Project description:We conducted genome-wide bisulfite sequencing analysis of the follicular lymphoma cell line RL and found that a large amount of methylated genes are polycomb target genes in ES cells. We therefore conducted a ChIP-chip experiment to determine the methylated genes that are bound by the polycomb protein Suz12. Although 28% of MRIs are PRC2 target genes in ES cells, our ChIP-on-Chip analysis showed that only 13% of MRIs are associated with H3K27Me3 marks and only 5% of the MRIs are bound by Suz12 in RL cells in vivo.

Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
