Project description:To explore genome-wide alteration MED1 and FOSL1 after depletion of FOSL1, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of SCC1 cells to examine genome-wide recruitment of MED1 and FOSL1 following FOSL1 knockdown. Depletion of FOSL1 led to dramatically loss of the recruitment of MED1 and FOSL1 at a cohort of key oncogenes associate with tumorigenesis and metastasis.
Project description:In order to examine how FOSL1 affects the global gene transcriptome in HNSCC, we performed RNA-sequencing in SCC1 and FaDu cells treated with FOSL1 siRNA. Depletion of FOSL1 led to inhibition of cancer stemness genes.
Project description:To explore genome-wide alteration of BRD4, MED1, p65 and H3K27Ac during BET inhibition, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of SCC1 cells to examine genome-wide recruitment of the MED1, BRD4, p65 and H3K27ac following JQ1 treatment. BET inhibition by JQ1 led to dramatically loss of the recruitment of MED1, BRD4 and p65 at a cohort of key oncogenes associate with tumorigenesis and metastasis. Suggesting BET inhibition is effective strategy to suppress the tumorigenesis and metastasis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Project description:Despite recent advances in genomic profiling techniques, the precise mechanisms controlling GBM subtypes and their plasticity are not fully unraveled. Here,using transcriptomic data of patient derived stem cell lines we found that FOSL1 is a master regulator of the MES subtype. Depletion of FOSL1 resulted in loss of themesenchymal gene signature (MGS) in mouse Kras-mutant neural stem cells and in human brain tumor stem cells.
Project description:CRISPR/Cas9 system was used to generate mediator complex subunit 1 (MED1) knockout human pre-B ALL cell line 697. ChIP-seq was performed to identify genomic regions responsible for recruitment of MED1 and RUNX1.
Project description:We examined 3D chromatin structure in the absence of cohesin (Scc1-AID auxin-inducible degron) and a control line (E14-Tir1) and found that PRC1 core promoter component RING1B was one of the most enriched proteins. Hence, we performed calibrated ChIP-seq experiments on the control (E14-Tir1) and the Scc1-AID mESC lines with a spike in of HEK293 human cells to further study this relationship.
Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation of genomic loci in Trypanosoma brucei where Scc1 is deposited. This was achieved by deletion of one Scc1 allele and N-terminal tagging of the second Scc1 allele with a Ty1-tag. During the ChIP experiment, the DNA was crosslinked and cells were permeabilized with digitonin. DNA was fragmented by sonication with a Covaris instrument. DNA bound to Ty1-Scc1 was pulled down by using a BB2 anti-Ty1 antibody. Cross links are reversed and the DNA was purified and prepared for Illumina sequencing.
Project description:DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) are highly detrimental since they can lead to mutations and chromosomes rearrangements (amplification, deletion, translocation and chromosome loss). Here, we set to assess the tridimensional genome organization around DSBs and its role in DSB repair foci formation. We performed Hi-C experiments before and after DSB induction and upon ctrl or SCC1 depletion, 4C-seq experiments before and after DSB induction and upon cohesin (SCC1) depletion or ATM inhibition. We also performed ChIP-seq of pATM(S1981), CTCF, P-SMC3(S1083), MDC1 and a calibrated ChIP-seq of SCC1 with or without damage. ChIP-chip of SMC3 (S1083) and SMC1 (S966) were used to show the recruitment of these marks on DNA repair foci. ChIP-chip of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 depletion and ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon SCC1 or WAPL to show the role of the cohesin complex in gammaH2AX foci formation. ChIP-seq of gammaH2AX was realized upon ATM or ATR inhibition to show that ATM is the major kinase that phosphorylates H2AX at clean breaks in human cells.
