Project description:Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is an incurable hematopoietic stem cell malignancy. We identified a novel NUP98-HBO1 fusion from a patient with CMML. HBO1, a histone acetyltransferase (HAT) which belongs to the MYST family, is the first NUP98 fusion partner encodes HAT. To determine the effect of the NUP98-HBO1 fusion on downstream target gene regulation, we performed gene expression array analysis of NUP98-HBO1-transduced human cord blood (CB) CD34+ cells.
Project description:10X single cell analysis of human leukemia, pre-leukemia and normal control. The leukemia was developed in xenograft mice that was serialy transplanted with cells from primary mouse that was transplanted with normal cord blood after transduction with virues encoding hyper activated mutant IL7RA. The preleukemic cells are from the primary engrafted mouse and the control is the same cord blood that was transduced with backbone virus expressing GFP.
Project description:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
