Project description:CSRP2BP plays an important role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and mammalian development, CSRP2BP knockdown by specific shRNA (CSRP2BP-shRNA) significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HTR-8 trophoblast cells, and placental explant outgrowth, while CSRP2BP overexpression did the opposite. To elucidate the mechanisms by which CSRP2BP regulated the function of trophoblast cells, we performed microarray analysis to compare the transcription profiling between the HTR-8-shNC and HTR-8-shCSRP2BP cells
Project description:lncRNA is reported to regulate gene transcription in variety of ways. hTR is a lncRNA with 451 nt. It is classical role is serving as template for telomere lengthening. However, it involves in some other biology processes as a lncRNA. To screen for genes regulated by hTR, we performed RNAseq with hTR expressed U2OS cells, using pBabe-U2OS as control.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare mRNAs expressed by EGF treated HTR-8/SVneo cells to iRNAs expressed in untreated control HTR-8/SVneo cells to identify various genes which play a role during EGF-mediated HTR-8/SVneo cell invasion
Project description:To identify the differentially expressed genes in metallopanstimulin-1 (MPS-1) knockdown gastric cancer cells compared with negative control ones, we employed the microarray profiling analysis. MPS-1 was knockdown by retroviral interfering system in human gastric adenocarcinoma originated cell SGC7901 and the transfectants named P4, while the negative control named NC. Genes with greater than 1.5-fold change and P-value ?0.05 were identified as differentially expressed genes between NC and P4 cells. Among those, apoptotic related gene (Gadd45?, cIAP2, Bcl2, CAD, Bid, etc) and adhesive related genes (integrin beta 4, ECM2, etc) were quantified by real-time PCR as well as western blotting. The two groups of negative control (NC) and MPS-1 knockdown gastric cancer cells (P4) were harvested after puromycin screening. Three independent experiments were performed for each group.
