Project description:Determination of the genes regulated by ERRalpha nuclear receptor in MDA-MB231 cells MDA-MB231 cells were inactivated for ERRalpha using siRNA. Three different siRNAs were used (siE1, siE2, siE3). Cells treated with a control siRNA (siC samples) were used for comparison. Duplicate samples were analyzed. Transcriptomic analysis was performed by RNA-Seq
Project description:Knock-down of LSD1 using siRNA approach induced regulation of several proliferation-associated genes in ER-negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231. To identify changes on gene expression caused by treatment with siRNA directed against LSD1 (si) or control siRNA (control) in MDA-MB-231 cells, total RNA was purified from the cells after treatment for 6 days (2 rounds of transfection). Three biological replicates were used.
Project description:G9a is an H3K9m2 methyltransferase, which is critical in controlling gene suppression and DNA methylation. We used microarray analysis to identify the target genes that are regulated by G9a in MDA-MB231 cells, in which E-cadherin is silenced. G9a expression was stably knocked-down in MDA-MB231 cells. RNA from this clone and parental (control) cells were purified for microarray analysis.

Project description:Analysis of LSD1 regulation after DNA damage at gene expression level.We supposed that LSD1 is involved in Double Strand DNA repair, alterated LSD1 expression with transfection vector or LSD1 inhibtor in MDA-MB-231, and finally found LSD1 promted DNA damage reponse after IR treatment.
Project description:To understand the role of LSD1 in B cell differentiation, mice with B cell conditional deletion of LSD1 were intravenously inoculated with LPS. After 3 days, B220+GL7-CD138- naïve B cells and CD138+ plasmablasts were FACS-sorted from the spleens and RNA-seq was performed to identify LSD1-target regulated genes.
Project description:Lysine specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is an important histone demethylase that mediates metastasis in luminal breast cancer. Thus, the characterization of miRNAs in MCF7 cells regulated by LSD1 is imperative in clarifying intercellular signaling.
Project description:UGT8 is the first key enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of galactose to ceramide for the synthesis of galactosylceramide. We used microarray analysis to identify the genes that are regulated by UGT8 in MDA-MB231 cells.
Project description:Tumor-initiating cells (TICs) play a critical role in glioblastoma (GBM) maintenance being responsible for its heterogeneity and resistance to standard therapy. A step toward clinical translation includes GBM TIC targeting. Among the molecules tested for GBM treatment, are those targeting epigenetic modifiers. By using patient-derived TICs and xenograft orthotopic models, we identified Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (LSD1) as a potentially druggable target in GBM. LSD1-directed therapy by means of the selective, orally bioavailable and brain penetrant inhibitor DDP_38003 effectively impairs growth, stem-like features and tumorigenic potential of GBM TICs. Our findings point to LSD1 as a positive regulator of Activating Transcription Factor 4 (ATF4)-dependent response in all stress conditions arising during tumor growth and therapy. Thus, through the downregulation of either ATF4 and its adaptive genes, LSD1 targeting is likely a promising strategy to hit GBM TICs by counteracting the ATF4-mediated adaptation to stress.
