Project description:We have found that Cdx1 can promote ectopic gene expression in thymic epithelial cells. We isolated MHCIIhi CD80hi medullary thymic epithelial cells from Cdx1-/- and Cdx1+/+ and compare gene expression between the two subsets, also in the context of Cdx1-mediated changes in intestinal epithelial cells.
Project description:To identify the transcriptional targets of CDX1 underlying the metaplastic change, we explored genes affected by ectopic expression of CDX1 in gastric epithelial cells by combining expression microarray and ChIP-chip analyses.
