Project description:Regulation of gene expression by the CtBP family of NADH-sensitive transcriptional regulators, in MCF7 cells under normoxia and hypoxia. To determine the effect of CtBP knockdown on gene expression in MCF7 we transfected cells with an siRNA (5′-GGGAGGACCUGGAGAAGUUdTdT-3′/3′-dTdTCCCUCCUGGACCUCUUCAA-5′, obtained from Ambion) targetting both CtBP1 and CtBP2 (versus control siRNA). After 48 hours cells were either transferred to a hypoxic chamber (1% oxygen), or maintained in normoxia, for 18 hours.
Project description:We performed RNA-seq to observe the gene expression changes in cells following siRNA-mediated knockdown of DDX3X and DDX54 RNA helicases in human breast cancer MCF7 cells. Two siRNAs were used to target each RNA helicase and scramble siRNA-treated MCF7 cells were used as controls.
