Effects of Brca1 knock-down on Ezh2 targeting

ABSTRACT: The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is important for the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency and suppression of cell differentiation by promoting histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and silencing expression of genes regulating differentiation. Here we show decreased expression of BRCA1 promotes EZH2 re-targeting genome wide and enhances H3K27me3 levels at PRC2 target loci in mouse ES cells. R1 mouse ES cells were transfected with control siRNA and Brca1 specific siRNA. At 48h after transfection, cells were harvested and subjected to ChIP assay with Ezh2 antibody. Brca1 wild-type (AB2.2) and Brca1 deficient (PL2F8) mouse ES cells were harvested and subjected to ChIP assay with Ezh2 antibody. Fragmented DNA obtained from ChIP assay was repaired by DNA Terminator End Repair Kit (Lucigen Corporation, Middleton, WI) and purified by QIAquick PCR purification kit. Then two unidirectional linkers JW102 and JW103 were annealed and ligated to the blunt ends DNA at 16M-BM-0C overnight. The purified products were amplified to 2 M-NM-

Project description:Approximately 5% of all breast cancers can be attributed to an inherited mutation in one of two cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. We searched for genes that have the potential to distinguish healthy BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers from non-carriers based on differences in expression profiling. Using expression microarrays we compared gene expression of irradiated lymphocytes from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers versus control non-carriers. We identified 137 probe sets in BRCA1 carriers and 1345 in BRCA2 carriers with differential gene expression. Gene Ontology analysis revealed that most of these genes relate to regulation pathways of DNA repair processes, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis. Real-time PCR was performed on the 36 genes which were most prominently differentially expressed in the microarray assay; 21 genes were shown to be significantly differentially expressed in BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers as compared to controls (p<0.05). Based on a validation study with 40 mutation carriers and 17 non-carriers, a multiplex model that included six or more coincidental genes of 18 selected genes was constructed in order to predict the risk of carrying a mutation. The results using this model showed sensitivity 95% and specificity 88%. In summary, our study provides insight into the biological effect of heterozygous mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in response to ionizing irradiation induced DNA damage. We also suggest a set of 18 genes that can be used as a prediction and screening tool for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutational carriers by using easily obtained lymphocytes. Using expression microarrays we compared gene expression of irradiated lymphocytes from BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers versus control non-carriers Fresh blood samples were obtained from 9 BRCA1 and 8 BRCA2 mutation carriers and 9 mutation-negative women. Lymphocytes were collected from fresh blood samples, and RNA was extracted one hour after γ-irradiation
