Project description:Expression profiles in decidualized and non-decidualized endometriotic cyst stromal cells (ECSCs) and normal endometrial stromal cells (NESCs)
Project description:Identification of cellular proteins in human endometrial stromal fibroblasts decidualized for 13 days in vitro. Fibroblasts were cultured under normal culture conditions (5% CO2 in 2% charcoal stripped FBS) and treated with prednisolone (0.5ug/ml) or vehicle control (DMSO) every 48-72h for 13 days
Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.
