Project description:Gene expression profile of melan-a mouse melanocytes vs. B16 mouse melanoma cells. Experiment Overall Design: Balanced block design with dye swap. Six biological replicates, one replicate per array.
Project description:The melan-a cell line is derived from immortalized mouse melanocytes obtained from Ink4a-ARF-/- mice. RNA-seq was performed to assess the global nature of transcript and gene expression profiles in melan-a cells. These RNA-seq data, along with separate ChIP-seq performed in melan-a cells (GSE38498), were used to correlate gene expression patterns with the presence or absence of transcription factors of interest.
Project description:Using ChIP-seq for p300 and H3K4me1, we identified 2,489 putative melanocyte enhancer loci in the mouse genome. We demonstrated that these putative enhancers are evolutionarily constrained, enriched for sequence motifs predicted to bind key melanocyte transcription factors, located near genes relevant to melanocyte biology, and capable of driving reporter gene expression with high frequency in cultured melanocytes and in melanocytes of transgenic zebrafish. ChIP-seq for EP300 and H3K4me1 in the mouse melanocyte cell line melan-a.
Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq analysis of SOX10, histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) and H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in melanocytes to profile the genomic binding sites of SOX10 and the chromatin landscape. In parallel, we generated Sox10 haploinsufficient cell lines using gene knockout approaches and conducted microarray gene expression analysis to identify functional gene targets of SOX10 transcriptional regulation in melanocytes. We demonstrate that SOX10 predominantly engages “open” chromatin, binds to melanocyte enhancer elements and plays a central role in transcriptional activation and repression of functionally distinct classes of genes. Furthermore, we identified cis-regulatory sequence motifs of putative co-regulatory transcription factors that define SOX10-activated and SOX10-repressed target genes. Our results uncover novel mechanisms and roles of SOX10 in global transcriptional regulation of diverse regulatory pathways in the melanocyte lineage. ChIP-seq profiling of SOX10, H3K27ac, and H3K27me3 in the mouse melanocyte cell line melan-Ink4a-Arf-1 (melan-a).
Project description:Analysis of gene expression patterns in cancer improved the understanding the mechanisms underlying the process of metastatic progression. Recent studies have attributed an important role to B-1 cells, a subset of B lymphocytes, in melanoma progression. It was already demonstrated that in vitro interaction between B16 melanoma cells and B-1 lymphocytes induced increase in metastatic potential of B16 lineage. In this study we used a microarray approach to assess gene expression profile in B16 melanoma cells after contacting B-1 lymphocytes (B16B1).
Project description:Hypoxia-driven alterations in the B16 melanoma cell transcriptome account for a higher metastatic potential: evidence for a role of Ero1L We analyzed transcriptomic adaptations to hypoxia/reoxygenation in B16 melanoma cells. By Ero1L over- and down-expression in vivo, we identified this ER oxidase as an actor of tumor growth and metastasis take. In vitro culture of B16 submitted to hypoxia (oxygen rate less than 1%)
Project description:Methods: mRNA profiles of B16 mouse melanoma cell line during pigmentation induced by culturing at low density were generated by deep sequencing, in dublicate. Library preparation was done using trueseq 4000 for quencing on Illumina paired end sequencing. The sequence read that passed the quality filter were aligned with GRCm38 as reference genome. Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 30 million sequence reads per sample and identified 18753 transcripts in the pigmenting B16 melanocytes from D3 to D7 using HTSeq tool. R-values from Corelation plot varies from 0.98-0.99 between two replicates for different days.
