Project description:The study aims to elucidate the effect of histone methyltransferase SMYD3 on gene expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Knockdown luciferase control v.s. knockdown SMYD3 in MCF-7 breast cancer cell line were conducted. Results identify a large proportion of cell cycle-related genes regulated by SMYD3.
Project description:We investigated the functions/pathways affected by SPEN knockdown in breast cancer by global expression profiling in a cell model, where the human breast cancer cell line, MCF-7, were transfected with an shRNA targeting SPEN mRNA.
