Gene expression profiling of WDR5 regulated genes in bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: WD repeat domain 5 (WDR5) plays an important role in various biological functions through the epigenetic regulation of gene transcription (Wysocka et al., 2005 [1]; Sandstrom et al., 2014[2]; Ang et al., 2011[3]). Recently, our study found that WDR5 was upregulated in bladder cancer tissues, promoted bladder cancer cell proliferation, self-renewal and chemoresistance to cisplatin in bladder cancer cells in vitro, and tumor growth in vivo (Chen et al., 2015). To gain a molecular understanding of the role of WDR5 in promoting bladder cancer, we performed a genome-wide analysis on WDR5 knockdown by microarray gene expression profiling. Here we provide detailed experimental methods and analysis for the microarray data, which have been deposited into Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO): GSE59132.

Project description:BackgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and has a poor prognosis. Identifying biomarkers based on molecular mechanisms is critical for early diagnosis, timely treatment, and improved prognosis of lung cancer. MALAT1 has been reported to have overexpressed and tumor-promoting functions in NSCLC. It has been proposed as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Therefore, this study was conducted to profile the changes in gene expression according to the regulation of expression of MALAT1 in NSCLC cell lines and to investigate the correlation through bioinformatic analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs).MethodsMALAT1 expression levels were measured using RT-qPCR. The biological functions of MALAT1 in NSCLC were analyzed by cell counting, colony forming, wound-healing, and Transwell invasion assays. In addition, gene expression profiling in response to the knockdown of MALAT1 was analyzed by transcriptome sequencing, and differentially expressed genes regulated by MALAT1 were performed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses. Bioinformatic databases were used for gene expression analysis and overall survival analysis.ResultsComparative analysis versus MALAT1 expression in MRC5 cells (a normal lung cell line) and the three NSCLC cell lines showed that MALAT1 expression was significantly higher in the NSCLC cells. MALAT1 knockdown decreased cell survival, proliferation, migration, and invasion in all three NSCLC cell lines. RNA-seq analysis of DEGs in NSCLC cells showed 198 DEGs were upregulated and 266 DEGs downregulated by MALAT1 knockdown in all three NSCLC cell lines. Survival analysis on these common DEGs performed using the OncoLnc database resulted in the selection of five DEGs, phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1), phosphoglycerate mutase 4 (PGAM4), nucleolar protein 6 (NOL6), nucleosome assembly protein 1 like 5 (NAP1L5), and sestrin1 (SESN1). The gene expression levels of these selected DEGs were proved to gene expression analysis using the TNMplot database.ConclusionMALAT1 might function as an oncogene that enhances NSCLC cell survival, proliferation, colony formation, and invasion. RNA-seq and bioinformatic analyses resulted in the selection of five DEGs, PGAM1, PGAM4, NOL6, NAP1L5, and SESN1, which were found to be closely related to patient survival and tumorigenesis. We believe that further investigation of these five DEGs will provide valuable information on the oncogenic role of MALAT1 in NSCLC.
