Project description:To identify ARID1A-regulated genes in stomach cancer, we performed microarray profiling of RNA isolated from N87 stomach cancer cells, in which ARID1A expression was knocked down by two different siRNAs against ARID1A.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the regulation of gene expression and are often dysregulated in disease. The recent development of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing system, composed of the Cas9 nuclease in complex with a single guide RNA (sgRNA), allows researchers to direct DNA cleavage at a predetermined site and to conduct genome-scale knockout screens. To determine the functional role of miRNAs in cancer, we designed and constructed a library of 7,382 sgRNAs to target 85% of the 1,881 annotated human miRNA stem-loops. We then examined the role of miRNAs in HeLa cell fitness by monitoring the change in frequency of each sgRNA over time. We identified 44 pro-proliferative miRNAs from two replicate experiments, including miR-31, a known cervical cancer overexpressing miRNA that enhances HeLa cell proliferation. We also examined the role of miRNAs in NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells and identified 10 pro-fitness and 10 anti-fitness miRNAs. In both screens, many of the pro-fitness miRNAs identified are overexpressed in tumors cervical tumors for HeLa or gastric tumors for NCI-N87. In summary, we present a CRISPR miRNA-targeted screen which was able to identify both known and novel fitness-associated miRNAs in the HeLa and NCI-N87 cell lines.
Project description:A nonsense mutation in ARID1A was identified by next generation sequencing in non-dysplastic Barrett's esophagus [BE] tissue and esophageal adenocarcinoma [EAC] tissue of a patient diagnosed with EAC. Immunohistochemistry performed on an independent archival cohort demonstrated ARID1A protein loss in 0% (0/76), 4.9% (2/40), 14.3% (4/28), 16.0% (8/50), and 12.2% (12/98) of normal squamous epithelium, BE, low-, high-grade dysplasia, and EAC tissues, respectively. Enhanced cell growth, proliferation and invasion were observed upon ARID1A knockdown in EAC cells. ARID1A was knocked down in OE33 cells (Sample MS_1 and MS_3) using on-TARGET smartpool ARID1A siRNA. At the same time, OE33 cells were transfected with a non-targeting siRNA, and these experiments (Samples MS_2 and MS_4) functioned as mock controls. Cells were harvested after 48 hours and total RNA was extracted using the Rneasy kit (Qiagen) Aim Affymetrix Human PrimeView Gene Expression Array : to determine the downstream effectors of ARID1A that are likely to contribute to the oncogenic phenotype caused by ARID1A down-regulation. Two biological replicates of each condition (2x ARID1A knockdown, and 2x Mock) were used for the microarray experiment.
Project description:ARID1A has been suggested as a key regulator for anti-tumor immunity. In the present study, we evaluated the role of ARID1A deficiency in inducing adaptive immune resistance in triple negative breast cancer. To investigate global chromatin remodeling, we performed ATAC–seq in ARID1A knockout and control MDA-MB-231 cells.

Next-generation sequencing analysis was performed in control and ARID1A knockout MDA-MB-231 cells to investigate global gene expression changes.
Project description:The study identifies genes that are regulated by the loss of the chromatin remodeller subunit ARID1A in colorectal cancer cell lines. This gene is frequently mutated in colorectal cancer.
Project description:ARID1A has been suggested as a key regulator for anti-tumor immunity. In the present study, we evaluated the role of ARID1A deficiency in inducing adaptive immune resistance in triple negative breast cancer. To explore global transcriptional activity, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing (ChIP–seq) to investigate H3K27ac histone modification of ARID1A knockout and control MDA-MB-231 cells.
