Project description:The goal of this experiment was to assess changes in 3D chromatin structure in mammary gland epithelial cell line (MCF10A) response to chemical stimuli via etoposide (DNA damage) or tunicamycin (ER stress). Micro-C method with a comprehensive promoter capture panel was used to increase resolution using the proprietary approach of Cantata/Dovetail Genomics
Project description:We performed RNA-seq to examine RNA expression profiles during MCF10A-ER-Src cell transformation and upon knockdowns of transcription factors
Project description:We cultured MCF10a-Snail-ER cells and induced EMT initiation with tamoxifen. A matched sequencing of their PolyA RNA was performed, using Illumina and direct RNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing technologies. Both generated datasets supported the development of hybrid bioinformatics tools.
Project description:Oncogenic levels of Myc expression sensitize cells to multiple apoptotic stimuli and this protects long-lived organisms from cancer development. How cells discriminate physiological from supra-physiological levels of Myc is largely unknown. Here we show that induction of apoptosis by Myc in breast epithelial cells requires association of Myc with Miz1. Gene expression and ChIP-sequencing experiments show that oncogenic levels of Myc, but not of MycV394D, a point mutant that does not bind Miz1, recruit Miz1 to core promoters and enable binding of Myc/Miz1 complexes to low-affinity target sites, correlating with repression of a specific set of target genes. Repressed genes encode proteins involved in cell adhesion, migration and wound healing; their promoters are enriched for binding sites of the serum response (SRF) factor. Restoring SRF activity attenuates Myc-induced apoptosis in response to glutamine starvation, exposure to Trail and to DNA damage. We propose that supra-physiological levels of Myc engage Miz1 in repressive DNA binding complexes and suppress transcriptional progress. MIZ1, MYC-ER and MYC-ERVD ChIP-Seq with 10E2 and HC20 anti-ERalpha antibodies in MCF10A cells, performed on an Illumina IIx Genome Analyzer. Input sample is accessioned as GSM1423726.

Project description:In these microarray experiments, we characterize the gene expression of mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A cells) grown in either a traditional monolayer cell culture setting (2D) or on Matrigel, which induces single MCF10A cells to form organized acinar structures (3D). Morphogenesis of mammary epithelial cells into organized acinar structures in vitro is accompanied by widespread changes in gene expression patterns, including a substantial decrease in expression of Myc. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of morphogenesis and organization on gene expression with respect to changes in overall gene expression and Myc target gene expression. MCF10A cells were cultured in 2D for either 2 or 5 days (3 biological replicates each) or in 3D for 8 or 16 days (3 or 5 biological replicates, respectively)
