Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) has a extremely narrow host cell tropism and robustly infects only very few cell lines, most importantly the human hepatoma cell line Huh7. This cell line was isolated from a 57-year old Japanese male with fulminant hepatitis. Different subclones and passages of the Huh7 cell line show up to 1000-fold differences in HCV replication efficiency (permissiveness). In this experiment, we sought to identify factors responsible for these differences by correlating gene expression from eight different uninfected Huh7 variants with their respective HCV permissiveness. HCV replication efficiency was determined using electroporation of a subgenomic luciferase reporter replicon (genotype 1b, "con1/ET") and measuring luciferase activity at 48h post transfection normalized to the input value at 4h p.t.. "Relative permissiveness" of cell lines corresponds to their replication efficiency, normalized to the efficiency in the lowest permissive cells (Huh7 p13 and p28).
Replication vesicles are load- and choke-points in the hepatitis C virus lifecycle.

Overall design: mRNA profiles of 89 human pancreatic islet donors having different levels of blood glucose (HbA1c) with and without T2D. The data was generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

View SamplesCell differentiation requires epigenetic modulation of tissue-specific genes and activities of master transcriptional regulators, which are recognized for their dominant control over cellular programs. Using novel epigenomic methods, we characterized enhancer elements specifically modified in differentiating intestinal epithelial cells and found enrichment of transcription factor-binding motifs corresponding to CDX2, a master regulator of the intestine. Directed investigation revealed surprising lability in CDX2 occupancy of the genome, with redistribution from hundreds of sites occupied only in progenitors to thousands of new sites in mature cells. Knockout mice confirmed distinct Cdx2 requirements in dividing and differentiated adult intestinal cells, including responsibility for the active enhancer configuration associated with maturity. Dynamic CDX2 occupancy corresponds with condition-specific gene expression and, importantly, to differential co-occupancy with other tissue-restricted transcription factors: HNF4A in mature cells and GATA6 in progenitors. These results reveal dynamic, context-specific functions and mechanisms of a master transcription factor within a cell lineage.
Differentiation-specific histone modifications reveal dynamic chromatin interactions and partners for the intestinal transcription factor CDX2.

View SamplesSurprisingly few pathways signal between cells, raising questions about mechanisms for tissue-specific responses. In particular, Wnt ligands signal in many mammalian tissues, including the intestinal epithelium, where constitutive signaling causes cancer. Genome-wide analysis of DNA cis-regulatory regions bound by the intestine-restricted transcription factor CDX2 in colonic cells uncovered highly significant over-representation of sequences that bind TCF4, a transcriptional effector of intestinal Wnt signaling. Chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed TCF4 occupancy at most such sites and co-occupancy of CDX2 and TCF4 across short distances. A region spanning the single nucleotide polymorphism rs6983267, which lies within a MYC enhancer and confers colorectal cancer risk in humans, represented one of many co-occupied sites. Co-occupancy correlated with intestine-specific gene expression and CDX2 loss reduced TCF4 binding.These results implicate CDX2 in directing TCF4 binding in intestinal cells. Co-occupancy of regulatory regions by signal-effector and tissue-restricted transcription factors may represent a general mechanism for ubiquitous signaling pathways to achieve tissue-specific outcomes.
TCF4 and CDX2, major transcription factors for intestinal function, converge on the same cis-regulatory regions.
