Figure Lengend Snippet: a Hi-C heatmaps at 10 kb resolution show changed chromatin interactions at Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl5, Ccl6 , and Ccl9 gene loci in thymic T cells. CUT&Tag profiles show the SATB1 and CTCF signals in control and Satb1 cKO thymocyte cells. The Ccl -Enhancer was labeled in the gray box. b Diagram depicting the regions of subTAD and adjacent and boxplot showing the interaction frequencies of different regions indicated in ( a ). The adjacent region was set as an internal reference. Error bars indicate Mean ± SD. Statistical significance is measured via unpaired Student’s t-tests and is presented as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005. c The diagram depicted the 3C-qPCR experiment design and the 3C-qPCR experiment was used to validate the enhancer-promoter interaction of Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl5, Ccl6 , and Ccl9 genes in both control and Satb1 cKO naive CD4 + T cells. A negative control was also detected. Error bars indicate Mean ± SD. Statistical significance is measured via unpaired Student’s t-tests and is presented as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005. d dCas9 experiment was performed to validate the function of enhancer-promoter interaction in the regulation of gene expression for Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl5, Ccl6 , and Ccl9 . Error bars indicate Mean ± SD. Statistical significance is measured via unpaired Student’s t-tests and is presented as follows: * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.005.
