Project description:Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signals via Gli transcription factors to direct digit number and identity in the vertebrate limb. We have characterized the Gli-dependent cis-regulatory network through a combination of whole genome ChIP-on-chip and transcriptional profiling of the developing mouse limb. These analyses identified approximately 5,000 high quality Gli3 binding sites, including all known Gli-dependent enhancers. Discrete binding regions exhibit a higher-order clustering, highlighting the complexity of cis-regulatory interactions. Further, Gli3 binds inertly to previously identified neural-specific Gli enhancers, demonstrating the accessibility of their cis-regulatory elements. Intersection of DNA binding data with gene expression profiles predicted 205 putative limb target genes. The supplementary bed file contains all 5,274 high quality binding Gli3 binding sites reported in the paper.
Project description:Purpose: This study seeks to determine whether GLI3 is required to recruit the SMARCC1 complex to GLI enhancers in the limb. Methods: To determine if Gli3 is required to recruit SMARCC1 to its anhancers, we performed differential chromatin binding to compare SMARCC1 binding in control and Gli3 mutants. We performed Cut&Run for SMARCC1 binding on individually genotyped E11.5 (40-43s) anterior forelimb pairs from control (Gli3+/+; 3 replicates) and Gli3 mutant (Gli3-/-; 4 replicates) embryos. Results: We found that there is no major difference in SMARCC1 binding in Gli3-mutants compared to controls.
Project description:Purpose: The response to Hedgehog signaling in the limb is driven by GLI bound enhancers and the majority of Hh targets in the developing limb bud are regulated solely by the activity of GLI-repressor. Currently we do not have a comprehensive understanding of how GLI bound enhancers respond Hedgehog signaling. The goal of this study is to identify how GLI bound enhancers are regulated by Hedgehog signaling and specifically by GLI-repressor. Methods: ChIP-seq was performed in Embryonic day 10.5 mouse limb buds from mice with endogenously FLAG tagged Gli3. Results: We identified 7282 GLI3 binding regions in the E10.5 limb bud.
Project description:To investigate the heart development, the data were generated to examine the genome-wide Gli3 binding in SHF disected from Mouse Embryos. Gli3 ChIP-Seq was compared to the input in SHF from mouse embryonic cells at E9.5.
Project description:To study the effect of GLI3 knockout on early brain organoid development, we collected single-cell multiome data from 18 day old brain organoids
Project description:We used Affymetrix microarrays to understand the genome wide differences in Wildtype and Gli3 mutant (Gli3+/- and Gli3-/-) (n=2) embryonic day 18.5 DP CD69-, DP CD69+ and SP4 thymocytes.
