Project description:To study the tissue-specific evolution of regulatory elements in the mammalian lineage, we created a comprehensive map of promoters and enhancers in 4 tissues of 10 mammalian species. To map in-vivo promoters and enhancers, we performed ChIP-seq experiments for H3K4me3, H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in adult liver, muscle, brain and testis of all 10 species. The species included in the study are: macaque, marmoset, mouse, rat, rabbit, pig, dog, cat, horse and opossum. To correlate regulatory evolution to expression, we also performed RNA-seq experiments in all tissues and species submitted separately to ArrayExpress.
Project description:Considered as fundamental epigenetic regulators controlling many key cellular processes, histone modifications are a well-conserved and widely studied class of epigenetic modifications. Genome-wide studies have identified enhancers as DNA sequences that bind to H3K4me1 and H3K27ac and promoters as DNA sequences that bind to H3K4me3. To explore how the Twist1 complex (Twist1/YY1/p300) regulates miR-9 expression, we performed ChIP-seq in PLC-PRF-5 cells, providing a panorama of p300, H3K4me3, H3K4me1, and H3K27ac.
Project description:OCI-AML3 Acute myeloid leukemia cell line was used for ChIP-sequencing profiling of H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K9ac and H3K27ac histone post-translational modifications to identify active promoter and enhancer regions.
Project description:Macrophages with innate immune memory are in a modified steady-status with altered responsiveness to stimulation featured by rewired epigenetic program. To better convey the concept of IGF-2-mediated innate immune memory and help understanding the anti-inflammatory responsiveness of macrophages, we analyzed histone modifications (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, and H3K27ac) by whole genome chip-sequencing analysis in control macrophages and IGF-2-preprogrammed macrophages. In the whole genome chip-sequencing analysis, we found that IGF-2 has limited effects on H3K4me1and H3K4me3, but mainly modulates H3K27ac status during macrophages maturation.

Project description:Here we used ChIP-MS to quantitatively profile chromatin-associated proteins that are specifically associated with H3K4me1- and H3K4me3-modified nucleosomes in IMR-90 chromatin.
Project description:The corneal epithelium is a stratified squamous epithelium that protects the eye from mechanical and toxic stress. In this system, cells are continually being sloughed off from the surface of the eye, and replenished by proliferation from corneal stem cells in the limbus, which migrate in and differentiate. During tissue development and homeostasis, distal regulatory regions called enhancers, which contain binding sites for numerous transcription factors, help to control and coordinate gene expression in a temporal and spatial specific manner. To identify enhancers in cornea epithelia, we performed ChIP-Seq with antibodies to the histone marks H3K4me3, H3K4me1, and H3K27ac in primary human corneal epithelial cells. Active enhancers were defined as having high levels of H3K4me1 and H3K27ac, and low levels of H3K4me3: 12,900 such regions were identified in the corneal epithelial cells. In combination with primary cell histone modification ChIP-Seq data from BROAD, 2946 active enhancer regions were identified that are unique to the corneal epithelial cells: 1551 of theses 2946 also overlie regions of high evolutionary constraint. Motif enrichment analysis of these regions has revealed binding sites for a number of transcription factors, highlighting their roles as key regulators of corneal epithelial development.
Project description:ChIP-seq to define bindings sites for TBX2, MYCN, H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K4me3 and Input in the cell lines IMR-32, CLB-GA, NGP, IMR-5/75, GI-M-EN, CHP-212, and IMR-5.
Project description:In the article "Fra-1 regulates its target genes via binding to remote enhancers without exerting major control on chromatin architecture in triple negative breast cancers" by Bejjani et al., we mapped epigenetic marks (H3K4me1, H3K4me3, H3K27ac), p300/CBP, PolII and CTCF to characterize the binding sites of Fra-1 and Fra-2 on MDA-MB-231 genome. Data for Fra-1 and Fra-2 ChIP-seq are available on GEO database, accession number GSE132098 (Tolza et al., 2019, MCR 17, 1999-2014)
