View SamplesWe have here followed the transcriptional effect of stimulation with the phorbol ester PMA in mouse fibroblasts from HP1gamma null mice recomplemented with either wild-type HP1gamma or an HP1g with an S83A mutation Overall design: Spontaneously immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts from HP1gamma null mice were used to stably integrate either an empty expression vector, or expression vectors for either WT or S83A mutant HP1gamma. These cells were then stimulated with PMA for 0 or 60 min. and used for transcriptome analysis by Next Generation sequencing.
Shigella flexneri targets the HP1γ subcode through the phosphothreonine lyase OspF.

View SamplesGenome wide mRNA and miRNA profiling was performed in SH-SY5Y cells stably overexpressing wild type or mutant MIR204 or MIR618. Mutants came from a large scale genetic screening of brain expressed miRNA genes in patients with schizophrenia or idiopathic generalized epilepsy and in control individuals. Based on enrichment of the variants with the schizophrenic or epileptic phenotype and based on impact prediction, two variants, one near MIR204 (rs7861254) and one in MIR618 (rs2682818) were selected for functional validation. Genome wide profiling of mRNA (micro-array) and mature miRNAs (small RNA sequencing, submitted to SRA) was performed in the created stable cells to assess the effect of the variants and to investigate the function of these miRNA genes.

View SamplesTRIM24 and TRIM33 interact to form a corepressor complex that suppresses murine hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). TRIM24 and TRIM33 cooperatively repress retinoic acid receptor dependent activity of VL30 retro-transposons in hepatocytes in vivo. In TRIM24 knockout hepatocytes, VL30 long terminal repeats (LTRs) generate enhancer (e)RNAs and act as surrogate promoter and enhancer elements deregulating expression of neighbouring genes. We show that a VL30 LTR-derived eRNA is essential to activate the lipocalin 13 gene in hepatocytes in vivo. A further consequence of VL30 de-repression is the accumulation of retro-transcribed VL30 DNA in the cytoplasm of TRIM24-mutant hepatocytes and activation of the viral defence/interferon response. VL30 activation therefore modulates gene expression via the enhancer activity of the LTRs and by activation of the interferon response. Both of these processes are genetically linked to HCC development suggesting that VL30 repression by TRIM24 plays an important role in tumour suppression. Overall design: RNA profiles in liver of wild type (WT) and Trim24-/- mice by deep sequencing using Illumina GAIIx.
Trim24-repressed VL30 retrotransposons regulate gene expression by producing noncoding RNA.

View SamplesHere we show that in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) TRIM28 silences transcription of two groups of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): IAP1 and MMERVK10C. Derepression of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs was associated with a loss of H3K9me3 and resulted in transcriptional upregulation and reverse transcription. These findings demonstrate a unique dynamic transcriptional regulation of ERVs in NPCs. Overall design: Analysis of upregulation of ERVs in Trim28-deficient NPCs
TRIM28 represses transcription of endogenous retroviruses in neural progenitor cells.

View SamplesThe transcriptional coregulator Trim24 (formerly known as TIF1a) functions in mice as a liver-specific tumor suppressor. Mice carrying a null mutation in the Trim24 gene all develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Loss of Trim24 (Tif1alpha) gene function confers oncogenic activity to retinoic acid receptor alpha.

View SamplesRecent studies have suggested increased plasticity of differentiated cells within the intestine to act both as intestinal stem cells and tumour initiating cells. However, little is known of the processes that regulate this plasticity. Our previous work has shown that activating mutations of Kras or the NF-kB pathway can drive dedifferentiation of intestinal cells lacking Apc.
TGFβ pathway limits dedifferentiation following WNT and MAPK pathway activation to suppress intestinal tumourigenesis.
