And we also clarified direct target genes of FOXP3 in human cancer cells. Recently we identified that MOF, a histone acetyltransferase, can be a FOXP3's molecular partner to regulate target gene expression. We conducted a microarray analysis using MCF7 cell, a human breast cancer cell line, with FOXP3-tet-off system with and without MOF knock down before and after FOXP3 overexpression. After 48 hrs of RNAi treatments in MCF7 cells, FOXP3 was overexpressed and those cells were cultured for additional 48 hrs. Total RNA were extracted using Qiagen's RNeasy column and were applied to Affymetrix Human U133 Plus 2.0 array according to the manufacture's protocol.&lt;/text&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">array platform comparison</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">co-expression</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">individual genetic characteristics</category><pubDate>Sat, 26 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>E-MTAB-1015 - Genome-wide Analysis of Sp2 Occupancy and Expression Profiling Establish Sp2 as a Sequence-specific Transcription Factor Regulating Fundamental Cellular Processes - Expression Profiling</title><link>http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1015</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1015</guid><description>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;text&gt;Mouse embyronic fibroblasts (MEFs) were depleted for transcription factor Specificity Factor 2 (Sp2) via Cre-Recombinase, harvested either 7 days or several weeks post infection and their expression profile compared to mock-infected MEFs.&lt;/text&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">genetic modification</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">reference</category><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>E-MTAB-994 - ChIP-seq of Sp2 in wild type and deltaSp2 mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293</title><link>http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-994</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-994</guid><description>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;text&gt;Genome-wide Analysis of Sp2 Occupancy and Expression Profiling Establish Sp2 as a Sequence-specific Transcription Factor Regulating Fundamental Cellular Processes - ChIPseq&lt;/text&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">binding site identification</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">genetic modification</category><pubDate>Thu, 24 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>E-MTAB-1143 - The Pdx1 Cistrome of Pancreatic Islets</title><link>http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1143</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1143</guid><description>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;text&gt;We performed global location analysis of Pdx1 occupancy in mouse and human islets.&lt;/text&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">high throughput sequencing</category><pubDate>Wed, 23 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>E-MTAB-1136 - MicroRNA profiling by array of human osteosarcoma and their normal bone counterpart</title><link>http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1136</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-1136</guid><description>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;text&gt;Profiling array: in order to investigate the microRNAs differentially expressed between osteosarcoma and their normal bone counterpart.

HIFs are heterodimers of a HIF alpha and a HIF beta subunit. HIF alpha protein stability is regulated by oxygen-dependent proteasomal degradation, and hence HIFs are strongly stabilized in hypoxia.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Purpose of the study: a number of HIF1 ChIP-chip studies have been reported, employing various cell types, array platforms and HIF antibodies, and the overlap of HIF binding locations in these studies is relatively small. The aim of this study was to characterize HIF1 binding in an additional cell line (HeLa), and employing a different HIFalpha antibody.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Experimental design: We conducted a total of six hybridizations employing four biological replicates. For two biological replicates, we performed dye-swap technical replicate experiments.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Results summary: We identified 55 HIF binding locations in HeLa cells (FDR&amp;lt;2%). While this number is relatively low compared to previous studies, presumably due to limiting antibody sensitivity, the overlap with data from other cell lines is comparable to our HeLa data.&lt;/text&gt;</description><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">binding site identification</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">dye swap</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">reference</category><category domain="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress">stimulus or stress</category><pubDate>Sun, 20 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>E-MEXP-3635 - Transcriptomic Assay of CD8 2012-05-15</title><link>http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MEXP-3635</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MEXP-3635</guid><description>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;text&gt;In this study, Genome-wide transcriptomes of CD8+ T cells from HCV/HIV co-infected or mono-infected treatment-naïve individuals were analyzed by using microarray assays.

MiR-145 is upregulated in pulmonary arterial hypertension in humans and female mice.  It has been observed that miR-145 knock out mice have reduced vascular remodelling in response to hypoxia.  Therefore, knock down of miR-145 could be used as a therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension in humans.  This microarray has helped us to elucidate some of the pathways in the miR-145 knock out mice that may protect against vascular remodelling.   Wild type (WT) mice and homozygous miR-145 -/- female mice (strain C57BL6J/129SVEV) at 8 weeks old were exposed to chronic hypoxia for 2 weeks or maintained in normoxic conditions and pulmonary arteries were dissected at 10 weeks of age.

Upon adoptive transfer the fate of CCR9- pDC-like precursors is governed by the tissues they enter. In the bone marrow and liver most transferred CCR9- pDC-like precursors differentiate into CCR9+ pDCs, whereas in peripheral lymphoid organs, lung and intestine they can give rise to CCR9+ pDCs and cDCs. Thus, CCR9- pDC-like cells are novel CDP-derived circulating DC precursors with pDC and cDC potential, whose final differentiation depends on tissue-specific factors allowing adaptation to local requirements.

The mutation causes a transcriptional activation defect on many PPARγ target genes, while some genes are induced normally. A small number of non-PPARγ target genes are induced by the E157D mutant, possibly leading to the atypical features in this cohort. mRNA was amplified from total RNA collected from NIH-3T3 cells expressing either wild-type or E157D PPARγ through lentiviral infection.

Leukemias were more similar to each other than to B and T cells but were considerably more heterogeneous than non-leukemic controls. Some differences were patient-specific while others were found in all leukemic samples, potentially representing early epigenetic events. Differences encompassed large segments of chromosomes and included genes implicated in other types of cancer. Remarkably, differences that distinguished leukemias aligned in register to the boundaries of developmentally regulated replication timing domains that distinguish normal cell types. Most changes did not coincide with copy number variation or translocations. However, many of the changes that were associated with translocations in some leukemias were also shared between all leukemic samples independent of the genetic lesion, suggesting that they precede and possibly predispose chromosomes to the translocation. Altogether, our results identify sites of abnormal developmental control of DNA replication in cancer that reveal the significance of replication timing boundaries to chromosome structure and function and support the replication domain model of replication timing regulation. They also open new avenues of investigation into the chromosomal basis of cancer and provide a potential novel source of epigenetic cancer biomarkers. Four karyotypically normal B-lymphoblastoid cell types with two replicates each, one peripheral T-lymphoblast replicate, 3 leukemic cell lines with 1-3 replicates each, 17 patient samples with 1-3 replicates each (total of 40 individual replicates)&lt;/text&gt;</description><pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
