Project description:GATA transcription factors, particularly GATA2 and GATA3 are selectively expressed in the extraembryonic trophoblast lineage and regulates gene expression to promote trophoblast self-renewal during mammalian development. However, we have a poor understanding about the contribution of these GATA factors, in the process of syncytiotrophoblast (SynT) development. Thus, the goal of this study is to define the importance of GATA2 and GATA3 in orchestrating a global gene expression program that poises and commits mammalian trophoblast stem cells to the SynT lineage. Using the cut and run technique for GATA2 and GATA3 antibodies in the human trophoblast stem cells we are aiming to identify the direct targets of the GATA transcription factors that are essential for determining the SynT lineage. Three individual experiments were performed.
Project description:Cut&Run analysis was performed in TAL1-FKBP12 Jurkat cells to analyze DNA bindings of GATA3 and RUNX1 after DMSO or dTAG-13 treatment.
Project description:CUT&RUN LoV-U was performed against SMAD4 using two different antibodies in M170117 human melanoma cells under 4 conditions: Control (DMSO), TGFb, MEKi and TGFb + MEKi (Both).
Project description:SOX6 CUT&RUN on HUDEP1 over expressing SOX6-Flag. The experiment is done using and anti Flag Ab to assist the genome wide binding profile of SOX6 in HUDEP1 (Human Umbilical cord blood-Derived Erythroid Progenitor-1).
Project description:SALL4 builds a complex with histone deacetylases, and is thought to confer its effects epigenetically. Both loss of Sall4 and inhibition of HDAC2 leads to an invasiveness in human melanoma cells. To study co-occupancy of SALL4 and HDAC2, we employed CUT&RUN targeting SALL4 and HDAC2 in human melanoma cells (M010817).
Project description:We performed 8 C&R tests in HEK293T human cells and 8 in mouse embryonic tissues from JAX Swiss mice by using either IgG or anti-HA antibodies. To increase diversity in this test, we used both the original C&R protocol and our recently developed C&R-LoV-U version for non-DNA-binding transcriptional co-factors. The aim was to experimentally validate our generated CUT&RUN blacklists containing problematic high signal regions.
