Project description:The mouse Ikaros-deficient thymic lymphoma cell line T29 was transduced with an empty retrovirus (MigR1) or a retrovirus expressing an fusion proein between Ikaros1 and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor. Cells trreated with ethanol or 4-hydroxy-tamoxyfen (4OHT) for 24h were profiled. We used expression of an inducible ersion of the Ikaros protein in an Ikaros-deficient cell line to identify Ikaros-regulated genes
Project description:The mouse Ikaros-deficient thymic lymphoma cell line T29 was treated with a gamma-secretase inhibitor or vehicle (DMSO) for 36h and subjected to transcriptome analysis. 4 samples
Project description:The mouse Ikaros-deficient thymic lymphoma cell line T29 was transduced with a retrovirus expressing an fusion protein between a dominant-negative form of Mastermind and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor. Cells trreated with Ethanol or 4-hydroxy-tamoxyfen for 24h were profiled. We used expression of an inducible ersion of the dominant negative Mastermind protein in an Ikaros-deficient cell line to identify Notch-regulated genes

Project description:This dataset comprises expression profiles from 3 thymic lymphomas from Ikaros deficient mice (IkL/L model, see Dumortier et al, Mol. Cell. Biol. 26, 209-220, 2006 for a description of the tumor model) and 3 thymic lymphomas from IkL/L mice that harbor a mutation of the Notch1 gene (deletion of floxed sequences comprising the promoter and exon 1 with the CD4-Cre transgene). The results from this experimpent is that the expression of Notch target genes was unexpectedly not altered in the tumors with the Notch1 deletion. This result is explained by the activation of a cryptic 3' Notch1 promoter in the deleted tumors, which leads to constitutive Notch1 activation. These results are described in the following publication: R Jeannet, J Mastio, B Macias-Garcia, A Oravecz, T Ashworth, AS Geimer-Lelay, B Jost, S Le Gras, J Ghysdael, T Gridley, T Honjo, F Radtke, J Aster, S Chan and P Kastner. Oncogenic activation of the Notch1 gene in mouse T-cell leukemia by deletion of its promoter. Blood, in press (2010) Primary thymic tumors from 3 IkL/L Notch1+/+ CD4-Cre+ mice (aged 18-20 weeks) were compared to similar tumors from 3 IkL/L Notch1f/f CD4-Cre+ mice (aged 8-10 weeks).
Project description:The experiment was to compare leukemic T cells from thymic lymphomas from homozygote mice for the IkL/L hypomorphic mutation and non-transformed thymocytes, either of WT or IkL/L genotype. The aim was to identify a gene expression signature specific to the IkL/L tumors. Keywords = thymic lymphoma Ikaros Keywords: other
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.
