Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30537: Dissecting the retinoid-induced differentiation of F9 embryonal stem cells by integrative genomics [mRNA profiling] GSE30538: Dissecting the retinoid-induced differentiation of F9 embryonal stem cells by integrative genomics [ChIP-seq] Refer to individual Series
Project description:PCL family protein Phf19/Pcl3 is one of the accessory components of the PRC2 core complex, and Phf19 is highly expressed in murine ES cells and an ES cell-like embryonic carcinoma cell line, F9 cells. Here we performed microarray analysis of embryonal carcinoma cell line F9 following Phf19 knockdown by shRNA. Knocking down Phf19/Pcl3 in F9 embryonic cells led to derepression of numerous PRC2 direct target genes.

Knocking down Phf19/Pcl3 in F9 embryonic cells led to derepression of numerous PRC2 direct target genes. 4 sampels including 2 shRNA vector control cell lines and 2 shPhf19 cell lines were used for RNA extraction and Affymetrix mouse 430 2.0 arrays.
Project description:Effect of all trans retinoic acid and the novel retinoid, ST1926, on the profile of gene expression in F9 teratocarcinoma sublines characterized by the presence or absence of the RAR gamma nuclear retinoic acid receptor
Project description:Enhancer reactivation and pluripotency gene (PpG) expression could induce stemness and enhance tumorigenicity in cancer stem cells. Silencing of PpG enhancers (PpGe) during embryonic stem cell differentiation involves Lsd1–mediated H3K4me1 demethylation followed by DNA methylation. Here, we observed a widespread retention of H3K4me1 and DNA hypomethylation at PpGe associated with a partial repression of PpGs in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells (ECCs) post-differentiation. The absence of H3K4me1 demethylation could not be rescued by Lsd1 overexpression. Based on the observation that H3K4me1 demethylation is accompanied by strong Oct4 repression in P19 ECCs, we tested if Lsd1-Oct4 interaction affects Lsd1 catalytic activity. Our data show a dose-dependent inhibition of Lsd1 by Oct4 in vitro and retention of H3K4me1 at PpGe post-differentiation in Oct4 overexpressing P19 ECCs. These data suggest that Lsd1-Oct4 interaction in cancer stem cells may establish a primed enhancer state that is susceptible to reactivation leading to aberrant PpG expression.
