Anti-cancer drugs curaxins target the 3D genome organization [ChIP-seq]

We have recently discovered a class of anti-cancer agents, curaxins, which suppress transcription of oncogenes. Here we demonstrate that curaxins preferentially downregulate expression of genes controlled by enhancers and super-enhancers via interrupting enhancer/promoter spatial communication. Our observations made both on a model of enhancer-regulated transcription of chromatinized template and on cultured cancer cells allow classifying curaxins as a novel type of epigenetic drugs that target the 3D genome organization. Overall design: Processed and raw ChIP-seq data for control and CBL0137-treated HT1080 cells. Please note that [1] each bigwig processed data file was generated from both ChIP and input sample data, and is linked to the corresponding ChIP sample records [2] the bed files were generated from all 8 sample data.
