Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE40734: The effect on gene expression of Smchd1 deletion in primary MEFs, transformed MEFs and MEF tumours GSE40879: The effect on gene expression of Smchd1 deletion in pre-B cells from E17.5 Eµ-Myc embryos GSE40880: The effect on gene expression of Smchd1 deletion in end stage lymphomas GSE40881: The effect on gene expression of Smchd1 deletion in premalignant pre-B cells Refer to the individual subSeries. NOTE: all the cell types need to be analyzed separately.
Project description:Smchd1 appears to act as a tumour suppressor in the Eµ-Myc B cell lymphoma model. We find gene expression differences are most pronounced in the premalignant cells, and observe more variability in end stage lymphomas. We always detect a small number of clustered genes and imprinted genes as differentially expressed, along with others involved in tumorigenesis. The microarrays compared Smchd1 null and Smchd1 wildtype samples from end stage lymphomas. All lymphomas are on the C57BL/6 background and carry the Eµ-Myc transgene, and Smchd1 null samples are additionally homozygous for a Smchd1 genetrap allele.
