Project description:This is one of expressional parts of the study. These data were correlated to epigenetic changes and CG density of genes in analyzed cells. The whole study has a following summary: To elucidate possible roles of DNA methylation and chromatin marks in transcription, we performed epigenetic profiling of chromosome 19 in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and in the colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 as well as its counterpart with double knockout of DNMT1 and DNMT3B (HCT116-DKO). We found that H3K9me3 forms intragenic chromatin blocks along genes with low CpG density in the gene body. Analysis of H3K36me3 profiles indicated that this mark associates either with active genes with low CpG density and H3K9me3 in the gene body or with active genes with high CpG density and DNA hypermethylation in the gene body. In HCT116 cells with double knockout of DNMT1 and DNMT3B, transcription of genes with low CpG density in the gene body was highly elevated and associated with promoter DNA demethylation and rearrangement of H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 occupation. Our finding suggests that similar to DNA methylation, H3K9me3 may play a role in intragenic gene regulation. Further, we observed that a combination of low CpG density in gene bodies together with H3K9me3 and H3K36me3 marking is a specific epigenetic feature of zinc finger (ZNF) genes, which comprise 90% of all genes carrying both histone marks on chromosome 19. For high CpG density genes, transcription and H3K36me3 occupancy were not changed in condition of partial or intensive loss of DNA methylation in gene bodies in the HCT116-DKO cell line. siRNA experiments with SETD2 knockdown in both HBEC and HCT116-DKO cell lines failed to reduce DNA methylation in gene bodies under conditions of H3K36me3 depletion. Our study suggests that the H3K36me3 and DNA methylation marks in gene bodies are established independently from each other and points to similar functional roles of intragenic DNA methylation and intragenic H3K9me3 for CpG-rich and CpG-poor genes, respectively. To elucidate how a loss of DNA methylation affects a gene expression and epigenome we studied colon cancer cell line HCT116 and its derivative, HCT116 DNMT1-/- DNMT3b -/- (HCT116-DKO). According to previous studies HCT116-DKO is characterized by 95% of loss of DNA methylation. In HCT116 and HCT116-DKO cells, we profiled diverse epigenetic marks and gene expression. Further a crosstalk between epigenetic changes and transcriptional changes was analyzed. This is the expressional part of study.

Project description:Mice with homozygous null mutations in the HDL receptor (SR-BI) and apoE genes (SR-BI KO/apoE double KO (dKO) mice) spontaneously develop occlusive, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and die prematurely (50% mortality at 42 days of age) on standard chow diet feeding. Microarray analysis was performed to investigate the changes in gene expression profiles during the development of spontaneous severe CAD, which includes myocardial infarction and heart failure. These data will provide new insights in understanding the pathophysiology of CAD. The whole Hearts from dKO or SR-BI+/- apoE-/- (HET) mice (n=9-12) were harvested at 21, 31 and 43 days of age, and analyzed using Affymetrix microarrays. dKO mice do not show detectable signs of CAD at 21 days of age, small myocardial infarction (MI) and heart failure at 31 days of age, and extensive MI and severe heart failure at 43 days of age (50% mortality at 42 days of age). Each mouse was assigned to one array. SR-BI+/- apoE-/- mice (HET) which do not develop detectable signs of CAD on chow diet were used as controls.The data also include those from probucol treated dKO and HET mice (n=2-8).

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: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:Gene expression data from CD22+B220+ FACS-purified splenocytes of adult wild-type, Sca1-Bcl6(floxed) and Sca1-Bcl6(Δ) knock-in CBAxC57BL/6J mice. The Bcl6 floxed vector was generated by inserting the mouse Bcl6–IRES-eGFP cassette flanked by loxP sites into the ClaI site of the pLy6 vector. The transgene fragment was excised from its vector by restriction digestion with NotI, purified and injected into CBAxC57BL/6J fertilized eggs. Two independent transgenic lines were generated and analyzed. Sca1-Bcl6(floxed) mice were bred to mb1-Cre mice to generate Sca1-Bcl6(Δ) mice. Splenic B220+CD22+ cells were FACS purified from wild-type, Sca1-Bcl6(floxed) and Sca1-Bcl6(Δ) mice and arrayed using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays.

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 (M-bM-^@M-^\epigenetic reprogrammingM-bM-^@M-^]), 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 fully grown mouse GV oocytes was performed with the following genotypes: Ring1+/+Rnf2F/F (control), Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F (Ring1 mutant), Ring1+/+Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Rnf2 mutant) and Ring1-/-Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant). 12 samples were analyzed: 3 biological replicates of each of the 4 genotypes (Ring1+/+Rnf2F/F (control), Ring1-/-Rnf2F/F (Ring1 mutant), Ring1+/+Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Rnf2 mutant) and Ring1-/-Rnf2F/FZp3-cre (Ring1/Rnf2 double mutant)). Each sample contains 50 GV oocytes.

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.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most malignant and most common tumor of the central nervous system characterized by rapid growth and extensive tissue infiltration. GBM results in more years of life lost than any other cancer type. Notch signaling has been implicated in GBM pathogenesis through several modes of action. Inhibition of Notch leads to a reduction of cancer-initiating cells in gliomas and reduces proliferation and migration. Deltex1 (DTX1) is part of an alternative Notch signaling pathway distinct from the canonical MAML1/RBPJκ-mediated cascade. In this study, we show that DTX1 activates both the RTK/PI3K/PKB as well as the MAPK/ERK pathway. Moreover, we found the anti-apoptotic factor Mcl-1 to be induced by DTX1. In accordance with this, the clonogenic potential and proliferation rates of glioma cell lines correlated with DTX1 levels. DTX1 knock down mitigated the tumorigenic potential in vivo, and overexpression of DTX1 increased cell migration and invasion of tumor cells accompanied by an elevation of the pro-migratory factors PKBβ and Snail1. Microarray gene expression analysis identified a DTX1-specific transcriptional program - including microRNA-21 - which is distinct from the canonical Notch signaling. We propose the alternative Notch pathway via DTX1 as oncogenic factor in malignant glioma and found low DTX1 expression levels to correlate with prolonged survival of GBM and early breast cancer patients in open source databases. We generated human glioma U373 cell lines stably expressing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (EGFP), human Deltex1-Myc Tag (DTX1-myc), or Master Mind Like 1 - dominant negative (MAML1-dn) to compare differences in overall gene expression. We included 3x EGFP control samples, 3x DTX1-myc, and 3 MAML1-dn samples.

Project description:Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is a prototypical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) found in combustion processes. Cytochrome P450 1A1 and 1B1 enzymes (CYP1A1, CYP1B1) and other enzymes can activate PAHs to reactive oxygenated intermediates involved in mutagenesis and tumor initiation; also, CYP1 enzymes can detoxify PAHs. Cyp1(+/+) wild-type (WT) and Cyp1b1(-/-) knockout mice receiving oral BaP (12.5 mg/kg/day) remain healthy for >12 months. In contrast, we found that global knockout of the Cyp1a1 gene (1a1KO) results in proximal small intestine (PSI) adenocarcinoma within 8 to 12 weeks on this BaP regimen; striking compensatory increases in PSI CYP1B1 likely participate in initiation of adenocarcinoma in 1a1KO mice. Cyp1a1/1b1(-/-) double-knockout (DKO) mice on this BaP regimen show no PSI adenocarcinoma, but instead preputial gland duct (PGD) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) occurs by 12 weeks. Herein we compare microarray expression of PGD genes in WT, 1a1KO and DKO mice at zero, 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks of oral BaP; about four dozen genes up- or down-regulated during the most critical time-points were further verified by qRT-PCR. In DKO mice, CYP3A59 was unequivocally identified as the BaP-inducible and BaP-metabolizing best candidate responsible for initiation of BaP-induced SCC. Striking increases or decreases were found in 26 cancer-related genes plus eight Serpin genes in DKO, but not in 1a1KO or WT, mice on this BaP regimen; of the 26, eight were RAS-related oncogenes. The mechanism by which cancer-related genes are responsible for SCC tumor progression in the PGD remains to be elucidated. The tissue being tested is preputial gland duct of mice. Three genotypes (WT, Cyp1a1 KO and Cyp1a1/1b1 DKO) were compared with one another, at zero, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of oral BaP. The five time-points within each genotype were also compared.
