Cooperation of PU.1 With IRF8 and NFATc1 Defines Chromatin Landscapes During RANKL-Induced Osteoclastogenesis.

Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research | 2019

Receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) induces osteoclast (OC) differentiation from bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). The transcription factors nuclear factor of activated T cells 1 (NFATc1) and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) 8 play positive and negative roles, respectively, in this process. However, genomewide mapping of the active cis-regulatory elements regulating OC differentiation has not been performed, and little is known about the global landscape of OC-specific gene regulation. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation and formaldehyde-assisted isolation of regulatory elements followed by sequencing to show that PU.1 transcription factor binding motifs were overrepresented at active cis-regulatory regions in both murine BMMs and OCs, while IRF and NFAT binding motifs were selectively enriched at these regions in BMMs and OCs, respectively. We also found that RANKL induced the downregulation of Irf8 and upregulation of Nfatc1 expression, which was associated with dramatic alterations in histone modification. BMM-specific PU.1 binding sites were observed to overlap with IRF8 binding sites in BMMs, and this also occurred for OC-specific PU.1 binding sites and NFATc1 binding sites in OCs. The expression of genes with IRF8 peaks within BMM-specific PU.1 binding sites was significantly higher in BMMs than in OCs, while that of genes with NFATc1 peaks within OC-specific PU.1 binding sites was significantly higher in OCs than in BMMs. Our results suggest that PU.1 switches its transcription partner from IRF8 to NFATc1 and alters the binding regions during RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis, which is associated with changes in epigenetic profiles and the control of cell type-specific gene expression. © 2019 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.

GREAT: Genomic Regions Enrichment of Annotations Tool (software resource)

RRID:SCR_005807

Data analysis service that predicts functions of cis-regulatory regions identified by localized measurements of DNA binding events across an entire genome. Whereas previous methods took into account only binding proximal to genes, GREAT is able to properly incorporate distal binding sites and control for false positives using a binomial test over the input genomic regions. GREAT incorporates annotations from 20 ontologies and is available as a web application. The utility of GREAT extends to data generated for transcription-associated factors, open chromatin, localized epigenomic markers and similar functional data sets, and comparative genomics sets.

Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (pathway analysis tool)

RRID:SCR_008653

A web-based software application that enables users to analyze, integrate, and understand data derived from gene expression, microRNA, and SNP microarrays, metabolomics, proteomics, and RNA-Seq experiments, and small-scale experiments that generate gene and chemical lists. Users can search for targeted information on genes, proteins, chemicals, and drugs, and build interactive models of experimental systems. IPA allows exploration of molecular, chemical, gene, protein and miRNA interactions, creation of custom molecular pathways, and the ability to view and modify metabolic, signaling, and toxicological canonical pathways. In addition to the networks and pathways that can be created, IPA can provide multiple layering of additional information, such as drugs, disease genes, expression data, cellular functions and processes, or a researchers own genes or chemicals of interest.
