ChIP-Seq of CBFA2T3 (ETO2) in CD34+ HSPC and AML cells

ETO2 (CBFA2T3) functions as a transcriptional corepressor, which can directly bind to E-protein family of transcriptional factors. Translocation of ETO2 has been implicated in multiple leukemogenic pathways. ETO2 also plays an important role in self-renewal, proliferation, and expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs). Here we report the genomic binding sites of ETO2 in human cord-blood derived CD34+ HSPCs, Kasumi-1 t(8;21) AML cells, and U937 AML cells. All ChIP-Seq assays were performed with an ETO2 specific antibody that does not recognize other ETO/MTG family proteins (ETO or MTGR1). Overall design: Chromatin immunoprecipitation using anti-ETO2 antibody followed by deep sequencing in three cell lines (normal CD34+ HSPCs and two different AML cells).
