Project description:Hela test samples prepared by FASP digestion were run on QE and QE-HF mass spectrometry as quality controls. We tried to compare the protein and peptide identification results between the two machines.
Project description:Global Run-On sequencing (GRO-seq) was carried out on nuclei isolated from HeLa cells after 30 minutes of treatment with CDK9 inhibitors KM05382 and DRB and from two untreated controls. Libraries of nascent RNAs were generated and sequenced using Illumina Hi-seq technology. GRO-seq reads were processed, deduplicated, mapped to human genome and normalised to reads in the 5’ ETS of the 45S rRNA gene.
Project description:The heterogeneous collection of NuRD complexes can be grouped into the MBD2 or MBD3 containing complexes MBD2-NuRD and MBD3-NuRD. MBD2 is known to bind to methylated CpG sequences in vitro in contrast to MBD3. Although functional differences have been described, a direct comparison of MBD2 and MBD3 in respect to genome-wide binding and function has been lacking. Here we show when depleting cells for MBD2, the MBD2 bound genes increase their activity, whereas MBD2 plus MBD3 bound genes reduce their activity. Most strikingly, MBD3 is enriched at active promoters, whereas MBD2 is bound at methylated promoters and enriched at exon sequences of active genes. This suggests a functional connection between MBD2 binding to chromatin and splicing. 9 Total samples were analysed. Three individual replicates for HeLa cells treated with siRNA against MBD2, MBD3 or scrambled siRNA were performed. We calculated the fold change of gene expression of cells treated with MBD2- or MBD3-siRNA over cells treated with scrambled siRNA.
Project description:RNA-seq analysis was applied in two independent batches, each one in triplicate samples of HeLa cells in nutrient-rich and nutrient-deprived media
Project description:Mediator complex has been known as pivotal regulator of RNA polymerase II. Mediator complex has two CDK subunits in vertebrates, named CDK8 and CDK19. To elucidate functional difference between CDK8 and CDK19 in human cell, we employ siRNA mediate knockdown assay using HeLa S3 cell line. According to this assay these CDKs possess highly redundancy in HeLa S3 cell transcription regulation mechanism but in several genes, each CDK shows gene specific regulatory function. HeLa S3 cells were seeded on 6-well plate at 4 x 104 cells per well in 2ml antibiotic free DMEM medium before 24hr transfection. We transfect siRNA using Lipofectamine 2000 (invitrogen) according to its manual and siRNA final concentration in the medium was 20nM. After culturing for 48hr, transfection medium was changed to fresh antibiotic containing medium. Then the cells were incubated for additional 12hr and then RNA was prepared using RNeazy column (QIAGEN). Five μg of prepared RNA was subjected to the gene expression analysis using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 (Affymetrix) followed by characterizations with GeneSpring software (Agilent) and Pathway Analysis software (Ingenuity). In this analysis we employ two individual siRNA against each CDK and three replicates in each condition.

Project description:Total RNA samples from three biological replicates in which TFEB was transiently overexpressed in HeLa cells by transfection using a pcDNA3 vector. As negative control, we used total RNA samples from HeLa cells transfected with an empty pcDNA3 vector.
