Project description:FTO, an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) demethylase, can promote cervical cancer cell proliferation and migration. RNA-sequencing of SiHa cells with FTO knockdown was conducted to dissect the differentially expressed genes and the potential mechanism of FTO in cervical cancer.
Project description:From comprehensive expression analysis of RNAseq data, IGF2R was found to correlate with poor prognosis in cervical cancer. Gene knockdown of IGF2R lead to cell death in cervical cancer. To reveal its biological function, we performed microarray analysis using IGF2R knockdown cervical cancer cells. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression alteration by IGF2R gene knockdown by siRNA transfection.
Project description:RNA methylation plays an important role fine tuning translation and subsequently regulating cellular responses and cell fate. The fat mass- and obesity-associated protein (FTO) was recognized as an m6A demethylase and described as an oncogenic factor in leukemia and brain tumors. FTO expression levels are suppressed in ovarian tumors and ovarian cancer stem cells (CSCs). FTO induce cyclic AMP activity through targeting PDE4B and PDE1C by down-regulation of m6A levels in the mRNA transcript. In all or findings point to a tumor suppressor function of FTO in high grade serous OC. FTO induce cyclic AMP activity through targeting PDE4B and PDE1C by down-regulation of m6A levels in the mRNA transcript. In all or findings point to a tumor suppressor function of FTO in high grade serous OC
Project description:To explore the molecular mechanism underlying glucose regulation by hepatic FTO, we used the human hepatocyte Hep-G2 cell line as an experimental platform and analyzed transcriptome changes following FTO knock-down.
