A Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Assay to Identify Novel NFAT2 Target Genes in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is characterized by the expansion of malignant B cell clones and represents the most common leukemia in western countries. The majority of CLL patients show an indolent course of the disease as well as an anergic phenotype of their leukemia cells, referring to a B cell receptor unresponsive to external stimulation. We have recently shown that the transcription factor NFAT2 is a crucial regulator of anergy in CLL. A major challenge in the analysis of the role of a transcription factor in different diseases is the identification of its specific target genes. This is of&#160;great significance for the elucidation of pathogenetic mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a classic technique to demonstrate protein-DNA interactions and can, therefore, be used to identify direct target genes of transcription factors in mammalian cells. Here, ChIP was used to identify LCK as a direct target gene of NFAT2 in human CLL cells. DNA and associated proteins are crosslinked using formaldehyde and subsequently sheared by sonication into DNA fragments of approximately 200-500 base pairs (bp). Cross-linked DNA fragments associated with NFAT2 are then selectively immunoprecipitated from cell debris using an &#945;NFAT2 antibody. After purification, associated DNA fragments are detected via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). DNA sequences with evident enrichment represent regions of the genome which are targeted by NFAT2 in vivo. Appropriate shearing of the DNA and the selection of the required antibody are particularly crucial for the successful application of this method. This protocol is ideal for the demonstration of direct interactions of NFAT2 with target genes. Its major limitation is the difficulty to employ ChIP in large-scale assays analyzing the target genes of multiple transcription factors in intact organisms.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in the western world. NFAT transcription factors are important regulators of development and activation in numerous cell types. Here, we present a protocol for the use of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) in human CLL cells to identify novel target genes of NFAT2.

High-Resolution Mapping of Protein-DNA Interactions in Mouse Stem Cell-Derived Neurons using Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-Exonuclease (ChIP-Exo)

Identification of specific protein-DNA interactions on the genome is important for understanding gene regulation. Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to identify genome-wide binding locations of DNA-binding proteins. However, the ChIP-seq method is limited by its heterogeneity in length of sonicated DNA fragments and non-specific background DNA, resulting in low mapping resolution and uncertainty in DNA-binding sites. To overcome these limitations, the combination of ChIP with exonuclease digestion (ChIP-exo) utilizes 5&#8217; to 3&#8217; exonuclease digestion to trim the heterogeneously sized immunoprecipitated DNA to the protein-DNA crosslinking site. Exonuclease treatment also eliminates non-specific background DNA. The library-prepared and exonuclease-digested DNA can be sent for high-throughput sequencing. The ChIP-exo method allows for near base-pair mapping resolution with greater detection sensitivity and reduced background signal. An optimized ChIP-exo protocol for mammalian cells and next-generation sequencing is described below.

Identifying Transcription Factor Olig2 Genomic Binding Sites in Acutely Purified PDGFR&#945;+ Cells by Low-cell Chromatin Immunoprecipitation Sequencing Analysis

In mammalian cells, gene transcription is regulated in a cell type specific manner by the interactions of transcriptional factors with genomic DNA. Lineage-specific transcription factors are considered to play essential roles in cell specification and differentiation during development. ChIP coupled with high-throughput DNA sequencing (ChIP-seq) is widely used to analyze genome-wide binding sites of transcription factors (or its associated complex) to genomic DNA. However, a large number of cells are required for one standard ChIP reaction, which makes it difficult to study the limited number of isolated primary cells or rare cell populations. In order to understand the regulatory mechanism of oligodendrocyte lineage-specific transcription factor Olig2 in acutely purified mouse OPCs, a detailed method using ChIP-seq to identify the genome-wide binding sites of Olig2 (or Olig2 complex) is shown. First, the protocol explains how to purify the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFR&#945;) positive OPCs from mouse brains. Next, Olig2 antibody mediated ChIP and library construction are performed. The last part describes the bioinformatic software and procedures used for Olig2 ChIP-seq analysis. In summary, this paper reports a method to analyze the genome-wide bindings of transcriptional factor Olig2 in acutely purified brain OPCs.

Here we present a protocol which is designed to analyze the genome-wide binding of the oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (Olig2) in acutely purified brain oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) by performing low-cell chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP), library preparation, high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatic data analysis.
