We identify sites of combinatorial control by performing high throughput ChIP experiments on p300, CREB-binding protein (CBP), the deacetylase SIRT1 and on multiple DNA-binding transcription factors in three different tissues. We present a quantitative model of transcriptional regulation that reveals the contribution of each binding site to tissue-specific gene expression in several mouse cell types. Binding to both evolutionarily conserved and non-conserved sequences is found to contribute significantly to transcriptional regulation. We demonstrate that binding location strongly predicts the expression level of nearby genes.

View SamplesReceptor tyrosine kinase signaling is critical for mammalian craniofacial development, but the key downstream transcriptional effectors remain unknown. We demonstrate that SRF is induced by both PDGF and FGF signaling in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchyme cells, and Srf neural crest conditional mutants exhibit facial clefting accompanied by proliferation and migration defects. Srf and Pdgfra mutants interact genetically in craniofacial development, but Srf and Fgfr1 mutants do not. This signal specificity is recapitulated at the level of cofactor activation: while both PDGF and FGF target gene promoters show enriched genome-wide overlap with SRF ChIP-seq peaks, PDGF selectively activates a network of MRTF-dependent cytoskeletal genes. Collectively, our results identify a novel role for SRF in proliferation and migration during craniofacial development and delineate a mechanism of receptor tyrosine kinase specificity mediated through differential cofactor usage, leading to a unique PDGF-responsive SRF-driven transcriptional program in the midface. Overall design: Serum Starved MEPMs (4 replicates), 1 hr PDGF treated MEPMs (4 replicates), 1 hr FGF treated MEPMs (3 replicates)

View SamplesPolycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) play key roles in developmental epigenetic regulation. Yet the mechanisms that target PRCs to specific loci in mammalian cells remain incompletely understood. In this study, we show that Bmi1, a core component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), binds directly to the Runx1/CBFbeta transcription factor complex. Genome-wide studies in megakaryocytic cells demonstrate considerable chromatin occupancy overlap between the PRC1 core component Ring1b and Runx1/CBFbeta and functional regulation of a significant fraction of commonly bound genes. Bmi1/Ring1b and Runx1/CBFbeta deficiency generate partial phenocopies of one another in vivo. We also show that Ring1b occupies key Runx1 binding sites in primary murine thymocytes and that this occurs via Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) independent mechanisms. Genetic depletion of Runx1 results in reduced Ring1b binding at these sites in vivo. These findings provide evidence for site-specific PRC1 chromatin recruitment by core binding transcription factors in mammalian cells.

View SamplesLoss of function of the tumor suppressor BRCA1 (Breast Cancer 1) protein is responsible for numerous familial and sporadic breast cancers. We previously identified PABP1 as a novel BRCA1 partner and showed that BRCA1 modulates translation through its interaction with PABP1. We showed that the global translation was diminished in BRCA1-depleted cells and increased in BRCA1-overexpressing cells. Our findings raised the question whether BRCA1 affects translation of all cytoplasmic cellular mRNAs or whether it specifically targets a subset of mRNAs.

View SamplesThe cellular response to replication stress requires the DNA-damage responsive kinase ATM and its co-factor ATMIN, however the roles of this signaling pathway following replication stress are unclear. RNA-seq and subsequent differential expression analyses were utilized to identify the functions of ATM and ATMIN in response to replication stress induced by Aphidcolin (APH). Overall design: Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) deleted for ATM or ATMIN were treated with 1µM APH or DMSO as a control. Two different wild-type MEF cell lines (wtATM, wtATMIN) served as controls. RNA-seq was performed in duplicates, in a total of 32 samples, with an average of 31.1M aligned readsobtained per group,with 15.5M reads obtained per replicate.

View SamplesIn an attempt to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the multiple roles of L1 in endothelium, we checked whether manipulating its expression affected the transcriptome of lECs. To this purpose, we compared the gene expression profiles of L1-overexpressing and control lECs by Affymetrix, which revealed a remarkable effect of L1 overexpression on lECs transcriptome.
Endothelial deficiency of L1 reduces tumor angiogenesis and promotes vessel normalization.

View SamplesThis experiment compares the transciptional changes in antigen specific murine CD8 T cells (P14 T cells) after exposure in vivo to dendritic cells (DC) pulsed with low dose cognate peptide (1uM KAVYNFATC), high dose cognate peptide (100uM KAVYNFATC) or no antigen. Splenic dendritic cells were freshly isolated, peptide pulsed, washed and then adoptively transferred s.c. to the right footpad of C57BL/6 hosts. After 18h, freshly isolated P14 CD8 T cells were labelled with CMFDA and adoptively transferred iv. Two hours after T cell transfer, anti-L selectin antibody was given iv. At 12 and 24 hours, recipients were sacrificed and The right popliteal LN was harvested at 12 or 24h post T cell transfer and a single cell suspension was created and stained with PE CD4, B220 and CD19 (dump channel). Cells were then sorted on a FacsARIA for being non-doublets, CMFDA positive and dump channel negative.
