项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Structural variations (SVs), including inversions, deletions, duplications, and translocations, are prevalent in cancer and other diseases. It has been shown recently that SVs can disrupt the 3D genome structure and directly contribute to pathogenesis. For example, in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, deletion of a TAD boundary disrupted the insulated chromatin domains and activates proto-oncogenes. Two main consequences of SVs on 3D genome structures are the formations of “neo-TADs” and “enhancer-hijacking.” Neo-TADs refers to the scenarios when a SV event leads to the formation new chromatin domains, particularly in the cancer genomes, while enhancer-hijacking means when a SV event rearranges the cancer genome and juxtaposes an enhancer to the proximity of an oncogene. 3D genome organization has been shown to be essential in proper gene regulation and cell fate. Previous studies have shown that mammalian genomes are organized in megabase pair topologically associating domains (TADs). Genes located within the same TADs tend to be co-regulated and the functions of enhancers are usually restrained by TADs boundaries. Both genetic and epigenetic alteration of TADs boundaries can lead to gene misregulation and severe human diseases. To study the 3D genome organization, Hi-C is by far the most popular method, as it can measure chromatin interactions genome-wide. It facilitates the original discovery of TADs and many enhancer-promoter interactions. Recently, Hi-C has been applied to tens of cancer cell lines and a small number of patient samples. However, to our knowledge, no methods exist that can identify neo-TADs or enhancer-hijacking events using the Hi-C interaction data in cancer cells. Therefore, in this study, we propose the following aims: 1) Develop computational method to detect neo-TADs in cancer genome; 2) Develop computational method to detect chromatin interactions in cancer genomes; 3) Perform validation experiments for the hijacked enhancers by CRISPR/Cas9 and investigate their effect on target genes and cell phenotypes.

项目总结/摘要结构变异（SV），包括倒位、缺失、重复和易位，在癌症和其他疾病中普遍存在。最近的研究表明，SV可以破坏3D基因组，结构和直接有助于发病机制。例如，在T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病中，缺失细胞边界的断裂破坏了绝缘的染色质结构域并激活了原癌基因。两个主要 SV对3D基因组结构的影响是形成“新TADs”和“增强子劫持”。 Neo-TADs是指SV事件导致新染色质结构域形成的情况，特别是在癌症基因组中，增强子劫持意味着当SV事件重排癌症基因组时，将增强子与癌基因并列。 3D基因组组织已被证明是必要的适当的基因调控和细胞命运。先前的研究表明哺乳动物基因组在拓扑学上是以兆碱基对的形式组织的关联域（TADs）。位于相同TADs内的基因倾向于被共同调节，增强子通常受到TADs边界的限制。TADs的遗传和表观遗传改变边界可能导致基因失调和严重的人类疾病。为了研究3D基因组 Hi-C是迄今为止最流行的方法，因为它可以在全基因组范围内测量染色质相互作用。它促进了TADs和许多增强子-启动子相互作用的最初发现。近日，Hi-C在应用于数十种癌细胞系和少量患者样本。然而，据我们所知，存在可以使用Hi-C相互作用数据识别neo-TADs或增强子劫持事件的方法，癌细胞因此，在本研究中，我们提出以下目标：1）发展计算方法来检测癌症基因组中的neo-TADs; 2）开发检测癌症中染色质相互作用的计算方法 3）通过CRISPR/Cas9对被劫持的增强子进行验证实验，并研究它们对靶基因和细胞表型的影响。
