Long noncoding RNA and mRNA profiling in MDA-MB-231 cells following RNAi-mediated knockdown of SIRT7.

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant cancers among women and a major clinical obstacle. Although studies have reported the abnormal expression of SIRT7 in breast cancer, whether the function of SIRT7 regulates the expression of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in breast cancer remains unknown. We aimed to determine the differential expressions of mRNAs and lncRNAs associated with SIRT7 and understand the regulatory mechanism of SIRT7 in breast cancer. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the transcriptome in MDA-MB-231 cells after SIRT7 depletion, and a total of 50,634 different transcripts were identified. In comparison with the negative control, siSIRT7 groups showed 240 differentially expressed mRNAs and 26 differentially expressed lncRNAs. Gene ontology analysis revealed t
