Figure 7.

Functional antagonism between AP1, an early response complex, and Mi-2 β in keratinocytes. (A) Venn diagram depicting the overlap of c-JUN peaks identified in CTR NHKs (blue) or Mi2KD NHKs (red) and JUNB peaks identified in CTR NHKs (green). (B) Heatmap of K-means clustering analysis of ChIP-seq data for JUNB in CTR, c-JUN in Mi2KD, Mi-2β in CTR and HaCaT, and H3K27Ac from CTR NHKs and Mi2KD NHKs, centered on de novo c-JUN peaks detected after Mi2KD. (C) Occupancy (read count per million mapped reads) of TFs (JUNB, JUN, and Mi-2β) and H3K27Ac at de novo c-JUN peaks (±2 kb) as described in B is shown by histogram format. (D) Pathway analyses of up-regulated genes associated with cJUN enrichment peaks in Mi2KD NHKs. Select GO pathways and associated P values (−log10) are shown. (E) Heatmap of K-means clustering analysis for a subset of significantly induced genes after Mi2KD (|log2 fold change| ≥1, FDR <0.05), which revert to normal levels after concomitant knockdown of c-JUN (|log2 fold change| <0, P < 0.05). See also Fig. S5 D for all significantly induced genes in Mi2KD. Normalized expression is shown in CTR, Mi2KD, c-JUN knockdown (c-JUNKD), and Mi2KD and c-JUNKD (DKD) NHKs. Data from two experiments each with two or three replicates in each are shown. Expt, experiment. (F) Among the genes de-repressed in Mi2KD NHKs (days 3–5), the frequency of genes bound by Mi-2β in CTR NHKs (blue) and bound by de novo c-JUN peaks in Mi2KD NHKs (pink stripes) and genes bound by both Mi-2β in CTR NHKs and c-JUN in Mi2KD NHKs (pink) are depicted as bar graphs. (G) Statistical evaluation of genes induced by loss of Mi-2β, positively regulated by c-JUN and bound by c-JUN. Induced genes that were reverted by concomitant knockdown of c-JUN were significantly associated (P = 0.001) with c-JUN peaks compared with induced genes that were not reverted. Data from χ2 analysis (two-sided) are shown. DF, degrees of freedom. (H) Statistical evaluation of association of genes induced by loss of Mi-2β with c-JUN and Mi-2β binding. Induced genes that were bound by c-JUN were also significantly enriched for Mi-2β binding (P value 0.0001) compared with induced genes targets that were not bound by c-JUN. Data from χ2 analysis (two-sided) are shown. (I) Genome browser tracks of normalized ChIP-seq reads for TFs (JUNB, JUN, Mi-2β, and RNApII) and histone modifications (H3K27Ac and H3K4me3) generated from NHKs (CTR, black histogram), Mi2KD NHKs (red histogram) and HaCaT cells (black histogram) are shown at the COL7A1 locus. ChIP-seq for JUNB and JUN was performed on one set of CTR and Mi2KD primary NHKs. RNA-seq for CTR, Mi2KD, JUNKD, and DKD was performed twice with duplicates or triplicate samples in each experiment.
