Project description:GATA transcription factors, particularly GATA2 and GATA3 are selectively expressed in the extraembryonic trophoblast lineage and regulates gene expression to promote trophoblast self-renewal during mammalian development. However, we have a poor understanding about the contribution of these GATA factors, in the process of syncytiotrophoblast (SynT) development. Thus, the goal of this study is to define the importance of GATA2 and GATA3 in orchestrating a global gene expression program that poises and commits mammalian trophoblast stem cells to the SynT lineage. Using the cut and run technique for GATA2 and GATA3 antibodies in the human trophoblast stem cells we are aiming to identify the direct targets of the GATA transcription factors that are essential for determining the SynT lineage. Three individual experiments were performed.
Project description:Cut&Run analysis was performed in TAL1-FKBP12 Jurkat cells to analyze DNA bindings of GATA3 and RUNX1 after DMSO or dTAG-13 treatment.
Project description:CUT&RUN LoV-U was performed against SMAD4 using two different antibodies in M170117 human melanoma cells under 4 conditions: Control (DMSO), TGFb, MEKi and TGFb + MEKi (Both).
