Project description:To identify target genes regulated by ALKBH5 in osteosarcoma, we silenced the expression of ALKBH5 in osteosarcoma cell line-U2OS and tested its effect on U2OS transcriptome.
Project description:To identify the genes regulated by the androgen receptor (AR), we performed RNA-seq in the U2OS-AR cell line (derived from U2OS ATTC:HTB-96, stably transfected with an expression construct for human AR), upon androgen (R1881) or vehicle (DMSO) treatment for 24 hours.
Project description:CRISPR screen: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells expressing Cas9 were transduced with a whole-genome library of CRISPR sgRNAs, then treated with either DMSO or etoposide. Differential sgRNA abundances were calculated for each condition and used to determine the effect of each single gene knockout on fitness and the drug-induced death rate. RNA-Seq: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells were cultured with either DMSO or etoposide for 48 hours, and then U2OS cells were incubated in this conditioned media for 8 hours. RNA was collected and use to observe differential expression changes between conditions.
Project description:PRDM5 is a recently identified member of the PRDM family of proteins, which functions as a transcriptional repressor by recruiting histone methyltransferase G9A to DNA, and behaves as a putative tumor suppressor in different types of cancer. We investigated PRDM5 function by identifying its target genes in U2OS cells at different time points after expression of PRDM5 protein. Keywords: Transcriptional regulation, time course
