Project description:To explore the function of Mitochondrial Fission 1 (FIS1) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), we used shRNA to knock down the expression of FIS1 in leukemia cell line MOLM-13 cells and performed RNA-seq experiments to profile transcriptional changes upon FIS1 depletion.
Project description:The METTL3 methyltransferase is responsible for the deposition of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modifications in RNA and has been identified as essential for survival and proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells in a genome-wide CRISPR screen. In our experiments involving a small-molecule METTL3 inhibitor (UZH2) in the AML cell line MOLM-13, we observed suppression of cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis and differentiation. The aim of RNA-seq experiment was to characterize the transcriptomic changes occurring in MOLM-13 cell line after treatment UZH2. Cell were treated with 10 µM of UZH2 for 16 h and compered to untreated controls (5 % DMSO).
Project description:The growth arrest and DNA-damage induced 45 gamma (GADD45g) is rapidly induced by various physiological and environmental stresses associated with growth arrest. GADD45g has been observed implicated in cell survival, apoptosis, senescence, cell cycle regulation and DNA repair in a variety of human solid tumor types, acting as either tumor promoter or tumor suppressor. To date, the role of GADD45g in hematopoietic malignancies remains completely unknown. Here, we transduced Molm-13 cells with lentiviral vectors expressing doxycycline-inducible GADD45g. Molm-13 cells with dox administration or not were collected for RNA-seq.
Project description:MOLM-13 acute myeloid leukemia cells were treated with 3 µM FIDAS-5 methionine S-adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A) inhibitor or 0.1% DMSO as control for 48 hours
