Project description:We used GRO-seq to examine transcriptional activities in BJ and TIG-3 cells under control conditions and after activation of oncogenic RAS_V12 that leads to Oncogene-Induced Senescence (OIS)
Project description:We used GRO-seq to examine the effect of Myc activation on RNA transcription in U2OS cells. We measure in duplicates gene transcription rates in U2OS cells containing an inducible Myc expression vector that were induced or mock-treated in duplicates for 5 hours.
Project description:Purpose: GRO-seq is a robust method to examine the nascent RNA transcriptome in the genome level Methods: The GRO-seq measures the trancription of nascent RNAs in the genome. From human CD34+ erythrocytes treated with veichle or T4 we conducted GRO-seq to examine the transcripome.
Project description:GRO (Genomic run-on) experiments with different mutants that affect to the accumulation of non active RNA pol II along the yeast genome. Keywords: Genomic run-on GRO There are 4 different strains: rap1-sil (without the silencing domain), RAP1(both from Graham I.R. et al 1999) and tpk1 & tpk2 mutants (Euroscarf). For each experiment there are GRO data (Transcription Rate) and gDNA data used for normalizing the GRO signals. The last number of the GRO filters correspond to the number of gDNA filters.There are 3 independent biological replicates of Rap1 and rap1-sil experiments and 2 for the tpk1 & tpk2 experiments.
Project description:Arsenic is a potent environmental toxin and a cause of numerous health problems. Most studies have assumed that arsenic-induced changes in mRNA levels result from effects on gene transcription. The influence of arsenic on post-transcriptional regulation, another important locus of gene expression control, has remained largely unexplored. To evaluate the prevalence of changes in mRNA stability in response to arsenic in human fibroblasts, we used microarray analyses to determine changes in steady state mRNA levels, and their decay rates, following 24 hour exposure to non-cytotoxic concentrations of sodium arsenite (1 µM). We conclude that arsenite modification of mRNA stability is relatively uncommon, but in some instances can result in significant changes in gene expression. Human BJ diploid foreskin fibroblasts were used in the study. The decay rates of transcripts were determined using actinomycin D to stop transcription after sodium arsenite or water treatment for 24 h. Actinomycin D was added into the culture medium at a final concentration of 5 µg/ml, and treated cells were then harvested at 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h for RNA extraction.
