Project description:Expression analysis in HepG2 and IMR90 cells in presence of Fluc siRNA or sPom121 or Nup98 siRNA Transfect siRNA - extract RNA 72 hrs post transfection
Project description:To gain insight into possible processes that require m6A for their function, METTL3 was knocked down (KD) in HepG2 cells by siRNA transfections Differential expression analysis of METTL3 KD versus mock-transfected HepG2 cells, in 2 biological replicates
Project description:The objective was to evaluate the status of the global hepatic transcriptome in the presence of inhibited calreticulin levels. Results identify a total of 324 genes were altered of which 245 genes were downregulated and 79 genes were upregulated. This suggests that such altered genes might be associated with altered hepatic physiology that are observed during calreticulin deficiency. Total RNA was isolated from HepG2 cells subjected to calreticulin (CRT) siRNA for 24 hours compared to control HepG2 cells subjected to scramble siRNA for 24 hours. This was then hybridized to Illumina HumanHT-12 v4 Expression BeadChip arrays.
Project description:Mammalian SIRT1 is a central regulator of metabolism and aging. This project is to analyze global phosphorylation levels of mammalian SIRT1 in proliferating and senescence states using human lung fibroblast IMR90, in order to explore the post-translational regulation of SIRT1 protein upon cellular senescence and its potential roles in the regulatory mechanisms of SIRT1 homeostasis.
Project description:Total RNA was isolated from proliferating and senescent IMR90 cells to compare gene-expression to the changes in nucleolus-association in proliferating and senescent IMR90 cells.
Project description:HNF4a is an important liver transcription factor that regulates at least a thousand genes in the liver. Here we used expression profiling in HepG2 cells, a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, in which HNF4a was knocked down by RNAi to identify some of those target genes. This dataset accompanies the article in Hepatology 2010 Feb;51(2):642-53. Integrated approach for the identification of human hepatocyte nuclear factor 4alpha target genes using protein binding microarrays by Bolotin E, Liao H, Ta TC, Yang C, Hwang-Verslues W, Evans JR, Jiang T, Sladek FM. RNA interference (RNAi) against HNF4a2 was performed in HepG2 cells using small, interfering RNAs (siRNAs) corresponding to nucleotides +179 to +197 of human HNF4A (NM_178849, sense siRNA: 5'-UGUGCAGGUGUUGACGAUGdTdT-3', antisense siRNA 5'-CAUCGUCAACACCUGCACAdTdT-3') (Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO). Total RNA was extracted with Trizol (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) and reverse transcribed with the Reverse Transcription System (Promega, Madison, WI). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was performed in the linear range (see Supporting Table 3B for a list of PCR primers). Expression profiling analysis was performed with Affymetrix oligonucleotide arrays (HGU133 Plus 2.0) using RNA from control (PGL3 siRNA) or treated (HNF4a siRNA) HepG2 cells
Project description:DNA methylation was measured by MBD2 enrichment of DNA fragments in IMR90. A statistical model was developed to estimate absolute methylation levels, and compared to whole genome bisulfite sequencing results (Lister, R. et al. (2009) Human DNA methylomes at base resolution show widespread epigenomic differences. Nature) Two techincal replicates of MBD2 methylated DNA enrichment in IMR90 cells.
