Inflammation-sensitive super enhancers form domains of coordinately regulated enhancer RNAs

Abstract: Enhancers are critical genomic elements that define cellular and functional identity through the spatial and temporal regulation of gene expression. Recent studies suggest that key genes regulating cell type-specific functions reside in enhancer-dense genomic regions (i.e., super enhancers, stretch enhancers). Here we report that enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) identified by global nuclear run-on sequencing are extensively transcribed within super enhancers and are dynamically regulated in response to cellular signaling… Show more

“…Consistent with the previous finding that Brd4 acts as both a coactivator and corepressor for gene expression (16), many genes were either up-regulated or down-regulated in Brd4-deficient BMDMs (Fig. 4 C and D).…”

“…Inhibition of BET family proteins by small molecules such as JQ1 and I-BET has been shown to down-regulate the expression of inflammatory genes selectively (16,19,20). To understand better the specific contribution of Brd4 in LPS-stimulated gene expression, we performed geneexpression microarray analysis using RNA isolated from WT and Brd4-deficient BMDMs stimulated or not stimulated by LPS.…”
