Chromatin remodellers Brg1 and Bptf are required for normal gene expression and progression of oncogenic Braf-driven mouse melanoma [RNA-seq]
We have used a mouse model where melanoma can be induced by Tamoxifen treatment that induces expression of oncogenic Braf and deletion of Pten in the melanocyte lineage using a Tyr::Cre-ER-T2 transgene to mediate recombination. Cells from these melanoma tumours were cultured in vitro and the effects of siRNA mediated silencing of transcription factors Mitf and Sox10 was performed and analysed by RNA-seq. We then crossed these mice with mice bearing floxed alleles of the genes encoding the chromatin remodelling factors Bptf and Brg1 (Smarca4). Tumour cells were grown in culture and Bptf or Brg1 inactivated by 4-OHT treatment. The effects on gene expression were assessed by RNA-seq. Overall design: Triplicate RNA-seq data for: Control siRNA, siMitf and siSox10. Triplicate RNA-seq data for 4-OHT control cells, 4OHT floxed Brg1 (Smarca4), 4-OHT floxed Bptf.
