Nuclear condensation of CDYL links histone crotonylation and cystogenesis in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease [ChIP-Seq]

Background:molecular mechanisms coupling cellular metabolisms with the epigenome in cystic cells remains largely unknown Methods:To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the suppression of cyst growth by CDYL overexpression, we generated an engineered ADPKD cell line by stably expressing CDYL with TY1 tag in WT 9-12 human ADPKD cells (CDYL OE). We profiled genome-wide distribution of CDYL through chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with sequencing (ChIP-seq) analysis in both parental WT 9-12 cells (control) and CDYL OE cells. Genetic overexpression of CDYL reduces histone Kcr. We examined histone Kcr on CDYL-target genes by performing ChIP-seq analyses using antibody recognizing PanKcr and H3K18cr in control and CDYL OE cells. Results: Using integrative cistromic and transcriptomic analyses, CDYL-regulated cyst-associated genes are identified, whose downregulation depends on CDYL-mediated suppression of histone Kcr. Conclusions: Thus, through establishing a metabolic niche via nuclear condensation, CDYL connects metabolic changes to transcriptional response via histone Kcr in ADPKD. Overall design: ChIP sequencing with different antibodies: PanKcr, H3K18cr, and TY1 Tag in control and CDYL OE WT 9-12 cell lines.
