ABSTRACT
We identified and characterized multiple cell-type selective enhancers of the CFTR gene promoter in previous work and demonstrated active looping of these elements to the promoter. Here we address the impact of genomic spacing on these enhancerpromoter interactions and on CFTR gene expression. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we generated clonal cell lines with deletions between the -35 kb airway enhancer and the CFTR promoter in the 16HBE14o- airway cell line, or between the intron 1 (185 + 10 kb) intestinal enhancer and the promoter in the Caco2 intestinal cell line. The effect of these deletions on CFTR transcript abundance, as well as the 3D looping structure of the locus was investigated in triplicate clones of each modification. Our results indicate that both small and larger deletions upstream of the promoter can perturb CFTR expression and -35 kb enhancerpromoter interactions in the airway cells, though the larger deletions are more impactful. In contrast, the small intronic deletions have no effect on CFTR expression and intron 1 enhancerpromoter interactions in the intestinal cells, whereas larger deletions do. Clonal variation following a specific CFTR modification is a confounding factor particularly in 16HBE14o- cells.
