ChIP-seq analysis to understand the mechanistic role of NCoR1 as a tolerogenic program suppressor in dendritic cells
We found in our study that NCoR1 knock down dendritic cells (DCs) develop tolerogenic behavior upon activation and these cells have the potential to modulate T helper cell differentiation toward Treg phenotype. Here to understand the mechanism of this process we performed NCoR1 ChIP-seq in wild type DCs before and after CpG ligand activation and transcriptome analysis of NCoR1 KD DCs to identify the direct and indirect target genes. We also predicted PU.1 as the recruting factor for NCoR1 in DCs based on motif enrichment and later on validated that by performing PU.1 ChIP-seq in control and NCoR1 KD DCs. Overall design: Mechanistic role of NCoR1 co-repressor in dendritic cell function
