Project description:ChIP-seq based determination of Rad21 binding sites in embryonic stem cells (ESC) and ESC derived Embryoid Bodies (EB) identified Examination of Rad21 binding sites in 2 cell types
Project description:Cell line R1 (Mouse embryonic stem cell line) was cultured on 3 different conditions for differentiation study. The experiment ran for 7 days and samples were taken every 24hrs. Afterward, samples on days 0,3,5 and 7 were processed for microarray analysis. The conditions were the differentiation of the stem cells for 7 days through a)formation of embryoid bodies, b)culture on a gelatin coated surface and c) culture on a matrigel coated surface. Keywords: Time course
Project description:time-course experiment with embryoid bodies of CGR8 mouse embryonic stem cells ; in the whole time-series RNA from 0 days old embryoid bodies were hybridized against RNA from 3 days and 10 days old embryoid bodies Keywords = embryoid bodies Keywords = mouse Keywords = time-course Keywords = oligonucleotide array Keywords: time-course
Project description:The Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase (NuRD) complex plays an important role in gene expression regulation, stem cell self-renewal, and lineage commitment. Yet little is known about the dynamics of NuRD during cellular differentiation. Here, we study these dynamics using genome-wide profiling and quantitative interaction proteomics in mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and neural progenitor cells (NPCs). The genomic targets of NuRD are highly dynamic during differentiation, with most binding occurring at cell-type specific promoters and enhancers. We identify ZFP296 as a novel, ESC-specific NuRD interactor that also interacts with the SIN3A complex. ChIP-sequencing in Zfp296 knockout (KO) ESCs reveals decreased NuRD binding both genome-wide and at ZFP296 binding sites, although this has little effect on the transcriptome. Nevertheless, Zfp296 KO ESCs exhibit delayed induction of lineage-specific markers upon differentiation to embryoid bodies. In summary, we identify an ESC-specific NuRD interacting protein which regulates genome-wide NuRD binding and cellular differentiation.
