Project description:Gene expression changes induced by MyoD or Myf5 were examined in a double-knockout fibroblast cell line lacking endogenous functional myoD or myf5 genes. Use of this cell line precluded the possibility of auto- or cross-activation of endogenous myoD or myf5. Myogenin or hrGFP were expressed in parallel samples as controls. Following infection with retrovirus - expressing the relevant myogenic regulatory factor (MRF) from the viral LTR promoter and hrGFP through an IRES element in the same mRNA transcript - GFP+ cells were sorted by FACS and harvested for total RNA. Experiment Overall Design: this experiment include 4 samples and 12 replicates

Project description:In this work we compare the molecular functions of Myf5 and MyoD, two highly related bHLH transcription factors that regulate skeletal muscle specification and differentiation. We find MyoD and Myf5 bind the same sites genome-wide but have distinct functions: Myf5 induces histone acetylation without Pol II recruitment or robust gene activation, whereas MyoD induces histone acetylation, recruits PolII and robustly activates gene transcription. Chip-seq profiling of MyoD, Myf5, Histone H4 acetylation (H4Ac), and Pol II in MyoD-/-; Myf5-/- MEFs (M&M MEFs)
Project description:The enhancer regions of the myogenic master regulator MyoD give rise to at least two enhancer RNAs. CEeRNA regulates transcription of the adjacent MyoD gene while DRReRNA affects expression of Myogenin in trans. We found that DRReRNA is recruited at the Myogenin locus where it colocalizes with Myogenin nascent transcripts. DRReRNA associates with the Cohesin complex and such association correlates with its transactivating properties. Despite being expressed in undifferentiated cells, Cohesin is not loaded on Myogenin until the cells start expressing DRReRNA, which is then required for Cohesin chromatin recruitment and maintenance. Functionally, depletion of either Cohesin or DRReRNA reduces chromatin accessibility, prevents Myogenin activation, and hinders muscle cell differentiation. Thus, DRReRNA ensures spatially appropriate Cohesin loading in trans to regulate gene expression.
Project description:The submitted files contain ChIP-seq data for the MyoD and myogenin muscle regulatory factors in diffrentiated C2C12 cells as well as two different sonicated input samples (one from a regular 1% formaldehyde fixation and one from a dual 1%FA + 1.5 mM EGS fix). Characterization of genome-wide MyoD and myogenin binding in C2C12 cells
Project description:We performed Chip-seq analysis of Myogenic Regulatory Transcription Factors (MYF5 and MYOD) in Fusion Negative Rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Endogenous MYF5/H3K27ac Chip-seq was performed in Rh18 cells and MYOD-H3K27ac Chip-seq was performed in RD cells, given that these cell lines express these proteins in a mutually-exclusive manner. Analysis revealed a common subset of enhancer and promoter regions bound by these transcription factors that are enriched for cell cycle regulation and embryonic muscle development pathways.
