Chromatin state dynamics in nine human cell types
elucidate regulators and disease-associated SNPs
Jason Ernst
Joint work with Pouya Kheradpour, Luke Ward
Brad Bernstein and Manolis Kellis
Goal: interpreting disease-associated
variants using epigenomics
CATGACTG
CATGCCTG
Epigenomics
Disease variants
• GWAS implicate hundreds of non-coding loci with disease
• Challenges towards interpreting disease variants:
– Find ‘true’ causative SNP among many in Linkage Disequilibrium
– Determine type of function: especially outside protein-coding
– Reveal relevant cell type of activity
– Link to upstream regulators and downstream target genes
 Epigenomics tools to address these challenges

in differentiation
and development
Two types:
DNA methyl.
Histone marks

• Dozens of chromatin tracks
• Understand their function
• Reveal their combinations
• Annotate systematically
• Common chromatin states

• Explicitly model combinations
• Unsupervised approach,
probabilistic model
From ‘chromatin marks’ to ‘chromatin states’

Validation rationale:
• Expression Quantitative Trait Loci (eQTLs)
provide independent SNP-to-gene links
• Do they agree with activity-based links?
Example: Lymphoblastoid (GM) cells study
• Expression/genotype across 60 individuals
(Montgomery et al, Nature 2010)
• 120 eQTLs are eligible for enhancer-gene
linking based on our datasets
• 51 actually linked (43%) using predictions
 4-fold enrichment (10% exp. by chance)
Sequence variant
at distal position
• Independent validation of links.
• Relevance to disease datasets.14

Activity signatures for each TF
• Enhancer networks: Regulator  enhancer  target gene
• Ex1: Oct4 predicted activator of embryonic stem (ES) cells
• Ex2: Gfi1 repressor of K562/GM cells
Causal motifs supported by dips & enhancer assays
Dip evidence of TF binding
(nucleosome displacement)
Enhancer activity halved
by single-motif disruption
 Motifs bound by TF, contribute to enhancers

• Disease-associated SNPs enriched for enhancers in relevant cell type
Ex1: Systemic lupus erythrematosus SNP: Ets-1 motif
• SNP in lymphoblastoid GM enhancer state
• Disrupts Ets1 motif instance, predicted GM regulator
 Model: Disease SNP abolishes GM enhancer
Ets-1 is a predicted activator of GM enhancers
Enhancer

Activity signatures for each TF
• Ets expression  Ets-1 motif enrichment in enhancers

• Disease SNP creates motif instance for Gfi-1 repressor
• Gfi-1 predicted repressor for K562-specific enhancers
 Creation of repressive motif abolishes K562 enhancer
Gfi-1 is a predicted repressor of non-K562 enhancers
Enhancer
activity
Activity signatures for each TF
• Gfi expression  Gfi-1 motif depletion in enhancers
• Prediction: Gfi-1 large-scale repression of non-K562

Chromatin state dynamics: Contributions summary
• Chromatin states capture mark combinations
– Reveal promoter/enhancer/insulator/transcribed regions
• Chromatin states capture chromatin dynamics
– Single annotation track for each cell type
– One 15-state track per cell type instead of 29 combinations
• Activity profiles capture correlated changes
– Gene expression vs. chromatin: EnhancerGene links
– Motifs vs. TF expr vs. chromatin: Activators/Repressors
• Regulatory predictions validated: eQTLs/dips/lucif.
– eQTLs: links. Dips: binding. Luciferase assays: motif role
• Interpret disease-associated variants
– Intergenic SNPs enriched for cell-type specific enhancers
– Mechanistic predictions reveal potential drug targets
