Project description:Dicer and Argonaute2 (Ago2) gene is involving in microRNA (miRNA) maturation. Knockdown of these genes has great impact on miRNA expression profiles. We used microarrays to detail the miRNA expression profiles in Dicer- and Ago2-knockdown HeLa cells and demonstarted that the significant difference between Ago2-knockdown and Dicer- and Ago2-co-knockdown HeLa cells were not found.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE13638: Ago2 or Dicer knockdown effects on mRNA levels in HeLa GSE13639: Drosha or DGCR8 knockdown effects on mRNA levels in HeLa Refer to individual Series
Project description:Analysis of mRNA changes in HeLa cells following Ago2 or Dicer depletion. Dicer, a cytoplasmic RNase III, generates the mature form of small RNAs including microRNA. Ago2 is a component of an effector complex of microRNA. Keywords: gene expression array-based (RNA / in situ oligonucleotide) siRNA against Ago2 or Dicer were trasnfected into HeLa cells. siRNA against GFP was used as a control. Biologically duplicated total RNAs were prepared from HeLa cells, 24 hrs and 48 hrs after siRNA transfection.

Project description:We used sequencing analyses to identify small RNAs that are generated in a Dicer-dependent manner and the genes that are dysregulated upon Dicer knockdown at the mRNA level, and upon Drosha, Dicer and Ago2 knockdown at the chromatin level in HEK293 cells. We found that levels of tRNA-derived sRNAs decreased alongside microRNAs upon Dicer knockdown. Many genes are dysregulated at the chromatin levels when Dicer and Ago2 levels are reduced, indicating that Dicer and Ago2 can regulate genes directly or indirectly at the transcriptional level. Drosha knockdown, on the other hand, has a marginal effect on RNA levels at the chromatin.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
