Expression analysis of mock- or RAD21-transduced Kasumi1 cells

ABSTRACT: We recently identified recurrent mutations of cohesin complex in myeloid neoplasms through whole-exome sequencing analysis. RAD21 is one of the main components of the cohesin complex. In this study, to investigate the biological impact of wild-type RAD21 on Kasumi1 cells harboring RAD21 mutation, Kasumi1 cells were retrovirally transduced with either mock or wild-type RAD21, and expression array was performed. Expression analysis was performed for mock- or wild-type RAD21-transduced Kasumi-1 cells in triplicate. The experiment was performed twice independently.

Project description:H3K27Ac ChIP-seq in wild type and cohesin-deficient thymocytes Rad21 was deleted in CD4+ CD8+ double positive (DP) thymocytes by crossing a Rad21 floxed allele with a Cd4-driven Cre transgene. DP positive thymocytes were FACS-sorted from control and Rad21-/- littermates, which were then used to perform chromatin immunoprecipitation for histone H3 acetylated on lysine 27 (H3K27Ac).
Project description:MTD project_description Inflammation and decreased stem cell function characterize organism aging, yet the relationship between these factors remains incompletely understood. This study shows that aged hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells exhibit increased ground-stage NF-κB activity, which enhances their responsiveness to undergo differentiation and loss of self-renewal in response to inflammation. The study identifies Rad21/cohesin as a critical mediator of NF-κB signals, by increasing chromatin accessibility of inter-/intra-genic and enhancer regions. Rad21/NF-κB are required for normal differentiation, but limit self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) during aging and inflammation in an NF-κB dependent manner. HSCs from aged mice fail to downregulate Rad21/cohesin and inflammation/differentiation inducing signals in the resolution phase after acute inflammation. and The inhibition of cohesin/NF-κB is sufficient to revert the hypersensitivity of aged HSPCs to inflammation-induced differentiation. During aging, myeloid-biased HSCs with disrupted and naturally occurring reduced expression of Rad21/cohesin are increasingly selected over lymphoid-biased HSCs. Together, Rad21/cohesin mediated NF-κB signaling limits HSPC function during aging and selects for cohesin deficient HSCs with myeloid skewed differentiation.
Project description:Identification of cohesin (Rad21) and CTCF binding sites in ~2% of the mouse genome in B3 pre-B cells stably expressing FLAG-tagged Rad21 using anti-FLAG (Sigma F3165) and anti-CTCF (Upstate 07729) antibodies
Project description:Rad21 is a subunit of cohesin. The main function of cohesin is to hold replicated chromosomes together until cells divide, but it also plays a role in gene expression. To find out which genes might be regulated by cohesin, a study was conducted to look for global changes in gene expression in zebrafish embryos lacking cohesin component Rad21. The zebrafish Rad21 mutant used for expression analysis was rad21nz171, an allele isolated in a forward genetic screen for regulators of runx1. Experiment Overall Design: RNA from rad21nz171 mutant and wild type zebrafish embryos collected at 24 hours post-fertilization (h.p.f.) and 48 h.p.f. was hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays (Gene Chip zebrafish genome arrays cat. no. 900488). Four pools of 50 embryos for each genotype and time point were used as the RNA source, and RNA from each pool was hybridized independently such that the experiment had four biological replicates.
Project description:The Cohesin complex has recently been described to regulate gene expression. We wanted to determine the gene expression profile specific in mouse ES cells after depletion of the Cohesin subunit Rad21. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying depletion of Rad21 and identified distinct early development related genes up-regulated and many pluripotency related genes downregulated. Rad21 was depleted in R1/E ES cells for 48h using esiRNAs against Rad21. An esiRNA against non-targeting Luciferase was used as a negative control
Project description:We explored the relationship between the evolutionary dynamics of CTCF binding and the functional stability of higher order genome structures, by performing ChIP-seq experiments in closely related Mus species or strains and intersecting with Hi-C-derived topologically associating domains (TADs) and expression data. All experiments were performed in adult male liver samples in 3 biological replicates and with an input control set. We also generated RAD21 (cohesin subunit) ChIP-seq from a replicate of adult male mouse (C57BL/6J) liver to determine localization of cohesin with respect to CTCF.

Project description:ChIP-seq to map the binding sites for CTCF and cohesin subunit Rad21 in the naive mES cells (46C cell line grown in the 2i/LIF condition) and in the neural stem cells (derived from the 46C ES cells using the mono-layer differentiation protocol, grown in the N2B27 medium these cells are Nestin+). The naive mES cells were grown in two different media (fetal bovine serum, FBS and 2i/LIF culture - naive pluripotency conditions) as detailed in the growth protocols.
