Project description:This experiment is part of a larger study examining the anti-tumour properties of interferon epsilon in ovarian cancer. The objective of this experiment was to examine the direct activity of interferon epsilon on the mouse ovarian cancer cell line, ID8, and compare it to equivalent unit concentrations of interferon beta. The goal was to determine whether interferon epsilon and interferon beta induce different patterns of gene expression in ID8 cells.

Project description:This experiment is part of a larger study examining the anti-tumour properties of interferon epsilon in ovarian cancer. The goal of this experiment was to test the direct effects of interferon epsilon and interferon beta on human ovarian tumours in vivo, using patient derived xenografts (PDX) in immunocompromised (NSG) mice.

Project description:The female reproductive tract (FRT) is vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections and therefore a well-tuned immune surveillance system is crucial for maintaining a healthy FRT. However, our understanding of the factors that impact viral infection of the FRT and the host response are not well understood. In this work, we investigate the role of a hormonally regulated type I interferon, IFN epsilon, in control of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection of the FRT. We demonstrate that IFN epsilon has anti-ZIKV properties using a combination of IFN epsilon KO mice, blockade of endogenous IFN epsilon by neutralising Abs and rescue of IFN epsilon KO mice by recombinant IFN epsilon administered directly to the FRT.

Project description:This experiment is part of a larger study examining the anti-tumour properties of interferon epsilon in ovarian cancer. The goal of this experiment was to assess whether interferon signalling had been ablated in Ifnar1 CRISPR knockout (KO) ID8 cell lines, so that they could be used for in vivo models of ovarian cancer.

Project description:Human embryonic stem cells provide an alternative to using human embryos for studying developmentally regulated gene expression. The co-expression of high levels of embryonic epsilon and fetal gamma globin by the hESC-derived erythroblasts allows the interrogation of epsilon globin regulation at the transcriptional and epigenetic level which could only be attained previously by studying cell lines or transgenic mice. In this study, we compared the histone modifications across the beta globin locus of the undifferentiated hESCs and hESC-, FL-, and mobilized PB CD34+ cells-derived erythroblasts, which have distinct globin expression patterns corresponding to their developmental stages. We demonstrated that the histone codes employed by the beta globin locus are conserved throughout development. Furthermore, in spite of the close proximity of the epsilon globin promoter, as compared to the gamma or beta globin promoter, with the LCR, a chromatin loop was also formed between the LCR and the active epsilon globin promoter, similar to the loop that forms between the gamma or beta globin promoters and the LCR, in contrary to the previously proposed tracking mechanism. Human embryonic stem cells, hESC-, FL-, and PB derived erythroblasts were studied. The enrichment of H3K4me3 and AcH3 acrossed the beta globin locus was studied using ChIP-seq.

Project description:Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been widely used as a model system for studying genome instability. Here, a heterozygous diploid S. cerevisiae strain DZP2 was generated to determine the genomic alterations induced by DNA polymerase ε. The expression of POL2 was regulated by the GAL1 promoter. In combination of a custom SNP microarray, the patterns of chromosomal instability induced by low Pol ε could be explored at a whole genome level in DZP2. Using this system, we found hundreds-fold higher rate of genomic alterations, including aneuploidy, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and chromosomal rearrangement. DNA polymerase ε (Pol ε) is one of the three replicative eukaryotic DNA polymerases. Pol ε deficiency leads to genomic instability and multiple human diseases. Here, we explored global genomic alterations in yeast strains with reduced expression of POL2, the gene that encodes the catalytic subunit of Pol ε. Using whole-genome SNP microarray and sequencing, we found that low levels of Pol ε elevated the rates of mitotic recombination and chromosomal aneuploidy by two orders of magnitude. Strikingly, low levels of Pol ε resulted in a contraction of the number of repeats in the rDNA cluster and reduced the length of telomeres. These short telomeres led to an elevated frequency of break-induced replication, resulting in terminal loss of heterozygosity. In addition, low levels of Pol ε increased the rate of single-base mutations by 13-fold by a Pol ζ-dependent pathway. Finally, the patterns of genomic alterations caused by low levels of Pol ε were different from those observed in strains with low levels of the other replicative DNA polymerases Pol α and Pol δ, providing further insights into the different roles of the B-family DNA polymerases in maintaining genomic stability.

Project description:Virus infection induces the production of type I and type II interferons (IFN-I and IFN-II), cytokines that mediate the antiviral response. IFN-I (IFN-a and -b) induces the assembly of ISGF3 (interferon-stimulated gene factor 3), a multimeric transcriptional activation complex comprised of STAT1, STAT2 and IRF9. IFN-II (IFN-g) induces the homodimerization of STAT1 to form the GAF (gamma-activated factor) complex. ISGF3 and GAF bind specifically to distinct regulatory DNA sequences located upstream of IFN-I and II inducible genes, respectively, and activate the expression of distinct set of antiviral genes. The balance between the type I and type II IFN pathways plays a critical role in orchestrating the innate and adaptive immune systems. Here, we show that the phosphorylation of STAT1 by IKKε (IkB-related kinase epsilon) inhibits STAT1 homodimerization, and thus GAF formation, but does not disrupt ISGF3 formation. Therefore, virus and/or IFN-I activation of IKKε suppresses GAF-dependent transcription and promotes ISGF3-dependent transcription. In the absence of IKKε, GAF-dependent transcription is enhanced at the expense of ISGF3-mediated transcription, rendering cells less resistant to infection. We conclude that IKKε plays a critical role in regulating the balance between the IFN-I and IFN-II signaling pathways. ChIP-seq libraries were constructed with an antibody targeting STAT1 from bone marrow macrophages treated with interferon
