Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE23956: Gene expression profiles of E14 ESCs treated with low levels of HDAC inhibitors for 16 hrs GSE23957: Gene expression profiles of E14 ESCs treated with low levels of the HDAC inhibitor VPA for 4 hrs GSE24211: Genome-wide H3K9 acetylation state before and after VPA treatment Refer to individual Series
Project description:Gene expression profiles of E14 embryonic stem cells (ESCs) before and after treatment with low levels of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors valproic acid (VPA) and sodium butyrate (NaBu). E14 cells were treated with VPA or NaBu for 16 hrs in duplicates. Cells were harvested along with untreated control E14 cells. RNA was isolated from the cells and hybridized on Affymetrix chips.
Project description:Genome-wide maps of the H3K9 acetylation state in embryonic stem cells (ESCs) before and after treatment with low levels of the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor valproic acid (VPA). ChIP-seq for 3 samples: untreated E14 cells, cells treated with VPA for 4 hrs and cells treated with VPA for 16 hrs. Unprecipitated DNA was used as the input control (Input).

Project description:Elevated levels of androgen receptor (AR) in prostate cancer confer resistance to current antiandrogens and play a causal role in disease progression due to persistent target gene activation. Through pharmacologic and genetic approaches, we show that half of all direct AR target genes, including TMPRSS2, the primary driver of ETS fusion transcripts in 70 percent of human prostate cancers, require histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity for transcriptional activation by AR. Surprisingly, the HDAC3-NCoR complex, which typically functions to repress gene expression by nuclear receptors, is required for AR target gene activation. Prostate cancer cells treated with HDAC inhibitors have reduced AR protein levels, but we show that the mechanism of blockade of AR activity is through failure to assemble a coactivator/RNA polymerase II complex after AR binds to the enhancers of target genes. Failed complex assembly is associated with a phase shift in the cyclical wave of AR recruitment that typically occurs in response to ligand treatment. HDAC inhibitors retain the ability to block AR activity in hormone refractory prostate cancer models and therefore merit clinical investigation in this setting. HDAC-regulated AR target genes defined here can serve as biomarkers to ensure sufficient levels of HDAC inhibition. Experiment Overall Design: LNCaP prostate cancer cells were grown in charcoal stripped, androgen deplete medium. They were then stimulated with or without 1nM R1881 and with or without two doses of HDAC inhibitors TSA, SAHA, and LBH 589. Cyclohexamide was include to block new protein synthesis. Cells were harvested 16 hours after treatment.

Experiment Overall Design: Lentiviral shRNA mediated knockdown of Luciferase (ctrl), HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC8 LnCAP cells were generated. They were grown in charcoal stripped, androgen deplete medium. They were then stimulated with or without 1nM R1881. Cyclohexamide was include to block new protein synthesis. Cells were harvested 16 hours after treatment.
