Project description:CSTF2 has been shown to have a certain oncogenic effect in hepatocellular carcinoma, but its mechanism remains unclear. Previous studies have suggested that CSTF2 can shorten the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of target genes. Considering that the 3'UTR contains numerous m6A modification sites, we hypothesize that CSTF2 may regulate mRNA m6A modification. We performed MeRIP-seq analysis to investigate the changes in m6A modification in CSTF2 knockout HUH7 and PLC/PRF/5 cell lines.
Project description:The role and mechanism of CSTF2 in hepatocellular carcinoma are unclear. We constructed CSTF2 knockout HUH7 and PLC/PRF/5 cells to analyze the function of CSTF2 in liver cancer and the downstream gene changes it induces.
Project description:CSTF2, an RNA-binding protein, and its target genes in hepatocellular carcinoma remain unreported. Screening for potential CSTF2-bound RNA sequences was performed using RIP-seq technique in HUH7 cells.
Project description:Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important causative pathogen of acute hepatitis. Because of the absence of an in vitro culture system for HEV, research has been greatly impeded. And interaction between HEV and host cells was mainly studied by tansfection/transinfection system, such as Adeno virus transinfection system. We developed an in vitro culture system for HEV in PLC/PRF/5 cells. With this in vitro culture system, we studied the gene expression profile change by HEV infection. Using a microarray assay, we analysed genes of PLC/PRF/5 cells, whose transcription level could be changed by HEV infection. Five flasks of PLC/PRF/5 cells inoculated with HEV were used as test sample, and five flasks inoculated with serum-free DMEM/199 medium were used as control samples. Both test and control flasks were cultured under the same conditions. Sixty days after inoculation, the test and control flasks was resolved with Trizol and analysed with Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2 array.
Project description:Gene expression profiling comparisons of HepG2.2.15 or PLC/PRF/5 cells either mock (M) transfected or transfected with 0.2 microM S2 RNA or Scrambled (SCR) siRNA were carried out in duplicate 48 hours after transfection. The experiments were carried out in duplicate (a and b). The following combinations of RNA were used on 2 slides each: 1. 2.2.15 cells: mock transfection (reference) versus S2 treatment (test) 2. 2.2.15 cells: mock transfection (reference) versus Scr treatment (test) 3. 2.2.15 cells: Scr treatment (reference) versus S2 treatment (test) 4. PLC/PRF/5 cells: mock transfection (reference) versus S2 treatment (test) 5. PLC/PRF/5 cells: mock transfection (reference) versus Scr treatment (test) 6. PLC/PRF/5 cells: Scr treatment (reference) versus S2 treatment (test)
Project description:Purpose: to analyze gene expression in XL413 treated liver cancer cells. Methods: PLC/PRF/5 cells are treated with XL413 (10uM) for 96 hours .For RNA sequencing, the library was prepared using TruSeq RNA sample prep kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina). Gene set enrichment analysis was performed using gene set enrichment analysis software.
