ATAC-seq of resting and anti-CD3/CD28-stimuated Jurkat cells
The majority of genetic risk variants associated with autoimmune diseases are located in chromatin regions that are accessible during T cell stimulation. To systematically investigate the dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility during T cell activation, we utilized the Jurkat cell line as a model and performed ATAC-seq on both resting and anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated Jurkat cells. Overall design: We performed ATAC-seq on both resting and anti-CD3/CD28-stimulated Jurkat cells.Anti-CD28 and anti-CD3 antibodies were utilized to activate T cells as previously described (Simeonov et al. Nature, 2017). Briefly, the culture plate was coated with 10 µg/ml of anti-CD28 (TONBO Biosciences, 40-0289) for 12 hours at 4°C prior to cell inoculation. Jurkat or CD4+ T cells were then seeded with 10 µg/ml of anti-CD3 (40-0038). The cells were harvested 24 hours later for subsequent experimental analysis. The ATAC-seq library was prepared with the TruePrep DNA Library Prep Kit V2 for Illumina (Vazyme, TD501) and the TruePrep Index Kit V2 for Illumina (Vazyme, TD202), following the kit's instructions.
