Identification of lncRNA-NTT regulated genes using small interference RNA knockdown for cDNA microarray

ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying lncRNA-NTT knockdown We employed small interference RNA (siRNA) and microarray techniques to investigate the effect of NTT silencing on gene expression in HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were transfected with NTT siRNA (siNTT) or control siRNA (siCon) for 120 h, and then RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis for hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We collect siRNA-transfection HepG2 cells and test knockdown efficiency. After comparison of the siCon group then we choose the best three sample for microarray.

Project description:The ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporter family is widely distributed in vertebrates and is essential for drug resistance, cell signaling and energy homeostasis. There is growing evidence that various ABC transporters contribute to the growth and development of tumors but relatively little is known about how the ABC transporter family behaves in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). ABCC6 transporter was downregulated in HCC tissues and that it was associated with successful treatment for HCC patients. Cellular model studies have shown that ABCC6 plays a role in the migration and cytoskeleton rearrangement of HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells, highlighting its role in cancer biology. Abcc6-silenced HepG2 cells are used as cell model to obtain more deep information about the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed results. MTT and colony formation assays, showed the effects of Abcc6 on HepG2 cell proliferation. Western blotting analysis, real-time PCR, and immunofluorescence were used to find the E-cadherin, Vimentin, and N-cadherin markers associated with the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Colony formation experiments in the current study showed that Abcc6 decreased HepG2 cell viability. The migratory and invasion activities were dramatically slowed down by Abcc6 silencing, according to the Transwell and wound-healing assays. In tumor cells, EMT has been shown to be crucial for enhancing migration and invasion and is frequently characterized by a loss of epithelial markers (E-cadherin) and an increase in mesenchymal markers (Vimentin and N-cadherin). In the western blotting examination, E-cadherin expression was considerably elevated compared to the control group, while N-cadherin and Vimentin expression were downregulated. This led to the hypothesis that the underlying mechanism of Abcc6 knockdown prevents migration and invasion in HepG2 cells and is linked to the suppression of EMT. In conclusion all evidence suggested that ABC transporters play a more active role in cancer biology.

Project description:The proinflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha is critical in maintaining liver homeostasis since it is a major determiner of hepatocyte life and death. Considering this, gene transcription profiling was examined in control and TNFalpha treated HepG2 cells. Results indicated that TNFalpha could significantly alter the expression of a significant number of genes; most of them were functionally distributed among molecular functions like catalytic activity, binding, molecular transducer activity, transporter activity, translation and transcription regulator activities or enzyme regulator activity. Also, within genes up-regulated by TNFalpha, several GO terms related to lipid and fat metabolism were significantly overrepresented indicating global dysregulation of fat metabolism within the hepatocyte and those within the down-regulated dataset included genes involved in immunoglobulin receptor activity and IgE binding thereby indicating a compromise in immune defense mechanism(s) apart from those involved the DNA binding and protein binding categories. The interacting network of “lipid metabolism, small molecule biochemistry” was derived to be significantly affected that correlated well with the top canonical pathway of “biosynthesis of steroids” and molecular and cellular function of “lipid metabolism”. All these indicate TNFalpha to be significantly altering the transcriptome profiling within HepG2 cells with genes involved in lipid and steroid metabolism being the most favoured. This study suitably addresses the genes that determine TNFalpha mediated alterations within the hepatocyte mainly the phenotypes of hepatic steatosis and fatty liver that are associated with several hepatic pathological states. HepG2 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum with 1% antibiotic-antimycotic. On attaining confluency, cells were serum starved overnight and incubated in the absence (control) and presence of TNFalpha (0.5nM, 12h). On termination of incubation, total RNA was isolated, reverse transcribed to cDNA and subjected to in vitro transcription to produce biotinylated cRNA that was hybridized to the human array chip (Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0, Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Images were scanned using the GeneChip 3000 7G scanner (Affymetrix) and analysed. The experiment was performed with triplicates of each set (Control and TNF alpha treated). This experiment was reloaded in November 2010 after additional curation.
