Project description:Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway plays an important role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. miR-194 was previously shown to reduce the induction of NF-κB activity upon addition of tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). To clarify the molecular mechanism responsible for the effect of miR-194 on NF-κB pathway, mRNA microarray assays were performed to identify the genes that were suppressed by miR-194. HEK-293T cells transfected with miR-194 mimics were cultured for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix mRNA microarrays. These were compared against the control, which were HEK-293T cells transfected with negative control mimics.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression in stably transfected HEK 293T cells of the over-expression of truncated FMRP containing 295 amino acid residues, which were compared with control (stably transfected HEK 293T cells of empty lentiviral vector (pLEX-MCS).

Stably transfected HEK 293T cells of empty lentiviral vector (pLEX-MCS) and the over-expression of truncated FMRP were for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Project description:The viral miRNA miR-K6-5p encoded by the DNA tumor virus Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus exhibits offset, sequence similarity with the tumor suppressive cellular miR-15/16 family, as well as sharing a short seed match to the cellular miR-214 (nts 2-7). We investigated how gene regulation by the viral miR-K6-5p is related to regulation by these cellular miRNAs by performing transcriptome analysis. mRNA-Seq was done in HEK 293T NoDice cells (Bogerd et al., RNA 2014) lacking Dicer which severely impaired the maturation of miRNAs thereby eliminating confounding effects of endogenously expressed miR-15/16 family. We transfected mature miRNA mimics of miR-16, miR-K6-5p wild-type, a variant of miR-K6-5p with a U at nt 1 instead of a C to control of RISC loading (miR-K6 5’U), miR-214, or a control mimic into NoDice cells, and harvested total RNA 2 days post-transfection.
