Project description:Here we investigate the RNA-binding protein AGO2 in HeLa by using a combination of AGO2 enhanced individual nucleotide resolution UV crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (eiCLIP). We find that 5’ capped RNAs derived from 3’UTRs likely originate from AGO2-mediated cleavage, and most often occur at locations with potential to form G-quadruplexes.

Project description:Dicer and Argonaute2 (Ago2) gene is involving in microRNA (miRNA) maturation. Knockdown of these genes has great impact on miRNA expression profiles. We used microarrays to detail the miRNA expression profiles in Dicer- and Ago2-knockdown HeLa cells and demonstarted that the significant difference between Ago2-knockdown and Dicer- and Ago2-co-knockdown HeLa cells were not found.
Project description:Analysis of mRNA changes in HeLa cells following Ago2 or Dicer depletion. Dicer, a cytoplasmic RNase III, generates the mature form of small RNAs including microRNA. Ago2 is a component of an effector complex of microRNA. Keywords: gene expression array-based (RNA / in situ oligonucleotide) siRNA against Ago2 or Dicer were trasnfected into HeLa cells. siRNA against GFP was used as a control. Biologically duplicated total RNAs were prepared from HeLa cells, 24 hrs and 48 hrs after siRNA transfection.

Project description:We deciphered Ago2:RNA interactions in post-mortem human heart tissues using crosslinking immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput sequencing (HITS-CLIP) to generate the first transcriptome-wide map of miR targeting events in human myocardium, detecting 4000 cardiac Ago2 binding sites across >2200 target transcripts.
