Project description:Chromatin insulators partition the genome into the functional units to control gene expression especially in complex chromosomal regions. The CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) is an insulator-binding protein which functions for transcriptional regulation and higher-order chromatin formation. Here we report that a removable CTCF insulator is responsible for the retinoic acid (RA)-mediated higher-order chromatin remodeling and selective gene expression in the human HOXA gene locus. Our detailed chromatin analyses characterized multiple CTCF-enriched sites and RA-responsive enhancers in this locus. These regulatory elements and transcriptionally silent HOXA genes were closely positioned under the basal condition. Notably, upon the RA signaling, the transcription factor RAR/RXR induced the loss of an adjacent CTCF binding and changed the higher-order chromatin conformation of the overall locus, establishing transcriptionally active, poised and repressive domains that were separated by stably localizing CTCF insulators. This study uncovers that removable insulator spatiotemporally switches higher-order chromatin and multiple gene activities at the chromosomal domain levels, via the cooperation of CTCF and key transcription factors.

Project description:Differentiation is accompanied by extensive epigenomic reprogramming, leading to the repression of stemness factors and the transcriptional maintenance of activated lineage-specific genes. Here we used the mammalian Hoxa cluster of developmental genes as a model system to follow changes in DNA modification patterns during retinoic acid induced differentiation. We found the inactive cluster to be marked by defined patterns of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). Upon the induction of differentiation, the active anterior part of the cluster became increasingly enriched in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), following closely the colinear activation pattern of the gene array, which was paralleled by the reduction of 5mC. Depletion of the 5hmC generating dioxygenase Tet2 impaired the maintenance of Hoxa activity and partially restored 5mC levels. Our results indicate that gene specific 5mC-5hmC conversion by Tet2 is crucial for the maintenance of active chromatin states at lineage-specific loci. Genome wide DNA methylation profiling of uninduced and retinoic acid (RA) induced NTera2/D1 embryocarcinoma cells (NT2). Bisulphite converted DNA of uninduced, 7d RA and 14d RA treated NT2 cells were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 Beadchip.

Project description:Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2, encoded by the CRABP2 gene, is a protein that facilitates retinoic acid binding to its cognate receptor complex and transport to the nucleus. Our analysis indicates that CRABP2 expression is upregulated in thyroid cancer and is involved in the invasiveness of thyroid cancer. Loss- and gain-of-function approaches were used to elucidate its oncogenic mechanisms.

Project description:Chromatin insulators are DNA-protein complexes that can prevent the spread of repressive chromatin and block communication between enhancers and promoters to regulate gene expression. In Drosophila, the gypsy chromatin insulator complex consists of three core proteins: CP190, Su(Hw), and Mod(mdg4)67.2. These factors concentrate at nuclear foci termed insulator bodies, and their normal localization is correlated with proper insulator function. Here, we identified NURF301/E(bx), a nucleosome remodeling factor, as a novel regulator of gypsy insulator body localization through a high-throughput RNAi imaging screen. NURF301 promotes gypsy-dependent insulator barrier activity and physically interacts with gypsy insulator proteins. Using ChIP-seq, we found that NURF301 co-localizes with insulator proteins genome-wide, and NURF301 promotes chromatin association of Su(Hw) and CP190 at gypsy insulator binding sites. These effects correlate with NURF301-dependent nucleosome repositioning. At the same time, CP190 and Su(Hw) are also required for recruitment of NURF301 to chromatin. Finally, Oligopaint FISH combined with immunofluorescence revealed that NURF301 promotes 3D contact between insulator bodies and gypsy binding site DNA, and NURF301 is required for proper nuclear positioning of gypsy binding sites. Our data provide new insights into how a nucleosome remodeling factor and insulator proteins cooperatively contribute to nuclear organization.

Project description:Gene expression data from BE(2)-C cells treated in triplicate with either vehicle (DMSO), 5 M-NM-<M all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), 1 mM valproic acid (VPA), or 5 M-NM-<M ATRA + 1 mM VPA for 6, 24, or 72 hours. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix U133A microarrays. While cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the hallmark of cancer treatment, intensive regimens fall short in many malignancies, including high-risk neuroblastoma. One alternative strategy is to therapeutically promote tumor differentiation. We created a gene expression signature to measure neuroblast maturation, adapted it to a high-throughput platform, and screened a diversity oriented synthesis-generated small-molecule library for differentiation inducers. We identified BRD8430, containing a nine-membered lactam, an ortho-amino anilide functionality, and three chiral centers, as a selective Class I histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor (HDAC1 > 2 > 3). Further investigation demonstrated that selective HDAC1/HDAC2 inhibition using compounds or RNA interference induced differentiation and decreased viability in neuroblastoma cell lines. Combined treatment with 13-cis retinoic acid augmented these effects and enhanced activation of retinoic acid signaling. Therefore, by applying a chemical genomic screening approach we identified selective HDAC1/HDAC2 inhibition as a strategy to induce neuroblastoma differentiation. BE(2)-C cells were treated in triplicate with either vehicle (DMSO), 5 M-NM-<M all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), 1 mM valproic acid (VPA), or 5 M-NM-<M ATRA + 1 mM VPA for 6, 24, or 72 hours. Genome-wide expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix U133A microarrays [HT-HG_U133A Early Access].

Project description:The evolution of tetrapod limbs from fish fins enabled the conquest of land by vertebrates and thus represents a key step in evolution. Despite the use of comparative gene expression analyses, critical aspects of this transformation remain controversial, in particularly the origin of digits. Hoxa and Hoxd genes are essential for the specification of the different limb segments and their functional abrogation leads to large truncations of the appendages. Here we show that the selective transcription of mouse Hoxa genes in proximal and distal limbs is related to a bimodal higher order chromatin structure, similar to that reported for Hoxd genes, thus revealing a generic regulatory strategy implemented by both gene clusters during limb development. We found the same bimodal chromatin architecture in fish embryos, indicating that the regulatory strategy used to pattern tetrapod limbs predates the divergence between fish and tetrapods. However, when assessed in mice, both fish regulatory domains triggered transcription in proximal, rather than distal limb territories, supporting an evolutionary scenario whereby digits arose as true tetrapod novelties through genetic retrofitting of a preexisting bimodal chromatin framework. We discuss the possibility to consider regulatory circuitries, rather than expression patterns, as essential parameters to define evolutionary synapomorphies.
