Project description:We describe an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), based on direct in vitro transposition of sequencing adaptors into native chromatin, as a rapid and sensitive method for integrative epigenomic analysis. ATAC-seq captures open chromatin sites using a simple two-step protocol with 500–50,000 cells and reveals the interplay between genomic locations of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins, individual nucleosomes and chromatin compaction at nucleotide resolution. We discovered classes of DNA-binding factors that strictly avoided, could tolerate or tended to overlap with the nucleosome. Using ATAC-seq maps of human CD4+ T cells from a proband obtained on consecutive days, we demonstrated the feasibility of analyzing an individual’s epigenome on a timescale compatible with clinical decision-making. We examined chromatin structure using ATAC-seq in 2 cell types (GM12878 cell line, purified CD4+ T cells).

Project description:To understand the early consequences of cytokine stimulation, we performed chromatin accessibility assay (ATAC-seq) on primary human CD34+ fetal and cord blood cells exposed or not to IL3 and SCF for 5 days in vitro.
Project description:<p>In this study we profile the epigenomic enhancer landscapes of CLL B cells (CD19+/CD5+) harvested from peripheral blood of patients from our Center. Included are results of ChIPseq profiling using chromatin immunoprecipitation of the enhancer histone mark H3K27ac (acetylated lysine 27 on histone H3), and open chromatin profiles using ATAC-seq (assay for transposase accessible chromatin). These profiles are used to define the global enhancer and super enhancer landscape of CLL B cells, and to derive active transcription factor networks associated with this disease. Also included are H3K27ac ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq datasets for non-CLL B cells obtained from the peripheral blood of normal adult donors.</p>
Project description:<p>The efficacy of the adaptive immune response declines dramatically with age, but the cell-intrinsic mechanisms driving the changes characteristic of immune aging in humans remain poorly understood. One hallmark of immune aging is the loss of self-renewing naive cells and the accumulation of differentiated but dysfunctional cells within the CD8 T cell compartment. Using ATAC-seq, we first inferred the transcription factor binding activities that maintain the naive and central and effector memory CD8 T cell states in young adults. Integrating our results with RNA-seq, we determined that BATF, ETS1, Eomes, and Sp1 govern transcription networks associated with specific CD8 T cell subset properties, including activation and proliferative potential. Extending our analysis to aged humans, we found that the differences between memory and naive CD8 T cells were largely preserved across age, but that naive and central memory cells from older individuals exhibited a shift toward a more differentiated pattern of chromatin openness. Additionally, aged naive cells displayed a loss in chromatin openness at gene promoters, a phenomenon that appears to be due largely to a loss in binding by NRF1, leading to a marked drop-off in the ability of the naive cell to initiate transcription of mitochondrial genes. Our findings identify BATF- and NRF1-driven gene regulation as targets for delaying CD8 T cell aging and restoring T cell function.</p>
