Project description:The stem cell gene LIN28B was recently shown to be overexpressed in a foetal-like subgroup of juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia. Given the involvement of LIN28B in a variety of solid paediatric cancers, we conducted a meta-analysis of LIN28B levels using publicly available gene expression data of 1361 paediatric leukaemia samples. Interestingly, this analysis revealed LIN28B overexpression in 102 childhood leukaemia patients (7.5%), suggesting oncogenic activity for LIN28B in the context of paediatric haematological diseases. As the mode of action of LIN28B during normal and malignant haematopoiesis remains largely unexplored, we subsequently analysed the transcriptional consequences of LIN28B modulation on normal and malignant haematopoietic cells and identified the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 as the first LIN28B-regulated lncRNA. Oci-AML3 cells were retrovirally transduced with MSCV-PIG-LIN28B and MSCV-PIG-empty vectors (gifts from Johua Mendel lab), selected with puromycin and hybridized on Agilent microarray.

K562 cells were retrovirally transduced with shRNA GN36578 against LIN28B and a shRNA-miR non-targeting control TRH1103 (both Transomic), selected with puromycin and hybridized on Agilent microarray.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human OCI-AML3 cells stably expressing inducibly Atg5 shRNA or NPM1-shRNA Goal was to determine the effects of knockdown of Atg5 or NPM1 on global ES gene expression of human Leukemia OCI-AML3 cells.

Project description:OCI-AML3, a human acute myeloid leukemia cell line, was inoculated into NOD/SCID/IL-2rγnull (NSG) mice. After engraftment and leukemic expansion were documented, mice were divided into 3 groups: control, or treatment for 24 or 72 hours with daily injections of LY2510294, a CXCR4-inhibitory peptide. OCI-AML3 cells were isolated from peripheral blood (PB), bone marrow (BM), or spleen (SP) for gene expression profiling (GEP).
Project description:To investigate the GLUT3 salvage-induced transcriptome changes, we performed RNA-seq on the SLC2A3 overexpressed and the empty control OCI-AML3 cell lines treated with 250 µM of vitamin C.
Project description:OCI-AML3 Acute myeloid leukemia cell line was used for ChIP-sequencing profiling of H3K4me3, H3K4me1, H3K9ac and H3K27ac histone post-translational modifications to identify active promoter and enhancer regions.
