Project description:To investigate the role of AEBP1 involved in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), we inhibited AEBP1 expression by specific siRNA in human HSC line LX-2 cells. Total RNA was loaded for bulk RNA sequencing.
Project description:In this study, high-throughput RNA sequencing technology combined with bioinformatics analysis was used to compare the differentially expressed mRNA of TGF-β1-treated LX-2 cells with that of the control group in hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of the biological function and signaling pathway changes in the activation process of LX-2 cells, as well as to identify potential key genes regulating HSC activation.
Project description:Hepatic stellate cells(HSCs) are the main effector cells of liver fibrosis. In order to study the effect of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) on microRNAs expression of HSCs, we co-cultured HSCs LX-2 activated by TGFβ1 with human umbilical cord MSCs(hUC-MSCs) for 48 hours, and compared the differentially expressed miRNA with LX-2 cultured alone by high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that two mature microRNAs expressed increased, and nine expressed decreased.
