Title Functional enhancers at the gene-poor 8q24 cancer-linked locus
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by genome tiling array
Genome binding/occupancy profiling by genome tiling array
Summary Multiple discrete regions at 8q24 were recently shown to contain alleles that predispose to many cancers including prostate, breast, and colon. These regions are far from any annotated gene and their biological activities have been unknown. Here we profiled a 5-megabase chromatin segment encompassing all the risk regions for RNA expression, histone modifications, and locations occupied by RNA polymerase II and androgen receptor (AR). This led to the identification of several transcriptional enhancers, which were verified using reporter assays. Two enhancers in one risk region were occupied by AR and responded to androgen treatment; one contained a single nucleotide polymorphism (rs11986220) that resides within a FoxA1 binding site, with the prostate cancer risk allele facilitating both stronger FoxA1 binding and stronger androgen responsiveness. The study reported here exemplifies an approach that may be applied to any risk-associated allele in non-protein coding regions as it emerges from genome-wide association studies to better understand the genetic predisposition of complex diseases.
 
Overall design 20 Normal Prostate cDNA samples (no replicates), 4 cell line cDNA samples (each cell line in duplicate), 4 cell line Acetylated H3 ChIP (each line in duplicate), 2 cell line various histone modification and protein ChIPs (6 Abs LNCaP, 5 Abs PC3, each in duplicate). All samples were hybridized with matching genomic DNA as reference.
