Project description:The impact of drugs inhibiting DNA methylation (5-aza-2'-deoxycytodine, DAC) and EZH2 (EPZ-6438) on the neuroblastoma transcriptome was analyzed in two neuroblastoma cell lines. Parallel analyses investigated associated changes in histone modification and DNA methylation. The neuroblastoma cell lines Be(2)-C and IMR5-75 were treated with DAC and EPZ-6438 in combination or alone. Controls were treated with solvent (DMSO). RNA was isolated and sequenced.
Project description:The impact of drugs inhibiting DNA methylation (5-aza-2'-deoxycytodine, DAC) and EZH2 (EPZ-6438) on the neuroblastoma methylome was analyzed in two neuroblastoma cell lines. Parallel analyses investigated associated changes in histone modification and RNA expression. The neuroblastoma cell lines Be(2)-C and IMR5-75 were treated with a combination of DAC and EPZ-6438. Controls were treated with solvent (DMSO). DNA was isolated, bisulphite converted and hybridised to the llumina HumanMethylation450 BeadChip
Project description:The impact of drugs inhibiting DNA methylation (5-aza-2'-deoxycytodine, DAC) and EZH2 (EPZ-6438) on H3K27me3 coverage was analyzed in two neuroblastoma cell lines. Parallel analyses investigated associated changes in RNA expression and DNA methylation. The neuroblastoma cell lines Be(2)-C and IMR5-75 were treated with a combination of DAC and EPZ-6438. Controls were treated with solvent (DMSO). H3K27me3 ChIP seq was done to investigate treatment-related changes of this mark. In addition, H3K4me3 and H3K27ac ChIP seq was done in DMSO treated samples to identify putative regulatory regions.

Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
