Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to evaluate the gene expression of E4BP4 knockout (KO) RAW264.7 cells. Methods: We generated E4BP4-KO RAW264.7 Cell Line using CRISPR-CAS9 system. Control plasmid was encoding the Cas9 nuclease without gRNA sequence. Total RNA of E4BP4-KO and Control (CTRL) RAW264.7 cells was extracted. RAW264.7 cells RNA profiles were generated by deep sequencing for two groups (E4BP4-KO versus CTRL RAW264.7 cells) with three samples each. Results: There were significant differences between E4BP4-KO and CTRL RAW264.7 cells. Conclusions: Deletion of E4BP4 in RAW264.7 cells induced various changes at the transcription level.

Project description:Here, using ChIP-seq, we demonstrate that the transcriptional repressor Adenovirus E4 promoter-binding protein (E4BP4) binds directly to the Bcl6 promoter, which a key transcription factor controlling Tfh cell differentiation. By obtaining sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA of E4BP4 overexpressing CD4+T cells, we generated genome-wide binding gene spectrums of E4BP4. These results reveal that E4BP4 interacts with BCL6 and E4BP4 directly modulated the expression of Bcl6 to reveal the mechanism downstream of E4BP4 that regulates Tfh cell differentiation.
