Project description:Jurkat cells infected with pMIN-ERG+85 express different tagBFP levels. Using flow cytometry sorting, highest and lowest tagBFP cells (10%) were sorted. High tagBFP cells are functionaly have more leukemia stem cell proprties in comparision to low tagBFP cells. Utilizing sorted cells to identifiy differential transcriptomics between two subpopulations We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up/down-regulated genes that determine High tagBFP cells vs Low tagBFP
Project description:Jurkat T cells (in triplicate per treatment group) were left untreated in culture, infected with VSV-G-pseudotyped HIV-based vector (which transduces Tat and eGFP) or treated with TNFalpha. Keywords: parallel sample

Project description:We have identified a specific site in the ERG protein that undergoes post-transcriptional modification. We have mutated this site and generated stably expressing LNCaP cell lines. In this study we evaluated the transcriptional profile induced by ERG in LNCaP stably expressing ERG wild type , ERG mutant or empty vector (EV).
Project description:ERG is a transcription factor that is involved in leukomogenesis and its mRNA overexpression has been associated with poor prognosis in a subset of patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Herein, a genome-wide screen of ERG target genes was conducted by chromatin immunoprecipitation-on-chip (ChIP-chip) in Jurkat cells. 342 significant annotated regions were derived from ChIP-chip experiments. Seventeen candidate promoter regions resulted in at least two-fold enrichment by quantitative PCR. Notably, ERG potential targets included WNT signaling genes: WNT2, WNT9A, WNT11, CCND1, and FZD7. Functionally, expression of WNT11 was downregulated with siRNA ERG knockdown and substantially upregulated in a tet-on ERG-inducible assay in K562 cells. To investigate a role for ERG in WNT signaling, a WNT agonist was used to inhibit glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3). This treatment resulted in an ERG-dependent proliferative growth advantage in the tet-on ERG-inducible system. Lastly, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays of primary leukemia blasts confirmed WNT11 promoter enrichment dependent on ERG mRNA expression. In conclusion, ERG transcriptional networks in leukemia are revealed. Specifically, WNT11 emerged as a target of ERG. We propose that overexpression of ERG in acute leukemia may lead to a proliferative advantage upon activation of WNT signals.

Project description:The effect of CD151 expression onto the kinome of Jurkat T cells was assessed using kinome analysis. CD151 was expressed in Jurkat T cells by retroviral transduction based on a pMSCV vector. Entrez Gene: 977 UniProtKB: P48509 Jurkat T cells were transduced with the MSCV-CD151 vector and successfully transduced cells were selected using puromycin. For the kinome array experiments 3 independent samples of Jurkat cells and three independent samples of J-CD151 cells were collected. To minimize unspecific background signals, lysates from Jurkat and J-CD151 T cells harvested at different growth stages, which were then pooled to provide one sample prior to loading on the Kinexus antibody microarrays.
Project description:Prostate cancer cell lines that express ERG acquire a neuron-like phenotype. The human prostate tumor cell line LNCap was transfected with lenti-ERG or control lenti-vector. Gene expression profiling was performed to establish the ERG-associated phenotype.
