FOXA1 defines cancer cell specificity.
A transcription factor functions differentially and/or identically in multiple cell types. However, the mechanism for cell-specific regulation of a transcription factor remains to be elucidated. We address how a single transcription factor, forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1), forms cell-specific genomic signatures and differentially regulates gene expression in four human cancer cell lines (HepG2,...
متن کاملCell-type selective chromatin remodeling defines the active subset of FOXA1-bound enhancers.
Selective activity of a specific set of enhancers defines tissue-specific gene transcription. The pioneer factor FOXA1 has been shown to induce functional enhancer competency through chromatin openings. We have previously found that FOXA1 is recruited to thousands of regions across the genome of a given cell type. Here, we monitored the chromatin structure at FOXA1 binding sites on a chromosome...
متن کاملCD271 Defines a Stem Cell-Like Population in Hypopharyngeal Cancer
Cancer stem cells contribute to the malignant phenotypes of a variety of cancers, but markers to identify human hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) stem cells remain poorly understood. Here, we report that the CD271(+) population sorted from xenotransplanted HPCs possesses an enhanced tumor-initiating capability in immunodeficient mice. Tumors generated from the CD271(+) cells contained both CD271(+) a...
متن کاملDynamic DNA methylation landscape defines brown and white cell specificity during adipogenesis
OBJECTIVE DNA methylation may be a stable epigenetic contributor to defining fat cell lineage. METHODS We performed reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS) and RNA-seq to depict a genome-wide integrative view of the DNA methylome and transcriptome during brown and white adipogenesis. RESULTS Our analysis demonstrated that DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic signature for brown...
متن کاملTumor and Stem Cell Biology Androgen Receptor-Independent Function of FoxA1 in Prostate Cancer Metastasis
FoxA1 (FOXA1) is a pioneering transcription factor of the androgen receptor (AR) that is indispensible for the lineage-specific gene expression of the prostate. To date, there have been conflicting reports on the role of FoxA1 in prostate cancer progression and prognosis. With recent discoveries of recurrent FoxA1 mutations in human prostate tumors, comprehensive understanding of FoxA1 function...
