RNA-sequencing of LEUTX-inducible H9 human embryonic stem cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We generated an inducible DDdCas9VP192 activator cell line in H9 human embryonic stem cells using the Sleeping beauty transposition system. The guides targeting a LEUTX promoter and enhancers were introduced by PiggyBac transposition. Three sample types were generated: Promoter only, Promoter+Enhancer1, Promoter+Enhancer2. Cells were collected before and at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after doxycycline treatment, and subjected to STRT RNA-sequencing.
Project description:The goal of the experiment was to understand the epigenetic effects of PU.1 haploinsufficiency on pro-B cells. The RS4:11 cell line was edited both mono and biallelicaly via electroporation of Cas9 and guides. Following editing, aliquots of unedited (SPI1 +/+), mono (SPI1 +/-) and biallellicaly edited (SPI1 -/-) cells were lysed before undergoing the transposition reaction. After transposition, the ATAC-seq libraries were purified and then amplified via PCR. Libraries were sequenced using the Illumina Novaseq platform.
Project description:We describe an assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq), based on direct in vitro transposition of sequencing adaptors into native chromatin, as a rapid and sensitive method for integrative epigenomic analysis. ATAC-seq captures open chromatin sites using a simple two-step protocol with 500–50,000 cells and reveals the interplay between genomic locations of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins, individual nucleosomes and chromatin compaction at nucleotide resolution. We discovered classes of DNA-binding factors that strictly avoided, could tolerate or tended to overlap with the nucleosome. Using ATAC-seq maps of human CD4+ T cells from a proband obtained on consecutive days, we demonstrated the feasibility of analyzing an individual’s epigenome on a timescale compatible with clinical decision-making. We examined chromatin structure using ATAC-seq in 2 cell types (GM12878 cell line, purified CD4+ T cells).
Project description:CRISPRi guides were designed to target genomic regions of interest in HEK293t cells. Four guides were designed per region (see processed file). These regions were an enhancer located in the 3’UTR of SBK1 which harbors the obesity GWAS variant rs2650492, the promoter of GAPDH as a positive control, and a non-coding region near TUFM as a negative control. We also provide transcriptomes for Cas9 transfected cells only. Genes proximal to rs2650492 were assessed for differential expression. This experiment was performed with technical replicates where each replicate is a unique transfection and library preparation.
Project description:We used ATAC-seq (Buenrostro et al, 2013) to identify regions of open chromatin in FACS sorted mouse endothelial cells from E12.5 hearts. Please note that the animals were injected at different dates, which resulted in different effects of the knockout, as indicated in the batch attribute of the samples. This data set is part of the study \Endocardial Tbx20 is essential for mesenchymal and myocardial cell movements required for cardiac septation\. Peaks were called using HOMER (-gsize 1.87e9 -region -tbp 1). Replicate 1: -fdr 1e-8, replicate 2: default parameters. Buenrostro JD, Giresi PG, Zaba LC, Chang HY, Greenleaf WJ. 2013. Transposition of native chromatin for fast and sensitive epigenomic profiling of open chromatin, DNA-binding proteins and nucleosome position. Nat Methods 10: 12138.
Project description:Proteasomes exist in mammalian cells in multiple combinatorial variants due to the broadly diversified regulatory particles and catalytic subunits exchange. Here, using biotin carboxyl carrier domain of transcarboxylase from Propionibacterium shermanii fused with different proteasome subunits of catalytic and regulatory particles, we report comprehensive characterization of highly homogenous one-step purified human constitutive and immune 20S and 26S/30S proteasomes. Hydrolysis of multiple sclerosis (MS) autoantigen, myelin basic protein (MBP), by engineered human proteasomes with different catalytic phenotypes revealed peptides, which may be directly loaded on the HLA class I. Prediction of affinity of HLA class I to these peptides demonstrated that protective HLA I alleles are high affinity binders, whereas MS-associated alleles tend to have moderate-to-low affinity. Core peptide QDENPVVHFF, originated from the encephalitogenic MBP part, and its deaminated form was shown to be high affinity ligand for the protective HLA A*44, -B*40 and -B*35 alleles, demonstrating complexity of the autoimmune neurodegeneration.
Project description:Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia of Down syndrome (DS-AMKL) is a model of clonal evolution from a preleukemic transient myeloproliferative disorder requiring both a trisomy 21 (T21) and a GATA1s mutation to a leukemia driven by additional driver mutations. We modelled this leukemic evolution through stepwise gene editing of GATA1s, SMC3+/- and MPLW515K providing 20 different trisomy or disomy 21 iPSC clones. The CD41+/CD42+ MK were sorted (10 000 to 30 000 cells) and submitted to cell lysis, transposition, and purification steps. The transposed DNA fragments were amplified by PCR 12 times using adapters from the Nextera Index Kit (Illumina). PCR purification was performed using MinElute PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, 28004) to remove large fragments and remaining primers. Library quality was assessed using an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies 5067-4626). Libraries were sequenced using NovaSeq-6000 sequencer (Illumina; 50 bp paired-end reads).
Project description:We identified a SNP rs242561, located within a regulatory region of the MAPT gene (encoding microtubule-associated protein Tau). It was consistently occupied by NRF2/sMAF in multiple ChIP-seq experiments, and its strong-binding allele increased transactivation, and accorded higher mRNA levels in cell lines and human brain. To confirm the allele-specific binding, we conducted ChIP tagmentaion sequencing experiment in human lymphoblastoid cell line GM12763 which is heterozygous for rs242561. NRF2 ChIP DNA was isolated from GM12763 cells treated with Sulforaphane (SFN) in triplicates. The region containing rs242561 was amplified using primers, Fwd 5â??-AGCCTTCCCTGTCCTTGATT-3â??, Rev 5â??-GGACCGAGCTTCCAGTCTAA-3â??, and tagmentated using Tn5-based transposition for library construction. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina MiSeq. NRF2 ChIP tagmentation sequencing of a 241bp intron region in MAPT gene using GM12763 treated with sulforaphane
Project description:The Pleiotropic Drug Resistance (PDR) network is central to the drug response in fungi, and its overactivation is associated with drug resistance. However, gene regulation of the PDR network is not well understood. Here, we established a method to identify proteins that bind promoter of the PDR5 multidrug transporter gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using minichromosome isolation and SILAC-based quantitative proteomics, and identified the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex as a PDR5 promoter-binding complex. We also purified the SWI/SNF complex from S. cerevisiae by immunoprecipitating Flag-tagged Snf6, a subunit of SWI/SNF, and identified the subunits of SWI/SNF and its binding proteins by LC-MS/MS.
Project description:STRT-N is a newly optimized single-cell RNA sequencing method for studies of early genome activation in mammalian preimplantation development. Here, single embryos from the oocyte, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, blastocyst, and morula stages were sampled for experiments and were sequenced using STRT-N method.
Project description:Accumulating evidence suggests that DEAD-box proteins are essential in RNA metabolism and play pivotal roles in cancer progression. However, the mechanisms underlying how DDX24 drives hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that DDX24 was an oncogene and identified RFX8 as a DDX24 promoter-binding protein that transcriptionally upregulated DDX24 expression.
