Basonuclin-1 modulates epithelial plasticity and TGF-β1-induced loss of epithelial cell integrity.
Specimen part, Cell line
View SamplesTGF-b1-stimulation induces an epithelial dedifferentiation-process, throughout which epithelial cell sheets disintegrate and gradually switch into fibroblastic-appearing cells (EMT-like transition). The purpose of these profiles was to identify differentially expressed genes that are regulated transcriptionally. Standard microarry-based gene expression profiles measure steady-state RNA but do not provide insight into underlying regulatory principles. NIAC-NTR-based gene expression profiling (Kenzelmann et al., PNAS, 2007) essentially enables the dissection of transcriptionally versus non-transcriptionally regulated genes within respective analysed time-frames. Briefly, NIAC-NTR relies on incorporation of 4sU (thio-uridine) into nascent RNA, which can subsequently be specifically isolated by custom-made columns. Total- and enriched (4sU-labeled) are then further processed for microarray gene expression profiling by standard procedures. This dataset complements previously released data of NIAC-NTR-based gene expression profiling of cells treated with TGF-b1 and 4sU for 2hrs [GSE23833].

View SamplesTGF-b1-stimulation induces an epithelial dedifferentiation-process, throughout which epithelial cell sheets disintegrate and gradually switch into fibroblastic-appearing cells (EMT-like transition). Several transcription factors, some of them being TGF-b1-responsive, are functionally involved in such a switch and affect epithelial differentiation and plasticity.

View SamplesThe Forkhead family of transcription factors comprises numerous members and is implicated in various cellular functions, including cell growth, apoptosis, migration and differentiation.In this study we identified the Forkhead factor FoxQ1 as increased in expression during TGF-beta1 induced changes in epithelial differentiation, suggesting functional roles of FoxQ1 for epithelial plasticity.The repression of FoxQ1 in mammary epithelial cells led to a change in cell morphology characterized by an increase in cell size, pronounced cell-cell contacts and an increased expression of several junction proteins (e.g. E-cadherin). In addition, FoxQ1 knock-down cells revealed rearrangements in the actin-cytoskeleton and slowed down cell cycle G1-phase progression.Furthermore, repression of FoxQ1 enhanced the migratory capacity of coherent mammary epithelial cells.Gene expression profiling of NM18 cells indicated that FoxQ1 is a relevant downstream mediator of TGF-beta1 induced gene expression changes. This included the differential expression of transcription factors involved in epithelial plasticity, e.g. Ets-1, Zeb1 and Zeb2.In summary, this study has elucidated the functional impact of FoxQ1 on epithelial differentiation

View SamplesWe identified Pparg as a major orchestrator of the phenotype of adipose-tissue resident regulatory T cells (VAT Tregs). To establish the role of Pparg in shaping the VAT Tregs gene profile and cell dynamics, Tregs from lymph nodes and visceral adipose tissue of mice sufficient and deficient of Pparg expression in Tregs were double sorted for microarray analysis.
