Project description:This study takes an unbiased global analysis of super-enhancers that are acquired or lost in progression of breast cancer using the MCF10a progression series
Project description:MCF10A series is one of the few human models of breast tumor progression. A derivative of MCF10A cells is the MCFDCIS, which reproducibly forms comedo DCIS-like lesions that spontaneously progress to invasive tumors. We used this model to explore the relative importance of myoepithelial cells and stromal fibroblasts in the in situ to invasive breast carcinoma transition. We use Affymetrix 11K XbaI or 250K StyI SNP arrays to analyze the MCF10A series cells and MCFDCIS derived xenografts for copy number changes and LOH (loss of heterozygosity). Keywords: Cell line, xenografts of time course/co-injection groups, different cell types isolated from xenografts
Project description:TGF-betas have complex roles in tumorigenesis, with context-dependent effects that can either suppress or promote tumor progression. Our goal was to use integrated genomic approaches in a model of human breast cancer progression to identify core TGF-beta-regulated genes that specifically reflect the tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta. The model consisted of the non-tumorigenic MCF10A (“M1”), the premalignant MCF10AT1k.cl2 (“M2”), the early malignant MCF10Ca1h (“M3”) and the highly malignant, metastatic MCF10Ca1a.cl1 (“M4”) cell lines. We have previously shown that tumor suppressor activity of TGF-beta is dependent on Smad3, and is lost in M4 cells. To identify how TGF-beta/Smad3 targets change with cancer progression, we performed promoter-wide Smad3 ChIP-chip on all four cell lines of the breast cancer progression model (M1-M4), following treatment with TGF-beta or vehicle control.
Project description:To characterize genomic instability in breast cancer progression, we examined copy number loss and copy number gain in the MCF10A series of cell lines.
Project description:H3K27ac ChIP-Seq data of the T-ALL cell line LOUCY was obtained to find active regions in the genome and to correlate that with expression profiling of lncRNAs in the LOUCY cell line. ChIP-sequencing data was generated for H3K27ac in the T-ALL cell line LOUCY.
Project description:We performed ChIP-Seq against histones H3K4me3, H3K27me3, and H3K79me2 in MCF10A cells to identify transcription factors with bivalent and pseudo-bivalent epigenetic modifications.
