‘Reverse engineering’ of transcriptional networks
Infers regulatory mechanisms from gene expression data Assumption:
co-expression → transcriptional co-regulation → common cis-regulatory promoter elements
Step 1: Identification of co-expressed genes using microarray technology (clustering algs)
Step 2: Computational identification of cis-regulatory elements that are over-represented in promoters of the co-expressed genes
Such methodologies were first demonstrated in yeast
![Page 4: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Reverse-engineering of the Yeast Cell-Cycle
Expression profiles were recorded in synchronized yeast cells in 10 min intervals over 2 cell cycles.
~ 500 ORFs showed a periodic expression pattern

Reverse-engineering of the Human Cell-Cycle
Whitfield et al. recorded expression profiles during the progression of human cell cycle.
874 genes showed periodic expression patterns, and were partitioned into five clusters (G1/S, S, G2, G2/M and M/G1).
We applied promoter analysis to these 5 clusters

Human Cell Cycle Revisited We detected global enrichments that pointed to
major TFs in human cell cycle regulation.
However, we did not report on specific target genes due to high rate of false positive hits.
Comparative Genomics greatly boosts the specificity of in-silico detection of regulatory elements.
It now allows us to pinpoint TF targets with high confidence.

Mature miRNA (~ 22 bp) tend to: Start with a “U” base Bind their target mRNAs at sites of length 8 bp. Target site is complementary to positions 1-8 of
the mature miRNA. Assumed to play major regulatory function
during development (many show tissue-specific expression pattern)
![Page 30: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Transfected two miRNAs into Hela human cells and examined changes in mRNA expression profiles: miR-1: expressed in skeletal muscle miR-124: expressed in brain
96 and 174 genes were significantly down-regulated by miR-1 and miR-124, respectively
Comparison with human tissue expression atlas: Genes down-regulated by miR-1 are expressed at lower levels
in skeletal muscle and heart than in other tissues Genes down-regulated by miR-124 are expressed at lower
levels in the brain than in other tissues Searching for enriched signals in the 3’-UTRs of the
down-regulated genes discovered the cognate binding sites
![Page 31: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Comparative analysis of promoter and 3’-UTR regulatory motifs using the human, mouse, rat and dog genomes.
Search for highly conserved motifs (degenerate strings, 6-18 bases) Motif Conservation Score (MCS): Z score of the
proportion of the conserved occurrences of a motif relative to the conservation rate of comparable random motifs.
PromotersPromoters (-2 kb to + 2kb relative TSS): 174 highly conserved motifs (MCS > 6):
69 – known (out of 123 TRANSFAC motifs, 56%) 105 potentially novel regulatory elements
![Page 33: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Demonstrating biological function for the discovered motifs: Correlate the occurrence of a motif with
tissue-specific gene expression (using data from the human tissue expression atlas)
Target sets of 86% (59 out of 69) of the known motifs showed significant tissue-specific expression
53 out of the 105 (50%) novel motifs
Examine positional bias of the motif hits
![Page 34: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
3’ UTR3’ UTR signals: 106 highly conserved motifs (MCS > 6) Hypothesis: function as binding sites for miRNAs Many of the discovered motifs show features of
miRNA binding sites: Strong strand bias of the conservation rate
consistent with a role in post-transcriptional regulation, acting at the RNA rather than DNA level
Biased length distribution: strong peak at 8 bp High rate of “A” in position #8 Search for matches of the 8-mer motifs to the known human
miRs: in 95% of the cases the matches begins at position 1 or 2 of the
mature miRNAs.

V. Integrative Analysis
![Page 36: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Systems-level analysis of the DNA damage response in yeast by an integrated approach that combines:
1. Genome-wide profiling of TF-promoter binding (ChIP-chip data)
2. Expression profiling (in deleted and w.t. strains)
3. Phenotyping sensitivity to DNA damage in deleted strains
4. Wide scale protein-protein interaction data
![Page 37: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
1. Systematic screen for TFs involved in the DNA damage response:
30 (out of 141) TFs based on either: Expression: differentially expressed after DNA
damage Binding: bind promoters of genes induced by
DNA damage Sensitivity: TF-mutant strain is hyper-sensitive to
DNA-damaging agent
2. TF-promoter binding profiling (Chip-chip) for each of these 30 TFs, without and after exposure to DNA damaging agent
![Page 38: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
3. Validation of functional roles of the measured TF-promoter binding interactions:
Gene expression profiling in w.t. and deleted strains (27 out of the 30 are non-essential) without and after exposure to DNA damaging agent
“Deletion Buffering”: genes that respond to the damage in w.t. but become unresponsive in a specific TF-deleted strain
Only 11% (37 out of 341) of the observed deletion-buffering events could be explained by direct TF-promoter interaction
The rest are probably mediated by longer, indirect, regulatory pathways linking the deleted TF and the buffered gene
![Page 39: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
4. Physical pathways that explain indirect deletion-buffering events were searched for using Bayesian modeling procedure
Utilized various data sources: TF-promoter binding data measured in this study Tf-promoter binding data measured for all yeast
TFs (in nominal conditions) 14K high-throughput protein-protein interactions
(in nominal conditions)
The inferred network explains a total of 82 deletion-buffering events.

Some patient are responsive and other are resistant to certain chemotherapy modalities (although suffering from the same cancer)
Probably due to different deregulated oncogenic pathways underlying the cancer
Goal: Personalized/targeted therapies
![Page 55: Overview: Functional Genomics Dissections of Transcriptional Networks](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568143e2550346895db06a50/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Various oncogenes (e.g., Ras, Myc, E2F) were expressed in otherwise quiescent cells
Expression signatures characteristic of each oncogenic pathway were identified
Tested on various mouse cancer models: the oncogenic-pathway signatures successfully predicted the deregulated pathways
Prediction of oncogene-pathway deregulation leads to prediction of cancer sensitivity to therapeutic agents

Ionizing radiation (IR) is the most common cancer treatment
IR causes cell death mainly via the induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs)
The ATM protein is the master regulator of the cellular responses to DSBs.
We examined expression profiles in response to IR in w.t. and Atm-/- mice (lymph node).

• In lymphoid cells pro- and anti-apoptotic pathways are activated in parallel in an Atm- dependent manner
•The pro-apoptotic arm is mediated by p53
•The pro-survival arm is mediated by NF-κB
