Project description:We performed genome-wide mapping of MAF binding sites in control and MAF-overexpressing MCF7 cells to assess the consequences of estrogen (E2) stimulation on MAF recruitment to chromatin. To this end, we cultured MCF7 cells in hormone-deprived (HD) medium for 72 h and then E2 or vehicle was added for 1h prior to chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). Samples were generated in triplicate. We report that MAF binding is largely independent of E2

Project description:Introgressed variants from other species can be an important source of genetic variation because they may arise rapidly, can include multiple mutations on a single haplotype, and have often been pretested by selection in the species of origin. Although introgressed alleles are generally deleterious, several studies have reported introgression as the source of adaptive alleles-including the rodenticide-resistant variant of Vkorc1 that introgressed from Mus spretus into European populations of Mus musculus domesticus. Here, we conducted bidirectional genome scans to characterize introgressed regions into one wild population of M. spretus from Spain and three wild populations of M. m. domesticus from France, Germany, and Iran. Despite the fact that these species show considerable intrinsic postzygotic reproductive isolation, introgression was observed in all individuals, including in the M. musculus reference genome (GRCm38). Mus spretus individuals had a greater proportion of introgression compared with M. m. domesticus, and within M. m. domesticus, the proportion of introgression decreased with geographic distance from the area of sympatry. Introgression was observed on all autosomes for both species, but not on the X-chromosome in M. m. domesticus, consistent with known X-linked hybrid sterility and inviability genes that have been mapped to the M. spretus X-chromosome. Tract lengths were generally short with a few outliers of up to 2.7 Mb. Interestingly, the longest introgressed tracts were in olfactory receptor regions, and introgressed tracts were significantly enriched for olfactory receptor genes in both species, suggesting that introgression may be a source of functional novelty even between species with high barriers to gene flow.

Project description:Homozygous disruption of c-Maf led to embryonic lethality and impaired erythroblastic island formation. c-Maf is expressed in the fetal liver macrophages. It suggests that macrophages are responsible for the lethality of c-Maf knock-out embryos. To search downstream genes of c-Maf, we surveyed genes associated with macrophage function by microarray analysis. keywords: c-Maf, macrophage, erythroblastic islands, WT (c-Maf WT) and c-Maf KO (c-Maf KO) fetal liver macrophages were sorted by a FACSAria cell sorter. Total RNAs from those macrophages were prepared using RNeasy Kit. Genes down-regulated in c-Maf KO macrophages were searched by GeneSpring software.

Project description:MAF-amplification increases the risk of breast cancer (BCa) metastasis through poorly understood mechanisms but with important clinical implications. Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) BCa associated with estrogen (E2) dependency sustains growth of early of breast carcinomas, but ultimately, supports metastasis by unknown mechanisms. Here we integrate proteomics, (epi)genomics and functional assays derived from human and syngeneic BCa mouse models to show that MAF directly interacts with ERalpha, thereby promoting a unique chromatin state that favors the metastatic spread of ER+ BCa cells. Indeed, we identify a set of metastasis-promoting genes that are de novo licenced following EERa2-exposure in a MAF-dependent manner. Among these we found factors influence the establishment of cellular identity and with a known role in metastasis initiation (e.g. SOX9), as well as modulators of the bone stroma, which can ultimately aid in preparing the bone metastatic “soil” (e.g. FGF18, PTHLH and JAG1). Central to the epigenomic remodeling that facilitates the expression of the MAF/E2 gene set is the histone demethylase KDM1A. Indeed, loss of KDM1A activity prevents MAF/E2-mediated BCa metastasis. Collectively, here we disentangle the molecular framework that underlies MAF/E2-mediated metastasis and demonstrate that genetic, epigenetic and hormonal systemic cues are integrated in BCa cells to determine their metastatic success, and with it patient prognosis.

Project description:Here we report the use of high-throughput sequencing technologies (RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq) to identify the molecular programme of the transcirption factor c-MAF (MAF) in parental (MM1.S, JJN3, H929), MAF-depleted (MM1S, JJN3) and MAF-overexpressing (MM1S, U266) multiple myeloma (MM) cells . We performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) against MAF in naive MM cells , and against MAF, H3K27ac and H3K4me1 in MAF-overexpressing cells. Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) was performed on MAF-overexpressing U266 myeloma cells. In addition, we identifed the transcriptome of MAF-depleted myeloma cells 3 days after lentiviral transduction with MAF-targeting shRNA and scbl control. Our integrated -omics approach provides a comprehensive characterization of the role and function of MAF in myeloma cells and provides novel insights towards the discovery and design of molecular targets for precision therapy against MAF-overexpressing MM.

Project description:Translational research is commonly performed in the C57B6/J mouse strain, chosen for its genetic homogeneity and phenotypic uniformity. Here, we evaluate the suitability of the white-footed deer mouse (Peromyscus leucopus) as a model organism for aging research, offering a comparative analysis against C57B6/J and diversity outbred (DO) Mus musculus strains. Our study includes comparisons of body composition, skeletal muscle function, and cardiovascular parameters, shedding light on potential applications and limitations of P. leucopus in aging studies. Notably, P. leucopus exhibits distinct body composition characteristics, emphasizing reduced muscle force exertion and a unique metabolism, particularly in fat mass. Cardiovascular assessments showed changes in arterial stiffness, challenging conventional assumptions and highlighting the need for a nuanced interpretation of aging-related phenotypes. Our study also highlights inherent challenges associated with maintaining and phenotyping P. leucopus cohorts. Behavioral considerations, including anxiety-induced responses during handling and phenotyping assessment, pose obstacles in acquiring meaningful data. Moreover, the unique anatomy of P. leucopus necessitates careful adaptation of protocols designed for Mus musculus. While showcasing potential benefits, further extensive analyses across broader age ranges and larger cohorts are necessary to establish the reliability of P. leucopus as a robust and translatable model for aging studies.

Project description:BackgroundCopy number variation is an important dimension of genetic diversity and has implications in development and disease. As an important model organism, the mouse is a prime candidate for copy number variant (CNV) characterization, but this has yet to be completed for a large sample size. Here we report CNV analysis of publicly available, high-density microarray data files for 351 mouse tail samples, including 290 mice that had not been characterized for CNVs previously.ResultsWe found 9634 putative autosomal CNVs across the samples affecting 6.87% of the mouse reference genome. We find significant differences in the degree of CNV uniqueness (single sample occurrence) and the nature of CNV-gene overlap between wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains. CNV-gene overlap was associated with lipid metabolism, pheromone response and olfaction compared to immunity, carbohydrate metabolism and amino-acid metabolism for wild-caught mice and classical laboratory strains, respectively. Using two subspecies of wild-caught Mus musculus, we identified putative CNVs unique to those subspecies and show this diversity is better captured by wild-derived laboratory strains than by the classical laboratory strains. A total of 9 genic copy number variable regions (CNVRs) were selected for experimental confirmation by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR).ConclusionThe analysis we present is a comprehensive, genome-wide analysis of CNVs in Mus musculus, which increases the number of known variants in the species and will accelerate the identification of novel variants in future studies.
