ABSTRACT: We assessed the gene expression profiles induced by both genetic and pharmacological knockdown of Stat5a/b in CML cells. Stat5 was suppressed in K562 cells by lentiviral expression of Stat5 shRNA vs. scramble control for 6 days or by treatment of the cells with IST5-002 (5 µM) for 48 h. K562 cells were treated with IST5-002 (5 µM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 48 h. For Stat5 knockdown, K562 cells were infected with Stat5-shRNA lentivirus or scramble-shRNA lentivirus (as control) for 48 h followed by puromycin (2ug/ml) selection for 6 days to enrich for cells expressing Stat5 or scramble shRNA. Each group (vehicle control, IST5-002, scramble-shRNA control and Stat5-shRNA) was prepared in triplicate, and RNA samples from each group were not pooled.

Project description:We did the microarray to further compare the changes of gene expression between gastric cancer stem cells with CD44 knockdown by lentivirus and gastric cancer stem cells by scamble short hairpin RNA. Gastric cancer stem cells (Lentivirus) were infected with lentivirus that expressed human CD44-speciï¬c short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Control group of gastric cancer stem cells (Vector group) were only infected with scramble shRNA.
Project description:Downregulations of TCAM1P-004 and RP11-598D14.1 were frequently observed in HCC tumors as compared to adjacent non-tumor tissues. To further study the molecular functions of TCAM1P-004 and RP11-598D14.1, we attempted to identify the gene targets regulated by either lncRNAs. Knockdown of TCAM1P-004 or RP11-598D14.1 were achieved by transduction of lentivirus carrying respective shRNAs in non-tumor hepatocyte MIHA cells. Diffferentially expressed genes after knockdown of the lncRNAs were compared to cells tranduced with lentivirus carrying scramble shRNAs.
Project description:To test the function and regulated genes of ARID3A gene, we conducted lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against ARID3A in K562 cell line.
Project description:The goal of this project was to analyze the global gene expression profiles of RWPE1 and VCAP cells following transfection of GFP, GFP-ERG at 48 and 72hrs time points and stable ERG shRNA, scramble shRNA, respectively. RWPE1 cells were transfected with GFP or GFP-ERG. VCAP cells were transfected with ERG lenti-shRNA or scramble shRNA. Transfections were performed in duplicate. Total cellular RNA was isolated with Trizol and quality analysed by the bioanalyser kit.
Project description:We tested the effect iof Pbcas4 knockdown using a specific shRNA on the expression of genes sharing miRNA binding sites in mouse N2A cells. 2 samples (shRNA and scramble), 3 biological replicates for each sample
Project description:H9 human pluripotent stem cells with a stable Retinoblastoma-like protein 2 (Rbl2) knockdown or cells expressing a control Scramble shRNA were differentiated to neuroectoderm by inhibiting Activin/Nodal signalling and treating with Fgf2. Cells were collected at day 4 of differentiation and analysed for changes in global gene expression by microarray.
Project description:Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (STAT) 5A/B regulate cytokine-inducible genes upon binding to GAS motifs. It is not known what percentage of genes with GAS motifs bind to and are regulated by STAT5. Moreover, it is not clear whether genome-wide STAT5 binding is modulated by its concentration. To clarify these issues we established genome-wide STAT5 binding upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation of wild type mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and MEFs overexpressing STAT5A more than 20-fold. Upon GH stimulation 23,827 and 111,939 STAT5A binding sites were detected in wild type and STAT5A overexpressing MEFs, respectively. 13,278 and 71,561 peaks contained at least one GAS motif. 1,586 and 8,613 binding sites were located within 2.5 kbp of promoter sequences, respectively. Stringent filtering revealed 78 genes in which the promoter/upstream region (-10kbp to +0.5kbp) was recognized by STAT5 both in wt and STAT5 overexpressing MEFs and 347 genes that bound STAT5 only in overexpressing cells. Genome-wide expression analyses identified that the majority of STAT5-bound genes was not under GH control. Up to 40% of STAT5-bound genes were not expressed. For the first time we demonstrate the magnitude of opportunistic genomic STAT5 binding that does not translate into transcriptional activation of neighboring genes. Genome-wide mapping of STAT5 binding in MEF cells (WT, KO; Stat5-/- and overexpression; STAT5A-Stat5-/-) upon growth hormone induction
Project description:Breast cancer invasive growth, metastasis and therapeutic resistance affects the clinical ourcome. We explored the epigenetic mechanisms that control these process in breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231 by knocking down a lysine specific demethylase KDM3A We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was infected with scramble or KDM3A shRNA. After selection, the cells were used for microarray analysis.
Project description:Sex-dependent pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretory patterns determine the sex-biased expression of >1,000 genes in mouse and rat liver, affecting lipid and drug metabolism, inflammation and disease. A fundamental biological question is how robust differential expression can be achieved for hundreds of sex-biased genes simply based on the GH input signal pattern: pulsatile GH stimulation in males vs. near-continuous GH exposure in females. STAT5 is an essential transcriptional mediator of the sex-dependent effects of GH in the liver, but the mechanisms that underlie its sex-dependent actions are obscure. Here we elucidate the dynamic, sex-dependent binding of STAT5 and the GH/STAT5-regulated repressor BCL6 to mouse liver chromatin, revealing the counteractive interplay between these two regulators of liver sex-specificity. Our findings establish a close correlation between sex-dependent STAT5 binding and sex-biased target gene expression. Moreover, sex-dependent STAT5 binding correlated positively with sex-biased DNase hypersensitivity and H3-K4me1 and H3-K4me3 (activating) marks, correlated negatively with sex-biased H3-K27me3 (repressive) marks, and was associated with sex-differentially enriched motifs for HNF6/CDP factors. Importantly, BCL6 binding was preferentially associated with repression of female-biased STAT5 targets in male liver. Furthermore, BCL6 and STAT5 common targets but not BCL6 unique targets showed strong enrichment for lipid and drug metabolism. These findings provide a comprehensive, genome-wide view of the mechanisms whereby these two GH-regulated transcription factors establish and maintain sex differences affecting liver physiology and disease. The approaches used here to characterize sex-dependent STAT5 and BCL6 binding can be applied to other condition-specific regulatory factors and binding sites and their interplay with co-operative chromatin-binding factors. Mouse livers were excised from individual male and female mice killed at either a peak of STAT5 binding activity, or during the growth hormone (GH) interpulse interval, when STAT5 activity is either low (females) or essentially undetectable (males). Sonicated, cross-linked liver nuclear chromatin was then used to identify STAT5 binding sites by ChIP-Seq.
