Project description:To investigate the role of METTL3-mediated chromatin dynamics, we performed ChIP-seq for METTL3, ARID1A and H3K27ac,and ATAC-seq in high glucose treated control or METTL3 knockdown HTR8/SVneo cells.
Project description:label the cells overexpressed Myc tagged METTL3 and Flag tagged WTAP with 4-SU, the RNA bound by METT3,WTAP can be got by Myc or Flag IP followed by RNA isolation by using the TRIzol (Invitrogen) reagent by following the company manual.the RNA was then used for library preparation using a TruSeq™ RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.The libraries were sequenced using HiSeq2000 (Illumina) in single-read mode, creating reads with a length of 50 bp. Sequencing chemistry v2 (Illumina) was used and samples were multiplexed in two samples per lane. discovery of the binding motif of METTL3,WTAP in METTL3,WTAP overexpressed Human 293T cells
Project description:we find METTL3 associates with polyribosomes and promotes translation. METTL3 depletion inhibits translation, and both wild-type and catalytically inactive METTL3 promote translation when tethered to the 3' untranslated region (UTR) of a reporter mRNA. Mechanistically, METTL3 enhances mRNA translation through an interaction with the translation initiation machinery. m6A seq in A549 and H1299 cells, RNA seq in METTL3 knockdown cells
Project description:Seven patient paired primary human HLA-G+ extravillous trophoblasts (EVT) and Villous trophoblasts (VT) obtained from 1st trimester (7-9 weeks) villous tissue were obtained. RNA was isolated directly after isolation and purification using FACS sort for CD45-HLA-G+ (EVT) and CD45-HLA-G-EGFR1+ (VT) fractions. Expression profiles were compared to two samples of the choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3 and four samples of decidual stromal cells (DSC) at passage 2 after cell culture.
Project description:Primary term human trophoblasts were derived from placentas after a healthy pregnancy, and exposed to ionizing irradiation (vs sham) in vitro
Project description:Primary term human trophoblasts were derived from placentas after a healthy pregnancy, and exposed to ionizing irradiation (vs sham) in vitro Primary human trophoblasts were irradiated 24 h after initial plating, defined as time zero. Cells were irradiated at 10 Gy using a Clinac 600C (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) with a 6 MV photon beam and a dose rate of 250 cGy/min. The flasks containing the cells were placed on 1.5 cm of bolus (a tissue equivalent material) since the maximum irradiation depth was 1.5 cm, which corresponded to the plated cell layer. Cells were analyzed 4, 8, and 24 h after irradiation or sham.
