Project description:As such, TNF triggers the canonical NF-?B pathway to induce a nuclear NF-?B activity composed of the RelA:p50 dimer in WT cells. Nfkb2 encodes p100, which regulates the activity of the RelB NF-?B heterodimers during immune cell-differentiation via the noncanonical pathway. Our biochemical analyses revealed that an absence of p100 instead repositions RelB under the control of the TNF-activated canonical pathway. Indeed, chronic TNF treatment of Nfkb2-/- cells activates the RelA:p50 dimer and an additional RelB:p50 dimer. On the other hand, TNF stimulation of Relb-/-Nfkb2-/- and Rela-/-Nfkb2-/- MEFs exclusively activated the RelA:p50 dimer and the RelB:p50 dimer, respectively. We treated this panel of knockout MEFs with TNF for 6h before being subjected to microarray mRNA analysis. We also included in our analysis WT MEFs and Rela-/-Relb-/-Rel-/- MEFs, which served as a negative control. Our analyses revealed overlapping and distinct gene-expression specificities of RelA:p50 and RelB:p50 dimers activated in mutant cells in response to TNF.
Project description:Purpose: Our goal was to evaluate the transcriptional profiles of FLS. We used genome wide approaches to uncover the interactions between SOX4 and RELA/p65, downstream of TNF signaling. Methods: ChIP-seq of mouse FLS was used to compare the global DNA binding profiles of SOX4 and RELA. Results: ChIP-seq revealed an overllap of SOX4 peak summits with RELA peak summits suggesting that both proteins bind in close-proximity on regulatory sequences, enabling them to co-operatively regulate gene expression. By integrating the ChIP-seq results with RNA-seq from SoxC-knockout FLS we identified a set of TNF-responsive genes that are targets of the RELA-SOX4 transcriptional complex. Conclusion: SOX4 and RELA, together orchestrate a multimodal regulation of gene expression downstream of TNF signaling. Their interdependent activities play a pivotal role in the transformation FLS in arthritis and in the inflammatory pathology of diverse tissues where RELA and SOX4 are co-expressed.
Project description:We investigated the genomewide binding pattern of prevalent p53 gain-of-function (GOF) mutants by ChIP-seq, in a panel of breast cancer cell lines. We assessed the genomewide changes of H3K4me3 upon GOF p53 knockdown in MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells bearing the p53 R273H mutation. This study uses ChIP-seq of H3K4me3 and histone H3 in wild-type or p53 R172H knock-in MEFs. Additionally, this study examines the transcriptome of wild-type or p53 R172H knock-in MEFs using polyA+ RNA-seq.
Project description:We report a genome wide enrichment, redistribution and accumulation of H2A.Z at specific chromatin control regions, in particular at enhancers and insulators, in mouse embryonic fibroblasts depleted for Anp32e (MEFs Anp32e-/-). H2A.Z ChIP-seq in MEFs WT (+/+) or KO (-/-) for Anp32e.

Project description:Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) were generated from Ubc9fl/- and Ubc9+/+ embryos (E13.5). MEFs were treated with tamoxifen for six days to cause CreERT2 activation, and induce Ubc9 floxed allele deletion. We determined the ChIP-seq profiles of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 using chromatin of wild-type MEFs Ubc9+/+ and of the corresponding Ubc9 KO MEFs which are entirely depleted for sumoylation. The analysis revealed the nearly complete absence of genome-wide binding of SUMO-1 and SUMO-2 in Ubc9-/- MEFs, attesting for antibody specificities.
Project description:Gcn5/PCAF dobule knockout (dKO) in MEFs leads to loss of the global H3K9ac, but only affect expression of a small nubmer of genes according to RNA-Seq data. To examine the function of H3K9ac on gene activation, H3K9ac ChIP-Seq was performed. We found that H3K9ac at Transcriptional Start sites (TSSs) of no-changed, up-regulated and down-regulated genes are all dramatially decreased in Gcn5/PCAF dKO cells, suggesting that H3K9ac is largely not required for gene activation. PCAF-/-;Gcn5f/D MEFs were infected with retroviral Cre to delete Gcn5 to generate Gcn5/PCAF dKO cells, followed by H3K9ac ChIP-Seq analysis
