Project description:Twist1 variants including wildtype Twist1, a non-phosphorylatable mutant Twist1/S42A and a phospho-mimicking mutant Twist1/S42D were expressed in 4T1 cells in which the endogenous Twist1 was depleted. We wanted to use microarray analysis to evaluate those genes that are differentially regulated by Twist1 variants.

Project description:The present study was designed to identify Mkl1 target genes whose expression requires either the B1 site of Mkl1 and serum response factor (SRF), respectively, or the SAP domain of Mkl1. For this purpose, we obtained the transcriptomes of four stable 4T1 cell lines that either overexpress full length Mkl1-RFP (4T1-FL), Mkl1-RFP with a mutated SRF-interaction site (4T1-mutB1), Mkl1-RFP with a deletion of the SAP domain (4T1-ÎSAP) or an empty vector encoding RFP alone (4T1 control). Stable 4T1 cell lines were grown in triplicates in 0.03% FCS/DMEM medium for 48 h before total RNA was extracted. RNA was converted into labeled cDNA and hybridized to Affymetrix GeneChip Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays. RMA normalized expression values were calculated with the affy package from the Bioconductor 2.4 release (1) and differentially expressed genes were identified using moderated t-statistics calculated with the empirical Bayes method as implemented in the Bioconductor limma package (2). To be considered as differentially expressed between 4T1-FL and 4T1-mutB1 or 4T1-âSAP cells, genes had to pass the filters: adjusted P-value ⤠0.01 (with Benjamin-Hochberg false discovery correction), a minimum absolute linear fold change difference of 2.0 and a minimum average expression value of 4.0 (log2).

Project description:Endocrine therapy is the main therapeutic option for patients with estrogen receptor alpha positive (ER+) breast cancer. Nevertheless, most of them become estrogen-independent and relapse after the treatment. Ret is a tyrosine kinase receptor that shows elevated expression levels in ER+ human breast tumors. In this study, we demonstrate that activation of the Ret receptor promotes proliferation as well as cell migration irrespective of endocrine therapy. Microarray data show that Ret activation involves changes in the expression of inflammatory- and motility-related genes. In vivo treatment with a Ret pathway inhibitor in a ER+/Ret+ mouse mammary cancer model, reduces tumor growth and lung metastasis even after endocrine therapy. Additionally, we show a connection between Ret and inflammatory pathways. The pro-inflamatory cytokine IL6 lies at the core of this regulation, which involves a positive feedback loop with IL6 and the Ret pathway reciprocally stimulating each other to further leading metastasis risk. Our findings provide insight into endocrine resistance mechanism and point at the Ret pathway as a potential target for future therapies. In order to model letrozole-sensitive breast cancer we use aromatase expressing MCF7 cells (MCF7/Aro). Six-day treatment (6 days) of cultures with letrozole (L) or fulvestrant (F) reversed the proliferative effects of the exposure to the estrogen (E2) precursor androstenedione (D4A). The addition of only EtOH (E) to the cells was used as control condition of deprivation. Treatment with the Ret ligand GDNF (G) partially rescues the inhibition of estrogen-dependent proliferation in these cells. To go deeper insight into the pathways involved, we decided to perform a microarray following different treatments (1-8: E, E+G, D, D+G, L, L+G, F, F+G) used in proliferation assays. Three biological replicates (rep 1-3) were used to the array.

Project description:In the present study, we investigated the importance of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) for glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mediated effects on glucose metabolism, and its potential as a therapeutic target for the prevention of glucocorticoid (GC)-induced diabetes. Dexamethasone (dex)-induced hepatic glucose output and GR translocation were analysed in wildtype (wt) and HDAC6-deficient (HDAC6ko) mice. The effect of the specific HDAC6-inhibitor tubacin was analysed in-vitro. Wt and HDAC6ko mice were subjected to 3 weeks dex treatment before analysis of glucose and insulin tolerance. HDAC6ko mice showed impaired dex-induced hepatic GR translocation. Accordingly, dex induced expression of a large number of hepatic genes was significantly attenuated in mice lacking HDAC6 and by tubacin in-vitro. Glucose output of primary hepatocytes from HDAC6ko mice was diminished. A significant improvement of dex-induced whole-body glucose intolerance as well as insulin resistance in HDAC6ko mice compared to wt littermates was observed. The present study demonstrates that HDAC6 is an essential regulator of hepatic GC stimulated gluconeogenesis and impairment of whole body glucose metabolism through modification of GR nuclear translocation. Selective pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 may provide a future therapeutic option against the pro-diabetogenic actions of GCs. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from isolated RNA of dissected mouse livers using wildtype and HDAC6 deficient animals which were treated over a timespan of 3 weeks with 1mg/kg dexamethasone and vehicle respectively. These data are used to show the hdac6-deficiency mediated attenuation of several dexamethasone induced genes. 12 samples in total were analyzed. 3 samples of different animals of each group (wt vehicle, wt dexamethasone, hdac6ko vehicle and hdac6ko dexamethasone)

Project description:Dicer proteins function in RNA interference (RNAi) pathways by generating small RNAs (sRNAs). Here we report the solution structure of the C-terminal domain of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Dicer (Dcr1). The structure reveals an unusual double-stranded RNA binding domain (dsRBD) fold embedding a novel zinc-binding motif that is conserved among dicers in yeast. Although the C-terminal domain of Dcr1 still binds nucleic acids, this property is dispensable for proper functioning of Dcr1. In contrast, disruption of zinc coordination renders Dcr1 mainly cytoplasmic and leads to remarkable changes in gene expression and loss of heterochromatin assembly. In summary, our results reveal novel insights into the mechanism of nuclear retention of Dcr1 and raise the possibility that this new class of dsRBDs might generally function in nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking and not substrate binding. The C-terminal domain of Dcr1 constitutes a novel regulatory module that might represent a potential target for therapeutic intervention with fungal diseases. 12 chips representing 4 different strains. Every condition is represented by three biological replicates

Project description:In mammals, totipotent pre-implantation embryos are formed by fusion of highly differentiated oocytes and spermatozoa. Acquisition of totipotency concurs with remodeling of chromatin states of parental genomes (âepigenetic reprogrammingâ), changes in maternally contributed transcriptome and proteome, and zygotic genome activation. Genomes of mature germ cells are more proficient in supporting embryonic development than those of somatic cells. It is currently unknown whether transgenerational inheritance of chromatin states present in mature gametes underlies the efficacy of early embryonic development after natural conception. Here, we show that Ring1 and Rnf2, two core components of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1), serve redundant gene regulatory functions during oogenesis that are required to support embryonic development beyond the two-cell stage. Numerous developmental regulatory genes that are established Polycomb targets in various somatic cell types are de-repressed in Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant (dm) fully grown germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes. Translation of tested aberrant maternal transcripts is, however, delayed until after fertilization. Exchange of maternal pro-nuclei between control and Ring1/Rnf2 maternally dm early zygotes demonstrates an essential role for Ring1 and Rnf2 during oogenesis in defining cytoplasmic and nuclear maternal contributions that are both essential for proper initiation of embryonic development. A large number of genes up-regulated in Ring1/Rnf2 dm GV oocytes harbor PRC2-mediated histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in spermatozoa and in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and are repressed during normal oogenesis and early embryogenesis. These data strongly support the model that Polycomb acts in the female and male germline to silence differentiation inducing genes and to program chromatin states, thereby sustaining developmental potential across generations. Expression profiling of late 2-cell embryos was performed with the following genotypes: maternal Ring1-Rnf+ (control), maternal Ring1-Rnf2- (maternal Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant). These embryos were obtained by crossing Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F control females or Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F Zp3-cre expreimental females, respectively, to Ring1+/+Rnf2F/F control males. To distinguish between maternal transcripts present in the 2-cell embryo and newly (embryonicaly) transcribed transcripts, embryos from both genotypes were either not treated (expression profiling therefore shows all maternal and embryonic transcripts) or alpha-amanitin treated (alpha-amanitin inhibits de novo transcription, therefore expression profiling of treated embryos will only show maternal transcripts). 11 samples were analyzed: 3 biological replicates (except alpha-amanitin treated maternal Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant, where only 2 replicates were analyzed) of each genotype and treatment group were analyzed. Each sample contains 40 late 2-cell embryos.
