Project description:Purpose: to find the potential down-stream target gene of circFAM120A Methods: mRNA profiles of decidualized human endometrial stromal cells (hESCs) after down-regulated FAM120A and control using siRNA were generated by NGS and compared by bioinformatics analysis Results: we sequenced 26414 mRNAs in hESCs between the si-NC and si-circFAM120A groups and identified 242 differentially expressed mRNAs, between which 161 were downregulated and 81 were up-regulated in si-circFAM120A group Conclusions: Our study represents the detailed analysis of decidualized hESCs transcriptomes between si-NC and si-circFAM120A groups.
Project description:To examine the role of long non-coding RNA TMPO-AS1 in breast cancer, MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with siRNAs targeting TMPO-AS1 (siTMPO-AS1) or control siRNA (siControl). 3 samples
Project description:Purpose: Tumor metastasis is the main cause of death from breast cancer patients and cell migration plays a critical role in metastasis. Recent studies have shown long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an essential role in the initiation and progression of cancer. In the present study, the role of a LncRNA, Rho GTPase Activating Protein 5- Antisense 1 (ARHGAP5-AS1) in breast cancer was investigated. Methods: RNA sequencing was performed to find out dysregulated LncRNAs in MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells. Transwell migration assays and F-actin staining were utilized to estimate cell migration ability. RNA pulldown assays and RNA immunoprecipitation were used to prove the interaction between ARHGAP5-AS1 and SMAD7. Western blot and immunofluorescence imaging were used to examine the protein levels. Dual luciferase reporter assays were performed to evaluate the activation of TGF-β signaling. Results: Compared to MDA-MB-231 cells, the expression of LncRNA ARHGAP5-AS1 (NR_027263) was significantly suppressed in its highly metastatic subtype MDA-MB-231-LM2 cells. Functional study showed ARHGAP5-AS1 could inhibit cell migration via suppression of stress fibers in breast cancer cell lines. Afterwards, SMAD7 was further identified to interact with ARHGAP5-AS1 by its PY motif and thus its ubiquitination and degradation was blocked due to reduced interaction with E3 ligase SMURF1 and SMURF2. Moreover, ARHGAP5-AS1 could inhibit TGF-β signaling pathway due to its inhibitory role on SMAD7. Conclusion: Overall, these findings demonstrate that ARHGAP5-AS1 inhibits breast cancer cell migration and could serve as a novel biomarker for breast cancer metastasis and a potent target for the treatment in the future.

Project description:Dicer, RNase III endonuclease, is an essential enzyme in miRNA biogenesis that regulates target gene expression, and it has been reported that aberrant expressions of Dicer associate with the clinical outcomes of patients in various cancers. To explore the miRNA differencial expression regulated by Dicer in MDA-MB-231/E1A cells, the microarray profiling analysis was employed to conduct differentially expressed miRNAs in stable MDA-MB-231/vector, MDA-MB-231/E1A, and MDA-MB-231/E1A/shDicer cells.
