Methylation profiling by array of human and TC1 and TC0 mouse strain livers and testes to study human repetitive elements on human chromosome 21 in a heterologous mouse environment
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The aim of this project is to study human repetitive elements on human chromosome 21 in a heterologous mouse environment (Tc1 mouse). To determine the unbiased regulation of the human genome, suppressed regions of human chromosome 21 were identified in vivo in liver and testes of human and Tc1 mouse by Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450k beadrray. The complementary dataset characterising activated chromosomal regions (H3K4me3) and transcription factor binding sites profiled by ChIP-seq is available under accession E-MTAB-1104.
Project description:This project aims to study human repetitive elements on human chromosome 21 (HsChr21) in a heterologous mouse environment (Tc1 mouse). The in vivo, HsChr21-wide enrichment of active histone modified regions (H3K4me3) and transcription factor binding sites was profiled by ChIP-seq in Human and Tc1 mouse tissue in order to determine the unbiased regulation of the human genome.
Project description:Spermatogenesis is a recurring differentiation process that results in the production of male gametes within the testes. During this process, spermatogonial stem cells differentiate to form spermatocytes, which undergo two rounds of meiotic division to form haploid spermatids. Throughout spermiogenesis, round spermatids elongate to form mature sperm. To profile maturing germ cells during the first wave of spermatogenesis, we generated droplet-based single cell RNAseq from juvenile animals at post-natal day P5-P35 as well as adult animals. Cells were isolated from whole testes. Furthermore, to assay the robustness of the meiotic cell division process, we profiled germ cells of the trans-chromosomal mouse model (Tc1) that carries a copy of the human chromosome 21.
Project description:This study aims to investigate whether the passage of human chromosome 21 through the mouse male germline results in changes in the transcriptional deployment of the exogenous chromosome in the offspring generation. We used the Tc1 mouse model that stably carries almost an entire copy of human chromosome 21 and profiled transcription in the livers of male- and female-germline derived Tc1 mice using strand-specific total RNA-Seq
Project description:This study aims to investigate whether the passage of human chromosome 21 through the mouse male germline results in changes in the transcriptional deployment of the exogenous chromosome in the offspring generation. We used the Tc1 mouse model that stably carries almost an entire copy of human chromosome 21 and profiled the genome-wide pattern of H3K4me3, H3K27ac, CEBPA, HNF4A and RNA polymerase II in liver tissue of male and female-germline derived Tc1 mice using ChIP-Seq. Furthermore, the genome-wide pattern of H3K4me3 was profiled in additional tissues including kidney, liver and brain.
Project description:This study aims to investigate whether the passage of human chromosome 21 through the mouse male germline results in changes in the transcriptional deployment of the exogenous chromosome in the offspring generation. We used the Tc1 mouse model that stably carries almost an entire copy of human chromosome 21 and profiled the genome-wide pattern of non-methylated DNA using BioCAP-sequencing (doi: 10.1093/nar/gkr1207) in the livers of male- and female-germline derived Tc1 mice. This dataset contains only the samples for male-germline derived animals, BioCAP-Seq data for female-germline derived animals have already been deposited in Gene Expression Omnibus with the accession number GSE72208.
Project description:In this study, we examined the effect of Glis3 on the transcriptional activation of gene expression, including insulin gene, in pancreatic α-cell line, αTC1-9, which do not express the insulin gene. We demonstrate that Glis3 induces the transcription of the insulin and identified a number of other genes that are induced by Glis3. Using ChIP-Seq we map the genome-wide sites with which Glis3 is associated. From this the consesus Glis3 binding site was calculated. This study shows that Glis3 is recruited to the proximal promoter of the insuln gene inthe pancreatic α-cell line, αTC1-9.
Project description:We performed an evolutionary comparison of the binding of the TF CTCF in human, chimpanzee, gorilla, orang-utan, macaque, baboon and marmoset using lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). We also probes YY1 binding in human, chimpanzee, orang-utan and baboon LCLs as well as human and mouse liver.
Project description:Intermittent hypoxia (IH) is a hallmark of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which has been proposed as the major determinant of processes involving tumor invasion and metastasis. To study whether circulating DNA (cirDNA) in blood plasma reflects the changes that the tumor cells undergo under IH conditions, we used a xenografted murine model. Mice engrafted with TC1 epithelial lung and controls were exposed to IH or room air (RA) conditions. Plasma cirDNA amounts were significantly increased in mice exposed to IH (p<0.05). We found a significant correlation between plasma cirDNA concentration and tumor size, weight and invasiveness (p<0.05). Using a microarray-based approach, we identified 2,094 regions showing significant differential cirDNA modifications. System biology analysis revealed an association with molecular pathways misregulated in cancer progression and with distal and TSS-associated transcription factor binding sites. We detected clusters of highly variable regions in chromosomes 7, 13, 14 and X, which may highlight hotspots for DNA deletions. Single locus displayed high intragroup variation, suggesting cellular heterogeneity within the tissue may be associated to cirDNA release. Our result showed that exposure to IH increases the shedding of cirDNA into circulation, which carries epigenetic modifications that may characterize cell populations within the tumor that preferentially release their DNA upon IH exposure. 6 xenografted mouse samples were analyzed by microarray analysis: Mouse exposed to IH (n=3, XenoIH group) and mouse exposed to room air conditions (n=3, XenoRA group)
