Project description:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in approximately 90% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), and molecularly targeted therapy against the EGFR with the monoclonal antibody cetuximab modestly increases overall survival in head and neck cancer patients. We hypothesize that co-signaling through additional pathways limits the efficacy of cetuximab and EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in the clinical treatment of HNSCC. Analysis of gene expression changes in HNSCC cell lines treated 4 days with TKIs targeting EGFR and/or fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) identified transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) induction in the three cell lines tested. Measurement of TGF-β2 mRNA validated this observation and extended it to additional cell lines. Moreover, TGF-β2 mRNA was increased in primary patient HNSCC xenografts treated for 4 weeks with cetuximab, demonstrating in vivo relevance of these findings. Functional genomics analyses with shRNA libraries identified TGF-β2 and TGF-β receptors (TGFβRs) as synthetic lethal genes in the context of TKI treatment. Further, direct RNAi-mediated silencing of TGF-β2 inhibited cell growth, both alone and in combination with TKIs. Also, a pharmacological TGFβRI inhibitor similarly inhibited basal growth and enhanced TKI efficacy. In summary, the studies support a TGF-β2-TGFβR pathway as a TKI-inducible growth pathway in HNSCC that limits efficacy of EGFR-specific inhibitors. HNSCC cell lines treated 4 days with TKIs targeting EGFR and/or fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) identified transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) induction in the three cell lines tested

Project description:A375 and HT1080 cells are treated with G-quadruplex ligands PDS or PhenDC3 following genome-wide shRNA knockdown. This enables the identification of genes that when silenced, specifically compromises cell growth in the presence of the ligand. First, a pilot screen was performed to determine a ligand concentration and experimental duration that caused ligand-specific, significant changes in shRNA levels. Second, a genome-wide screen was performed to globally evaluate G4-ligand synthetic lethal interactions. Third, to corroborate the G4-sensitisers uncovered in the genome-wide screen, a focussed screen was performed with a custom shRNA pool.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells have been modified with a DNA methylation reporter based on the Sprn promoter system published in Stelzer et al. (Cell, 2015). This reporter allows selection by Hygromycin as well as mScarlet expression. The cells were infected with a Lentiviral genome-wide CRISPR/Cas library resulting in the upregulation of Hygromycin/mScarlet when cells lose global DNA methylation.

Project description:Multiple gene expression studies have demonstrated that breast cancer biological diversity is associated with distinct transcriptional programs. Transcription factors, because of their unique ability to coordinate the expression of multiple genes, are speculated to play a role in generating phenotypic plasticity associated with cancer progression including acquired drug resistance. Combinatorial libraries of artificial zinc-finger transcription factors (ZF-TFs) provide a robust means for inducing and understanding various functional components of the cancer phenotype. Herein, we utilized combinatorial ZF-TF library technology to better understand how breast cancer cells acquire resistance to a fulvestrant, a clinically important anti-endocrine therapeutic agent. We isolated six ZF-TF library members capable of inducing stable, long-term anti-endocrine drug-resistance in two independent estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cell lines. Comparative gene expression profile analysis of the ZF-TF-transduced breast cancer cell lines revealed a 72-gene cluster that constituted a common signature for the fulvestrant-resistance phenotype. Pathway enrichment-analysis of gene expression data revealed that the ZF-TF-induced fulvestrant resistance is associated with an estrogen receptor negative-like gene set and four unique myb-regulated gene sets. Furthermore, we identified a set of genes strongly expressed in the ZF-TF-induced fulvestrant-resistant cells that was correlated with a lower probability of distant metastasis-free or death-from-relapse-free survival of breast cancer patients. MCF7-R73 cells, a monoclonal MCF7 subline that is highly sensitive to fulvestrant-induced cytocidal activity, underwent retroviral transduction with the zinc finger transcription factor (ZF-TF) activator library or with a control plasmid encoding only the NF-kB p65 activation domain. Both populations of cells were enriched for transduced cells by selecting for growth in puromycin and for fulvestrant-resistant cells by selecting with 100 nM fulvestrant. After 6 weeks of continuous treatment with fulvestrant, hundreds of drug-resistant colonies emerged from the population of cells infected with the ZF-TF activator library. By contrast, as expected, the control MCF7cell line transduced by NF-kB p65-only underwent massive cell death resulting in the complete absence of resistant colonies. DNA encoding the zinc-finger arrays was rescued by PCR from genomic DNA of pooled fulvestrant-resistant cells. The sequences of the ZF-TFs were determined and 46 unique ZF-TF clones identified. These 46 unique ZF-TFs were re-cloned into the retroviral vector and converted into clonal virus stocks that were used to transduce MCF7-R73 cells. These 46 retrovirally transduced cell populations were then challenged with fulvestrant. As compared with the control MCF-238 cells, MCF7-R73 cells transduced with six unique ZF-TFs demonstrated survival and growth in the presence of 100nM fulvestrant.

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:Although internal PolyA RNA modification N6-methyladenosine (m6A) plays essential roles in diverse biological processes, technology to detect precise m6A sites at transcriptome-wide scale is lacking. Here, we discovered that m6A interferes A (Adenine) – U (Uracil) or A-T (Thymidine) pairing. Based on differential hybridization between methylated vs. unmethylated RNAs to a DNA probe, we developed tiling microarray to pinpoint m6A sites in mouse transcriptome. We validated some of the identified sites and provided evidence to suggest that one functional mechanism of m6A is to block small RNA targeting to methylated mRNA. We designed a custom tiling array with to examine the precise location of m6A within meRIP-seq peaks from mouse embryonic stem cells determined in our previous publication (Wang et al., 2014). Each custom two-channel Agilent tiling array harbors 947,952 probes. Each probe is 25 nucleotides (nt), and any two adjacent probes in the genomic coordinate overlap each other by 19 nt. The Cy5 or red channel corresponds to Mettl14 knockout (M14) or DZA mutant mESC cell line, and Cy3 or green channel is associated with wild type cell line treated with scramble hairpin (SCR). Thus, in principle a higher Cy5/Cy3 signal for each probe reflects an increased hybridization to the oligonucleotide due to de-methylation of a particular RNA molecule in M14 or DZA condition relative to the SCR control. Moreover, we employed additional arrays with both channels dedicated for M14 as an external control for technical difference between the Cy5 and Cy3 dye (details below). For each comparison, we have three biological replicates, and therefore there are 9 tiling arrays in total (i.e., 3 arrays for M14 vs SCR, 3 arrays for DZA vs SCR, and 3 arrays for M14 vs M14).

Project description:Recent methylome studies have located N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification on thousands of mammalian transcripts. However, its functional mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we examined the role of m6A methylation in mouse embryonic stem cells. To gain an understanding of dynamic changes in cells depleted with (proposed) methyltranferases at molecular level, we examined the time-series gene expression pattern in mESC lines using microarray analysis. After 0, 4 and 8 h incubation with scramble, shRNA for Mettl3 or Mettl14, mESC cells were collected and RNAs were isolated for microarray analysis using Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST array. After 0 h incubation with scramble, shRNA for Mettl3 or Mettl14, mESC cells were collected and RNAs were isolated for microarray analysis using Affymetrix Genechip Mouse Gene 2.0 ST array.
