1. To identify lncRNA regulating colorectal tumorigenesis, we performed RNA-seq analysis of cells with high and low tumorigenicity 2. To study the role of UPAT in colorectal cancer cells, we investigated the gene expression profiles of HCT116 cells in which UPAT expression had been suppressed by siRNA.

View SamplesThe placenta has shown morphological and functional adaption in Meishan and Yorkshire pig breeds during late gestation. While the vast difference of uterine capacity and conceptus genotype between Western and Chinese pig breeds affects the pattern of placental development. Whether the placenta within Chinese pig breed also has similar adaptive changes is still unknown. So, we measured the weight and area of 80 Chinese indigenous Diannan small-ear pig placentas and further selected 6 placentas from extremely high and low litter size groups (HL and LL) for deep RNA-sequencing to detect the molecular basis relate to the observed placental phenotype difference.

View SamplesCellular dedifferentiation signifies the withdrawal of cells from a specific differentiated state into a stem cell-like undifferentiated state. However, the mechanism of dedifferentiation remains obscure. We showed that follicular granulosa cells (GC), which have distinct functions in vivo, can dedifferentiate during culture in vitro and acquire multipotency.
Dedifferentiated follicular granulosa cells derived from pig ovary can transdifferentiate into osteoblasts.

View SamplesDNA Topoisomerase I (Top1) relaxes DNA supercoiling and is inhibited with high specificity by camptothecin, a natural product of chinese tree Camptotheca acuminata with anticancer activity. Topoisomerase activity is required at transcribing regions to modulate DNA supercoils generated by RNA polymerases. However, Top1 functions at promoters and molecular responses to CPT are not fully understood. We found that camptothecin increases antisense RNA polymerase II transcripts at active divergent CpG-island promoters in a replication-independent manner. Kinetics investigations of the formation of Top1-DNA cleavage complexes and non-B DNA structures showed that CPT interferes with Top1 modulation of negative DNA supercoiling at promoters. The present findings will be a resource to establish the role of such antisense RNAs in transcription regulation and to discover additional components of the response pathway. Moreover, the transcriptional camptothecin effects can be the molecular basis of the therapeutic activity in cancer as well as neurological syndromes.

View SamplesHepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is primarily treated with a pegylated interferon alpha based therapy, a regime that induces antiviral effects through the upregulation of many interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). Whilst a number of anti-HCV ISGs have previously been identified, others may also be involved.

View SamplesTransposons in maize may be involved in the formation of circRNAs and further modulate phenotypic variation. To test our hypothesis, we performed circRNA-Seq(RNase R treated) on B73 seedlings(third leaves of V3 stage), and uncovered 1,572 high-confidence maize circRNAs, which show distinct genomic features compared to linear transcripts. Comprehensive analyses showed that LINE1-like elements (LLE) and their reverse complementary pairs (RCPLLEs) are significantly enriched in the flanking regions of circRNAs.
Circular RNAs mediated by transposons are associated with transcriptomic and phenotypic variation in maize.
