Project description:PRCC-TFE3 is an oncogenic chimeric transcription factor identified in human TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma. To analyze gene expression changes driven by PRCC-TFE3, we generated and utilized an HA-tagged PRCC-TFE3-inducible HEK293 cell line, which expresses HA-tagged PRCC-TFE3 in a doxycycline-dependent manner. Cells were cultured with or without doxycycline, and comprehensive gene expression analysis was conducted using Affymetrix arrays .
Project description:PRCC-TFE3 is an oncogenic chimeric transcription factor derived from human TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma. To analyze its genome-wide occupancy, we developed HA-tagged PRCC-TFE3-inducible HK-2 cell lines, which expresses HA-tagged TFE3 in a doxycycline-dependent manner. We determined the binding regions of HA-PRCC-TFE3 by ChIPSeq.

Project description:PRCC-TFE3 is an oncogenic chimeric transcription factor identified in human TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma. To investigate the function of PRCC-TFE3 in vivo, we generated PRCC-TFE3 knock-in (KI) mice by inserting a loxP-STOP-loxP-PRCC-TFE3 cassette into the Rosa26 locus. When PRCC-TFE3 KI mice were crossed with Cadherin 16-Cre transgenic mice (KSP-Cre), the resulting mice developed TFE3-RCC in the kidney. Our findings revealed that hypoxia-inducible factors HIF1α and HIF2α are directly upregulated by PRCC-TFE3. To clarify the roles of HIF1α and HIF2α in TFE3-RCC development, we further crossed PRCC-TFE3 KI mice with HIF1α flox and/or HIF2α flox mice.
Project description:TFE3 is a bHLH-ZIP transcription factor, which nuclear localization is regulated by a tumor suppressor FLCN. In order to analyze TFE3 occupancy in whole genome, we have generated and utilized a HK-2 HA-TFE3-inducible cell line which express HA-tagged TFE3 in a doxycycline-dependent manner. HA-TFE3 bound regions were determined by ChIPSeq.
Project description:TFE3-rearranged Renal Cell Carcinoma (TFE3-RCC) is an aggressive RCC subtype characterized by Xp11.2 rearrangements, resulting in TFE3 fusion proteins with oncogenic potential. To investigate the role of ARID2, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, in TFE3-RCC, we knocked out the ARID2 gene in a TFE3-RCC cell line, UOK124, which is derived from human TFE3-RCC with the PRCC-TFE3 fusion gene. UOK124 parental cells (UOK124-WT) and UOK124-ARID2_KO cells were cultured, and comprehensive gene expression analysis was performed using RNA-seq.
Project description:Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) is caused by a mutant LMNA called progerin. To determine the mechanism of STXBP5 on progerin, we over expressed STXBP5 or knocked down STXBP5 in HA-progerin HEK293 cells, then analyzed the effect on the expression of coding genes. In this study, we identified STXBP5 as an influencing factor for HA-progerin HEK293 cells. Lowering the expression of STXBP5 may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating age-related phenotypes in HGPS.
