| Summary |
Cancer risk by environmental exposure is modulated by an individual’s genetics and age at exposure. This age-specific period of susceptibility is referred to as a “Window of Susceptibility” (WOS). Radiation exposures poses a high breast cancer risk for women between the early childhood and young adult stage and is reduced in the mid-30s. Rats have a similar WOS for developing breast cancer. Previous studies have identified a looping interaction between a genomic region in the mammary carcinoma susceptibility Mcs5c locus and a known cancer gene, PAPPA. However, the global role of three-dimensional organization in the WOS is not known. Therefore, we generated Hi-C and RNA-seq data in rat mammary epithelial cells within and outside WOS. We compared the temporal changes in chromosomal looping to those in expression and find that interactions that have significantly higher counts within WOS are significantly enriched for genes upregulated in WOS. To systematically identify higher-order changes in 3D genome organization, we developed an approach that combines network enhancement to smooth the Hi-C matrices followed by multitask non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to identify clusters of interacting loci. We found that large-scale topological re-organizations are enriched for differential interactions within and outside the WOS timepoints. Finally, we mapped previously published breast-cancer associated human GWAS variants to rat loci and identified the corresponding rat ortholog gene interacting with the loci. Many of the associated rat genes participate in differential interactions, recapitulate the human SNP- gene interactions and are associated with breast cancer. Our results suggest that WOS-specific changes in 3D genome organization are linked to transcriptional changes that may increase susceptibility to breast cancer.
