Construction of rat aortic smooth muscle cell line A7r5-specific gene expression matrix
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The purpose of our study is to construct rat aortic smooth cell line A7r5-specific interactome by aggregating publically available microarray samples, and provided a global view of biological process and identified transcription factors that regulate the transcriptomic changes. We collected 30 samples of A7r5 cell line microarray from 2 prior studies and our own study data, GSE87439. We performed normalization for Affymetrix microarray platform using SCAN.UPC R package (Release 3.9, PMID: 22959562, https://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/SCAN.UPC.html). After normallizatin, we performed batch effect adjusting because datasets came from different laboratoriesand, and combined the datasets . The matrix data we deposited in GEO has normalized log2 signal intensity for 14,004 genes which are common across datasets. The genes were mapped to Rattus norvegicus Entrez Gene IDs. A7r5-specific interactome was assembled by Algorithm for the Reconstruction of Accurate Cellular Networks (ARACNe, PMID: 16723010). Then, we used Master Regulator Analysis-Fisher’s Extact Test (MRA-FET, PMID: 20531406) to infer transcription factors which control a gene signature changes by the effect of SCE and SchB on the TGFβ1-treated A7r5 cells (PMID: 29423034). We discovered Junb, Srebf2, Foxk2, and Irf9 as a master regulator to modulate the gene signatures on the TGFβ1-treated A7r5 cells. Our findings will provide biological insights into the pharmaceutical effect of SCE and SchB in A7r5 cells.
