Whole transcriptomes analyses of HGC-27 cell line treated with control DMSO, disulfiram, thiram or CX-6258

Purpose: To figure out the molecular function of disulfiram, thiram and CX-6258, RNA sequencing was performed to analyze the geome-wide change of disulfiram, thiram and CX-6258 treated HGC-27 cells compared to those of control DMSO treated cells. Methods: Total mRNA was extracted from HGC-27 cells. Then RNA quality was assessed using an Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 and the sample reads were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq 4000 platform. As a reasult, we got the transcript data using Hisat2 followed by Stringtie. qRT–PCR validation was performed using TaqMan and SYBR Green assays. Conclusion: The results showed disulfiram, thiram and CX-6258 may target distinct combinations of various pathways including Hippo pathway. The Hippo signaling indeed can be targeted by disulfiram, thiram and CX-6258 even though these compounds also interfere with other biological processes. Total mRNA was extracted from HGC-27 cells treated with control DMSO, disulfiram, thiram or CX-6258. The quality was assessed using Agilent 2100, and the profiles were sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000.
