The study of dpf2 in mouse ES cells

ABSTRACT: Brg-or Brm-associated factor (BAF) complexes, is a 12 subunit complex which contains an ATPase subunit, Brg or Brm, that uses energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone:DNA contacts to catalyze transcriptional events such as promoting gene expression or repression. Genetic studies in mice demonstrated that BAF complexes are essential for early embryonic development and pluripotency. ES cells express distinctive compleses, termed esBAF complexes by the presence of BAF155, Brg, BAF60a. Purification of Brg and Brm-associated proteins reveals a new family of four stoichiometric subunits of mSWI/SNF or BAF complexes which was termed BAF45a, b, c, and d. The progenitors to both neurons and glia are maintained in a proliferative state by a specified SWI/SNF-like npBAF complex that contains both BAF45a and BAF53a. The transition from proliferative to neurogenic divisions requires the exchange of these subunites for the homologous BAF45b or BAF45c and BAF53b proteins. The function of BAF45d remwains unclear so far.At present, we found that the knockout of dpf2 in ES cells impared the differention of ES cells. We will identify the target genes of dpf2 by Chip-seq so that we could study how dpf2 affect the differentiation of ES cells into germ layers.Protocol: DNA was prepared from ES cells by standard ChIP method.

Project description:The goal of this project is to understand the etiology and pathology of host-pathogen interaction using high-throughput cellular phenotyping. By combining the expertise in pathogen biology, informatics and stem cell biology across the institute, this project will use targeted genetic modification in mouse embryonic stem cells to identify functions of host genes in innate immunity. We will also explore the biology of mouse embryonic stem cells and their differentiation into immune competent cells. To this end we will generate homozygous and inducible knockout lines in mouse embryonic stem cells, which will be differentiated into immune competent cells, such as macrophages or dendritic cells. These will be subjected to a panel of immune challenge and stimulation assays to characterise the functions of the disrupted genes. To identify new functions for mammalian genes in innate immunity we will:\Generate a panel of homozygous inducible gene knockout mouse ES cell lines working from a list of ca. 80 candidate genes (MGP phenotyping and GWAS hits). \Scale up differentiation protocols for immune challenge and stimulation assays.\Benchmark in vitro differentiated ES cell models against primary immune cells from selected MGP mouse lines and eventually against human iPS cells.\Screen a panel of 30 genetically modified cell lines in immunological challenge and stimulation assays, defining phenotypes at the cellular level by high content imaging, biochemically by assaying cytokine production, and at the molecular level by transcriptome analysis.\Define novel gene functions in innate immunity through network analysis of gene expression data from all challenged cell lines.\In the longer term scale up the production and phenotyping of genetically modified cell lines (mouse or human as appropriate).This data is part of a pre-publication release.
