Transcription profiling by array of MDA-MB-231 cells with HMGA2 knock-down

ABSTRACT: We have reported that the nuclear protein high mobility group A2 (HMGA2), is required for the induction of EMT by TGF-beta (Thuault et al. J. Cell Biol. 2006). HMGA2 regulates a cohort of transcriptional regulators of the EMT process, such as Snail1 and Twist1 (Thuault et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2008, E-Jean Tan et al. J. Biol. Chem. 2012). Since HMGA2 is a chromatin-associated protein, we expect that it should regulate many genes in addition to the EMT-related factors. The aim of our study is to decipher novel molecular mechanisms that explain how EMT links to the process of tumor-initiating cell self-renewal via the chromatin factor HMGA2. In this experiment, we stably transfected human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells with shRNA against HMGA2 and investigated effects of the knock-down on globa
