Transcription profiling of human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293 infected with Adenovirus expressing cDNA for GFP or PTTG.

ABSTRACT: HEK 293 cells were infected with Adenovirus expressing cDNA of PTTG gene. A control cells infected with Adenovirus without PTTG gene cDNA were used.

<h4>Background</h4>Pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG), also known as securin, is highly expressed in various tumors including pituitary, thyroid, colon, ovary, testis, lung, and breast. An overexpression of PTTG enhances cell proliferation, induces cellular transformation in vitro, and promotes tumor development in nude mice. PTTG also inhibits separation of sister chromatids leading to aneuploidy and genetic instability. A great amount of work has been undertaken to understand the biology ...[more]

Project description:Atoh8 is a transcription factor of the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family that is expressed in multiple tissues during embryonic development but whose specific functions remain unknown. The gene encoding Atoh8 is induced by various lineage- determining bHLH transcription factors in cell culture, suggesting a possible common role of this gene in multiple bHLH-driven differentiation programs. In the pancreas, the pro-endocrine bHLH factors Neurogenin3 (Neurog3) and NeuroD1 activate Atoh8 expression. Moreover, Atoh8 is expressed in the embryonic pancreas confirming its participation in the pancreatic transcriptional cascade. This work aims at gaining insight into the molecular function of Atoh8 during the endocrine differentiation program initiated by Neurog3 in the pancreas. To this aim, we have generated a recombinant adenovirus encoding an Atoh8-specific shRNA (Ad-shAtoh8) and used it to down-regulate expression of the Atoh8 gene in Neurog3-expressing pancreatic ductal cells (mPAC), a cellular model of endocrine cell differentiation. Thus, we have compared global changes in gene expression profiles between cells treated with Ad-Neurog3+shControl and cells treated with Ad-Neurog3+shAtoh8 using Affymetrix microarrays. Our results show that Atoh8 silencing significantly affects the expression of 293 genes in Neurog3-expressing mPAC cells. Gene Ontology analysis has revealed cell cycle as the biological function most significantly represented among the modified genes. These results uncover a potential function of Math6 as a regulator of cell cycle progression and provide novel insights into the link between Neurog3 and the regulation of the cell cycle. mPAC cells (mouse pancreatic duct cells) overexpressing Neurogenin3 were divided in 2 groups according to the shRNA encoded by the recombinant adenoviruses used: 1) Scramble shRNA (control for the infection effect), 2) Atonal Homolog 8-specific shRNA. Experiment was performed three independent times (3 independent biological replicates).

Project description:Our goal is to find new genes regulated by p21 in human primary cells . To get it we carried out a gene expression profiling in two different models, human myeloid leukemia K562 cells and human keratinocytes both of them with conditional expression of p21. In order to identify genes specifically modulated by p21 we compared with the cell line with overexpression of p27, because p21 and p27 belong to the same gene family and regulated the same genes specially in cell cycle. So, our intention is to identify only genes regulated by p21 and not p27. In order to confirm these results we studied the p21-dependent repression of mitotic genes in a different cellular system. We chose human primary keratinocytes because they are non-tumorigenic, non-immortalized and epithelial cells, in contrast to human myeloid leukemia K562 cells. Human primary keratinocytes were infected with recombinant adenoviruses expressing the full-length p21 protein. A dramatic increase in p21 in infected keratinocytes was demonstrated by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). As controls, we also infected the keratinocytes with adenovirus carrying the genes for p27 which overexpression was also confirmed by RT-qPCR (as we show in the manuscript). We prepared RNA 24 h after infection and performed large-scale expression assay using the Afftymetrix platform. The clustering analysis revealed that p21 provoked the down-regulation of a number genes involved in cell cycle control not shared by cells expressing p27 (as we show in the manuscript). Our goal, has been getting genes regulated more strongly by p21 and not by p27 in cell cycle and mitosis. Our result are supported because we have found the same genes in two different models and also we have validated (by RT-qPCR) more than 20 cell cycle and mitotic genes, found in our affymetrix arrays. Also we have found the region of p21 that is sufficient for gene regulation and for one gene we have described as p21 bind to the promoter. Finally, we have discussed in our manuscript how p21 can do this regulation by bioinformatic analysis of p21-target genes. The success of this study is to describe a new role of p21 as a transcriptional co-repressor in some systems.
