Project description:Illumina BeadChip array analyses of mouse embryonic stem cell gene expression profiles in the presence of or upon knockdown of 4 candidate factors regulating genomic integrity -- Chek1, Ppm1g, Ppp2r1b and Bub1b. An ES complementation 'rescue' system was employed to measure the effects of knockdown (minus Dox). The 4 candidate factors are rescued to wildtype levels in the presence of Dox (plus Dox). A control rescue ES cell line, with a Luciferase-targeting shRNA, was also assessed.
Project description:This dataset consists of 1 raw MS file and associated peak list and result file, acquired on an Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer operated in Data Dependent Acquisition mode. The files are associated with a manuscript submitted for publication. Publication title: "JAK2-CHK2 signaling safeguards the integrity of the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint and genome stability"
Project description:Mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells are locked into self-renewal by shielding from inductive cues. Release from this ground state in minimal conditions offers a system for delineating developmental progression from naive pluripotency. Here we examined the initial transition process. The ES cell population behaves asynchronously. We therefore exploited a short-half-life Rex1::GFP reporter to isolate cells either side of exit from naive status. Differentiation of Rex1-GFPd2 ES cells was initiated by withdrawing 2i (Kalkan et al., 2016). Undifferentiated 2i-cells and post-2i withdrawal differentiating populations (16h, 25h-Rex1-High, 25h-Rex1-Low) were subjected to proteomic analysis by Mass Spectrometry.
Project description:Recent evidence suggests that lncRNAs play an integral regulatory role in numerous functions, including determination of cellular identity. We determined global expression (RNA-seq) and genome wide profiles (ChIP-seq) of histone post-translational modifications and p53 binding in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) undergoing differentiation to define a high-confidence set of 40 lncRNAs, which are p53 transcriptional targets. We focused on lncRNAs, highly expressed in pluripotent hESCs and repressed by p53 during differentiation, to identify lncPRESS1 as a p53-regulated transcript that maintains hESC pluripotency in concert with core pluripotency factors. RNA-seq of hESCs depleted of lncPRESS1 revealed that lncPRESS1 controls a gene network that promotes pluripotency. Further, we found that lncPRESS1 physically interacts with SIRT6 to prevent SIRT6 chromatin localization and maintain high levels of histone H3K56 and H3K9 acetylation at promoters of pluripotency genes. In summary, we describe a novel pluripotency-specific lncRNA that safeguards the hESC state by disrupting SIRT6 activity
