Project description:RNA-seq was performed to identify novel mechanistic targets of FoxQ1 in human breast cancer cells using empty vector-transfected control (EV) and FoxQ1 overexpressing SUM159 cells. We found that interleukin-1α and interleukin-8 are direct transcriptional targets of FoxQ1.
Project description:The forkhead box (FOX) family of transcriptional regulators is characterized by a distinct forkhead DNA-binding domain11. FOXF1 gene is highly conserved across species and implicated in embryonic digestive tract morphogenesis. In an in-vitro established model, normal esophageal squamous cells, EPC2, were transfected with FOXF1 to determine pathways regulated by FOXF1 during the squamous to columnar change in cells.
Project description:Analysis of HEKa cells depleted of Forkhead box E1 (FOXE1). FOXE1 is induced in psoriasis lesions and promotes keratinocytes. Results provide insight into the downstream targets of FOXE1 function in psoriasis.
Project description:RNA-seq identified different gene sets relating to biological functions such as aging, longevity, and nutrient sensing and signaling that were regulated in a sex-biased manner between the placenta and fetal brain. Conditional knockout of the transcription factor Forkhead Box A2 (Foxa2) in the uterus elicited sexual conflicting expression of those genes between the placenta and fetal brain.
Project description:We performed the first RNAseq analysis of human primary neutrophils exposed to lipopolysaccharide which revealed a robustly enhanced transcriptional network driven by forkhead box (FOX) transcription factors.
