscape controlling this process in thirteen primary cell types that traverse the hematopoietic hierarchy. Exploiting the finding that enhancer landscapes better reflect cell identity than mRNA levels, we enable "enhancer cytometry" for accurate enumeration of pure cell types from complex populations. We further reveal the lineage ontogeny of genetic elements linked to diverse human diseases. In acute myeloid leukemia, chromatin accessibility reveals distinctive regulatory evolution in pre-leukemic HSCs (pHSCs), leukemia stem cells, and leukemic blasts. These leukemic cells demonstrate unique lineage infidelity, confirmed by single cell regulomes. We further show that pHSCs have a competitive advantage that is conferred by reduced chromatin accessibility at HOXA9 targets and is associated with adverse patient outcomes. Thus, regulome dynamics can provide diverse insights into human hematopoietic development and disease. Single-cell ATAC-seq of LMPPs, Monocytes, LSCs and Luekemic blast cells.

ATAC-seq profiles of hematopoietic and leukemic cell types, across 13 normal hematopoietic cell types and 3 acute myeloid leukemia cell types. The complete data set contains a total of 132 samples.
