Project description:RNA-seq analysis of Huh7 cells after MAT2A inhibitor (FIDAS-5) or BET bromodomain inhibitor (JQ1) treatment. The analysis revealed that inhibition of MAT2A or BET factors suppresses the expression of genes regulating cell cycle progression and additional cellular programs.
Project description:We obtained transcriptomic profiles in bovine morulae which had been in vitro treated with a methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) inhibitor from the 8-16 cell stage.
Project description:Epigenetic dysregulation plays a pivotal role in MLL pathogenesis, therefore serving as suitable therapeutic point of attack. SAM is the universal methyl donor in human cells and is synthesized by MAT2A. MAT2A is already known to be deregulated in different cancer types. Here, we used our human CRISPR/Cas9-MLLr leukemia model, faithfully mimicking MLL patients’ pathology with indefinite growth potential in in vitro culture, to evaluate the unknown role of MAT2A as therapeutic target. Comparable to publicly available patient data, we detected MAT2A to be significantly overexpressed in our CRISPR/Cas9-MLLr model compared to healthy controls. By using non-MLLr and MLLr cell lines and our model, we detected an MLLr specific enhanced response to PF-9366, a new MAT2A inhibitor, by alteration of proliferation, viability, differentiation, apoptosis and cell cycling. Moreover, the combinational treatment of PF-9366 with chemotherapy or targeted therapies against the SAM-dependent methyltransferases DOT1L and PRMT5, revealed even more pronounced effects. In summary, we uncovered MAT2A as a key regulator in MLL leukemogenesis and its inhibition led to significant anti-leukemic effects. Therefore, our study paves the avenue for clinical application of PF-9366 to improve the treatment of poor prognosis MLLr leukemia.

Project description:We obtained genome-wide profiles of histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in bovine morula which had been in vitro treated with a methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) inhibitor from the 8-16 cell stage.

Project description:Colon cancer cell lines with partial sensitivity to the BRAF inhibitor PLX4720 were grown in increasing concentration of the drug to develop acquired resistance. Gene expression was performed for comparison of the resistant clones to the parental lines.
