Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) remains the leading cause of death in patients with gynecological malignancy. An improved understanding of the genomics has led to the separation of OC into histologically and molecularly defined subgroups. Based on molecular profiling in OC patients, subtype with a reactivated tumor stroma presented the worst prognosis, emphasizing the importance of tumor microenvironment especially stromal fibroblasts in fueling OC progression. Dicer1 is well recognized as the microRNA (miR) synthesis machinery, playing a crucial role in cellular maturation and development, and was generally considered to be a tumor suppressor gene that inhibited tumor initiation and metastasis. Dicer1 expression pattern and exact biological function was seldom studied in the stromal compartment. There was a recent study demonstrating that Dicer1 was involved in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) development and maturation. Therefore, we are inspired to explore the expression and function of Dicer1 in stromal fibroblasts of OC patients. In this study, mRNA and microRNA gene expression profiling were conducted for MRC5-CAFs after silencing of Dicer1. By comparing the expression data of MRC5-CAFs transfected with control siRNA (si-Ctrl) or with Dicer1 specific siRNA (si-Dicer1) for 72 hr, we identified a set of differential expressed mRNA and microRNA in MRC5-CAFs after Dicer1 knockdown. This study was the first to investigate Dicer1 influence of stromal fibroblast gene expression and the underlying regulation mechanism, which held great importance in complementing our understanding of Dicer1 in OC initiation and development, and raises potent therapeutical targets in controlling OC metastasis We used microarrays to profile the microRNA expression of MRC5-CAFs before and after Dicer1 knockdown, in order to identify microRNA alteration exerted by Dicer1 in the context of stromal fibroblasts.

Project description:To identify the molecular pathway regulated by Scribble (SCRIB) in primary hunan endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) decidualization, high-throughput RNA-seq was performed to analyze the transcriptome profile in si-Ctrl or si-SCRIB transfected decidualized ESCs (dESCs).
Project description:Ehf is a transcriptional regulator that is highly expressed and enriched in corneal epithelium. To gain insights into the role of Ehf in the corneal epithelium, we performed siRNA knockdown of Ehf in primary human corneal epithelial cells. Primary human corneal epithelial cells were transfected with siEhf or si controls, plated, and harvested at 72 hr.
Project description:One day prior to confluency, non-targeting (scramble control) siRNA or Kdm5c siRNA were transfected into 3T3-L1 cells and chromatin structure was assessed by ATAC-seq at 24hr, 48hr, and 72 hr post transfection.
Project description:In order to screen the target genes regulated by lncMGPF,we transfected the siRNA to knock down lncMGPF gene (si-lncMGPF) and negative control siRNA (si-NC), induced cells to differentiate for 2 days.
Project description:Mouse skeletal muscle cells were subjected to treatment with siRNAs targeting EYA3 or a non-targeting siRNA (si-Ctrl). Differential gene expression analysis was performed on the resulting data.
Project description:The human HOTAIR-specific siRNA and control siRNA were transfected into MCF-7-TNR cells. RNA was collected at 72 hrs after transfection. RNA-SEQ was carried out to profile the gene expression altered by HOTAIR knockdown.
Project description:Human melanoma A2058 cells were transfected with PARP1 siRNA or control siRNA for 48 and 72 h. Goal was to determine the effects of PARP1 on global A2058 gene expression by comparing the changes in the expression profile of melanoma cells after PARP1 interference.
