BRD4 Chromatin immunoprecipitation and Sequencing
We report BET bromodomain inhibitors (BETi) as regulators of keratinocyte stem cell fate. BETi displace BET proteins, including BRD4 from chromatin, inducing acute transcriptional changes at selected target genes. To gain insight into the compound mechanism of action, we assayed BRD4 chromatin occupancy genome-wide in keratinocytes subjected to BETi treatment. Specifically, BRD4 chromatin binding was analyzed following two treatments [125nM (low) versus 1250nM (high)] and three time points (30min, 6h and 6h treatment followed by compound removal for 3h (6m3h)). Overall design: Examination of genome-wide BRD4 binding sites
