Epigenomic Enhancer Profiling Defines a Signature of Colon Cancer

Abstract: Cancer is characterized by gene expression aberrations. Studies have largely focused on coding sequences and promoters, despite the fact that distal regulatory elements play a central role in controlling transcription patterns. Here we utilize the histone mark H3K4me1 to analyze gain and loss of enhancer activity genome wide in primary colon cancer lines relative to normal colon crypts. We identified thousands of variant enhancer loci (VELs) that comprise a signature that is robustly predictive of the in vivo … Show more

“…Using these criteria, we identified 17,497 putative promoters and 66,448 putative enhancers (Fig. 1A), numbers comparable with previous studies in other tumor types (43)(44)(45). The numbers of defined promoters and enhancers reached saturation after 4 and 16 samples, respectively, suggesting that a sample size of 20 (10 tumor/ normal pairs) is sufficiently powered to discover the majority of cis-regulatory elements in ccRCC (Supplementary Fig.…”

“…For example, trimethylation of Histone H3 at the Lysine 4 residue (H3K4me3) is a wellcharacterized histone mark that is enriched at gene transcriptional start sites (TSS) and is associated with transcriptionally active genes (16)(17)(18)(19). Levels of H3K4me3 are globally and locally altered during different developmental stages of cancer, and can serve as a predictor for disease recurrence (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). It was also recently determined that increased H3K4me3 and decreased H3K27me3 is important for activation of genes linked to proliferation and invasion of breast cancer such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), ERBB3, Six1, Cyclin A1, Pim-1, and CSPG4 (14).…”

“…Cependant, le moteur principal de l'expression génique est situé dans les régions non codantes du génome dont l'analyse était limitée avant l'avènement des techniques de séquençage à haut débit. Dans un article récemment publié dans la revue Science, B. Akhtar-Zaidi et al [1] ont, grâce à ces technologies émergentes, cartographié, à l'échelle du génome, la signature épigénomique des régions régulatrices distales, les enhancers, dans des lignées cellulaires isolées de tumeurs colorectales primaires. Cette signature, qui n'est pas retrouvée dans les cellules épithéliales normales du côlon, dirigerait ainsi un programme transcriptionnel unique, participant à la carcinogenèse colorectale.…”
