Project description:Analysis of gene expression in lung and prostate cancer cells expressing non-target (NT), p44/wdr77. or PRMT5 shRNA. Results provide important information on how p44/wdr77 and PRMT5 control cellular proliferation. Total RNA obtained from cells expressing NT, p44/wdr77, or PRMT5 shRNA.

Project description:CRISPR was utilized to deplete either PRMT5 or WDR77 in HSC-5 cells. Subsequently, RNA-seq was performed to identify changes in the transcriptome following the loss of PRMT5 or WDR77 in these cells. Critically, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) was conducted to screen and identify a list of genes co-regulated by PRMT5 and WDR77.
Project description:Comprehensive RNA-seq experiments in control and PRMT5 and WDR77 shRNA infected cells delineate the role of PRMT5/WDR77 complex in promoting breast cancer oncogenesis
Project description:The PRMT5/WDR77 complex is known to regulate alternative splicing through the symmetric dimethylation of spliceosome proteins in the cytoplasm. Overexpression of this complex is observed in different types of cancer including breast cancer, where it shows increased nuclear accumulation.To understand the nuclear role and the chromatin binding properties of PRMT5 we performed genome-wide ChIP-Seq analysis in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
Project description:PRMT5 is the major type II protein arginine methyltransferase catalyzing the symmetric dimethylation of arginine. Recent reports have indicated that PRMT5 is overexpressed in multiple cancer types, including prostate. However, the exact contribution of PRMT5 to prostate tumorigenesis is unknown. To explore the functional role of PRMT5 in prostate cancer (PCa), we knocked down PRMT5 by lentiviral shRNAs in both AR-dependent LNCaP cells and AR-independent PC3 cells. Our data suggests that PRMT5 regulates PCa cell biology. To further identify PRMT5-regulated genes in PCa, we performed paired-end RNA-seq analysis in PC3 and LNCaP cells with or without PRMT5-knockdown.
Project description:To decipher the contribution of WDR77 and p53 to androgen-responsive gene expression, effect of siRNA-mediated silencing of WDR77 and p53 on expression of androgen-dependent genes was studied. Human LNCaP prostate cancer cells were transfected with individual siRNA SmartPools targeting WDR77 or p53 or a non-targeting siRNA SmartPool. Forty-two hours after transfection, cells were treated with synthetic androgen R1881 (5nM) or vehicle. Three biological replicates were generated per treatment group. Forty-eight hours later, total RNA was isolated and processed for Illumina oligoarray analysis.
Project description:Compared to intensely studied DNA methylation, protein methylation is less studied. PRMT5 is the major type II protein arginine methyltransferase catalyzing the symmetric dimethylation of arginine. Recent reports have indicated that PRMT5 is overexpressed in multiple cancer types, including prostate. However, the exact contribution of PRMT5 to prostate tumorigenesis is unknown. To explore PRMT5 in prostate cancer (PCa) therapeutically, we utilized a recently developed selective small molecule PRMT5 inhibitor (PRMT5i, EPZ015666) that has shown in vivo potency in MCL models. To understand the molecular mechanisms of action of PRMT5i in PCa, we performed deep RNA-seq analysis in PC3 and LNCaP cells treated with or without PRMT5i at 4 μM for 4 days in vitro.
