BRD4 directs hematopoietic stem cell development and modulates macrophage inflammatory responses.

The EMBO journal | 2019

BRD4 is a BET family protein that binds acetylated histones and regulates transcription. BET/BRD4 inhibitors block blood cancer growth and inflammation and serve as a new therapeutic strategy. However, the biological role of BRD4 in normal hematopoiesis and inflammation is not fully understood. Analysis of Brd4 conditional knockout (KO) mice showed that BRD4 is required for hematopoietic stem cell expansion and progenitor development. Nevertheless, BRD4 played limited roles in macrophage development and inflammatory response to LPS ChIP-seq analysis showed that despite its limited importance, BRD4 broadly occupied the macrophage genome and participated in super-enhancer (SE) formation. Although BRD4 is critical for SE formation in cancer, BRD4 was not required for macrophage SEs, as KO macrophages created alternate, BRD4-less SEs that compensated BRD4 loss. This and additional mechanisms led to the retention of inflammatory responses in macrophages. Our results illustrate a context-dependent role of BRD4 and plasticity of epigenetic regulation.

RRID:SCR_001575

A web-based gene list enrichment analysis tool that provides various types of visualization summaries of collective functions of gene lists. It includes new gene-set libraries, an alternative approach to rank enriched terms, and various interactive visualization approaches to display enrichment results using the JavaScript library, Data Driven Documents (D3). The software can also be embedded into any tool that performs gene list analysis. System-wide profiling of genes and proteins in mammalian cells produce lists of differentially expressed genes / proteins that need to be further analyzed for their collective functions in order to extract new knowledge. Once unbiased lists of genes or proteins are generated from such experiments, these lists are used as input for computing enrichment with existing lists created from prior knowledge organized into gene-set libraries.
