Project description:adenovirus mediated overexpression of wild-type CtBP2 and Rossmann fold mutant CtBP2 along with control GUS in dietary induced obese mice
Project description:Using an RNA interference-based genetic screen in mouse F9 cells we identify the transcriptional corepressor CTBP2 as a coactivator critically required for retinoic acid (RA)-induced transcription. Here we perfom a whole genome transcriptome analysis in F9 cells expressing shRNA for Ctbp2 and Rxr in the absence or presence of retinoic acid (RA). A total of 2,754 genes were found to be upregulated (>2 fold) and 1518 genes were downregulated (>2 fold) in response to RA treatment in the control cells. We find that around 52% and 55% of upregulated genes are dependent on Ctbp2 and Rxr for activation respectively suggesting that Ctbp2 is a coactivator of RA signaling.

Project description:Profiling of epigenetic and transcriptomic landscapes in normal mouse liver, phenobarbital exposed mouse livers and mouse liver tumours
Project description:We have identified the CTBP2 protein as a new ZBTB18 interactor. Here we have evaluated transcriptomic changes upon CTBP2 knockdown in the GBM cell line SNB19. Moreover, we have analyzed whether CTBP2 is required for ZBTB18-mediated gene repression.
