Project description:We identified a rare coding variant (p.K420Q) in the complement component 7 (C7) gene affecting the risk of Alzheimer's disease. To investigate the cellular effects of the mutant, we performed RNA-seq in cell line overexpression wilt-type and mutant C7. U251 glioma cells with stable expression of mutant APP (K670N/M671L) (U251-APP cells), which produce Aβ42 under Dox inducing, were used as the model cell. Total RNA of U251-APP cells overexpressing wild type and mutant C7 proteins were subjected to transcriptome sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 4000 platform.
Project description:PARK2 (PARKIN) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase whose dysfunction has been associated with the progression of Parkinsonism and human malignancies, and its role in cancer remains to be explored. In this study, we investigated its role in glioma. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression upon PARK2 overexpression in U251 cells U251 cells with PARK2 overexpression or control (GFP) were subjected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Glioma is a malignant primary tumour that occurs in the central nervous system. TEA domain transcription factor (TEAD) family proteins are the Hippo pathway's ultimate effector molecules. The function of TEAD3 in gliomas is still unclear. Therefore, RNA sequencing was performed on TEAD3 knockdown U251 cells and normal U251 cells. The samples in this study included normal U251 control group and TEAD3 knockdown group. Each group contained three samples. Total RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent following the manufacturer's procedure. The total RNA quantity and purity were analysis of Bioanalyzer 2100 and RNA 6000 Nano LabChip Kit, high-quality RNA samples with RIN number > 7.0 were used to construct sequencing library. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) based on the sequencing results showed that knockdown of TEAD3 in the U251 cell line caused changes in several important pathways, including CTLA4 inhibitory pathway, defective pyroptosis, signaling by Hippo, regulation of TP53 activity, E2F mediated regulation of DNA replication, and FCGR3A mediated phagocytosis.
Project description:RPL13 was identified to be downregulated in brain of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To explore the involved pathways in response to RPL13 reduction, we knockdownRPL13 using siRNA in U251 cell line with a stably expressed mutant APP (K670N/M671L, U251-APP cells). RNA-seq (by IlluminaHiseq 4000) and following analyses were then performed to detect genes whose expression were influenced by RPL13 knockdown.
Project description:To investigate the effect of overexpression of STING in U251 cells, we then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of two groups.
