Project description:Microarray comprising probe sets for miRNAs and other small RNAs was used to determine which and how many small RNAs are potential substrates of poly(A) specific ribonuclease (PARN) in U2OS cells . Hybridization probes were generated by oligo(dT) priming.
Project description:We used Ribo-seq to examine the effect of Myc activation on protein translation in U2OS cells and correalted these changes with alterations in RNA level measured by RNA-seq on tye same conditions. We also examined these effects in the presence of Torin-1, an inhibitor of mTOR We measure ribosome occupancy profiles in U2OS cells containing an inducible Myc expression vector that were induced or mock-treated in duplicates for 36 hours. In addition, we repeated the experiments in the presence of Torin-1, an inhibitor of mTOR.
Project description:ChIP followed by deep sequencing was performed with antibodies to ERalpha in U2OS-ERalpha cells treated with 17beta-estradiol. Examination of Eralpha binding sites in U2OS-Eralpha cells. Sequenced input was used as a control
Project description:We analysed whole PolyA+ RNA from human osteosarcoma U2OS cells depleted for human Cactin or transfected with a control shRNA. Two independent shRNAs targeting human Cactin (shCac_C and shCac_D), a control shRNA (shCtrl), a single cell line (U2OS)
Project description:To quantify functional enhancers, we performed STARR-seq (Self-Transcribing Active Regulatory Region sequencing) in the U2OS-GR and the U2OS-AR cell lines (derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96, stably transfected with an expression construct for rat GR or human AR, respectively). U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 14 hours. U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 14 hours. To limit the number of putative enhancers, the STARR library contained genomic regions isolated by FAIRE (Formaldehyde Assisted Isolation of Regulatory Elements) from dexamethasone-treated U2OS-GR cells to include regions that gain accessibility upon GR activation. We added unique molecular identifiers (UMIs) during the reverse transcription stage to facilitate quantitative measurements of enhancer activity for each fragment. The UMI for each read is present within the sequence identifier line (directly following the y coordinate and separated by a ':') of the fastq files.
Project description:The aim of this experiment is to compare nucleases used in ribosome profiling using Drosophila melanogaster Kc167 cells and human U2OS osteosarcoma cells. Ribosome profiling was performed from nuclease digested samples using sucrose cushion centrifugation separated ribosomes.
Project description:We used RNA-seq to examine the effect of Myc activation on U2OS cells transcriptome. We also examined these effects in the presence of Torin-1, an inhibitor of mTOR We measure gene expression profiles in U2OS cells containing an inducible Myc expression vector that were induced or mock-treated in duplicates for 36 hours. In addition, we repeated the experiments in the presence of Torin-1, an inhibitor of mTOR.
Project description:We performed ChIP-seq targeting the H3K27ac, H3K4me1, H3K27me3 and H3K9me3 in the U2OS-GR and U2OS-AR cell lines. The cell lines are derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96 and stably transfected with an expression construct for either rat GR or human AR, respectively. The U2OS-GR cells were treated with dexamethasone (1 µM) or vehicle (ethanol) for 90 minutes. The U2OS-AR cells were treated with R1881 (5 nM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 4 hours.
