Project description:Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are required for normal differentiation and development, and their activity is found deregulated in cancer. PcG proteins are involved in gene silencing, however, whether they initiate or maintain transcriptional repression is a subject of debate. Here, we show that knockout of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) does not lead to significant gene expression changes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), and that it is dispensable for initiating silencing of target genes during differentiation. Transcriptional inhibition in mESCs is sufficient to induce genome-wide ectopic PRC2 recruitment to endogenous PcG target genes found in other tissues. PRC2 binding analysis shows that it is restricted to nucleosome-free CpG islands (CGIs) of un-transcribed genes. Our results show that it is the transcriptional state that governs PRC2 binding, and we propose that it binds by default to non-transcribed CGI genes to maintain their silenced state and to protect cell identity. Suz12, H3K27me3 and RNAPII ChIP-seq experiments before and after transcriptional inhibition with either DRB (0h, 6h and 12h) or Triptolide (0h, 3h and 9h) treatment of Mus musculus wild-type E14 Embryonic Stem Cells with up to two biological replicates per condition.

Project description:We have studied the expression profile of 3D cultured human chondrocytes that were stimulated with supernatant of synovial fibroblasts derived from a RA patient (RASF=HSE cell line) and from a normal donor (NDSF=K4IM cell line), respectively. For this purpose, passage 2 human chondrocytes were cultured for 14 days in alginate beads and subsequently stimulated for 48 hours with supernatant of RASF and NDSF. Baseline expression was determined of unstimulated chondrocytes. Differential genome-wide microarray analysis of RASF and NDSF stimulated chondrocytes disclosed a distinct expression profile related to cartilage destruction involving marker genes of inflammation (COX-2), NF-kappa B signaling pathway (TLR2), cytokines/chemokines and receptors (CXCL1-3, CCL20, CXCL8, CXCR4, IL-6, IL-1beta), matrix degradation (MMP-10, MMP-12) and suppressed matrix synthesis (COMP). Thus, transcriptome profiling of RASF and NDSF stimulated chondrocytes revealed a disturbed catabolic-anabolic homeostasis of chondrocyte function. This study provides a comprehensive insight into the molecular regulatory processes induced in human chondrocytes during RA-related cartilage destruction. Experiment Overall Design: To reveal the RA-related chondrocyte gene expression profile, genome-wide microarray analysis of RASF stimulated human chondrocytes compared to NDSF stimulation was performed. Unstimulated chondrocytes were analyzed for baseline gene expression. For microarray analysis of RASF and NDSF stimulated and unstimulated chondrocytes, respectively, two RNA pools were analyzed, each pool consisting of equal amounts of RNA from three different donors.

Project description:Polycomb proteins are classical regulators of stem cell self-renewal and cell lineage commitment and are frequently deregulated in cancer. Here we find that the non-canonical PRC1.1 complex, as identified by mass spectrometry-based proteomics, is critically important for human leukemic stem cells. Downmodulation of PRC1.1 complex members, like the DNA-binding subunit KDM2B, strongly reduces cell proliferation in vitro and delays or even abrogates leukemogenesis in vivo in humanized xenograft models. PRC1.1 components are significantly overexpressed in primary AML CD34+ cells. Besides a set of genes that is co-targeted by PRC1 and PRC2, ChIP-seq studies show that PRC1.1 also binds a distinct set of genes that are devoid of H3K27me3 suggesting a gene regulatory role independent of PRC2. This set encompasses genes involved in metabolism, which have transcriptionally active chromatin profiles. These data indicate that PRC1.1 controls distinct gene clusters involved in unique cell biological processes required for leukemic cell viability. K562 cells were transduced with lentiviral GFP-fusion vectors encoding GFP-CBX2, PCGF1-GPF, PCGF2-GFP, PCGF4-GFP, GFP-RING1A or GFP-RING1B. K562 cells expressing GFP-fusions at relatively low levels were sorted and expanded and subsequently crosslinked. ChIP reactions were performed using the following antibodies: anti-GFP (ab290, Abcam), anti-H3K27me3 (07-449, Millipore), anti-H3K4me3 (ab8580, Abcam), anti-H2AK119ub (D27C4, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-KDM2B (ab137547, Abcam). Furthermore, ChIP reactions were performed using primary AML CD34+ and Peripheral Blood (PB) CD34+ cells using anti-H3K27me3 (07-449, Millipore), anti-H3K4me3 (ab8580, Abcam), anti-H2AK119ub (D27C4, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-KDM2B (ab137547, Abcam).

Project description:Longitudinal bone growth depends upon the execution of an intricate series of cellular activities by epiphyseal growth plate chondrocytes. In order to better understand these coordinated events, microarray analysis was used to compare gene expression in chondrocytes isolated from the proliferative and hypertrophic zones of the avian growth plate. In this experiment we compared pooled samples of proliferative and hypertrophic chondrocytes isolated from the chick growth plate. The expression of 745 genes was found to differ 3-fold or greater at the 0.05 level of probability. Experiment Overall Design: We examined 8 samples using arrays: 4 from proliferative and 4 from hypertrophic chondrocytes.

Project description:The Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2 are key mediators of heritable gene silencing in multicellular organisms. Here we characterize AEBP2, a known PRC2 cofactor which, in vitro, has been shown to stimulate PRC2 activity. We show that AEBP2 localises specifically to PRC2 target loci, including the inactive X chromosome. Proteomic analysis confirms that AEBP2 associates exclusively with PRC2 complexes. However, analysis of embryos homozygous for a targeted mutation of Aebp2 unexpectedly revealed a Trithorax phenotype, normally linked to antagonism of Polycomb function. Consistent with this we observe elevated levels of PRC2 mediated histone H3K27 methylation at target loci in Aebp2 mutant embryonic stem cells. We further demonstrate that mutant ES cells assemble atypical hybrid PRC2 sub-complexes, potentially accounting for enhancement of Polycomb activity, and suggesting that AEBP2 normally plays a role in defining the mutually exclusive composition of PRC2 sub-complexes. H3K27me3, SUZ12, and AEBP2 ChIP-Seq in wild-type and AEBP2 KO mouse ESCs, biological replicates, pre-cleared chromatin as input, additionally FS2 ChIP-Seq in cells with FS2 tagged AEBP2, HiSeq2000

Project description:BBF2H7 (BBF2 human homolog on chromosome 7), an ER-resident basic leucine zipper transcription factor, is activated in response to ER stress and abundantly expresses in chondrocytes. While BBF2H7 is widely expressed in many tissues and organs, the most intense signals were detected in the proliferating zone of the cartilage. We compared gene expressions in primary cultured chondrocytes prepared from rib cartilage between WT and BBF2H7-/- mice at E18.5. Primary cultured chondrocytes were prepared from E18.5 rib cartilage of WT and BBF2H7-/- mice. Chondrocytes were isolated using 0.2% collagenase D (Roche) after adherent connective tissue was removed by 0.2% trypsin (Sigma) and collagenase pretreatment. Isolated chondrocytes were maintained in α-MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FCS and 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid. Adenovirus vectors expressing the mouse p60 BBF2H7 (1-377 aa, BBF-N) were constructed with the AdenoX Expression system (Clontech), according to the manufacturerâs protocol. The cells were infected with adenoviruses 30 h before analysis. We compared gene expressions in primary cultured chondrocytes prepared from rib cartilage between WT and BBF2H7-/- mice at E18.5 using a microarray and various genes associated with protein secretory pathway and ER biogenesis were significantly down-regulated in BBF2H7-/- chondrocytes. We infected primary cultured chondrocytes prepared from BBF2H7-/- mice with adenovirus expressing p60 BBF2H7. Several genes were up-regulated and we picked up them as the direct target of BBF2H7.

Project description:In mammals, the peptide hormone vasopressin controls renal water excretion, largely through its actions in the renal collecting duct to regulate the molecular water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2). There are two modes of regulation: 1) short-term regulation by membrane trafficking; and 2) long-term regulation involving vasopressin-induced changes in the abundance of the aquaporin-2 protein. Defects in the long-term regulation have been implicated in multiple water balance disorders. With the objetive to identify genes that are transcriptionally regulated in response to vasopressin in cultured mouse collecting duct cells (mpkCCD), we carried out both RNA-seq to measure all transcripts (n=9) and ChIP-seq for RNA polymerase II (Polr2a) binding along the genome (n=3). Observations were made both after 24-hr treatment with the vasopressin analog dDAVP and with vehicle. Protocol:Confluent monolayers mpkCCD cells were washed in ice-cold 1X PBS (Ca+2/Mg+2-free) followed by cross-linking in 1.11% formaldehyde in Covaris Fixing Buffer (5.5 ml) for 5min at room temperature with gentle rocking (PN 520075, Covaris, Woburn, Massachusetts). Cross-linking was terminated by the addition of 0.3 ml of 1X Covaris Quenching Buffer with rocking. The buffer solution was aspirated and 1X ice-cold PBS was added to each plate. Cells were scraped into 15ml conical tubes, spun down (200 x g, 5 min), and washed twice with PBS. After the second wash, cell pellets were resuspended in 10 ml of 1X Covaris Lysis Buffer for 10 min at 4o C with rocking. Nuclei were pelleted by spinning at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclear pellets was resuspended in the 1X Covaris Wash Buffer and incubated for 10 mins at 4o C with rocking. Samples were spun at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclear pellets were washed twice with the Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer and spun at 1,700 x g for 5 min at 4o C. Nuclei were resuspended in Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer (Maximum of 1-3x 10^7cells per ml of buffer). Shearing. Two 20 ul aliquots of the resuspended pellets were removed prior to shearing to be used as subsequent unsheared controls for immunoblotting and agarose gel electrophoresis. The remaining samples were transferred to AFA tubes (TC12 x 12 mm) and volumes adjusted to 1 ml (V)). Samples were sheared using a Covaris S2 SonoLAB Single system for two minutes (Duty cycle: 5%; Intensity: 4; cycle: 200). Total nuclear protein concentration of each sample in mcg/ml (R) was determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). To test shearing efficiency, a 20 ul aliquot from each tube was removed after shearing to test the efficacy of shearing. The aliquots, including the unsheared sample, were incubated with 100 ul 1X TE buffer, 10 ul 10% SDS, and RNAse A (10 ug/ul, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Massachusetts) for 30 mins at 37o C. 1 ul proteinase K (20 ug/ul) was added and the samples were incubated overnight at 65o C. The DNA was purified using DNA Clean & Concentrator columns (Catalog #: D4013, Zymo Research, Irvine, CA) and ran on an E-gel EX 2% agarose (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). Target fragment sizes for chromatin immunoprecipitation were in the range of 150-700 bp in length with average fragment size of 300 bp. Testing epitope integrity (immunoblotting). Total protein content was determined with the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL). Samples were then diluted with sample buffer (5X Laemmli buffer) at 20% (v/v) of the entire sample volume. Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE (4-20% polyacrylamide gels, Criterion, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and transferred electrophoretically onto nitrocellulose membranes as previously described (Hwang, 2010). Membranes were probed with anti-RNA polymerase II (Catalog #: MMS-126R, Covance). The antibody was used at a 1:500 dilution (anti-RNA polymerase II) (in Odyssey blocking buffer containing 0.1% Tween 20) overnight at 4°C. After 1-h incubation with secondary antibody (Li-Cor Biosciences 680 anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G or 800 anti-mouse immunoglobulin G; Lincoln, NE) at 1:5000 dilution, sites of antibody-antigen reaction were detected using an Odyssey infrared imager (Li-Cor). Chromatin immunoprecipitation. 10 ul of sample equivalent to 2% input was removed prior to IP. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation was performed using 30-90 ug of sheared chromatin in 500 uL of 1X Covaris Non-ionic Shearing Buffer with 10 μl anti-RNA polymerase II antibodies. Samples were incubated overnight at 4°C with rotation, followed by addition of ChIP Grade Protein G Magnet Beads (Catalog #: 9006, Cell Signaling Technology) and incubation for 2 h at 4o C with rotation. The beads were washed a total of four times, including three low salt washes followed by one high salt wash for 5 mins/wash at 4o C (SimpleChIP protocol #9003, Cell Signaling Technology). Immunoprecipitated chromatin was eluted from the beads with 150 ul of 1X ChIP Elution Buffer for 30 mins at 65o C in a thermomixer. To reverse crosslinks, 6 ul of 5M NaCl and 2 ul of 20 ug/ul Proteinase K were added to the chromatin followed by incubation at 65o C overnight. DNA was purified according to SimpleChIP protocol #9003, Cell Signaling Technology. q-PCR. To check the success of the chromatin immunoprecipitation, input and ChIPâ??ed DNA samples were amplified with SYBR Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems) on a 7900HT Fast Real-Time PCR System. Primer sets corresponding to Hox9a and actin genes were used as positive controls for both histone and RNA polymerase II IPâ??s. (see Supplementary Table X for primer sequences). Library construction, amplification and sequencing. Loaded fixed volume of total eluate. Library construction was performed on a NuGEN instrument using the protocol and reagents outlined in the Ovation SP Ultralow Library Systems kit. Libraries were then enriched via PCR. After amplification, DNA was measured. A fixed amount of the total measured DNA was used for sequencing in an Illumina Hiseq2000 instrument to obtain single read data. High-throughput sequencing and read mapping. Libraries for Illumina sequencing of the samples were prepared using the the protocol and reagents outlined in the Ovation SP Ultralow Library Systems kit , NuGen Mondrian SP+ (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA) . Samples were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq2000, obtaining 1- by 50-bp reads. We combine RNA-seq and ChIP-seq to identify genes whose mRNA abundances change in tandem with changes in RNA polymerase II binding, as a mean to identify genes that are transcriptionally regulated in response to vasopressin. In addition, the pattern of RNA polymerase II binding along the gene provides important information about regulatory mechanisms. We identify two populations of genes regulated by vasopressin in mpkCCD cells, viz. 1) those with increases in transcript abundance and increases in RNA polymerase II binding throughout the gene body and; 2) genes that show increases in RNA polymerase II binding in the promotor proximal region but do not produce increases in transcript level. The former group is restricted to 35 genes and includes Aqp2. The latter group is made up of the majority of expressed genes and is presumably due to a widespread increase in transcriptional initiation without proportionate release of pausing.

Project description:TNF-a is increased in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. TNF-a activates MEK/ERK in chondrocytes; however the overall functional relevance of MEK/ERK to TNF-a-regulated gene expression in chondrocytes is unknown. Chondrocytes were treated with TNF-a with or without the MEK1/2 inhibitor U0126 for 24 h. Microarray analysis was used to identify genes regulated by TNF-a in a MEK1/2-dependent fashion. Experiment Overall Design: Primary chondrocytes from the femoral condyles of neonatal rats were treated with DMSO (control sample), TNF-a, U0126 (selective MEK1/2 inhibitor) or TNF-a and U0126. Two biological replicates were collected for each treatment. Total RNA was collected and analyzed by Affymetrix Microarray.
