Project description:ChIP-seq assay was performed with anti-p45 antibody using in vitro cultured primary megakaryocytes to identify direct p45 target genes in megakaryocytes. This analysis revealed genes that regulate platelet function, which were not known previously to be p45-regulated.
Project description:ChIP-seq assay was performed with anti-p45 antibody using in vitro cultured primary megakaryocytes to identify direct p45 target genes in megakaryocytes. This analysis revealed genes that regulate platelet function, which were not known previously to be p45-regulated. ChIP was performed using a day-3 primary culture of megakaryocytes from E13.5 fetal livers of wild-type mice with an anti-p45 antibody.
Project description:Whole livers were collected from mouse fetuses at embryonic day 13.5 (E13.5), and single-cell suspensions were prepared by successive passage through 25-gauge needles. Fetal liver cells were maintained in RPMI1640 (Wako, Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 20% charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100µg/ml streptomycin, and 50ng/ml recombinant human thrombopoietin (TPO) (generously provided by Kyowa Hakko Kirin Co. Ltd.). Megakaryocytes were harvested for RNA purification from a day-3 culture. CD41+ cells were enriched using biotinylated anti-CD41 antibody (Serotec; clone MWReg30) and streptavidin-coupled Dynabeads (Dynal Biotech ASA) from a culture of E13.5 fetal liver cells of WT and p45–/– mice. Total RNA was purified from the sorted CD41+ cells. Gene expression was measured in primary megakaryocytes cultured from p45-/- fetal livers and wild type fetal livers at E13.5. Three independent experiments were performed.
Project description:To understand the mechanisms through which JunB regulates Tregs-mediated immune regulation, we examined the global gene expression profiles in the JunB WT and KO Tregs by performing RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis.
Project description:To identify p45 target genes, we conducted gene expression profiling with p45-null megakaryocytes cultured from E14.5 fetal liver. Many genes encoding membrane proteins and enzymes related to platelet function, including Txas, Glycoprotein 6 (Gp6) and Selectin P (Selp), were repressed in the absence of p45. Considering the similar DNA binding specificity of p45 and Nrf2 in vitro, we expected p45 to activate cytoprotective genes that are established Nrf2 targets. However, the expression of numerous detoxifying enzymes and stress-responsive genes, including NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (Nqo1), were increased in the absence of p45.
