Differential expression of genes after over expression of miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster in human embryonic kidney cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The experiment was deigned to identify the genes which get altered after the over expression of miR-23a~27a~24-2 cluster in HEK293T cells. The HEK293T cells plated in 6-well plate were transfected with two different concentrations of cloned miRNA cluster i.e 2micrograms and 4micrograms per well. Biological duplicates of 3 samples were used viz. control HEK293T cells, HEK293T cells transfected with 2micrograms of the cloned cluster and HEK293T cells transfected with 4micrograms of the cloned cluster.

Project description:Overexpression of USF1 in HEK293T cells in vitro to ascertain the genes downstream of USF1. Will identify direct targets as well as indirect targets of USF1. Keywords: Overexpression of transcription factor to determine downstream targets. Cloned USF1 from cDNA and transiently transfected into HEK293T cells. Total RNA collected 48 hours after transfection. Empty vector used as control. Expression of USF1 was validated using western blot, and qRT-PCR was used to validate differential expression.
Project description:Targetome of miR-124/miR-132 was enriched in HEK293T cells, a cell line which lacks the expression of these miRNA. The targetome was captured using miR-CLIP, a transfection-based double-purification crosslinking and immunoprecipitation (CLIP) method. Therefore HEK293T cells were transfected with miR-124/miR-132 miR-CLIP probes, which are trioxsalen, biotin bis-modified pre-miRNAs. Unspecific RNA-protein and trioxsalen mediated RNA-RNA crosslinking were induced by UV-irradiation before cell lysis. Total RNA (input samples) was enriched for AGO2-bound RNA using AGO2 immunoprecipitation, by depleting non-RISC associated RNAs. A second enrichment for specific targets of the transfected miRNA is performed using magnetic streptavidin-beads. This step relies on the interaction of the biotinylated probe, on which the RNA target is crosslinked, with the beads. The method was shown to deliver high-quality miRNA targetomes of both 5p and 3p miRNAs.
Project description:Transcriptome analysis in HEK293T transfected with plasmid carrying different isoforms of BPIFB4 gene. This gene was previously associated with exceptional longevity in a GWAS study performed on three different populations. Results indicate an up-regulation of stress response genes and proteostasis genes in HEK293T transfected with plasmid carrying the longevity-associated variant (LAV) of BPIFB4. Total RNA obtained from HEK293T over-expressing wild-type or mutated form of BPIFB4.
Project description:The function of DFNA5 remained unknown for a long time, but previous functional studies by Op de Beeck et al. (2011) revealed that DFNA5 induces a growth defect in mutDFNA5- transfected HEK293T cells, as well as other cells, leading to PCD (Op de Beeck et al., 2011). The cell death-inducing capacity of DFNA5 was not only restricted to human cell lines, but was also observed in the yeast model Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Van Rossom et al., 2012). This inspired us to perform a transcriptomic analysis using two different model organisms (mammalian, HEK293T, and yeast, S.cerevisiae) to further elucidate the mechanisms related to DFNA5. Comparison of two HEK293T transfected cell populations, either with a WT or mutated DFNA5 gene. There are 5 biol reps for the WT transfected cells and 6 biol reps for the mut DFNA5 transfected cells.
Project description:The experiment was deigned to identify the genes which get altered after the over expression of hsa-miR-128 in HEK293T cells. The HEK293T cells plated in 6-well plate were transfected with 4 micrograms of cloned miR-128 (p128) in three biological replicates. Biological triplicates of 2 samples were used viz. control HEK293T cells (c), HEK293T cells transfected with 4 micrograms of the cloned hsa-miR-128(t).

Project description:Whole transcriptome Identification of direct targets identify a new class of miRNA::mRNA interactions. HEK293T cells were transfected with biotinylated miRNAs. The miRNAs and target mRNA were pulled down with streptavidin and compared to a mock transfected control.
Project description:Two shRNAs were placed into expression vectors harboring mir30 microRNA scaffold and an optimized scaffold where the artificial restriction sights in mir30 have been removed. After infection and selection shRNA processing was assessed by small-RNA cloning. For both shRNAs, placement into the optimized scaffold resulted in a ~two-fold increase in processing (based on smallRNA levels). Purpose: Others have reported that the EcoRI site that was introduced to the mir30 scaffold results in decreased smallRNA processing and hence reduced target knockdown. We've developed an alternative scaffold (termed ultramir) where this site is removed. smallRNA cloning was used to determine if the movement of this sight resulted in an increase in shRNA processing. Method: Two shRNAs (one targeting Renilla Luciferase and one targeting Human RPA3) were cloned into the original mir30 cassette the ultramir cassette. Each of the 4 constructs were infected in duplicate at single copy into cells and the cells seltected unitil infection percentages reached >90% (the shRenilla hairpin was infected into HEK293T cells and the shRPA3 construts into the Gallus gallus cell line ERC. After selection smallRNA cloning was perfromed and the amount of smallRNAs corrresponding to the two shRNAs compared to the endogenous microRNA populatlon. Results: smallRNA levels of the two shRNAs doubled relative to the microRNA population when they were placed into the ultramir scaffold.
Project description:Whole transcriptome identification of direct targets identify a new class of miRNA::mRNA interactions. This is a qualitative experiment to check transcript structure of mRNAs that bind to miR-17-5p. HEK293T cells were transfected with biotinylated miRNAs. The miRNAs and target mRNA were pulled down with streptavidin and profiled using stranded RNA-seq.
