Project description:RNA-seq analysis were applied to elucidate the transcriptional differences of PHF8 wild-type and PHF8 knockout TRAMP mouse. A total of 2,092 differentially expressed genes (Fold Change > 2, or Fold Change<0.5; FDR < 0.05) with 623 down- and 1469 up-regulated genes were identifed in Phf8-KO TRAMP mice.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global programme gene expression of Phf8 knock out and wild type mice Different expression profile were compared between Phf8 knock out and wild type mice
Project description:Phf8 is a histone demethylase with links to human behavior. Here we have performed a transcriptional analysis of Phf8 knockout embryonic stem and neural projenitor cells in vitro along with an analysis of the prefrontal cortex and ventral striatum in vivo. Our results suggest that knockout of Phf8 is largely compensated for. However, we did observe a misregulation of serotonin receptors in the prefrontal cortex, which may have disease implications.
Project description:RNA-seq analysis were applied to elucidate the transcriptional differences between 786-O cell lines transfected with control-sgRNA (Control) and PHF8-sgRNA (PHF8-KO). A total of 3575 differentially expressed genes (Fold Change > 2, or Fold Change<0.5; FDR < 0.05) with 2097 down- and 1478 up-regulated genes were identified in PHF8-KO 786-O cells
Project description:PHF8 exerts distinct functions in different types of cancer. However, the mechanisms underlying its specific functions in each case remain obscure. To establish whether overexpression of PHF8 regulates the TGF-β induced the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), we treated MCF10A-Mock (control) and MCF10A-PHF8wt (overexpressing wild-type PHF8) cells with TGF-β1 for 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours and performed RNA-seq in biological duplicates. Our data indicated that EMT gene signatures were significantly enriched in MCF10A-PHF8 cells with TGF-β1 treatment at all time points, strongly indicating that PHF8 overexpression induces a sustained EMT signaling program.
