Project description:TAZ, also known as WWTR1, is the one of the effectors of Hippo pathway. With its paralog, YAP, TAZ promotes organ size growth as well as tumor metastasis. In human renal carcinoma cells, we found that TAZ-silencing induces resisntance toward erastin-induced ferroptosis. In this study, TAZ is silencing in clear cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 to elucidate the downstream targets that promotes the resistance toward erastin-induced ferroptosis.
Project description:We used adenoviral-mediated overexpression of MYC-BioID2, MYC-BioID2-SKI, MYC-BioID2-WWTR1 (TAZ) in human primary cardiac fibroblasts to elucidate the interaction between SKI and the Hippo signaling pathway. Original data is also available on the Global Proteome Machine (http://hs2.proteome.ca/tandem/thegpm_tandem.html). Datasets are identified as follows: GPM10000002938 and 2939 are untreated negative control cell lysates; GPM10000002941 and 2942 are "empty" MYC-BioID2 vector; GPM10000002943 and 2944 are MYC-BioID2-SKI; and GPM10000002944 and 2945 are MYC-BioID2-WWTR1(TAZ).

Project description:MESH1 encodes for Metazoan SpoT Homolog 1, which is a homologue of bacterial SpoT that mediates bacterial stringent response. In human cells, we found that MESH1-silencing induces an extensive transcriptional response in clear cell carcinoma cell line RCC4 that partially overlap with mammalian cell integrated stress response (ISR), which ATF4 up-regulation is an essential branch of the response. In this study, the goal is to elucidate the role of ATF4 up-regulation in MESH1-silencing transcriptional response.
Project description:We demonstrated that TAZ positively regulates Irs1 gene transcription in muscle. Therefore we designed ChIP-seq experiment to reveal detailed mechanism of regulation. To capture TAZ in chromatin preparation, we made Flag-tagged TAZ expressing and control vector transduced C2C12 cells by retroviral infection. We used FLAG-conjugated beads to capture TAZ-chromatin complexes and ChIP-seq was perforemd. Among many TAZ binding sites, we focused Irs1 regulatory region because our primary purpose was to identify TAZ binding site for the regulation of Irs1 transcription.
Project description:The hippo signaling cofactor TAZ (Also known as WWTR1) regulates expression of genes upon interaction with TEAD transcription factors. Among the TEAD transcription factors, TEAD4 is implicated in regulation of the self-renewal process of human trophoblast stem cells. However, we have a poor understanding about the contribution of TAZ, a co-factor of TEAD4, in that process. Thus, the goal of this study is to define the importance of TAZ in orchestrating global gene expression program in human trophoblast stem cells. Using a RNA interference strategy (RNAi), we depleted TAZ expression in human trophoblast stem cells and compared global gene expression patterns via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Three individual experiments were performed. The submitted files contain the data (raw fastq files, count data and deseq2 output) from those experiments.
