Ikaros-induced gene expression chages upon Ikaros re-expression in the ILC87 Ikaros-deficient tumor cell line
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to analyze gene expression changes in the Ikaros null ILC87 T cell tumor line after re-expression of Ikaros. ILC87 cells were transduced to stably express the 4-hydroxytamoxifen-inducible (4OHT) Ikaros1-ER fusion protein. ILC87-Ik1-ER cells were treated with mock (EtOH) or 4OHT for 1 day and the global gene expression changes were assessed by microarray analysis.
Project description:The mouse Ikaros-deficient thymic lymphoma cell line T29 was transduced with an empty retrovirus (MigR1) or a retrovirus expressing an fusion proein between Ikaros1 and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor. Cells trreated with ethanol or 4-hydroxy-tamoxyfen (4OHT) for 24h were profiled. We used expression of an inducible ersion of the Ikaros protein in an Ikaros-deficient cell line to identify Ikaros-regulated genes
Project description:The aim of the experiment was to compare to single and combined effect of Ikaros activation and IL-7 withdrawal in the Ikaros-null pre-B cell line BH1 The mouse BH1 pre-B cell line was transduced with retroviruses encoding Bcl2 and an Ikaros-estrogen receptor fusion protein. Doubly transduced cells were purified by FACS (BH1-Bcl2-Ik1ER). The transcriptome of these cells was analyzed at time 0, and after 6h and 24h of induction of Ikaros activity with 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4OHT) and/or withdrawal of IL-7. Samples from 2 independent experiments were analyzed (exp1 and exp2).
Project description:The transcription factor Ikaros represses Notch signaling. Since Ikaros and Notch treanscriptional mediator RBPJ both recognize sequences that contain the same core TGGGAA motif, it was hypothesized that Ikaros represses Notch signaling by targeting Notch response elements and competing with RBPJ for their binding. Here we used the mouse T-cell leukemia cell line T29 to compare the genomic binding profiles of Ikaros and RBPJ by ChIP-seq. The T29 cell line is derived from a Ikaros-deficient T-cell leukemia (Dumortier et al, MCB 26, 209-220, 2006) and exhibits strong Notch activation. We performed two chip-seq experiments with an anti-RBPJ antibody to map RBPJ binding sites. To map Ikaros binding sites, we engineered a T29-derived cell line that expresses a fusion protein between Ikaros and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor (Ik1-ER) which is activated by addition of 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4OHT). We used an anti-Ikaros antibody to map the sites bound by Ik1-ER after treatment of the cells with 4OHT. Sequencing were performed with the Illumina GAII sequencer as as single end 36 base pair reads.
Project description:The Ikaros zink finger transcription factor is a critical regulator of the hematopietic system, and plays an important role in the regulation of the development and function of several blood cell lineages. We used microarrays to characterize how Ikaros deficieny affects global transcription in the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from wild-type and Ikaros mutant mice. lin- Sca1+ c-Kit+ (LSK) cells, that contains the hematopoietic stem cells and the multipotent progenitor cells, were sorted by FACS from the bone marrow of 6-7 weeks old WT and IkL/L mutant mice. Total RNA extracted from these cells was subjected to transcriptome analysis.
Project description:We have observed that follicular B cells from mice with a hypomorphic mutation (IkL/L) in the Ikzf1 gene (which encodes the Ikaros transcription factor) exhibit an increased proliferative response to anti-IgM stimulation (Kirstetter et al, Eur J Immunol, 32:720-30, 2002). We asked if Ikaros controls the transcriptional response that unfolds after activation, or if differences in the transcriptional landscape of resting B cells could explain the altered response. To this end, we have determined the transcriptome of unstimulated WT and IkL/L follicular B cells, as well as that of cells stimulated for 3h and 12h with anti-IgM. Samples from 2 independent experients were analyzed. Follicular splenic B cell were sorted from 6-week old WT or IkL/L mice, and stimulated for 3 or 12h with anti IgM, or cultured without anti-IgM for 3h (unstimulated samples) 2 independant experiments were performed
Project description:Ikaros family DNA binding proteins are critical regulators of B cell development. To identify Ikaros-regulated genes in pre-B cells we performed gene expression studies at enhanced temporal resolution. We used retroviral gene transfer to express Ikaros proteins in the pre-B cell line B3. Total RNA from 2 biological replicates of B3 cells transduced with wild type Ikaros (HA-Ikaros-IRES-GFP) and DNA binding-deficient Ikaros mutant 159A (HA-159A Ikaros-IRES-GFP) was isolated 48h after infection. To increase the temporal resolution of Ikaros-regulated gene expression we transduced B3 cells with inducible Ikaros (HA-Ikaros-ERt2-IRES-GFP) and isolated total RNA from 3 biological replicates after 2 h and 6 h of exposure to 4-hydroxytamoxifen. Vector transduced B3 cells (ERt2-IRES-GFP) treated with 4-hydroxytamoxifen were used as controls.
Project description:Ikaros family DNA binding proteins are critical regulators of B cell development. To identify Ikaros-regulated genes in primary pre-B cells we performed gene expression microarrays. We used retroviral gene transfer to express Ikaros proteins. Total RNA from 3 biological replicates of primary pre-B cells transduced with wild type Ikaros (HA-Ikaros-IRES-GFP) and control vector (IRES-GFP) was isolated 48h after infection.

Experiment Overall Design: Neurons expressed either control MEF2deltaDBD-VP16-ER or MEF2-VP16-ER and expression profiling was conducted before and after 4-OH-Tamoxifen (4OHT) application.
