Project description:We determined and analyzed the effect of TTF-1/NKX2-1 on Smad3/Smad4 binding sites by ChIP-sequencing. We used expression microarrays to evaluate the effect of TTF-1/NKX2-1 siRNA on TGF-beta-induced gene expressions. H441 cells were transfected with siRNAs and treated with TGF-beta for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. This submission represents transcriptome component of study.

Project description:We evaluated the role of TTF-1/NKX2-1 on Smad3 and Smad4 binding in lung cancer cell lines. Smad3 binding sites in A549 cells and Smad3, Smad4, and TTF-1/NKX2-1 binding sites in H441 cells were determined by ChIP-seq.
Project description:The long noncoding RNA NKX2-1-AS1 is highly expressed in primary lung adenocarcinomas compared to squamous carcinomas, similar to its adjacent protein-coding gene NKX2-1, but its contribution to lung tumorigenesis is not well understood. In this study we knockdown NKX2-1-AS1 by siRNA transfection and analyze the effect on gene expression in the lung carcinoma H441 cell line.
Project description:Although Thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1, encoded by NKX2-1 gene) is highly expressed in small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), difference in the functional roles of TTF-1 between SCLC and LADC remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study was to clarify the differences in the TTF-1 binding regions and functional roles in SCLC and LADC. Employing chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) , here we compared the genome-wide TTF-1-binding profiles and the TTF-1-mediated transcriptional programs in a SCLC and a LADC cell lines. We also investigated ASCL1 binding regions in SCLC cells. To validate whether the changes in TTF-1 or ASCL1 binding to the genome indeed resulted in changes in target gene expression, we performed RNA-seq transcriptome analyses in H209 cells with TTF-1 or ASCL1 knockdown. Data were also obtained from H441 cells transfected with TTF-1 siRNAs.
Project description:TTF-1/NKX2-1 was expressed by adenoviral vector and changes in gene expression were determined by RNA-sequencing. A549 cells were infected with Ad-TTF-1 or Ad-LacZ vectors and stimulated with TGF-beta for 24 hours or left untreated. Expression of polyA RNA was determined.
Project description:Cell migration driven by actomyosin filament assembly is a critical step in tumour invasion and metastasis. Herein, we report identification of myosin binding protein H (MYBPH) as a transcriptional target of NKX2-1 (also known as TTF-1 and TITF1), a lineage-survival oncogene in lung adenocarcinoma. MYBPH inhibits assembly competence-conferring phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) as well as activating phosphorylation of LIM domain kinase (LIMK). These are unexpectedly implemented through direct physical interaction of MYBPH with Rho kinase 1 (ROCK1) rather than with RLC. In addition, MYBPH is shown to directly bind with non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMHC IIA), resulting in inhibition of NMHC IIA assembly. Thus, MYBPH plays multi-facetted roles in negative regulation of actomyosin organization, which in turn reduces cell motility, invasion, and metastasis. Finally, we also show that MYBPH is epigenetically inactivated by promoter DNA methylation in a fraction of lung adenocarcinomas abundantly expressing NKX2-1, which appears to be in accordance with its deleterious function for lung adenocarcinoma invasion and metastasis, as well as with the paradoxical association of NKX2-1 expression with favourable prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Dye-swap experiment, vector control vs. transiently transfectanted with TTF-1 in HPL1D, immortalized human peripheral lung epithelial cell line.
Project description:Hsa-mir-365-2 is one of the two precursors that give rise to miR-365. We discovered that miR-365 directly regulates a lung cancer and developmental gene termed thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1 or NKX2-1). Hsa-mir-365-2 was transfected into NCI-H441 cells via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer. Arrays hybridized: Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Array.

Hsa-mir-365-2 was transfected into NCI-H441 cells via retrovirus-mediated gene transfer. Arrays hybridized: Affymetrix GeneChip Human Gene 1.0 ST Array. A total of 4 samples were analyzed. The first two were H441 cells expressing hsa-mir-365-2 and the other two were H441 transfected with empty vector. The class comparison function (significant cutoff, 0.001) of BRB Array Tool (4.1.0 beta_3 release) was used to analyze for differentially expressed genes as a result of enforced expression of hsa-mir-365-2.
Project description:To investigate the roles of TAZ in lung cancer cell proliferation, we compared the expression profiles of A549 and H441 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines transfected with control siRNA and siTAZ. We collected RNA from A549 and H441 cell lines transfected with control siRNA and siTAZ.
