Project description:Self-renewal is a crucial property of glioblastoma cells and is enabled by the choreographed function of chromatin regulators and transcription factors. Identifying targetable epigenetic mechanisms of self-renewal could represent an important step toward developing new and effective treatments for this universally lethal cancer. Here we uncover a targetable epigenetic axis of self-renewal mediated by the histone variant macroH2A2.

Project description:We performed ATAC-sequencing in LSK cells (Lin(neg)/c-Kit(+)/Sca-1(+)) from shRNA mice carrying an shRNA for either Renilla or Stag2. ATAC-sequencing control (Renilla) and Stag2 knockdown cells.
Project description:ATAC-seq to define open and closed chromatin in the human CLG-GA neuroblastoma cell line upon SOX11 knockdown using siRNAs. Analysis was performed 48h upon after nucleofection, control samples are treated with siNTC (non-targeting control). 2 biological replicates were used.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse myoblast cells comparing control vs. Mybbp1a knockdown. Stable clones of C2C12 cells harboring control or Mybbp1a-targeting shRNA were established and further pooled for analysis. Goal was to determine, based on the effects of Mybbp1a depletion on global gene expression, candidate downstream target genes of Mybbp1a, a putative transcriptional co-repressor.

Goal was to determine, based on the effects of Mybbp1a depletion on global gene expression, candidate downstream target genes of Mybbp1a, a putative transcriptional co-repressor. Two-condition experiment, control vs. Mybbp1a knockdown C2C12 cells (mixed stable clones). Biological replicates: 2.
Project description:Chip-on-chip experiment with NT2 wildtype cells and cells treated with shRNA for macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 The goal was to determine the genome-wide occupancy of macroH2A1 and macroH2A2 at gene promoters in undifferentiated cells
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in NIH 3T3 cells stably knockdown for Selt (GenBank accession number NM_001040396) using vector based siRNA technique in comparison to gene expression of vector transfected NIH 3T3 cells. siSelT-1 construct (spanning nucleotides 205-224 of Selt, GenBank accession number NM_001040396) vs vector control; siSelT-5 construct (spanning nucleotides 971-989 of Selt, GenBank accession number NM_001040396) vs vector control; Two replicates per array for each oligos were carried out at different time points using RNA from different cultures of knockdown cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human glioma cells to elucidate the role of chronophin (CIN/PDXP) for glioma pathogenesis three-condition experiment: control cells vs. knockdown and knockdown vs. rescue
