    An erythroid enhancer of BCL11A subject to genetic variation determines fetal hemoglobin level (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-10-12
    Description: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have ascertained numerous trait-associated common genetic variants, frequently localized to regulatory DNA. We found that common genetic variation at BCL11A associated with fetal hemoglobin (HbF) level lies in noncoding sequences decorated by an erythroid enhancer chromatin signature. Fine-mapping uncovers a motif-disrupting common variant associated with reduced transcription factor (TF) binding, modestly diminished BCL11A expression, and elevated HbF. The surrounding sequences function in vivo as a developmental stage-specific, lineage-restricted enhancer. Genome engineering reveals the enhancer is required in erythroid but not B-lymphoid cells for BCL11A expression. These findings illustrate how GWASs may expose functional variants of modest impact within causal elements essential for appropriate gene expression. We propose the GWAS-marked BCL11A enhancer represents an attractive target for therapeutic genome engineering for the beta-hemoglobinopathies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4018826/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4018826/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bauer, Daniel E -- Kamran, Sophia C -- Lessard, Samuel -- Xu, Jian -- Fujiwara, Yuko -- Lin, Carrie -- Shao, Zhen -- Canver, Matthew C -- Smith, Elenoe C -- Pinello, Luca -- Sabo, Peter J -- Vierstra, Jeff -- Voit, Richard A -- Yuan, Guo-Cheng -- Porteus, Matthew H -- Stamatoyannopoulos, John A -- Lettre, Guillaume -- Orkin, Stuart H -- 123382/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- K08 DK093705/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- K08DK093705/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P01HL032262/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK049216/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30DK049216/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 HG005085/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL032259/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01HL032259/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG004594/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- U54HG007010/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 Oct 11;342(6155):253-7. doi: 10.1126/science.1242088.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Division of Hematology/Oncology, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, MA 02115, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24115442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Genome-scale identification of nucleosome positions in S. cerevisiae (2005)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-06-18
    Description: The positioning of nucleosomes along chromatin has been implicated in the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells, because packaging DNA into nucleosomes affects sequence accessibility. We developed a tiled microarray approach to identify at high resolution the translational positions of 2278 nucleosomes over 482 kilobases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DNA, including almost all of chromosome III and 223 additional regulatory regions. The majority of the nucleosomes identified were well-positioned. We found a stereotyped chromatin organization at Pol II promoters consisting of a nucleosome-free region approximately 200 base pairs upstream of the start codon flanked on both sides by positioned nucleosomes. The nucleosome-free sequences were evolutionarily conserved and were enriched in poly-deoxyadenosine or poly-deoxythymidine sequences. Most occupied transcription factor binding motifs were devoid of nucleosomes, strongly suggesting that nucleosome positioning is a global determinant of transcription factor access.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yuan, Guo-Cheng -- Liu, Yuen-Jong -- Dion, Michael F -- Slack, Michael D -- Wu, Lani F -- Altschuler, Steven J -- Rando, Oliver J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Jul 22;309(5734):626-30.

    Antibody-mediated inhibition of MICA and MICB shedding promotes NK cell-driven tumor immunity (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-03-30
    Description: MICA and MICB are expressed by many human cancers as a result of cellular stress, and can tag cells for elimination by cytotoxic lymphocytes through natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) receptor activation. However, tumors evade this immune recognition pathway through proteolytic shedding of MICA and MICB proteins. We rationally designed antibodies targeting the MICA α3 domain, the site of proteolytic shedding, and found that these antibodies prevented loss of cell surface MICA and MICB by human cancer cells. These antibodies inhibited tumor growth in multiple fully immunocompetent mouse models and reduced human melanoma metastases in a humanized mouse model. Antitumor immunity was mediated mainly by natural killer (NK) cells through activation of NKG2D and CD16 Fc receptors. This approach prevents the loss of important immunostimulatory ligands by human cancers and reactivates antitumor immunity.

    A major chromatin regulator determines resistance of tumor cells to T cell-mediated killing (2018)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    In: Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2018-02-16
    Description: Many human cancers are resistant to immunotherapy, for reasons that are poorly understood. We used a genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screen to identify mechanisms of tumor cell resistance to killing by cytotoxic T cells, the central effectors of antitumor immunity. Inactivation of 〉100 genes—including Pbrm1 , Arid2 , and Brd7 , which encode components of the PBAF form of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex—sensitized mouse B16F10 melanoma cells to killing by T cells. Loss of PBAF function increased tumor cell sensitivity to interferon-, resulting in enhanced secretion of chemokines that recruit effector T cells. Treatment-resistant tumors became responsive to immunotherapy when Pbrm1 was inactivated. In many human cancers, expression of PBRM1 and ARID2 inversely correlated with expression of T cell cytotoxicity genes, and Pbrm1 -deficient murine melanomas were more strongly infiltrated by cytotoxic T cells.
