Project description:To identify changes in splicing patterns following WTAP and TPR knockdown, RNA-sequencing was performed on breast cancer cells transfected with siRNAs targeting WTAP or TPR.
Project description:To examine the role of WTAP in splicing regulation, we performed high-throughput mRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) on RNA isolated from control, WTAP or Virilizer siRNA-treated HUVECs, yielding 12 million uniquely mapped 75nt pair-end tags from each sample. MapSplice software was used for differential expression and differences in transcript splice junctions . mRNA profiles of control, WTAP or Virilizer siRNA-treated HUVECs were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina GAII.

Project description:Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) continues to have the lowest survival rates of all leukemias. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed to improve clinical outcomes for AML patients. Here, we report a novel role for Wilms’ tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) in pathogenesis of AML. We have performed RNA-Seq in K562 cells with knockdown of WTAP to ascertain which genes it regulates. We have 2 replicates of total RNA for K562 cells and 2 replicates with WTAP knocked down
Project description:SETD2 is the specific methyltransferase of H3K36me3, while METTL3, METTL14 and WTAP are the components of m6A methyltransferase complex. To understand the global effect of H3K36me3 on m6A modification, we compared the m6A profiling in SETD2 and METTL3, METTL14 or WTAP knockdown HepG2 cells, and found depletion of H3K36me3 by SETD2 silencing globally reduced m6A in human transcriptome. What’s more, most of the SETD2-dependent hypomethylation sites also responded to knockdown of METTL3, METTL14, or WTAP.
