Project description:Basal cell carcinoma may undergo BST spontaneously or upon Hedgehog targeting therapy. We identified that modulation of Ras/MAPK or TGFb signaling drive BST. Here, we induce Ras/MAPK and/or abrogate TGFb signaling to induce BST. Alternatively we drive c-FOS to induce BST. In these various experimentally-induced model of BST, we analyze chromatin accessibility profiles upon Ras/MAPK activation and/or TGFb signaling abrogation. We also analyze chromatin accessibility profiles upon c-FOS activation.
Project description:Basal cell carcinoma may undergo BST spontaneously or upon Hedgehog targeting therapy. We identified that modulation of Ras/MAPK or TGFb signaling drive BST. Here, we induce Ras/MAPK and/or abrogate TGFb signaling to induce BST and examine the DNA binding profile of the AP-1 transcription factor c-FOS.

Project description:Basal cell carcinoma may undergo BST spontaneously or upon Hedgehog targeting therapy. We identified that either modulation of Ras/MAPK or TGFb signaling or c-FOS induction could drive BST. Enhanced EGFR signaling has been implicated during BST. Here, we analyze transcriptional profiles upon c-FOS induction when cells are treated with EGFR signaling inhibitors afatinib (5uM) and UO126 (10uM).
