Project description:We report the application of ATACseq to differentiating ATDC5 cells with the aim of identifying how chromatin architecture is changing as these cells move from pre-chondrocytes to differentiated chondrocytes. Raw data was generated by sequencing using the Novaseq6000 with 50bp single end reads. Trimming to remove adapters or poor-quality reads was performed with no sequence below 30 nucleotides in length used in the analysis. We found that there were significant changes in chromatin accessibility at both days 3 and 10 of differentiation. Using diffBind, differential peaks were identified at day 3 and 10. These peaks were further analyzed for enriched transcription factor binding sites and identified motifs for the RUNX family transcription factors as well as SOX9.
Project description:Chondrocytes can potentially perceive mechanical stimuli via Piezo channels. We investigated the effect of the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 on chondrocyte-like ATDC5 cells. Chondrocytes can potentially perceive mechanical stimuli via Piezo channels. We investigated the effect of the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 on chondrocyte-like ATDC5 cells. Chondrocytes can potentially perceive mechanical stimuli via Piezo channels. We investigated the effect of the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 on chondrocyte-like ATDC5 cells. Chondrocytes can potentially perceive mechanical stimuli via Piezo channels. We investigated the effect of the Piezo1 agonist Yoda1 on chondrocyte-like ATDC5 cells. We used microarray analysis to detail the global gene expression of ATDC5 cells in response to 6 hours of treatment with 5µM Yoda1.
Project description:We performed genome-wide transcriptome profiling in stable Kmt2d-/- (bi-allelic deletion of the catalytic SET domain) and Kmt2d+/+ ATDC5 chondrocyte cell lines 7 days after induction of differentiation and in stable Kmt2d-/- and Kmt2d+/+ undifferentiated ATDC5 cells.
