Knockdowns of total NFYA and a NFYA long 3’ UTR isoform followed by RNA-seq to determine isoform-specific effects on gene expression
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Alternative cleavage and polyadenylation (APA) produces multiple isoforms of the Nuclear Transcription Factor Y Subunit Alpha (NFYA) gene with variable length 3? untranslated regions (UTRs). These isoforms have been detected in HCT116 colon cancer cells via polyA-seq and northern blots, as well as colon cancer tissue RNA-seq data. NFYA is a transcription factor that may regulate cell growth and proliferation in cancer and development. To determine if there may be transcriptional regulation unique to the long 3’ UTR isoform, we conducted an siRNA knockdown in HCT116 cells specific to either the long isoform (by targeting sequence uniquely present in the longer transcript) or total NFYA mRNA (by targeting sequence shared by all long and short NFYA mRNA isoforms) followed by next generation sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) to analyze the transcriptome.
