Project description:Effect of PAAF1 and Spt6 knock-down on gene expression. Total RNAs were extracted from HeLa-LTR-Luc cells in which PAAF1 or Spt6 had been knock down by a specific siRNA or HeLa-LTR-Luc cells that had been transfected with a control siRNA (“si Neg”). Differentially expressed genes in PAAF1 knock-down cells were identified by microarray.
Project description:To screen potential target genes of SPIN1 in breast cancer, human gene expression microarray was performed to identify differentially expressed mRNAs in SPIN1 siRNA or negative control transfected MCF-7/ADM cells. After transfection with SPIN1 siRNA, 4409 genes were differentially expressed by >2-fold in MCF-7/ADM cells compared with negative control-transfected cells, of which 2413 were significantly downregulated and the other 1996 were upregulated. Differentially expressed genes were submitted to GO and KEGG pathway analysis.
Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNA molecules regulating the expression of mRNAs. Target identification of miRNAs is computationally difficult due to the relatively low homology between miRNAs and their targets. We provide data here utilizing an experimental approach to identify targets of mmu-miR-378-3p, where mmu-miR-378-3p was overexpressed and silenced in NIH-3T3 murine fibroblasts and compared to control RNA transfected cells (RISC-free siRNA). Expression of mRNAs was profiled and differentially expressed genes following either treatment as compared to control transfected cells were identified. In this way we identified 491 significantly differentially expressed genes with more than 1.4 fold change in either comparison. One of the putative targets Akt-1 was subsequently confirmed by luciferase reporter assay.
Project description:Effect of PAAF1 and Spt6 knock-down on gene expression. Total RNAs were extracted from HeLa-LTR-Luc cells in which PAAF1 or Spt6 had been knock down by a specific siRNA or HeLa-LTR-Luc cells that had been transfected with a control siRNA (“si Neg”). Differentially expressed genes in PAAF1 knock-down cells were identified by microarray. Two biological replicates (A / B) in 3 experimental conditions (si-Neg, si-PAAF1, si-Spt6) were analyzed in a single channel experiment.
