Transcription profiling of mouse tet inducible NIH 3T3 cells expressing ATPase-defective BRG-1 to identify SWI-SNF-Regulated Genes
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: NIH 3T3 cells (mouse fibroblasts) were engineered such that the dominant negative ATPase-defective BRG-1 is expressed via the tet-off inducible expression system to inactivate the SWI-SNF chromatin remodeling complexes (Mol Cell Biol 20, 2839). These cell lines have been used for several studies to demonstrate the in vivo functions of the SWI-SNF complexes in transcription, differentiation and cell cycle control. We used one of those cell line designated as B05-1. B05-1 cells were cultured in the medium with tetracycline for routine maintenance, and cultured in the medium without tetracycline for four days to maximally induce the expression of the dominant negative BRG-1, which we designated as B05-1(+tet) and B05-1(-tet) cells, respectively. The aim of our microarray experiments was to determine the genes whose expression levels are changed by inactivation of the SWI-SNF complexes by analyzing the genes differentially expressed between B05-1(+tet) and B05-1(-tet) cells. It should be noted that, since the comparison was made between B05-1 cells cultured with and without tetracycline for four days, the genes differentially expressed between these two cells do not only represent the genes that are directly regulated by the SWI-SNF complexes but also include the genes that are secondarily affected by SWI-SNF inactivation as well as the genes whose expression is changed by tetracycline effect per se.
