Genome-wide mapping and characterization of novel Notch-regulated long non-coding RNAs in acute leukemia Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from samples using the RNeasy Plus mini kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Samples were then subject to PolyA selection (Figures 1E, 5F and 5G only) using oligo-dT beads (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) or rRNA removal (all other samples) using the Ribo-Zero kit (Epicentre, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturers instructions. The resulting RNA samples were then used as input for library construction using the dUTP method as described by Parkhomchuck et al, 2009. RNA libraries were then sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 or 2500 using 50bp paired-end reads.

View SamplesMissense FBXW7 mutations are prevalent in various tumors, including T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). To study the effects of such lesions, we generated animals carrying regulatable Fbxw7 mutant alleles. We show here that these mutations specifically bolster cancer-initiating cell activity in collaboration with Notch1 oncogenes, but spare normal hematopoietic stem cell function. We were also able to show that FBXW7 mutations specifically affect the ubiquitylation and half-life of c-Myc protein, a key T-ALL oncogene. Using animals carrying c-Myc fusion alleles, we connected Fbxw7 function to c-Myc abundance and correlated c-Myc expression to leukemia-initiating activity.

View SamplesExpression data from untreated or Dll4-Fc treated THP1 cell line. We used Dll4-Fc stimulation of AML cells to study whether Notch activation has an impact on AML. We analyzed THP1 cell line in vitro treated with Dll4-Fc or vehicle control to determine genes affected by Notch activation.

View SamplesTo determine role of Notch signaling in AML leukemia initiating cells we used a conditional mouse knock-in model of Notch1-IC to induce Notch1-IC expression in MLL-AF9 transformed LGMP. WT and Notch1-IC+ LGMP were analyzed to determined genes controlled by Notch signaling.

View SamplesBET-regulated transcriptome and BRD4, BRD2, BRD3 and Pol II ChIP-seq datasets in human ESCs before and after BET inhibition. Transcription factors and chromatin remodeling complexes are key determinants of embryonic stem cell (ESC) identity. In this study, we investigate the role of BRD4, a member of the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family of epigenetic reader proteins, in control of ESC identity. We performed RNA-seq analyiss in the presense of small molecule inhibitors of BET proteins to show that BRD4 positively regulates the ESC transcriptome. We also integrated RNA-seq analysis with ChIP-sequencing datasets s for BRD4 (and for other BRD2 and BRD3) to demonstrate that BRD4 binds SEs and regulates the expression of SE-associated pluripotency genes. We have also conducted ChIP-seq analysis for Pol II binding to demonstrate that SE-associated genes depend on BRD4-dependent Pol II binding at TSS and gene body for their productive transcriptional elongation. Overall design: Total RNA was extracted from samples using the RNeasy Qiagen kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Deep sequencing of RNA (1ug) from hESCs FGF- or MS436-treated at day 1 and day 5 was performed as described in (Higgin et al., 2010c). Samples were subjected to PolyA selection using magnetic oligo-dT beads. The resulting RNA samples were then used as input for library construction as described by the manufacturer (Illumina, CA, USA). RNA libraries were then sequenced on the GAIIx system using 50bp single reads. Chromatin for ChIP-sequencing was obtained from FGF-maintained hESCs, vehicle or MS417-treated (at 250nM concentration for 6h) (10 to 20x106 cells/IP). ChIP-Seq libraries were generated using standard Illumina kit and protocol as described in (Ntziachristos et al., 2012). We performed cluster amplification and single read 50 sequencing-method using the Illumina HiSeq 2000, following manufacturer’s protocols.

View SamplesT-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an immature hematopoietic malignancy driven mainly by oncogenic activation of NOTCH1 signaling. In this study we abrogated the expression of JMJD3 (KDM6B) and UTX (KDM6A) H3K27me3 demethylases in human T-ALL lines and assayed for genome-wide expression changes using RNA sequencing. This piece of data was further integrated to ChIP-Sequencing analysis of H3K27me3 from the same treatment as well as H3K27me3 and JMJD3 genome-wide analysis from treatment of T-ALL lines with the GSKJ4 inhibitor. These results, coupled to genomic analysis of primary samples for the genomic status of the UTX gene in T-ALL, helped us to identify a hitherto unknown role of JMJD3as an oncogenice facilitator in leukemia whereas UTX seems to play a tumor suppressor role. Overall design: Whole RNA was extracted from 1-5 million T-ALL (lines) cells or primary cells using the RNAeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Poly-A+ (magnetic oligodT-containing beads (Invitrogen)) or Ribominus RNA was used for library preparation. cDNA preparation and strand-specific library construction was performed using the dUTP method. Libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 using 50bp single-read method. Differential gene expression analysis was performed for each matched knockdown vs control pairs, separately in each biological or technical replicate in each of two cell lines (CUTLL1, CEM). Three types of comparisons were tested: (a) JMJD3 knockdown vs Renilla, (b) JMJD3 knockdown vs UTX knockdown, and (c) UTX knockdown vs Renilla. Analysis was performed using both DEGseq and Cufflinks packages leading to very similar conclusions.

In this study we chemically inhibited the H3K27me3 demethylase JMJD3 using the GSKJ4 inhibitor and assayed for genome-wide changes in H3K27me3 and JMJD3 enrichment. This piece of data was further integrated to expression changes using RNA sequencing as well as ChIP-Sequencing analysis of H3K27me3 upon genomic knock-down of JMJD3 and UTX. These results, coupled to genomic analysis of primary samples for the genomic status of the UTX gene in T-ALL, helped us to identify a hitherto unknown role of JMJD3 as an oncogenice facilitator in leukemia whereas UTX seems to play a tumor suppressor role. Overall design: Whole RNA was extracted from 1-5 million primary cells from CUTLL1 human T cell leukemia cells untreated or treated with 2micromolar GSKJ4 using the RNAeasy kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol.
