LNCap cell chromatin accessibility regulator of pioneer factor GATA2 binding model

Purpose: The dynamic chromatin accessibility was regulated by pioneer factors. The goals of this study are revealing the mechanism of GATA2 and SOX9 required for the change of nucleosome states. Methods: LNCaP cells between passage number 30-35 were used for assay. cell nucleus was extracted, digested by Tn5 transposase and ChIP was performed, the ChIP products were further used to generate library with illumina ChIP-seq kit. Hi-seq 3000 was used for sequencing and the data was analyzed by MACS2 for peaks. Results: GATA2 is associated with condensed nucleosome states and SOX9 is recruit for unwrapped the nucleosomes. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed nucleosome footprint of LNCap cells and mechanism underlining GATA2 and nucleosome reorganization in whole genomic DNA. LNCaP cells was used as cell model, ATAC-seq and ChIP-seq were applied for chromatin accessiblity, GATA2 and SOX9 binding compariing in vehicle and DHT conditions.
