ABSTRACT: Differential gene expression in neuroblastoma cells after transfection with control siRNA, N-Myc siRNA-1, N-Myc siRNA-2, lncMycN siRNA-1 or lncMycN siRNA-2
Project description:Differential gene expression analysis of MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells after transfection with Control siRNA, LYAR siRNA-6 or LYAR siRNA-10
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of long noncoding RNAs in human neuroblastoma BE(2)-C after transfection with control siRNA or N-Myc siRNA We analysed which long nocoding RNAs were N-Myc targets.
Project description:N-Myc oncoprotein induces neuroblastoma by modulating gene transcription, and long noncoding RNAs exert biological effects by regulating gene expression. We analysed whether N-Myc and the long noncoding RNA lncMycN mediate the expression of common subsets of genes. Neuroblastoma Kelly cells were transfected with control siRNA, N-Myc siRNA-1, N-Myc siRNA-2, lncMycN siRNA-1 or lncMycN siRNA-2. RNA was extracted from the cells 48 hours after siRNA transfections, and subjected to differential gene expression studies with Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:WDR5 is an important co-factor for N-Myc-regulated transcriptional activation and tumorigenesis We analysed whether WDR5 siRNAs modulate gene expression Neuroblastoma BE(2)-C cells were treated with control siRNA, WDR5 siRNA-1, and WDR5 siRNA-2 for 40 hours, and subjected to differential gene expression studies with Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:WDR5 is an important co-factor for N-Myc-regulated transcriptional activation and tumorigenesis Using ChIP-Seq, We profiled key epigenetic marks H3K4 trimethylation in BE(2)-C neuroblastoma cells transfected with control siRNA or WDR5 siRNA-1 at N-Myc target gene promoters The results showed knockdown WDR5 significantly reduced H3K4me3 at 93.2% of N-Myc binding promoters, but only at 53.5% of N-Myc non-binding promoters.
Project description:As part of our study in understanding the role of SP140 in inflammatory pathways in macrophages, we inhibited SP140 mRNA using siRNA. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from whole blood of healthy donors (from Sanquin Institute Amsterdam or from GSK Stevenage Blood Donation Unit) by Ficoll density gradient (Invitrogen). CD14+ monocytes were positively selected from PBMCs using CD14 Microbeads according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Miltenyi Biotec). CD14+ cells were differentiated with 20 ng/mL of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) (R&D systems) for 3 days followed by 3 days of polarization into classically activated (inflammatory) M1 macrophages (100 ng/mL IFN-γ; R&D systems). M1 macrophages were transfected with siGENOME human smartpool SP140 siRNA or non-targeting scrambled siRNA for 48h with DharmaFECT™ transfection reagents according to manufacturer’s protocol (Dharmacon). The cells were left unstimulated or stimulated with 100 ng/mL LPS (E. coli 0111:B4; Sigma) for 4h (for qPCR) or 24h (for Elisa). The cells were lysed (ISOLATE II RNA Lysis Buffer RLY-Bioline) for RNA extraction.150 ng total RNA was labelled using the cRNA labelling kit for Illumina BeadArrays (Ambion) and hybridized with Ref8v3 BeadArrays (Illumina). Arrays were scanned on a BeadArray 500GX scanner and data were normalized using quantile normalization with background subtraction (GenomeStudio software; Illumina).
