Project description:ChIP-seq was performed to assess changes in the activity of the MYC SE upon deletion of its modules or CTCF binding sites. Immunoprecipitation of crosslinked chromatin was performed with antibodies directed against H3K27Ac (Diagenode C15410196), H3K9Ac (Diagenode C15410004), H3K4me3 (Diagenode C15410003), RUNX1 (Abcam ab23980) or CTCF (Cell Signalling, 2899S). Crosslinks were reversed overnight at 65°C in the presence of proteinase K (New England Biolabs). De-crosslinked material was purified using a QIAGEN PCR Purification Kit. The purified DNA was processed according to the Nextflex ChIP Sample Preparation Protocol (Perkin Elmer) or the Microplex library preparation kit V2 (Diagnode C05010013) and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform.
Project description:We investigated the regions that are occupied by deltaNp63 in BxPC-3 and L3.6pl and identification of super enhancers in different pancreatic cancer cell lines. Thereby, we identified a group of 45 super enhancers that are associated with poorer prognosis and are highly dependent on deltaNp63.
Project description:Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is tightly controlled by the dynamic modification of histones by chemical groups, the diversity of which has largely expanded over the past decade with the discovery of lysine acylations, catalyzed from acyl-coenzymes A. Here, we investigated the dynamics of lysine acetylation and crotonylation on histones H3 and H4 during mouse spermatogenesis. Lysine crotonylation appeared to be of significant abundance compared to acetylation, particularly on Lys27 of histone H3 (H3K27cr) that accumulates in sperm in a cleaved form of H3. We identified the genomic localization of H3K27cr and studied its effects on transcription compared to the classical active mark H3K27ac at promoters and distal enhancers. The presence of both marks was strongly associated with highest gene expression. Assessment of their co-localization with transcription regulators (SLY, SOX30) and chromatin-binding proteins (BRD4, BORIS and CTCF) indicated systematic highest binding when both active marks were present and different selective binding when present alone at chromatin. H3K27cr and H3K27ac finally mark the building of some sperm super-enhancers. This integrated analysis of omics data provides an unprecedented level of understanding of gene expression regulation by H3K27cr in comparison to H3K27ac, and reveals both synergistic and specific actions of each histone modification.
Project description:We aim at understanding how ionizing radiations (IR) increase the risk of developing myeloid leukemia. We recently showed that IR leads to the derepression of retroelements. We demonstrated that retroelements expression in aged HSCs is regulated by the heterochromatin repressive histone mark H3K9me3. However, the mechanisms by which IR specifically triggers retroelements expression in HSCs are unknown. We hypothesized that retroelements derepression is due to IR-induced heterochromatin changes. To answer this question, we performed H3K9me3 ChIP-seq experiments in hematopoietic stem cells sorted from mice one month after they were irradiated and compared them to controls hematopoietic stem cells sorted from non-irradiated mice.
Project description:Aim: investigate how the Wnt-driven Mll1 epigenome regulates salivary gland and head and neck cancer. We performed mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 on mouse salivary gland cancer cells that are kept in two different growth conditions, adherent culture and non-adherent sphere culture. Mouse salivary gland cancer cells were isolated from salivary gland of transgenic mouse that harbor K14-Cre-induced Wnt/β-catenin gain-of-function and Bmpr1a loss-of-function mutations.
Project description:We performed Chromatin Isolation by RNA Purification (ChIRP) of SRA and ChIP of p68 following by high-throughput sequencing in NTERA2 cell line. We find that SRA localizes with p68 genome-wide at genes whose function is involved in embryonic development. SRA ChIRP and p68 ChIP of triplicate samples.
Project description:CEBPA/PU.1/TCF7 ChIP-seq of 6 primary samples derived from human acute leukemias, namely AML, T-ALL and mixed myeloid/lymphoid leukemias with CpG Island Methylator Phenotype (CIMP). Low-coverage whole genome sequencing (ChIP input) of the same samples is also included as a control to be used in peak calling.
Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae wildtype (YPH) and ung1-deleted strains were cultivated in mutation accumulation experiments over several bottlenecks (0-50-100-150). Two different cutlure systems were used either (i) using random colony selection and plating on petri dish (classical); or (ii) a microfluidic-based system (microfluidic)
Project description:We performed a comparision of AR binding sites as well as the histone modifications H3K27 acetylation and H3K4 monomethylation in the presence and absence of FoxA1 in the molecular apocrine breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-453. We also probed AP2alpha binding in asynchronous MDA-MB-453 cells.
Project description:We performed ChIP-seq targeting the H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 in the U2OS-GR and U2OS-AR cell lines. The cell lines are derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for either rat GR or human AR, respectively. The U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 90 minutes. The U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 4 hours.
