Project description:Aberrations in epigenetic processes, such as histone methylation, can lead to cancer. Retinoblastoma Binding Protein 2 (RBP2)(also called JARID1A or KDM5A) can demethylate tri- and di-methylated lysine 4 in histone H3, which are epigenetic marks for transcriptionally active chromatin, whereas the MEN1 tumor suppressor promotes H3K4 methylation. Previous studies suggested that inhibition of RBP2 contributed to tumor suppression by pRB. Here we show RBP2 loss promotes cellular differentiation in vitro. We use mouse expression array 430 2.0 array to profile gene expression patterns of Rbp2f/f and Rbp2-/- ES cells in ES cell medium and after 6 days in ES cell medium without LIF.

We use mouse expression array 430 2.0 array to profile gene expression patterns of Rbp2f/f and Rbp2-/- ES cells in ES cell medium and after 6 days in ES cell medium without LIF. Subconfluent Rbp2f/f and Rbp2-/- ES cells in ES cell medium and after 6 days in ES cell medium without LIF were harvested for RNA isolation using RNeasy mini kit with on-column DNase digestion (Qiagen). Gene expression profiling was performed using Affymetrix GeneChip mouse genome 430 2.0 arrays. Duplicate samples were used
Project description:To identify genes whose expression was affected by RBP2, we performed gene expression microarray analysis in control and RBP2 depletion human lung cancer cell line. Two individual shRNA (RBP2 KD1 and RBP2 KD2) were used to limit potential off-target effects. One scramble short haripin RNA (shRNA) and two individual shRNAs to the human RBP2 gene (RBP2 KD1 and RBP2 KD2) were used. Two replicates per group were used. H1299 cells were infected with lentivirus which carriy shRNAs for 3 days. RNA was isloated by Trizol reagent and analyzed by bioanalyzer. Microarray experiments was performed by the Affymetrix Gene Expression Service Laboratory at Academia Sinica.
Project description:RBP2 is downstream of pRB pathway; We used gene expression profiling experiments to investigate if gene expression changes in cells with RBP2 knockdown significantly overlap with gene expression changes in cells overexpressing pRB, consistent with the data that knockdown of RBP2 phenocopies reintroduction of pRB in SAOS-2 (RB-/-) cells Experiment Overall Design: Knockdown of RBP2 by siRNA to RBP2 (RBP2siRNA) in SAOS-2 (RB-/-) cells in comparison to overexpression of pRB in the SOAS-2 (RB-/-) cells and scrambled version of the RBP2 siRNA (RBP2scsiRNA)
