Project description:BCLAF1 is a serine-arginine (SR) protein implicated in transcriptional regulation and mRNA splicing. We have recently identified BCLAF1 as part of a novel mRNA splicing complex that is recruited to different genetic promoters by the breast cancer susceptiblity protein, BRCA1 in response to DNA damage. This ChIP-chip study was designed to identify genes/promoters regulated by the BRCA1/BCLAG1 mRNA splicing complex by identifying promoters bound by BCLAF1 in the absense and presense of BRCA1 in control cells and cells treated with etoposide to induce DNA damage. This study includes tripicate BCLAF1 ChIP-chip experiments in untreated and etoposide treated (1uM 16 hours) control cells (siGFP) and cells depleted of BRCA1 (siBRCA1). Chromatin Immunoprecipitaitons were performed in triplicate with BCLAF1 antibodies in control 293T cells transfected with siGFP siRNAs and BRCA1 siRNAs (siBRCA1 to deplete BRCA1). Immunoprecipitated genomic DNA was labelled with Cy3 and Input genomic DNA was labelled with Cy5 and hybridized to NimbleGen human 3x720k RefSeq promoter arrays to identify BCLAF1 boundgenomic DNA regions.

Project description:Analysis of HeLa cells following depletion of BRCA1 tumor supressor using RNAi against BRCA1. Results provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying loss of the BRCA1 function. Six samples (three control samples and three BRCA1 depleted samples) have been analysed. For the control, the samples derived from the HeLa cells treated with RNAi against GFP were used.
Project description:DAZAP1 was depleted in culterd HEK 293T cells using shRNA and the resulting poly A RNA were isolated c-DNA library constructed and paired end sequenced on illumina Hi-seq 2000 platform the data was compared to a control shRNA depleted cell
Project description:Bcl-2-accociated transcription factor 1(BCLAF1) has been reported to be involved in diverse biological processes. Alternative splicing leads to mutiple transcript virants in human cells and we are interested in functions of its full length isoform(BCLAF1-L) in human colon cancer cells, thus to understanding its role in colon cancer progression. We used microarray to detail the global programme of gene expression after BCLAF1-L knockdown(sh-BCLAF1-L#1) in RKO cells and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes impaired by its inhibition, when comparing with the control group(sh-Luci). RKO cells were infected with retroviruses either expressing control (sh-Luci) or BCLAF1-L knockdown (sh-BCLAF1-L#1). Medium was replaced 24h after infection, and infected cells were selected by the addition of puromycin (2ug/ml) for 72-96h. Then cells were havested for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Loss of function of the tumor suppressor BRCA1 (Breast Cancer 1) protein is responsible for numerous familial and sporadic breast cancers. We previously identified PABP1 as a novel BRCA1 partner and showed that BRCA1 modulates translation through its interaction with PABP1. We showed that the global translation was diminished in BRCA1-depleted cells and increased in BRCA1-overexpressing cells. Our findings raised the question whether BRCA1 affects translation of all cytoplasmic cellular mRNAs or whether it specifically targets a subset of mRNAs. In the present study, we investigated which mRNAs are regulated by BRCA1 using a microarray analysis of polysome-associated RNAs from BRCA1-depleted MCF7 cells, a human breast cancer cell line. We isolated mRNAs from the high-molecular-weight polysomes (fractions 12 to 18) and total cellular cytoplasmic mRNAs from the cytoplasmic fraction of MCF7 cells transiently expressing either siRNA directed against BRCA1 or control siRNA. Since we were interested in identifying the mRNAs that were translationally regulated by BRCA1, we determined the relative translatability of each mRNA. The relative translatability of an mRNA was determined by normalizing the change in abundance in polysomal mRNA to the change in abundance in total cytoplasmic mRNA for each mRNA.
Project description:To study the senescence gene signatures in the cells, which were genetic SMARCB1 depleted or treated with aurora kinase inhibitors or etoposide, we performed next generation RNA sequencing on these cell, and 'FRIDMAN_SENESCENCE_UP' geneset was used to determine the enrichment of senescence-related genes. The RNA sequencing results include (1) A375 cells and SMARCB1 depleted counterparts. (2) A549 cells and aurora kinase inhibitor (Alisertib, barasertib or tozasertib) or etoposide treated counterparts.
