Project description:Pax5, a transcription factor, is expressed exclusively in pro B cells. To understand the genes regulated by Pax5 in epithelial cells, we overexpressed Pax5 in lung cancer cell line A549 and examined the change of transcription profile using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarray (Agilent Technologies).
Project description:SpiB, an Ets family transcription factor, is expressed exclusively in mature B cells, T-cell progenitors, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. To understand the genes regulated by SpiB in epithelial cells, we overexpressed SpiB in lung cancer cell line A549 and examined the change of transcription profile using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarray (Agilent Technologies).
Project description:We found PAX5 to be overexpressed in human pancreatic islets of donors from donors with type 2 diabetes compared to islets from non-diabetic individuals. Functional follow-up showed that Pax5 overexpression in rat clonal beta-cells (832/13 INS1) results in impaired insulin secretion. Microarrays were used to investigate if overexpression of Pax5 alters the gene expression profile of 832/13 INS1 beta-cells.
Project description:Analysis of prostate adnocarcinoma cell line LNCaP cells overexpression pair box 5 (PAX5) for up to 4 days. The goals of this study are to compare PAX5 overexpression in LNCaP cell drives transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) changes.
Project description:In lymphomas derived from mature B cells the expression of the transcription factor PAX5 is maintained whereas classical Hodgkin lymphoma displays significantly reduced PAX5 expression despite its derivation from mature B cells. To elucidate the functional role of PAX5 in classical Hodgkin lymphoma, we re-established the PAX5 expression in the Hodgkin cell line L428 with and without epigenetic modulation. To this end, we stably transfected the Hodgkin cell line L428 with an inducible PAX5 expression construct. Although the overexpressed PAX5 was transcriptionally active as demonstrated by synthetic reporter constructs, no induction of the B-cell phenotype was achieved. PAX5 chromatin immunoprecipitation with subsequent next generation sequencing in B-cell lines and the PAX5 overexpressing L428 cell line showed different binding patterns. Since epigenetic restrictions might affect PAX5 binding, combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation was performed. However, no re-expression of B-cell genes was observed also under these conditions. Thus, PAX5 is not sufficient for the re-activation of the B-cell program in Hodgkin cells despite epigenetic opening of the chromatin. This clearly indicates that the repression of the B-cell identity of the Hodgkin cells is caused and secured by complex molecular mechanisms. 2 Burkitt lymphoma cell lines (Raji, Namalwa), the Hodgkin lymphoma cell line L428 and the PAX5-producing L428 (L428-PAX5) with or without 5-aza-2M-bM-^@M-2-deoxycytidine/Trichostatin A treatment were analysed in triplicate.
