Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE30513: MicroRNA expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma cancer stem cells GSE31144: MicroRNA expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma cell lines upon TARBP2 depletion GSE31145: MicroRNA expression profiling of Ewing sarcoma spheres vs. adherent cells Refer to individual Series
Project description:STAG2, a member of cohesin, is one of the most recurrently mutated genes in human cancer. Here, we investigated STAG2 function in the context of Ewing sarcoma, an aggressive bone tumor driven by EWS-FLI1 oncogene chimeric transcription factor. Five different Ewing sarcoma cell lines were transfected with siCT or 2 different siRNAs targeting STAG2 (siSA2#6 or siSA2#8). RNA in A673 & TC71 (siSTAG2) was extracted 24, 48 and 72 hours post-transfection. RNA in EW1, CHLA-10 and CHLA-258 (siSTAG2 and siEWSR1-FLI1) was extracted 72 hours post-transfection. RNA-seq based anlayses of these experiments highligted that STAG2 knock-down alters EWSR1-FLI1 activation signature.
Project description:EWS-FLI1 is the driver oncogene in >85% of Ewing sarcoma tumors. We used siRNA to knock down EWS-FLI1 for 48h hours in two Ewing sarcoma cell lines (EW8, TC71) to identify downstream genes and pathways affected by loss of EWS-FLI1 activity. RNAseq analysis was performed after 48 hours of treatment with a nontargeting siControl or siEWS-FLI1.
Project description:STAG2 is a member of cohesin complex and its gene is one of the most recurrently mutated in human cancer including in Ewing sarcoma. Here, we investigated STAG2 function in the context of Ewing sarcoma and performed transcriptome profiling of a panel of 15 WT and 15 mutated STAG2 established Ewing sarcoma cell lines.
Project description:Identification of genes and pathways altered by PlaB, a bacterial natural product that acts as a spliceosome modulator by targeting the SF3b subunit of the spliceosome SKNMC, TC32, TC71, and RD-ES Ewing sarcoma cell lines were treated with 0.1% (v/v) DMSO vehicle or 5nM PlaB for 24 hours. Three samples in each group were analyzed.
