Project description:We performed ChIP-seq targeting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the U2OS-GR cell line. The cell line is derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for rat GR. The cells were treated with 100 nM dexamethasone for 4 hours, washed 2x with PBS and cultured in hormone-free medium for 24 hours before harvest.
Project description:We performed ChIP-seq targeting the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the U2OS-GR cell line and the androgen receptor (AR) in the U2OS-AR cell line. The cell lines are derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for either rat GR or human AR, respectively. The U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) for 90 minutes. The U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) for 4 hours.
Project description:We performed ATAC-seq in the U2OS-GR cell line. The cell line is derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for rat GR. Cells were treated with dexamethasone (100 nM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 4 hours and either harvested immediately or washed 2x with PBS and subsequently cultured in hormone-free medium for 24 hours before harvest.
Project description:Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a hormone-activated, DNA-binding transcriptional regulatory factor, which regulates diverse aspects of physiology. GR recognizes specifically imperfect palindromic six base pair “half sites separated by thoursee base pair “spacers”, binding as an inverted dimer. In vivo, different GR target genes depend on different functional surfaces of GR for proper regulation, but rules dictating the relationship between sequence and utilization of distinct GR functional surfaces remain unknown.In this study, we measured changes in gene expression and genomic occupancy upon glucocorticoid treatment of isogenic cultured human cell lines expressing alleles of GR bearing differences in particular functional surfaces.
Project description:To identify the sequences responsible for recruitment of Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to individual loci, we performed ChIP-seq and ChIP-exo that combines chromatin immunoprecipitation with an exonuclease digestion step. We performed these experiments in three cell lines : IMR90 (ATTC:CCL-186), U2OS osteosarcoma cell lines, K562 (ATCC:CCL243), upon glucocorticoid treatment. The U2OS assays are the same as those in E-MTAB-2731.
Project description:Glucocorticoid (GC) response elements (GREs) are genomic segments that confer GC-regulated transcription by recruiting hormone-bound glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and nucleating assembly of transcriptional regulatory complexes (TRCs). The locations of GR binding, the functionality of those GR occupied regions (GORs) as GREs, and the molecular features and spatial organization that characterize active GREs are gene-, cell- and physiological-context specific, and poorly understood. Moreover, identification of the gene(s) targeted for regulation by a given GRE has been inferred by proximity, or examined outside the normal chromosomal context, rather than rigorously validated. We approached these issues in two human cell lines with distinct tissue origins, treated or not with a hormonal ligand that activates GR.
Project description:To quantify functional enhancers, we performed STARR-seq (Self-Transcribing Active Regulatory Region sequencing) in the U2OS-GR and the U2OS-AR cell lines (derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96, stably transfected with an expression construct for rat GR or human AR, respectively). U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 14 hours. U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 14 hours. To limit the number of putative enhancers, the STARR library contained genomic regions isolated by FAIRE (Formaldehyde Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) from dexamethasone-treated U2OS-GR cells to include regions that gain accessibility upon GR activation. We added unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) during the reverse transcription stage to facilitate quantitative measurements of enhancer activity for each fragment. The UMI for each read is present within the sequence identifier line (directly following the y coordinate and separated by a ':') of the fastq files.
Project description:To determine whether insertion of a single amino acid had an effect on Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) occupancy, we performed ChIP-seq of GRalpha and GRgamma in the same U2OS osteosarcoma cell lines, upon glucocorticoid treatment. These assays are also part of submission E-MTAB-2955
