Project description:We studied the variations of mRNA amounts after Evi1 knockdown or Flag-Evi1 overexpression in SKOV-3 cells. Despites Evi1 discovery in 1988, its recognized role as a dominant oncogene in myeloid leukemia and more recently in epithelial cancers, only a few target genes were known and it was not clear why Evi1 was involved in cancer progression. Here we obtained the genomic binding occupancy and expression data for Evi1 in human ovarian carcinoma cells. We identified numerous Evi1 target cancer genes and genes controlling cell migration and adhesion. Moreover, we characterized a transcriptional cooperation between AP1 and Evi1 that regulated proliferation and adhesion through a feed-forward loop. Furthermore, this study provides human genome-wide mapping and downstream analyses for Evi1 that will be useful for the research community.

Each condition was done in 4 replicates, collected 65 hours after transfection. Transfections with control siRNA or Flag-expressing vector were used as controls.

Each condition was done in 4 replicates, collected 24 hours after transfection (for mild expression of EVI1 or EVI1?324). Transfections with Flag-expressing vector were used as controls.

Project description:Overexpression of the Ecotropic viral integration site 1 (EVI1) gene typically associates with aggressive forms of leukemia. Aberrant EVI1 expression is also detected in breast carcinoma but its role in this tumor type is largely unknown. In order to analyze its effects in breast cancer, shRNA knockdown was performed on MDA-MB-231 cells and gene expression compared in EVI1 knockdown versus corresponding control shRNA treated cells.
