Project description:TRIM24 PHD-Bromo domains exhibit preferential binding to unmethylated H3K4 and acetylated H3K27. TRIM24 is a co-activator of estrogen receptor (ER). The results suggest that specific ER-binding sites are depleted of H3K4me2 with estrogen treatment. TRIM24 binds these sites preferentially and facilitates ER-regulated gene expression, cell survival and proliferation. ChIP performed on MCF7 cells +/- estrogen with antibodies against ER, TRIM24 and H3K4me2. ChIP assays of ER, co-activator TRIM24 and H3K4me2 were performed with two concentrations of antibody, without and 6h with estrogen treatment of MCF7 cells. Antibody-enriched samples were sequenced two times, and compared to an IgG negative control and Input. Enriched DNA sequenced by Illumina Solexa.
Project description:To investigate the function of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2) in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer, we perfomed bulk and single-cell RNA-seq on MCF7 and MCF7 TDP2-KO cells treated with/without estrogen .
Project description:MCF7 cells were stimulated with vehicle or 100nM corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) for 24h. The effect of CRH on the expression of genes relevant to estrogen signalling was investigated by using the Human Estrogen Receptor Signaling RT² Profiler™ PCR Array (SABioscience Corp).
