Project description:Analysis of mammary glands from tet-inducible(rtTA) transgenic mice expressing cyclin D1 using Affymetrix Mouse Gene 1.0 ST GeneChip arrays. MMTV-rtTA transgenic mice (MMTV-Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus promoter) were cross-mated to cyclin D1 transgenic mice under control of tet operon. 8-week-old tetracycline-inducible cyclin D1/rtTA bi-transgenic pregnant female mice (12 days postcoitus) were treated with doxycycline through drinking water supplementation at a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. Control mice were rtTA transgenics alone and treated in the same manner. After 7 days of doxycycline treatment, the mice were sacrificed and mammary glands taken for RNA isolation. Results provide insight into the in vivo gene expression pattern regulated by cyclin D1 through acute induction. Analysis of mammary glands from MMTV-cyclin D1/WT and MMTV-cyclin D1/KE using Affymetrix Mouse 430A v2.0 GeneChip arrays. Cyclin D1 point mutant, cyclin D1/KE K112E (K112E) contains a lysine to glutamine substitution at amino acid position 112. cyclin D1. The cyclin D1/KE mutant fails to induce cyclin D1-dependent kinase activity. Female MFD1, MFD1-KE, and WT mice were monitored twice weekly, up to 760 days, for the development of palpable tumors. Those developing palpable tumors were sacrificed within a week of tumor detection. Tumors were dissected and portions snap frozen for RNA isolation. Results provide insight into the in vivo gene expression pattern regulated by cyclin D1 that is kinase independent.

Results provide insight into the in vivo gene expression pattern regulated by cyclin D1 that is kinase independent. Two separate control mice were positive for MMTV-rtTA transgene compared to 3 separate cyclin D1/rtTA bitransgenic female mice and 3 separate cyclin D1 KE mutant/rtTA bitransgenic female mice (Mouse Gene 1.0 ST arrays). Three separate control WT FvBmice were compared to three MMTV-cyclin D1/WT and 3 MMTV-cyclin D1/KE mice (Mouse 430A v2.0 arrays).

Project description:We examined the transcriptional function of cyclin D1 in mouse development using two approaches. First, we queried association of cyclin D1 with the genome of E14.5 mouse embryos using ChIP-on-chip approach. We observed binding of cyclin D1 to several promoter regions. Second, we compared gene expression profiles between wild-type and cyclin D1-null retinas. We observed several transcripts with altered levels in cyclin D1-null organs. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
Project description:Cyclin D1 belongs to the core cell cycle machinery1, and it is frequently overexpressed in human cancers2. The full repertoire of cyclin D1 functions in normal development and in cancer cells is currently unknown. To address this question, here we introduce a novel approach that allows one to determine the set of cyclin D1-interacting proteins (D1 “interactome”) and cyclin D1-bound genomic fragments (D1 “cistrome”) in essentially any mouse organ, at any point of development or at any stage of cancer progression. Using this approach, we detected several novel tissue-specific interactors of cyclin D1. A significant number of these partners represent proteins involved in transcription. We show, using genome-wide location analysis3, that cyclin D1 occupies promoters of a very large number of genes in the developing mouse, where it binds in close proximity to transcription start sites. Bioinformatics analyses of cyclin D1-bound genomic segments in the developing embryo revealed DNA recognition sequences for several transcription factors. By querying SAGE libraries4, promoter CpG content5 and gene expression profiles of cyclin D1-null organs, we demonstrate that cyclin D1 binds promoters of highly expressed genes, and that it functions to activate or to repress gene expression in vivo. Analyses of cyclin D1 transcriptional targets reveal that cyclin D1 contributes to cell proliferation by upregulating genes required for S-phase entry and progression. Hence, cyclin D1 plays a broad transcriptional regulatory function in vivo during normal mouse development.
