Project description:To gain insight into the function of Nuclear pore associated protein 1 (NPAP1, formerly C15orf2), we overexpressed NPAP1 in HEK293 cells. We detected no significant difference between NPAP1-expression of induced and uninduced cells in three technical replicates, exept for an approximately 10-fold increase in the NPAP1 transcript itself. This indicates that overexpression of NPAP1 does not change mRNA expression profiles of HEK293 cells. We used microarrays to investigate global gene expression changes depending on the level of NPAP1/C15orf2

We used microarrays to investigate global gene expression changes depending on the level of NPAP1/C15orf2 We compared NPAP1 overexpressing cells to untreated cells, which do not express detectable amounts of NPAP1 protein, to determine global gene expression changes.
Project description:Purpose: to investigate the change in gene expression after BDAA treatment on YFV infected HEK293 cells. Methods: HEK293 cells were cultured; then cells were non-infected/infected with YFV, and then untreat/treat with BDAA. Total RNA were harvested and sent to RNA sequencing. Results: we demonstrated that BDAA treatment of YFV infected HEK293 cells at 18 hpi for 2 h increased expression of a total of 39 cellular genes, 33 of which are inflammatory cytokines, chemokines or ISGs, and the remaining are mostly genes related to NFκB, TNF-α and MAPK signal transduction. Conclusion: BDAA triggers an enhanced activation of RNA sensor-mediated inflammatory cytokine responses, most likely by YFV RNA.
