Project description:We performed a CRISPR-based functional genetic screen targeting TEAD4 binding motif located within the YAP-bound enhancers. The screen identified seven functional enhancers whose targeting resulted in a marked negative effect on the proliferation of MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells (overexpressed constrictively activated YAP) but no significant effect on MCF10A (parental control) cells. We then carried out RNA-seq analysis on MCF10A-YAP-5SA cells transduced with sgRNA vectors targeting these seven enhancers (enhancers A, B, C, D, E, F, G) as well as the non-targeting sgRNA as control (NT).
Project description:To understand the direct target genes YAP transcription co-activator invovled with in gonome-wide levels, next generation sequencing was conducted in Flag-YAP-5SA overexpressing MCF10A cells using Flag (sigma) antibody.
Project description:Aim of the study was to elucidate YAP-regulated trophoblast-specific genes by analyzing differentially-expressed gene signatures between first trimester human cytotrophoblasts (vCTBs) transfected with a YAP-5SA mutant or a control plasmid.
Project description:To investigate whether YAP upregulates MYC via miRNA repression, we sequenced miRNAs from gastric epithelial cells (HFE-145) either expressed with vector or YAP-5SA.
