Project description:We report ChIP-Seq data for MED12 in human CD34+ cells.

Project description:Lineage regulators direct BMP and Wnt pathways to cell-specific programs during differentiation and regeneration. This represents the human CD34 ChIP-seq portion of this dataset. Human hematopoietic cells were cross-linked with formaldehyde for 20 min. DNA was enriched by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and analyzed by Solexa sequencing. A sample of whole cell extract (WCE) was sequenced and used as the background to determine enrichment. ChIP was performed using an antibody against total Smad1 (Santa Cruz SC-7965), Tcf7l2 (Santa Cruz SC-8631),Gata1 (Santa Cruz SC-265), Gata2 (Santa Cruz SC-9008) or CEBPA (SC-9314).

Chromatin state dynamics during blood formation - Science, 345, 6199) Examination of histone modification in mouse HSPCs with and without Med12

Project description:Analysis of gene expression levels in hematopoietic progenitor cells retrovirally transduced with full-length WT1(+/-) or a WT1-mutant lacking zinc-finger, WT1(delZ) cultured in vitro for 14 days. The hypothesis tested in this study was that the WT1-mutant confers an increased proliferation rate after 14 days in culture and an erythroid phenotype. Results provide information of upregulation of some genes associated with cellcycle progression, upregulated genes connected with erythropoiesis and downmodulation of some genes associated with myeloid differentiation. Total RNA obtained from CD34+ progenitor cells in suspension cultures for 14 days.

Results provide insight into the gene signatures regulated by Med12 that are essential for the homeostasis of the hematopoietic system. Microarrays we used to characterize the gene expression programs regulated by Med12 and identified down-regulated signatures
Project description:The molecular mechanisms underlying erythroid-specific gene regulation remain incompletely understood. Closely spaced binding sites for GATA, NF-E2/maf and CACCC interacting transcription factors play functionally important roles in globin and other erythroid-specific gene expression. We and others recently identified the CACCC-binding transcription factor ZBP-89 as a novel GATA-1 and NF-E2/mafK interacting partner. Here, we examined the role of ZBP-89 in human globin gene regulation and erythroid maturation using a primary CD34+ cell ex vivo differentiation system. We show that ZBP-89 protein levels rise dramatically during human erythroid differentiation, and that ZBP-89 occupies key cis-regulatory elements within the globin and other erythroid gene loci. ZBP-89 binding correlates strongly with RNA Pol II occupancy, active histone marks, and high-level gene expression. ZBP-89 physically associates with the histone acetyltransferases (HATs) p300 and Gcn5/Trrap, and occupies common sites with Gcn5 within the human globin loci. Lentiviral shRNA knockdown of ZBP-89 results in reduced Gcn5 occupancy, decreased acetylated histone 3 levels, lower globin and erythroid-specific gene expression, and impaired erythroid maturation. Addition of the HDAC inhibitor valproic acid partially reverses the reduced globin gene expression. These findings reveal an activating role for ZBP-89 in human globin gene regulation and erythroid differentiation. Keywords: Human primary erythroid progenitors Expression data of human erythroid progenitors transduced with lentivirus expressing short hairpins against ZBP-89 and control empty vector

Project description:HOXB4 mediates expansion of adult and embryo-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) when expressed ectopically. To define the underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed gene expression profiling in combination with subsequent functional analysis using enriched adult HSCs expressing inducible HOXB4. A substantial number of the identified HOXB4 target genes are involved in signaling pathways important for controlling self-renewal, maintenance and differentiation of stem cells. Functional assays performed on selected pathways confirmed the biological coherence of the array results. HOXB4 activity protected adult HSCs from the detrimental effects mediated by the proinflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha. Furthermore, we demonstrate that HOXB4 activity and FGF-signaling are intertwined. HOXB4-mediated expansion of adult HSCs was enhanced by specific and complete inhibition of FGF-receptors. Based on our results we propose that HOXB4 governs pivotal cell-intrinsic pathways involved in the regulation of cell cycle, differentiation and apoptosis. Our results strongly suggest that HOXB4 modulates the response of HSCs to multiple extrinsic signals in a concerted manner, thereby shifting the balance towards stem cell self-renewal. Experiment Overall Design: To understand the mechanisms of HOXB4 activity, we wished to identify target genes of HOXB4 in adult hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSC/HPCs). We thus transduced murine HSC/HPCs with a retroviral vector that co-expresses EGFP and a tamoxifen-inducible form of HOXB4 (HOXB4-ER). Upon addition of 4-hydroxytamoxifen (TMX), the HOXB4-ER fusion protein translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, consequently being capable of modulating gene expression. Transduced cell populations were expanded for 14 days in the presence of TMX. Thereafter, HOXB4-ER+LSK (GFP+ , lineage negative, Sca1+, ckit+) cells were flow cytometrically isolated and cultivated either with or without TMX for 1 or 4 hours. Inactivation of HOXB4 activity by TMX withdrawal was intended to mimic the naturally occurring down-regulation of HOXB4 in differentiating stem cells. RNA was prepared after the aforementioned times and the transcriptional profiles of HOXB4-ER+LSK +/- TMX analyzed using the Affymetrix⢠platform. As a control, profiling was also performed with LSK cells expressing unmodified constitutively active HOXB4 (HOXB4const) ± TMX, to exclude changes in gene expression due to unknown effects of tamoxifen itself. RNAs from adult LSK cells were processed for use on Affymetrix GeneChips Mouse Genome 430 2.0. All quality parameters for the arrays were confirmed to be in the recommended range.
Project description:The goal of our present work was to understand the influence parvovirus B19 infection may have on the thyroid hormone signaling pathway, as well as the nuclear receptors (NR) pathway overall. We demonstrated that B19 infection of CD36+ erythroid progenitor cells leads to downregulation of the thyroid hormone receptor α isoform. In addition to that we have shown that B19 infection modulates the expression of other members of the NR superfamily such as estrogen and retinoid receptors. CD36+ cells (StemCell Technologies) were mock-infected or infected with B19, 48 hours post infection cells were collected, total RNA was isolated, and cDNA was obtained as described above. TaqMan® array human nuclear receptors fast 96-well plates obtained from Applied Biosystems (Carlsbad, CA) were utilized in order to assess the differences of 92 nuclear receptors’ expression in mock- and B19-infected CD36+ cells. Relative quantity (RQ) values were calculated using the 2-ΔΔCt method.
