Project description:EBV encodes 44 mature miRNAs, a number of which have been found to promote carcinogenesis by targeting host genes. To determine the biological functions of the BART cluster miRNAs, we singly transfected these miRNAs into HEK293T cells. Interestingly, we found that overexpression of EBV-miR-BART6-3p in HEK293T cells dramatically altered HEK293T cell shape. To explore the mechanism of EBV-miR-BART6-3p-mediated inhibition of cell migration and invasion, we attempted to identify its downstream host cellular genes by whole genome microarray, which contains probes to all known human protein coding genes (mRNAs) and long non-coding RNA genes (lncRNAs).
Project description:To get insight of molecular effects of bEV on HEK293T cells, we investigated transcriptomic response in bEV treated HEK293T cells We identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs) fold change cutoff = 1.5 in the bEV treated HEK293T cells These findings suggest that bEV would be putative ingredients by modulating signaling pathways in human cells
