Project description:The aim of the study was to identify RFX1 and RFX2 binding sites in mouse pancreatic beta cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments were performed with the mouse MIN6 beta cell line and antibodies raised against RFX1 and RFX3. Immunoprecipitated DNA was sequenced using the Genome Analyzer II (Illumina). Antibodies were described in Reith W, Ucla C, Barras E, Gaud A, Durand B, Herrero-Sanchez C, Kobr M, Mach B : RFX1, a transactivator of hepatitis B virus enhancer I, belongs to a novel family of homodimeric and heterodimeric DNA-binding proteins.

Project description:Purpose: This study was carried out to determine RFX1 or RFX2 or RFX3 binding sites in nuclei of multiciliated ependymal cells. Methods: DNA was extracted from ependymal cell cultures. ChIP-sequencing was used to determine the binding sites of RFX1 , RFX2 or RFX3.
Project description:Purpose: This study was carried out to determine the consequences of inactivating either Rfx1, or Rfx2 or Rfx3 on gene expression during differentiation of mouse multiciliated ependymal cells.
Project description:The aim of the study was to investigate whether the trefoil peptide genes, in concerted action with a miRNA regulatory network, were contributing to nutritional maintrenance. Using a Tff3 knock-out mouse model, 21 specific miRNAs were noted to be significantly deregulated when compared to the wild type strain.
