Project description:The transcription factor Ikaros represses Notch signaling. Since Ikaros and Notch treanscriptional mediator RBPJ both recognize sequences that contain the same core TGGGAA motif, it was hypothesized that Ikaros represses Notch signaling by targeting Notch response elements and competing with RBPJ for their binding. Here we used the mouse T-cell leukemia cell line T29 to compare the genomic binding profiles of Ikaros and RBPJ by ChIP-seq. The T29 cell line is derived from a Ikaros-deficient T-cell leukemia (Dumortier et al, MCB 26, 209-220, 2006) and exhibits strong Notch activation. We performed two chip-seq experiments with an anti-RBPJ antibody to map RBPJ binding sites. To map Ikaros binding sites, we engineered a T29-derived cell line that expresses a fusion protein between Ikaros and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor (Ik1-ER) which is activated by addition of 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen (4OHT). We used an anti-Ikaros antibody to map the sites bound by Ik1-ER after treatment of the cells with 4OHT. Sequencing were performed with the Illumina GAII sequencer as as single end 36 base pair reads.

Project description:The mouse Ikaros-deficient thymic lymphoma cell line T29 was transduced with an empty retrovirus (MigR1) or a retrovirus expressing an fusion proein between Ikaros1 and the ligand binding domain of the estrogen receptor. Cells trreated with ethanol or 4-hydroxy-tamoxyfen (4OHT) for 24h were profiled. We used expression of an inducible ersion of the Ikaros protein in an Ikaros-deficient cell line to identify Ikaros-regulated genes
Project description:IKAROS is an important tumor suppressor in human pre-B ALL and is mutated or deleted in a high percentage of human BCR-ABL1+ (Ph+) pre-B ALL. We here report the genome-wide binding of IKAROS in two independent patient-derived BCR-ABL1+ (Ph+) pre-B ALL xenograft cells that express wild type full-length IKAROS.
Project description:Ikaros DNA binding proteins are important regulators of haematopoiesis and genetic deletion of Ikaros results in severe developmental disturbances, including delayed thymocyte differentiation and an early and complete block in B cell development. Although Ikaros ChIP-seq data are available for mouse thymocytes and human haematopoietic progenitors, it has not been achieved in B cell progenitors. The goal of this study was to identify Ikaros binding sites in pre-B cells to define Ikaros target genes which could explain the essential role of Ikaros proteins in B cell differentiation. We carried out chromatin immunoprecipitation and high throughput sequencing (ChIP-seq) with antibodies to the C-terminus of endogenous Ikaros in B3 cells and with anti-haemagglutinin (HA) in B3 cells transduced with epitope-tagged HA-Ikaros.
