Title Chromatin accessibility and gene expression during adipocyte differentiation identify context-dependent effects at cardiometabolic GWAS loci [RNA-seq]
Organism Homo sapiens
Experiment type Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary Chromatin accessibility and gene expression in relevant cell contexts can guide identification of regulatory elements and mechanisms at genome-wide association study (GWAS) loci. To identify regulatory elements that display differential activity across adipocyte differentiation, we performed ATAC-seq and RNA-seq in a cell model of preadipocytes and adipocytes at days 4 and 14 of differentiation. For comparison, we created a consensus map of ATAC-seq peaks in 11 subcutaneous adipose tissue samples. A set of 15,919 adipocyte-dependent peaks showed stronger enrichment (60.1%) of adipocyte nuclei enhancers than 51,855 adipose tissue peaks (44.6%) or 18,244 preadipocyte-dependent peaks (11.5%). We linked context-dependent peaks to genes based on adipocyte promoter capture Hi-C data, overlap with adipose eQTL variants, and differential gene expression. Of 16,167 context-dependent peaks that could be linked to a gene, 5,184 were linked by two or more strategies to 1,675 genes. Among GWAS loci for cardiometabolic traits, adipocyte peaks showed the strongest enrichment for waist-to-hip ratio, coronary artery disease, and HDL-cholesterol, while adipose tissue peaks also showed significant enrichment for LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels. We identified 666 peaks linked to 507 genes by two or more methods and overlapping a GWAS signal, suggesting a regulatory mechanism at these loci. At one GWAS locus for palmitoleic acid, rs603424 was located in an adipocyte-dependent peak linked to SCD and exhibited allelic differences in transcriptional activity in adipocytes (P=0.003) but not preadipocytes (P=0.09). These results demonstrate that context-dependent peaks and genes can guide discovery of regulatory variants at GWAS loci and aid identification of regulatory mechanisms.
