Project description:The expansion of hepatic stem/progenitor cells requires Ring1B-mediated epigenetic silencing of Cdkn1a and Cdkn2a, demonstrating that Ring1B simultaneously regulates multiple CDKI in tissue stem/progenitor cells. Comparison of gene expression profiles between Ring1B KO and WT murine liver cells at E13.5
Project description:These data include RNA Seq data generated from Ring1b wild type and Ring1b KO Ring1a-/- Cdkn2a-/- Lin- HSC cells non-transduced or transduced with MLL-AF9, HOXA9 and PML-RARa. Total RNA extracted from Ring1b wild type and Ring1b KO Ring1a-/- Cdkn2a-/- Lin- HSC cells non-transduced or transduced with MLL-AF9, HOXA9 and PML-RARa.
Project description:These data include RNA Seq data generated from wild type and Ring1a Ring1b dKO Villi from Rosa26-CreERT2 Cdkn2a-/- and Rosa26-CreERT2 Cdkn2a-/- Ring1a-/- Ring1bf/f mice. Total RNA extracted from wild type and Ring1a Ring1b dKO Villi.

Project description:Increased expression of Kruppel like factor 7 (KLF7) is an independent predictor of poor outcome in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The contribution of KLF7 to hematopoiesis has not been previously described. Herein, we characterized the effect on murine hematopoiesis of the loss of KLF7 and enforced expression of KLF7. Long-term multilineage engraftment of Klf7-/- cells was comparable to control cells, and self-renewal, as assessed by serial transplantation, was not affected. Enforced expression of KLF7 results in a marked suppression of myeloid progenitor cell growth and a loss of short- and long-term repopulating activity. Interestingly, enforced expression of KLF7, while resulting in multi-lineage growth suppression that extended to hematopoietic stem cells and common lymphoid progenitors, spared T cells and enhanced the survival of early thymocytes. RNA expression profiling of KLF7-overexpressing hematopoietic progenitors identified several potential target genes mediating these effects. Notably, the known KLF7 target Cdkn1a (p21Cip1/Waf1) was not induced by KLF7, and loss of CDKN1A does not rescue the repopulating defect. These results suggest that KLF7 is not required for normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor (HSPC) function, but increased expression, as seen in a subset of lymphoid leukemia, inhibits myeloid cell proliferation and promotes early thymocyte survival. HSC expression array: Lin- c-Kit+ Sca-1+ CD150+ CD48- CD41- cells were sorted from wild-type C57Bl/6 mice and RNA expression analyzed. RNA expression in KLS SLAM cells. KLS-SLAM cells were sorted from 6-10 week old C57Bl/6 mice

KLF7 overexpression in HSPCs expression array: Lin- c-Kit+ Sca-1+ cells transduced with a KLF7 expressing or control (empty vector) lentivirus. Expression profiles of KLF7 overexpressing vs controls HSPCs. Cells were harvested 72 hrs post-transduction to compare expression profiles of control vs KLF7 overexpressing HSPCs

KLF7 KO vs WT HSPC expression array: KLS (lineage- c-Kit+ Sca-1+) cells were sorted from the bone marrow of Klf7-/- chimeras at 12 weeks post-transplant. Fetal liver cells were used to establish chimeric mice (C57Bl/6 background) containing a mixture of Klf7+/+ and Klf7-/- bone marrow cells.
