Project description:Satb1 and Satb2 are regulators of higher order chromatin in T cells and osteoblasts repectively. We were interested if Satb1 and Satb2 play a role in the regulation of gene expression in ES cells. This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE17487: Expression data in WT and Satb1-/- ES cells GSE17488: Expression data in WT and ES cells overexpressing Satb1 GSE17489: Expression data in WT and ES cells overexpressing Satb2 Refer to individual Series
Project description:Satb1 and Satb2 are regulators of higher order chromatin in T cells and osteoblasts repectively. We were interested if Satb1 and Satb2 play a role in the regulation of gene expression in ES cells. In this experiment, we compared the transcriptome of wild type and Satb1-/- ES cells. Interestingly Satb1-/- ES cells display an impaired differentiation potential. WT and Satb1-/- ES cells were grown for 3 days in the presence of LIF and selected for Oct4-expression cells by the addition of hygromycin to the culture medium. Previously the cells had been engineered so that they contain a selectable HygroTK reporter in the the Oct4 locus. Total RNA was harvested and used for hybridization.
