Project description:The transcription factor Sox2 inhibits human gastric cancer growth and activates Sox2-related tumor surpressive genes in human gastric cancer cells. Conditional Sox2-overexpression in cells with a low Sox2 level demonstrated that the Sox2-regulated tumor surpressive genes demand on an enhanced Sox2 activity for better expression to work in human gastric cancer. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) of Sox2 together with chromatin profiling by ChIP-on-chip analysis demonstrated that Sox2 directly activates the chromatin at promoters or putative enhancers of Sox2 target genes.

Project description:Purpose: Sox2 expression marks gastric stem and progenitor cells, raising important questions regarding the genes regulated by Sox2 and the role of Sox2 itself during stomach homeostasis and disease. The goal of this study is to determine the function of and the genes regulated by Sox2 in the stomach. Methods: Sox2 ChIP-enriched DNA and input DNA was isolated from gastric glands of adult antrum from Sox2 KO and Sox2 WT mice. DNA was purified and genomic libraries were prepared as described (Sulahian et al., 2014), using four micrograms of goat anti-SOX2 (AF2018, R&D). Libraries were sequenced (50 bp, single-end reads) on an Illumina Hi-Seq 2000 instrument. Results: Sox2 is dispensiable for gastric stem cell self-renewal and epithelial homeostasis, however modulates the expression of wnt, intestinal and cancer related genes Examination of Sox2 targets in the stomachs of Sox2 WT and Sox2 KO mice.
