Project description:We previously identified C/EBPβ as an inhibitor of myogenic differentiation and a regulator of muscle satellite cell self-renewal. We found that C/EBPβ is regulated during the transition from proliferation to growth arrest in myoblasts and overexpression of C/EBPβ in myoblasts promotes cell growth arrest in vitro and improves engraftment of satellite cells into the stem cell niche in vivo. To identify the molecular mechanism by which C/EBPβ regulates myoblast proliferation and growth arrest, we performed RNA-seq on C/EBPβ-overexpressing myoblasts.
Project description:Knockdown of PRDM2 led to precocious differentiation. To understand the molecular basis for this phenotype, we performed microaary analysis of growing myoblasts. Genes differentially regulated by PRDM2 knock down were reveraled by microarray analysis using NIA15K mouse chips. Control and knock down cells were grown in proliferating conditions

Project description:GATA4 occupancy on the mouse genome of satellite cell-derived primary myoblasts. Proliferating myoblasts cultured in growth medium were immunoprecipitated with anti-GATA4 antibody or control IgG. Precipitated genomic DNAs were subjected to next generation sequencing.
