Project description:Chromosomal aberrations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as inv(3) and t(3;3), lead to deregulation of the EVI1 oncogene by the GATA2 distal hematopoietic enhancer (G2DHE). In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. We identified PARP1 as an interactor of G2DHE-associated transcription factors. In this dataset, we studied the interaction of genomic loci between the EVI1 promoter and G2DHE by 4C-Seq in the 3q-rearranged AML cell line MUTZ-3 treated with the PARP1 inhibitors olaparib, talazoparib or the DMSO vehicle control for 24 h.

In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. In silico and in vitro analyses revealed that binding sites for CEBPA are critical for G2DHE function. Here, we used ChIP-Seq to show association of the CEBPA transcription factor with the G2DHE sequence in the 3q-rearranged cell line MOLM-1

In this project, we aimed to study the transcription factor complexes involved in the regulation of the G2DHE sequence. We have identified PARPi as a member of the G2DHE complex. Here, we used RNA-Seq to analyze transcriptomic changes after PARP inhibition with olaparib and talazoparib and to compare those to EVI1 knockdown.
