Project description:Development of gene expression signatures for partial downreualtion of ARID1A protein. ARID1A was down-regulated by si-RNA in a breast cancer cell, MDA-MB-157. Subsequently, RNAs was extracted from control siRNA treated cells or partially ARID1A-down regulated cells. cDNAs were synthesized and cRNAs were labeled using low input quick Amp labeling kit (Agilent). Aftere washing and dry, scanned by Agilent Technologies Micorarrray Scanner and calculated using Agilent Feature 10.7.3.1. control siRNA treated MDA-MB-157 breast cancer cells (MOK) and siRNA-midiated ARID1A-downregulated MDA-MB157 breast cancer cells.
Project description:Arid1a is the subunit of SWI/SNF complex, which was reported to guide SWI/SNF to DNA. Here, we found that loss of Arid1a in the liver results in improved liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.Genome-wide analysis showed that after hepatectomy,loss of Arid1a reduces the recruitment and activity of E2F4 on target promoters, resulting in expression programs that favor regeneration during injury.RNAseq shows transcriptional profiling in WT and Arid1a LKO livers pre- and post-hepatectomy, which confirmed the E2F4 target genes and cell cycle genes were upregulated after hepatectomy. After partial hepatectomy, liver transcriptional profiling in WT and Arid1a liver specific KO mice were generated by RNA-seq analysis.

Correspondingly, these promoters showed increased H3k4me2 and H3k27ac marks, indicating de-repression of these E2f target genes. The post partial hepatectomy mice liver cells were fixed and isolated, analysis of genomic occupancy of E2f4,H3K4me2,H3K27ac in hepatocytes from Arid1a WT and Arid1a liver specific KO mice by ChIP-seq.
Project description:Mutations in ARID1A, a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex, are the most common somatic alteration of the SWI/SNF complex across all cancers including oestrogen receptor positive (ER)+ breast cancer. We have recently reported that ARID1A inactivating mutations are present at a high frequency in advanced endocrine resistant ER+ breast cancer. In parallel, to identify mechanisms of resistance to endocrine therapy in breast cancer, we performed an epigenome CRISPR/CAS9 knockout screen that identified ARID1A as the top candidate whose loss determines resistance to the ER degrader fulvestrant. ARID1A knockout cells were found to be less responsive to endocrine therapy compared to intact ARID1A cells in vitro and in vivo. This set of observations in patients’ tumours and in unbiased CRISPR screens led us to explore the epigenetic mechanisms whereby loss of ARID1A may influence breast cancer progression and/or endocrine therapy resistance. ARID1A disruption in ER+ breast cancer cells led to widespread changes in chromatin accessibility converging on loss of the master transcription factors (TFs) that regulate gene expression programs critical for luminal lineage identity. Global transcriptome profiling of ARID1A knockout cell lines and patient samples harbouring ARID1A inactivating mutations revealed an enrichment for basal-like gene expression signatures. The state of increased cellular plasticity of luminal cells that acquire a basal-like phenotype upon ARID1A inactivation is enabled by loss of ARID1A-dependent SWI/SNF complex targeting to genomic sites of the major luminal-lineage determining transcription factors including ER, FOXA1, and GATA3. We also show that ARID1A regulates genome-wide ER-chromatin interactions and ER-dependent transcription. Altogether, we uncover a critical role for ARID1A in the determination of breast luminal cell identity and endocrine therapeutic response in ER+ breast cancer.
