Project description:In this study, we investigated somatic mutations in T cells in patients with various hematological disorders. To analyze immune cell phenotypes with somatic mutations, we performed scRNA+TCRab sequencing from 9 patients with chronic GVHD and clonal expansions of CD4+ or CD8+ T cells based on T cell receptor sequencing. CD45+ PBMCs (lymphocytes and monocytes) were sorted with BD Influx cell sorter and subjected to sequencing with Chromium VDJ and Gene Expression platform (v1.1, 10X Genomics). Sequencing was performed with Novaseq 6000 (Illumina). The immune cell phenotypes were compared to healthy controls processed in the same laboratory (accession number E-MTAB-11170). Due to data privacy concerns, the raw sequencing data is in the European Genome-Phenome Archive (EGA) under accession code [xxxx] and can be requested through the EGA Data Access Committee.

Project description:Recently, the H3K4 demethylase, KDM5B, was shown to be amplified and overexpressed in luminal breast cancer, suggesting it might constitute a potential cancer therapy target. Here, we characterize, in breast cancer cells, the molecular effects of a recently developed small-molecule inhibitor of the KDM5 family of proteins, either alone, or in combination with the DNA demethylating agent 5-aza-2’ deoxycytidine (DAC). Alone, the KDM5 inhibitor (KDM5i) increased expression of a small number of genes, but when combined with DAC, the drug enhanced the effects of the latter for increasing expression of hundreds of DAC responsive genes. ChIP-seq studies revealed that KDM5i resulted in the broadening of existing, and creation of thousands of new H3K4me3 domains. When compared to DAC alone, increased promoter and gene body H3K4me3 occupancy at DAC responsive genes was observed in cells treated with the drug combination. Importantly, treatment with either DAC or DAC+KDM5i induced a dramatic increase in H3K27ac at enhancers with an associated significant increase in target gene expression, suggesting a previously unappreciated effect of DAC on transcriptional regulation. Finally, we found that KDM5i could synergize with DAC to reduce the viability of luminal breast cancer cells in in-vitro assays. Our study provides the first look into the molecular effects of novel KDM5i compounds and suggests that combining these with DAC may represent an exciting new approach to epigenetic therapy.
Project description:Estrogen signaling and epigenetic modifications, in particular DNA methylation, are involved in regulation of gene expression in breast cancers. Here we investigated a potential regulatory cross-talk between these two pathways by identifying their common target genes and exploring potential underlying molecular mechanisms in human MCF7 breast cancer cells. Principal Findings: Gene expression profiling revealed that the expression of approximately 150 genes was influenced by both 17β-estradiol (E2) and a hypomethylating agent 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (DAC). Based on gene ontology (GO), CpG island prediction analysis and previously reported estrogen receptor (ER) binding regions, we selected six genes for further analysis (BTG3, FHL2, PMAIP1, BTG2, CDKN1A and TGFB2). GO analysis suggests that these genes are involved in intracellular signaling cascades, regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, while CpG island prediction of promoter regions reveals that the promoters of these genes contain at least one CpG island. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation, we show that ERα is recruited to CpG islands in promoters, but neither in an E2- nor in a DAC-dependent fashion. DAC treatment reactivates the expression of all selected genes although only the promoters of BTG3 and FHL2 genes are methylated, with E2 treatment showing no effect on the methylation status of these promoters. Conclusions: We identified a set of genes regulated by both estrogen signaling and DNA methylation. However, our data does not support a direct molecular interplay of mediators of estrogen and epigenetic signaling at promoters of regulated genes. The aim of the study was to identify genes regulated by estrogen signaling and DNA methylation, using microarray approach. We compared the effects of E2 and DAC on global gene expression profiles in MCF7 cells. By comparing C_E2 (MP5-MP8 average) with C_EtOh samples (MP1-MP4 average), 802 genes were identified as up-regulated by E2, while 851 genes were identified as down-regulated by E2. 1017 genes were identified as up-regulated by DAC, by comparing A_EtOh (MP9-MP12 average) samples with C_EtOh, suggesting that DNA methylation is involved in their regulation. To identify possible common targets, we have compared the DAC up-regulated genes with E2-regulated genes. 88 annotated genes are found to be up-regulated by both E2 and DAC, suggesting that E2 has a hypomethylation-like effect on the regulation of these genes. 58 annotated genes are found to be down-regulated by E2 and up-regulated by DAC, suggesting that E2 has a hypermethylation-like effect on the regulation of these genes.
