Project description:Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) is an enzyme that promotes deacetylation of acetylated lysine residues in histones and other proteins. Histone acetylation is often associated with gene activation and expression. Los of HDAC1 leads to severe problems in development and proliferation. Moreover, it seems to be the major histone deacetylase in mouse embryonic stem cells. We used microarrays to identify putative HDAC1 target genes. Experiment Overall Design: Wild type and HDAC1 mouse embryonic stem cell, originating from same litter, were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1/KDM1A) regulates gene expression as part of the CoREST complex, along with co-repressor of REST (CoREST) and histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1). CoREST is recruited to specific genomic loci by components of the core complex and numerous transient interactions with chromatin associated factors and transcription factors. To sample the chromatin environment in proximity to CoREST, we performed proximity-dependent biotin-identification (BioID) with four different members of the complex in 293T cells. Retaining only targets identified with 3 out of 4 baits, we identified 302 CoREST-associated proteins. Among this group were 16 of 18 known CoREST components and numerous novel associations, including readers (CHD3, 4, 6, 7 and 8), writers (KMT2B and KMT2D) and erasers (KDM2B) of histone methylation. However, components of other HDAC1 containing complexes (e.g. Sin3A, NuRD) were largely absent, suggesting that CoREST functions independently. As LSD1 plays an essential role in early embryonic development, we performed BioID using the endogeneously tagged protein in pluripotent, early- and late-differentiating embryonic stem cells. We identified 157 LSD1-associated proteins of which 66 were constitutively associated across all three time-points (44%), including novel interactions with the MMB and ChAHP complexes. These data imply that the majority of CoREST interactions are dynamic and highly cell type dependent.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of mouse embryonic kidneys (E13.5) comparing UB HDAC1,2-/- kidneys with wild type kidneys. Studies in our lab showed that histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) and 2 (HDAC2) perform redundant, yet essential functions in the developing mouse ureteric bud (UB) tissue. Double deletion of HDAC1 and HDAC2 in the UB results in impaired UB branching morphogenesis, followed by severe kidney dysgenesis. The goal of the microarray analysis was to identify the genetic pathways controlled by HDAC1 and 2 in the UB.

Project description:Histone deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) regulate chromatin structure as the catalytic core of the Sin3A, NuRD and CoREST co-repressor complexes. To better understand the key pathways regulated by HDAC1/2 in the adaptive immune system and inform their exploitation as drug targets, we have generated mice with a T cell specific deletion and performed comparative genomic hybridisation using genomic DNA from HDAC1-/-; HDAC2+/- diseased thymocytes and sample-matched, wild-type tail. A data set from a related transcription-profiling study comparing HDAC1-/-; HDAC2+/- mouse thymus tissue against thymus tissues from wild-type counterparts has also been deposited at ArrayExpress under accession E-MTAB-1432: http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1432
Project description:The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of combining the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor sodium valproate (VPA) with anti-EGFR monoclonal antibody (panitumumab or cetuximab) maintenance in the first-line treatment of patients with RAS wild type metastatic CRC.
Project description:In this study, we mapped modification of lysine 4 and lysine 27 of histone H3 genome-wide in a series of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) varying in DNA methylation levels based on knock-out and reconstitution of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). We extend previous studies showing cross-talk between DNA methylation and histone modifications by examining a breadth of histone modifications, causal relationships, and direct effects. Our data shows a causal regulation of H3K27me3 at gene promoters as well as H3K27ac and H3K27me3 at tissue-specific enhancers. We also identify isoform differences between DNMT family members. This study provides a comprehensive resource for the study of the complex interplay between DNA methylation and histone modification landscape. RNA-seq performed on wild-type, Dnmt triple knock-out (Dnmt1/3a/3b; TKO), Dnmt double knock-out (Dnmt3a/3b; DKO), and respective reconstitution mouse embryonic stem cell lines
