Project description:gene expression data from mouse adipocyte, with and without Ebf1 knock-down To ascertain the functional targets of Ebf1 in adipocytes, we depleted Ebf1 from mature 3T3-L1 cells by transducing them with lentivirus harboring one of two different Ebf1-specific hairpins or a scrambled control. We then performed expression profiling using Affymetrix arrays with triplicate samples for each hairpin.
Project description:ChIP-seq data from mouse adipocyte. Mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes were cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde 10 days after induction with MDI. Frozen cell pellets were submitted to the Broad Institute for subsequent analysis of Ebf1-bound regions using anti-Ebf1 antibody (Abnova H00001879-M01).
Project description:Early B cell factor 1 (EBF1) is one of the key transcription factors required for orchestrating B-cell lineage development. Although studies have shown that Ebf1 haploinsufficiency is involved in the development of leukemia, no study has been conducted that characterizes the global effect of Ebf1 heterozygosity on the proteome of pro-B lymphocytes. Here, we employ both DIA (Data Independent Acquisition) and shotgun DDA (Data Dependent Acquisition) workflows for profiling proteins that are differently expressed between Ebf1+/+ and Ebf1+/- cells. Both DDA and DIA were able to reveal the downregulation of the EBF1 transcription factor in Ebf1+/- pro-B lymphocytes. Further examination of differentially expressed proteins by DIA revealed that, similar to EBF1, the expression of other B-cell lineage regulators, such as TCF3 and Pax5, is also down-regulated in Ebf1 heterozygous cells. Functional DIA analysis of differentially expressed proteins showed that EBF1 heterozygosity resulted in the deregulation of at least 8 transcription factors involved in lymphopoiesis, and to the deregulation of key proteins playing crucial roles in survival, development and differentiation of pro-B lymphocytes.
Project description:NIH-3T3 cells transduced with either EBF1-, PPARg2- or empty vector were stimulated with hormones to initiate adipocyte differentiation. RNA extraction was done using TriZol at d0, d2, d4 and d10 after stimulation. Samples were handled according to standard affymetrix protocols. Keywords = Adipogenesis, early B-cell factor 1 (EBF1), commitment, differentiation, NIH-3T3, pparg

Project description:EBF1 and PAX5 are crucial factors for B-cell development. Knock down of either factor leads to an arrest in differentiation. RNA-seq data of WT, Ebf1-/- and Pax5-/- FL-ProB cells allowed for identification of activated and repressed target genes. ATAC-seq data of corresponding cell populations could connect gene activity and chromatin accessibility. This finding provided an explanation to the lineage instability observed in early B-cell progenitors. Taken together, the reported data provide an increased insight into mechanisms governing regulation of stage- and lineage specific transcription in early B-lymphocyte development.
Project description:To study the function of EBF1-H240 residue, a gain-of function microarray analysis was performed by transducing Empty, Ebf1-wt and Ebf1-H240A expressing vectors into Ebf1-/- progenitor cells.
Project description:Ebf1 is a key determinant of B-lymphocyte specification. In order to identify unknown transcriptional targets, endogenous Ebf1 was isolated by chromatin-IP from primary pro-B cells and the copurified DNA was hybridized to promoter tiling arrays. Ebf1 was ChIPed using a polyclonal antibody directed against an N-terminal peptide from primary pro-B cells grown in the presence of Il7. The resulting DNA was analyzed by tiling array hybridization.
Project description:Ebf1 deficient pre-pro B-cells (Fraction A) can be cultured in the presence of stromal feeders and cytokines. The retroviral transduction of these cells with Ebf1 was used as gain-of-function experiment for the analysis of direct and functional target genes of Ebf1. Ebf1 deficient pre-pro B-cells were retrovirally transduced with an Ebf1-expressing or control retrovirus. 24h after transduction the infected cells were isolated and their gene expression profile was compared.
