Project description:Comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of PRC2 mutant and WT MPNST cell lines were performed to investigate PRC2-dependent transcriptional programs that are activated due to PRC2 loss
Project description:Comprehensive transcriptomic profiling of PRC2 mutant MPNST patient tissues with adjacent normal tissues and neurofibroma patient tissues was performed to investigate gain of specific transcriptional signature associated with PRC2 loss during transformation to MPNST.
Project description:In order to comprehensively define the epigenetic patterns specific to MPNST, we generated profiles for 6 histone modification marks, including H3K4me1 (enhancer), H3K27Ac (active enhancer), H3K9me3 (heterochromatin), H3K27me3 (polycomb repression), H3K79me2 (transcription) and H3K4me3 (promoter). Systematic epigenomic profiling of chromatin states in MPNST cells revealed epigenetic subtypes in MPNST based on Polycomb related repressive and bivalent chromatin states. We demonstrate that PRC2 loss led to de-repression and subsequent enhancer reprogramming at key neural crest specifiers aiding the acquisition of this de-differentiated aggressive tumor phenotype.
Project description:We used single-cell RNAseq to profile early and advanced mouse MPNST tumors, as well as human neurofibroma and MPNST. Our work defines the stage-specific kinetics of transcriptomics, cellular heterogeneity, and tumor cell fate decisions in murine and human MPNSTs.
Project description:Using RNA-seq we characterized gene expression changes occuring upon knockout of EZH2, EZH1, EZH1+EZH2 or SUZ12 in a neurofibroma cell line. We also investigated the transcriptional consequences of EZH1+EZH2 double knockout in a SUZ12-mutant MPNST cell line.
