Project description:The transcription factor ETS2 was identified as a hub gene that promotes osteoclast differentiation during the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Virtual perturbation and in vitro perturbation experiments demonstrated that knockdown of ETS2 can inhibit osteoclast differentiation. Transcriptional regulatory network analysis and combined CUT&Tag with ATAC-seq analysis results indicate that ETS2 promotes osteoclast differentiation by targeting and enhancing the expression of CEBPB.
Project description:HIF2A(EPAS1) geenome_wide localization by Cut & Tag in MRC5 human fibroblasts ectopically expressing HIF2A in the pBabe vector, and in control MRC5 human fibroblasts containing only the pBabe vector. 2 biological replicates were done for the MRC5-HIF2A cells. Cut & Tag with an anti-H3-K27me3 Ab was done as a positive control for the Cut & Tag experiments.
Project description:We developed scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag, a streamlined method by adapting a modified CUT&Tag protocol to Oxford Nanopore sequencing platform for efficient chromatin modification profiling at single-cell resolution. We firstly tested the performance of scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag on six human cell lines: K562, 293T, GM12878, HG002, H9, HFF1 and adult mouse blood cells, it showed that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag can accurately distinguish different cell types in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag enables to effectively map the allele-specific epigenomic modifications in the human genome andallows to analyze co-occupancy of histone modifications. Taking advantage of long-read sequencing,scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag can sensitively detect epigenomic state of repetitive elements. In addition, by applying scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag to testicular cells of adult mouse B6D2F1, we demonstrated that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag maps dynamic epigenetic state changes during mouse spermatogenesis. Finally, we exploited the epigenetic changes of human leukemia cell line K562 during DNA demethylation, it showed that NanoSeq-CUT&Tag can capture H3K27ac signals changes along DNA demethylation. Overall, we prove that scNanoSeq-CUT&Tag is a valuable tool for efficiently probing chromatin state changes within individual cells.
Project description:Npas4 CUT&Tag dataset, Adult male WT C57BL/6J mice underwent discriminative fear conditioning and immediately injected saline. 90 minutes after fear conditioning, The amygdala tissue was extracted for further experiment. Npas4 CUT&Tag was performed to elucidate possible downstream targets which contributes regulation of fear expression during fear retreival.
Project description:We performed the cleavage under targets and tagmentation (Cut & tag) assay followed by sequencing enriched DNA fragments to reveal the direct downstream targets of Pbx1. Firstly, we overexpressed Pbx1b with Pbx1b-IRES-GFP retrovirus in murine peripheral B cells to ensure the yields of DNA fragments. CUT & tag libraries were generated following instructions of the manufacturer’s protocol (Vazyme; cat TD901-01) and the Pbx1 antibody (CST; cat 4342) was used for signal enrichment.
