ABSTRACT: ChIP-chip of BMP2 or control treated human pulmonary artery endothelial cells with anti-beta-catenin or anti-ppar-gamma antibodies on promoter regions
Project description:Reduced bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR)2 expression in patients with pulmonary arterial (PA) hypertension (PAH), can impair PA endothelial cell (EC) function. We now characterize, in human PAECs, a novel BMPR2-mediated transcriptionally active complex between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma and beta-catenin (BC), and show that disruption of this complex impairs BMP mediated HPAEC survival. Using whole genome wide ChIP-Chip promoter analysis we delineate PPARG-BC dependent transcription of target genes that include apelin. Comparison of ppar-gamma and beta-catenin occupancy on promoter regions from human pulmonary artery endothelial cells after either treatment with BMP2 or control. A total of 8 samples were created using NimbleGen human HG18 promoter arrays.

Project description:To examine the role of retinol binding protein 7 (RBP7) in PPAR gamma mediated regulation of target gene expression in the carotid artery, RNA-Seq was used to quantitate gene expression in carotid artery from both wild-type and RBP7 knockout mice after ligand-mediated activation of PPAR gamma with Rosiglitazone.
Project description:Pharmacological activation of the transcription factor PPAR gamma lowers blood pressure and improves glucose tolerance in humans. In contrast, naturally occurring mutations (e.g., P467L, V290M) in the ligand binding domain of PPAR gamma in humans leads to severe insulin resistance and early-onset hypertension. Experimental evidence, including whole genome expression profiling, suggests that these mutant versions of PPAR gamma act in a dominant negative manner. Because PPAR gamma is expressed in a variety of cell types and tissues, we generated a transgenic mouse model (SP467L) specifically targeting dominant negative PPAR gamma to the vascular smooth muscle cells in order to determine the action of PPAR gamma in the blood vessel independent of its systemic metabolic actions. In the data set provided herein, we examined the gene expression profile in mesenteric vessels from SP467L mice and their control littermates using the Affymetrix mouse exon 1.0 ST array. We generated transgenic mice specifically targeting expression of mutant dominant negative human PPAR gamma (P467L) to vascular smooth muscle using a smooth muscle-specific promoter (smooth muscle myosin heavy chain or SMMHC). Mesenteric arteries were isolated from 3 male transgenic mice and 4 non-transgenic littermate controls. Total RNA was prepared using conventional methods and quality was assessed using the Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent Technologies). For the microarray hybridizations, each sample corresponded to mesenteric artery derived from one mouse. All procedures were conducted at the University of Iowa DNA Core facility using standard Affymetrix protocols. In brief, approximately 50 ng of total RNA was used as input to a two-step amplification procedure (NuGen, http://www.nugeninc.com/) to generate biotin-labeled RNA fragments for hybridization to the Affymetrix mouse exon 1.0 ST array.
Project description:Expression analysis of genes potentially regulated by BMPRII and beta-catenin. BMPRII has been linked as a genetic factor to the disease pulmonary arterial hypertension. Comparison of total mRNA obtained from human pulmonary artery endothelial cells treated with control, bone morphogentic protein receptor II, or beta-catenin siRNA
Project description:Using genome-scale CRISPR-Cas9 screening, our study revealed KMT2A as a critical regulator of β-catenin-driven CRC progression. To determine the role of KMT2A in β-catenin-mediated transcription, control and KMT2A-ablated DLD1 and SW480 colorectal cancer (CRC) cells were subjected to CHIP-seq analysis using anti-β-catenin and anti-H3K4me3 antibodies. Data obtained from the CHIP-seq experiments indicated a key role of KMT2A in β-catenin binding on active promoters.
