CTCF controls three-dimensional enhancer network underlying the inflammatory response of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells

Abstract

The role of 3D genome organization is not well understood in the transcriptional regulation of dendritic cells. Here the authors show that activation of dendritic cells in vitro induces dynamic reprogramming of the chromatin looping and enhancer activity linked to changes in gene expression and implicates a role for the chromatin architecture protein CTCF in the inflammatory response of dendritic cells.
