Project description:N-Myc oncoprotein induces neuroblastoma by modulating gene transcription, and long noncoding RNAs exert biological effects by regulating gene expression. We have found that one of long noncoding RNAs modulated by N-Myc is linc00467. We analysed the target genes of the long noncoding RNA linc00467 in neuroblastoma cells.
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.

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: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:The endoribonuclease Dicer is known for its central role in the biogenesis of eukaryotic small RNAs/microRNAs. Despite its importance, Dicer target transcripts have not been directly mapped. Here, we apply biochemical methods to human cells and C. elegans and identify thousands of Dicer binding sites. We find known and hundreds of novel miRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity. We also report structural RNAs, promoter RNAs, and mitochondrial transcripts as Dicer targets. Interestingly, most Dicer binding sites reside on mRNAs/lncRNAs and are not significantly processed into small RNAs. These passive sites typically harbor small, Dicer-bound hairpins within intact transcripts and generally stabilize target expression. We show that passive sites can sequester Dicer and reduce microRNA expression. mRNAs with passive sites were in human and worm significantly associated with processing-body/granule function. Together, we provide the first transcriptome-wide map of Dicer targets and suggest conserved binding modes and functions outside the miRNA pathway. PAR-CLIP basically as described previously (Hafner et al. 2010).

Together, we provide the first transcriptome-wide map of Dicer targets and suggest conserved binding modes and functions outside the miRNA pathway. small RNAs were extracted from total RNA. Standard small RNA sequencing was performed to sequence 5' monophosphate bearing small RNAs. This was performed for siRNA knockdowns of DICER1 or DROSHA, with two independent siRNAs each, and for control cells. (5 samples in total)
