Abstract

Background: Mammalian cells are flexible and can rapidly change shape when they contract, adhere, or migrate. The nucleus must be stiff enough to withstand cytoskeletal forces, but flexible enough to remodel as the cell changes shape. This is particularly important for cells migrating through confined spaces, where the nuclear shape must change in order to fit through a constriction. This occurs many times in the life cycle of a neutrophil, which must protect its chromatin from damage and disruption associated with migration. Here we characterized the effects of constricted migration in neutrophil-like cells. Results: Total RNA sequencing identified that migration of neutrophil-like cells through 5- or 14-μm pores was associated with changes in the transcript levels of inflammation and chemotaxis-related genes when compared to unmigrated cells. Differentially expressed transcripts specific to migration with constriction were enriched for groups of genes associated with cytoskeletal remodeling. Hi-C was used to capture the genome organization in control and migrated cells. Limited switching was observed between the active (A) and inactive (B) compartments after migration. However, global depletion of short-range contacts was observed following migration with constriction compared to migration without constriction. Regions with disrupted contacts, TADs, and compartments were enriched for inactive chromatin. Conclusion: Short-range genome organization is preferentially altered in inactive chromatin, possibly protecting

Table S1. Significantly differentially expressed genes. All genes with significantly differential gene expression (FDR < 0.05) between either 5-μm pores compared to control, 14-μm pores compared to control, or 5-μm pores compared to 14-μm pores. Sets refer to those described on page 4 (Transcriptional changes after migration and remodeling are distinct). HUGO gene names, Ensembl gene names and IDs are provided as identifiers. Columns suffixed with ‘_5’ represent results from 5-μm pore compared to control. Columns suffixed with ‘_14’ represent results from 14-μm pore compared to control. Columns suffixed with ‘_5v14’ represent results from 5-μm pore compared to 14-μm pore. The ‘padj’ shows the FDR adjusted p value. (XLSX 258 kb)

Table S6. PC1 values and correlation between the interaction patterns of 100-kb bins. Each 100-kb bin has both a PC1 value indicating compartment status, and an interaction pattern with every other bin in the chromosome. When bins have a low correlation (R < 0.6) and an opposite PC1 value, this is considered a disruption to the compartment status of this region. Calculated using the runHiCpca.pl and getHiCcorrDiff.pl scripts in HOMER. Regions with missing values, and chromosomes with PC1 values indicating chromosome arm, are excluded from this table.
