Transcriptomic analysis of neuroblastoma cells in response to stable over-expression of FOXD3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3-AS1)

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma (NB), a malignant embryonic tumor arising from primitive neural crest cells, accounts for more than 7% of malignancies and around 15% of cancer-related mortality in childhood. Better elucidating the mechanisms of tumorigenesis and aggressiveness is important for improving the therapeutic efficiencies of NB. Through mining of publically available microarray datasets, we discovered a novel 963-bp lncRNA, named FOXD3 antisense RNA 1 (FOXD3-AS1), as an independent prognostic marker for favorable clinical outcome of NB patients. To investigate the mechanisms underlying the oncogenic functions of FOXD3-AS1, we employed the Illumina HiSeq PE125/PE150 as a discovery platform to analyze the transcriptome profiling changes of human BE(2)-C cells in response to stable over-expression of FOXD3-AS1. The results showed that stable over-expression of FOXD3-AS1 led to altered expression of 3191 human mRNAs, including 1542 up-regulated genes and 1650 down-regulated genes. Then we found the possible roles of these differentially regulated mRNAs in selected pathways including cell cycle/proliferation, apoptosis, and cytokine/chemokine responses by Bioinformatic analysis. Furthermore, we validated the RNA-seq results by real-time RT-PCR with high identity. Overall, our results provided fundamental information about the transcriptomic changes in response to FOXD3-AS1 over-expression in human NB cells, and these findings will help us understand the pathogenesis of NB.
