Summary |
BET bromodomain inhibition (BETi) abrogates cancer cell growth by disrupting oncogenic gene expression. BRD4 loading at enhancers has been suggested to mediate pause-release and underlie the selective transcriptional response to BETi. Here, we utilized GRO-seq coupled with ChIP-seq to assess the association between gene control elements and the transcriptional response to BETi. Genes immediately down-regulated by BETi display a marked pause-release defect with a minimal impact on transcript elongation within the gene body. Surprisingly, we find that BRD4 at super-enhancers does not render its associated genes or enhancer RNAs preferentially sensitive to BETi. In contrast, disproportionate loading of BRD4 at transcription start sites (TSS) correlates with the transcriptional response to BETi. Moreover, BRD4 loading at TSSs, but not enhancers, is associated with enhanced promoter-proximal pausing following BETi. Our findings stress a mechanistic role of promoter-associated BRD4 in pause-release and suggest that BRD4 loading at the TSS drives the selective transcriptional response to BETi.
