Global enrichment of FoxM1 bound chromatin in Huh7 cell line

FoxM1 is an oncogenic transcription factor that has been linked to the genesis and progression of cancer. FoxM1 not only upregulates cell proliferation and survival genes, but also represses tumor suppressor genes according to our prior study. This ChIP-Seq is a part of our endeveavor to creat a map of the FoxM1 occupied chromatin area in order to better understand the FoxM1 role in tumorigenesis. We present the results of a high-throughput profile of Chromatine alteration in mammalian cells using ChIP-Seq. We developed genome-wide chromatin-state maps of the human HCC cell line Huh7 by extracting approximately 3 billion bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA in approxiamtoly 33 million reads. We discovered that FoxM1 successfully distinguishes between expressed, stably repressed and poised genes and therefore reflect cell state and lineage potential. This research lays the groundwork for using extensive chromatin profiling to characterize the genes controlled by the oncogeneic transcription factor FoxM1 and their role in the development of FoxM1-induced cancers. Overall design: Chromatin occupancy of oncogenic transcription factor FoxM1 in Huh7-HCC line is genererated in this study
