Project description:Pax5, a transcription factor, is expressed exclusively in pro B cells. To understand the genes regulated by Pax5 in epithelial cells, we overexpressed Pax5 in lung cancer cell line A549 and examined the change of transcription profile using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarray (Agilent Technologies).
Project description:SpiB, an Ets family transcription factor, is expressed exclusively in mature B cells, T-cell progenitors, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. To understand the genes regulated by SpiB in epithelial cells, we overexpressed SpiB in lung cancer cell line A549 and examined the change of transcription profile using Agilent SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression 8x60K v2 Microarray (Agilent Technologies).
Project description:The goal of this study is to use RNA-sequencing to profile the transcriptional changes in A549 cells with SAMD9 overexpression by plasmid transfection. Specifically, we were interested in determining the interferons and chemokines induced by SAMD9 overexpression. We observed that each of the type III interferons and several pro-inflammatory cytokines such as CCL5 and CXCL10 were among the top induced genes following SAMD9 overexpression.
Project description:We found PAX5 to be overexpressed in human pancreatic islets of donors from donors with type 2 diabetes compared to islets from non-diabetic individuals. Functional follow-up showed that Pax5 overexpression in rat clonal beta-cells (832/13 INS1) results in impaired insulin secretion. Microarrays were used to investigate if overexpression of Pax5 alters the gene expression profile of 832/13 INS1 beta-cells.
Project description:Analysis of prostate adnocarcinoma cell line LNCaP cells overexpression pair box 5 (PAX5) for up to 4 days. The goals of this study are to compare PAX5 overexpression in LNCaP cell drives transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) changes.
Project description:Pax5 controls B-cell commitment, development and immunity by repressing B-lineage-inappropriate genes and activating B-cell-specific genes. In addition to the N-terminal DNA-binding paired domain, Pax5 contains a conserved octapeptide, partial homeodomain and C-terminal sequences with transactivating and inhibitory potential. To understand how the C-terminal domains of Pax5 contribute to the repression and activation function of Pax5, we performed Pax5 pulldown combined with mass spectrometry to identify coactivator or corepressor complexes that bind to the C-terminal regions of Pax5.
