Compensation for the exclusion of BRD4 from chromatin via BET inhibition occurs through acute redistribution of p300 to critical AML maintenance genes. (A) Correlation of nuclear RNA-Seq (nucRNA-Seq) with BRD4 binding dynamics in DMSO vs BETi-treated KASUMI-1 cells. Shown are signals that matched to both BRD4 and nucRNA-Seq peaks. Signals were annotated to the nearest promoters. (B) Correlation of SLAM-Seq with BRD4 binding dynamics in DMSO vs BETi-treated SKNO1 cells. BRD4 peaks were annotated to the nearest promoters and matched to the corresponding 3’UTR regions from SLAM-Seq. (C) Examples of BRD4 binding and nucRNA-Seq profiles in DMSO and BETi-treated KASUMI-1 cells to demonstrate the rescue of messenger RNA production at/near promoters of the main RUNX1 isoforms and CDK6 upon BETi but not at/near the BLACE or GPR85 promoters. (D) Analysis of qPCR expression of the indicated transcripts/genes in KASUMI-1 and SKNO1 cells after treatment with either DMSO or BETi (24 hours). Shown are log2 fold changes (FCs) normalized to DMSO-treated controls and standard deviation (SD) from 3 biological replicates. (E) SLAM-Seq intensity at the 933 rescued genes at 0 hour (DMSO), 4 hours, and 24 hours after BET inhibition. Shown are log2 FC ratios compared with 0 hour (DMSO-treated controls). Three biological replicates were acquired per condition/time point. (F) SLAM-Seq intensity at the indicated exemplar rescued genes at 0 hour (DMSO), 4 hours, and 24 hours after BET inhibition. Shown are log2 FC ratios compared with 0 hours (DMSO-treated controls). Three biological replicates were acquired per condition/time point. (G) Average binding curve profiles for BRD4, p300, RUNX1, FLI1, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, and H3K27ac in DMSO and BETi-treated KASUMI-1 cells, to demonstrate the BETi-triggered increase of p300 and RUNX1 binding at/near the rescued genes. (H) Average binding curve profiles for BRD4 and p300 in DMSO and BETi-treated SKNO1 cells, to demonstrate the BETi-triggered increase of p300 binding at/near the rescued genes. Chr, chromosome.
