Project description:Proteomics of HEPG2 cells following FTO overexpression and knockdown. Data accompany our paper entitled “Dynamic Regulation of N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine (m6Am) in Obesity” scheduled for publication in Nature Communications, 2021
Project description:The transcription factor HOXC6 is upregulated in human prostate cancer. SiRNA knockdown of HOXC6 induces apoptosis in LNCaP cells while upregulation rescued LNCaP cells from siRNA-induced apoptosis. We used microarrays to identify the genes whose expression underly the anti-apoptotic and proliferative effects of HOXC6 in LNCaP cells. Keywords: transient overexpression and knockdown
Project description:NEDD9 is important for lung cancer metastasis. However, the detailed mechanism remains elusive. Using the microarray data generated with human lung cancer cell lines with either NEDD9 overexpression or NEDD9 knockdown, we plan to idnetify important signal pathways regulated by NEDD9. This may explain how NEDD9 excutes its function in lung cancer. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. Human lung cancer cell line A549, which has LKB1 loss-of-function mutation and increased expression of NEDD9, was used for two individual NEDD9 knockdown. Human lung cancer cell line CRL-5907, which has wild-type LKB1 and low NEDD9 expression level, was used for NEDD9 overexpression. The microarray was done in A549 cells, A549 cells with two different NEDD9 knockdown; CRL-5907 cells and CRL-5907 cells with NEDD9 overexpression.
