Analysis of SOD1 binding sites by next generation sequencing under different redox environments
We report the application of ChIP-Seq technology for analyzing the DNA binding sites of SOD1 in the nucleus of HeLa cells. By obtaining a plenty of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide DNA binding sites of SOD1. After sequencing of ChIP samples, 42,737,195, 49,950,032, and 38,825,768 clean reads for control group, H2O2 treated group and LD100 (a specific inhibitor of SOD1) treated group were obtained through trimming the raw reads. We find that SOD1 occupies DNA sites with distinct sequence preference in the nucleus. The treatment with either H2O2 or LD100 was found to decrease the strength of SOD1 binding to DNA, indicating that the H2O2 exposure- or SOD1 inhibition-mediated redox dyshomeostasis may result in decreased genes that are reasonably regulated through alteration of SOD1 structures compared to control.
