Project description:S4, a sulfonamide drug, has been confirmed to induce apoptosis and autophagy in cancer cells. Immunogenic cell death is a special cell death type which is closely related to apoptosis and autophagy. We performed RNA-seq to determine the impact of S4 on global gene expression profile in LN229 cells. Our results show that S4 induces immunogenic cell death via the response to endoplasmic reticulum stress.
Project description:The human promyelocytic cell line HL60/S4 can be differentiated into a granulocytic form with the addition of all-trans retinoic acid for 4 days. We investigated the conserved and differentiated responses to TNF in the granulocytic and promyelocytic forms of HL60/S4 cells.
