Project description:The effect of CD151 expression onto the kinome of Jurkat T cells was assessed using kinome analysis. CD151 was expressed in Jurkat T cells by retroviral transduction based on a pMSCV vector. Entrez Gene: 977 UniProtKB: P48509 Jurkat T cells were transduced with the MSCV-CD151 vector and successfully transduced cells were selected using puromycin. For the kinome array experiments 3 independent samples of Jurkat cells and three independent samples of J-CD151 cells were collected. To minimize unspecific background signals, lysates from Jurkat and J-CD151 T cells harvested at different growth stages, which were then pooled to provide one sample prior to loading on the Kinexus antibody microarrays.
Project description:screenning the differentially expressed genes of Jurkat-FF3, Jurkat-miR146a, Jurkat-miR146a-sponge cell lines. To investigate the role of miR-146a on Jurkat T cells, we screened the differentially expressed genes of Jurkat-FF3 (as control), Jurkat-miR146a (as miR-146a overexpression cell line), Jurkat-miR146a-sponge (as miR-146a knock down cell line).
Project description:Cyclin T1-dependent genes in activated Jurkat cells. HIV-1 is dependent upon cellular co-factors to mediate its replication cycle in CD4+ T cells and macrophages, the two major cell types infected by the virus in vivo. One critical co-factor is Cyclin T1, a subunit of a general RNA polymerase II elongation factor known as P-TEFb. Cyclin T1 is targeted directly by the viral Tat protein to activate proviral transcription. Cyclin T1 is up-regulated when resting CD4+ T cells are activated and during macrophage differentiation or activation, conditions that are also necessary for high levels of HIV-1 replication. Because Cyclin T1 is a subunit of a transcription factor, the up-regulation of Cyclin T1 in these cells results in the induction of cellular genes, some of which might be HIV-1 co-factors. Using shRNA depletions of Cyclin T1 and transcriptional profiling, we identified 54 cellular mRNAs that are Cyclin T1-dependent for their induction in activated CD4+ T cells and during macrophage differentiation and activation. The promoters for these Cyclin T1-dependent genes (CTDGs) are over-represented in two transcription factor binding sites, SREBP1 and ARP1. Notably, 10 of these CTDGs have been reported to be involved in HIV-1 replication, a significant over-representation of such genes when compared to randomly generated lists of 54 genes (p value < 0.00021). SiRNA depletions of two CTDGs identified here, CDK11 and Casein kinase1gamma1, suggest that these genes are also involved in HIV-1 replication. It is therefore likely that the 54 CTDGs identified here include novel HIV-1 co-factors. The presence of CTDGs in the protein space that was available for HIV-1 to sample during its evolution and acquisition of Tat function may provide an explanation for why CTDGs are enriched in viral co-factors. Experiment Overall Design: Using shRNA knockdown of cyclin T1, cyclin T1-dependent genes were identified in activated Jurkat cells.
Project description:Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has been shown to be a potent inducer of apoptosis in various cancer cell lines and primary cancer cells. However, in clinical trials administration of recombinant TRAIL or TRAIL death receptor agonists did not show sufficient efficacy for treatment of tested malignant disorders compared to standard chemotherapy. Acquired resistance of cancer cells to TRAIL and to other âdeath receptorâ ligands may explain not only the inability of TRAIL and TRAIL âdeath receptorâ agonists to achieve the clearance of cancer cells in vivo but also the escape of cancer cells from immune cell â mediated killing. Selective pressure of TRAIL on TRAIL-sensitive Jurkat T-lymphoblastic leukemia cells provided several TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell line clones (TR1, TR2, TR3). We showed that acquired TRAIL resistance was associated with complex disruption of both extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways manifested by acquired multi-drug resistant phenotype of TR1, TR2, and TR3 clones. To identify changes associated with TRAIL resistance of Jurkat cells we performed genome-wide gene expression analysis of TRAIL-resistant clones (TR) and compared to WT Jurkat cells. We identified significantly increased expression (1.33-fold change with adjusted p < 0.05) of 73 genes in TR1 clone, 53 genes in TR2 clone and 8 genes in TR3 clone, and significant decrease in expression (0.75-fold change with adjusted p < 0.05) of 174 genes in TR1 clone, 36 genes in TR2 clone and 28 genes in TR3 clone. There was an overlap of only 2 significantly overexpressed (midkine / MDK and zinc finger and BTB domain containing 16 gene / ZBTB16 / PLZF) and 4 downregulated genes (YAP1, IGJ, EIF1AY, RPS4Y1) in all three TR clones. Total cellular RNA was isolated from biologic duplicates of untreated Jurkat cells (WT) and TRAIL resistant Jurkat cell line subclones (TR1, TR2, TR3) established by selective pressure of TRAIL 1000 ng/mL on Jurkat cells over the period of 12 weeks.

Project description:Heterochromatic position effect variegation (PEV) is the epigenetic disruption of genes expression near the new-formed eu-heterochromatic border. We characterized the inversion In(2)A4, demonstrating cis-acting PEV as well as trans-inactivation of the reporter transgenes on the opposite normal chromosome in combination with the inversion. Euchromatic breakpoint of In(2)A4 inversion was localized at 105 bp region (chr2L:21182214-21182318) of the second exon of the Mcm10 gene, the heterochromatic breakpoint is located at the block of dodecasatellite in 2L pericentromeric heterochromatin. In order to check the effects of heterochromatin on neighbor euchromatic genes and estimate the distance of inactivation spreading, we performed RNA-seq analysis of genes expression in larvae and adults females of genotypes A12/A12 (control) and In(2)A4/In(2)A4. Cis-influence of heterochromatin in the inversion causes not only repression, but also activation of genes, and the effects of heterochromatin are different at different developmental stages. Cis-actions affect only a few genes located near the heterochromatin Comparison of genes expression in wild type and demonstrating PEV larvae and adults in two repeats each
Project description:The LEDGF transcript from the PSIP1 gene was knocked down in Jurkat cells using RNAi technology. The resulting Jurkat-derived cell line (Jurkat-siJK2) was compared to a control cell line (wild type Jurkat) using microarray analysis. Genes identified as being modulated by LEDGF were preferential targets of HIV integration. Experiment Overall Design: 2 cell lines were used, Jurkat-siJK2 (experimental) and wild-type Jurkat (control). 3 independent cultures of each cell line were used for independent RNA extractions, labeling reactions and array hybridizations.
Project description:Previous data have demonstrated the attenuation of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced hyperproliferation and migration in primary human mesangial cells by lipoxin A4. In these experiments we aimed to find out what the effect of Lipoxin A4 would be on the global genomic changes associated with PDGF. We treated cells with PDGF (10ng/ml) ± LXA4 (1nM) for a 24h period and examined genomic differences, we could derive from our results that lipoxin A4 was diminishing the pro-inflammatory, pro-proliferative and pro-fibrotic responses induced by PDGF.
Project description:miR-181 is often dysregulated in several types of cancer. This dataset can represent a further insight into gene expression changes and GO Terms associated with miR-181 over-expression. miR-181 was over-expressed in Jurkat cells by transduction with a lentiviral transgenic construct encoding for miR-181 under a PGK promoter. A cognate vector encoding for a control hairpin was used to generate control cell line. mRNA Microarray gene expression profiling of Jurkat cells tranduced with either a miR-181 sponge or control construct. 3 biological replicas have been performed. Note that the control samples are the same as those used in the related experiment E-MTAB-4588
