Michael Witcher's laboratory

Research Overview
 
Epigenetics is defined as molecular factors that regulate regulate genome activity, independently of DNA sequence. This includes histone modification, DNA methylation and non-coding RNAs. In our lab we study epigenetic defects in breast and ovarian cancers. Through understanding how such aberrations give rise to cancer, we can gain critical insights allowing us to develop new therapeutic approaches to treat these diseases.

We incorporate both classical and cutting edge technologies to examine genome wide epigenetic reprogramming in cancer and develop new small molecule inhibitors targeting epigenetic processes. These techniques include, Chromatin-IP, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, laser micro-irradiation, Mass Spectrometry, CRISPR-Cas9, and animal models of cancer.
 
Switches


We think that cancer cells develop a signaling network connecting the micro-environment to chromatin regulators, resulting in epigenetic reprogramming.

Research

Specific projects in the lab
1. Understanding the consequences of CTCF dysfunction in cancer
Michael Witcher 1

CTCF is a multi-functional, master- regulator of the human genome. It may be functionally inactivated in cancer via several mechanisms including; 1) Deletion 2) Mutation 3) loss of the post-translational modification poly (ADP-ribosylation) 4) Mutation of its DNA binding sites. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We aim to explore the epigenetic and transcriptional consequences of these defects. Unexpectedly, we have established a new role for CTCF in the repair of double strand breaks. We are now exploring whether this novel function of CTCF is disrupted in cancer, and promotes oncogenic progression.
 
 
 
 
The transcription factor TFII-I targets CTCF to metabolism-related genes.

 2. Drugging the epigenome as an approach to fight ovarian cancer

Using RNA-seq and Chromatin-IP, we have uncovered epigenetic defects which are enabling us to find new therapeutic avenues to treat untreatable cancers.

3. Targeting poly (ADP-ribosylation)

Poly (ADP-ribosylation) is a protein modification placed by PARP-1. We have evidence that this pathway is abnormal in a spectrum of cancers. By targeting this pathway through unique means developed by my lab, we are able to either promote, or effectively slow, the growth of primary and metastatic breast cancers.

Team Arsenic

Cynthia is the Mann lab manager. She offers support to the students with their projects, experiments and troubleshooting. She maintains a productive and positive lab environment. One of her projects involves the creation of arsenic 3 methyltransferase (As3MT) flox mice. These mice are an important tool in dissecting the role of tissue-specific As3MT in arsenic toxicity, as well as potentially identifying alternative As3MT functions.
