ABSTRACT: Global analysis of in vivo EGR1-binding sites in erythroleukemia cell K562 using chromatin immunoprecipitation and massively parallel sequencing
Project description:Early growth response gene 1 (EGR1) has been implicated in megakaryocyte differentiation induced by PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate). The identification of direct EGR1 target genes in global scale is critical for our understanding of how EGR1 contributes to this process. In this study, we provide a global survey on the binding location of EGR1 in the K562 cell treated by PMA using chromatin immunoprecipitation and massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq). K562 is a human erythroleukemia cell line, which is situated in the common progenitor stage of megakaryocytic and erythroid lineages of the hematopoietic stem cell differentiation and its normally following differentiation is blockaded. Upon exposure to PMA stimuli, K562 cell can be induced into megakaryocytic cell, which provides a model for the study of transcriptional control networks. Over 14 000 highly confident in vivo EGR1 binding sites were identified in PMA treated K562 cell. More than 70% of these genomic sites associated with EGR1 binding were located around annotated gene regions. This whole genome study on the EGR1 targets may help a better understanding of the EGR1 regulated genes and the downstream pathway in megakaryocyte differentiation. The in vivo binding locations of EGR1 in K562 cell treated with PMA (phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, 10 ng/ml for 2 hours) were identified using chromatin immunoprecipitation combing with massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) based on AB SOLiD System 2.0.

Project description:Forkhead box A2 (FOXA2) is a critical regulator of endometrial gland development in mice. In the adult mouse uterus, FOXA2 is expressed solely in the GE cells of the endometrium. Conditional deletion of Foxa2 after birth in the uterus, using the progesterone receptor Cre mouse (PgrCre), impeded gland development, thereby rendering the adult mouse infertile due to defects in blastocyst implantation stemming from a lack of endometrial glands and their secretions. As a first step to begin understanding the FOXA2 function in the endometrial glands of the uterus, genome-wide investigation of in vivo FOXA2 and RNA polymerase II (POL2) binding target regions in the neonatal and adult uterus was determined by chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq). In order to determine the transcriptional regulatory networks mediating FOXA2 regulation of endometrial gland development and function, chromatin immunoprecipitation and massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was used to create a genome-wide profile of in vivo FOXA2-binding sites in the developing (PD 12) and adult (DOPP 2.5 and 3.5) mouse uterus.
Project description:Active sites of transcription were labelled with biotinylated nucleotide during a run-on reacation, where after an immunoprecipitation with antibodies that target Pol II CTD was conducted. This PRO-IP-seq protocol was conducted in human K562 erythroleukemia cells. The K562 cells were either untreated (NHS) or treated with 30 minutes of heat shock at 42°C (HS).
Project description:As HBx has been reported to interact with p53 and alter the recruitment of p53 to its binding sites, we obtained a comprehensive genome-wide profile of deregulated p53 transcription complex-DNA binding by the HBx protein using massively parallel deep sequencing coupled to p53 chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-Seq) on HBx-expressing and control HepG2 liver cell culture model system.
