项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Environmental toxicants can induce changes in the epigenomic status of exposed cells, resulting in altered gene expression, which can consequently lead to human diseases such as cancer. The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, is expected to play a key role in this process upon exposure to these toxicants. However, how these epigenomic changes are brought about in response to environmental toxicant exposure is far from being understood. One major toxicant is the prototypical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) which is found in air pollution generated by incomplete combustion of organic materials. To understand important upstream events for implementing epigenomic status in response to environmental toxicants, we will study the effect of B[a]P on higher-order chromatin structure (such as chromatin looping formed via inter- or intra-chromosomal interactions). Epigenomic status and subsequent gene expression profiles of individual genes are governed at the level of higher-order chromatin structure. We will address the role of the genome organizer protein SATB1 in the process of conformational changes of chromatin induced by B[a]P. SATB1 can establish higher-order chromatin folding, affect the epigenomic status at hundreds of its target genes, and reprogram gene expression genome-wide in response to external signaling. Thus, we propose the hypothesis that SATB1 is a critical driver in executing the effects of environmental toxicants in affected cells at the level of higher-order chromatin structure. If so, the gene regulatory role of the ligand-activated AhR after B[a]P exposure would be greatly altered under the influence of SATB1. We will determine the effect of gene expression patterns in response to B[a]P exposure using our breast epithelial MCF10A tumor progression series, containing SATB1- expressing and non-expressing cells. We will determine genomic binding sites of AhR (and its associating partner, ARNT) and SATB1 by chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by deep sequencing to find if any SATB1 and AhR-ARNT complex binding sites merge upon B[a]P exposure, and we will examine the biological consequences of B[a]P exposure of the cells expressing varying levels of SATB1. We aim to assess whether B[a]P exposure promotes malignancy to a degree dependent on the SATB1 levels in the exposed cells. The potential role of a genome organizer in controlling ligand-activated AhR after exposure to environmental toxicants has never been addressed to date, and testing this hypothesis will likely provide a valuable new perspective for the field of environmental health science.

描述（由申请人提供）：环境毒物可诱导暴露细胞的表观基因组状态发生变化，导致基因表达改变，从而导致人类疾病，如癌症。芳烃受体（AhR）是一种配体激活的转录因子，在暴露后的这一过程中发挥关键作用对这些有毒物质。然而，这些表观基因组的变化是如何引起环境毒物暴露的还远未被理解。一种主要的毒物是原型多环芳烃（PAH）苯并[a]芘（B[a]P），其在有机材料的不完全燃烧产生的空气污染中发现。为了了解重要的上游事件实施表观基因组状态响应环境毒物，我们将研究B[a]P对高阶染色质结构的影响（如通过染色体间或染色体内相互作用形成的染色质环）。单个基因的表观基因组状态和随后的基因表达谱在高阶染色质结构水平上受到控制。我们将讨论基因组组织蛋白SATB 1在B[a] P诱导的染色质构象变化过程中的作用。SATB 1可以建立高阶染色质折叠，影响数百个靶基因的表观基因组状态，并响应外部信号在全基因组范围内重新编程基因表达。因此，我们提出假设，SATB 1是在高阶染色质结构水平上执行受影响细胞中环境毒物影响的关键驱动因素。如果是这样的话，在SATB 1的影响下，B[a]P暴露后配体激活的AhR将发生显著改变。我们将使用我们的乳腺上皮MCF 10A肿瘤进展系列（包含SATB 1表达和非表达细胞）来确定基因表达模式对B[a]P暴露的响应效果。我们将通过染色质免疫沉淀法确定AhR（及其相关伴侣ARNT）和SATB 1的基因组结合位点，然后进行深度测序，以发现B[a]P暴露后是否有任何SATB 1和AhR-ARNT复合物结合位点合并，我们将检查表达不同水平SATB 1的细胞暴露于B[a]P的生物学后果。我们的目的是评估是否B[a]P暴露促进恶性肿瘤的程度依赖于暴露的细胞中的SATB 1水平。迄今为止，基因组组织者在暴露于环境毒物后控制配体激活的AhR中的潜在作用从未得到解决，并且测试这一假设可能为环境健康科学领域提供有价值的新视角。
