Comparative transcriptome data of ARPE-19 cells with and without HTRA1 overexpression

To explore the key signaling pathways that might be affected by up-regulated HTRA1, we performed RNA-seq analysis on ARPE-19 cells infected with HTRA1 adenovirus and negative control adenovirus for 24 h. Compare with control groups, there were 2810 differentially expressed genes (log2 |fold change|> 1, log10 adjusted p-values < 0.05) were identified to be associated with distinct biological processes. 1053 genes were significantly upregulated and 1757 genes were significantly downregulated in ARPE-19 cells overexpressing HTRA1. The KEGG pathways analysis of up-regulated and down-regulated genes and ranking the enrichment pathways according to the corrected p-value. In the KEGG pathways analysis of up-regulated genes, the metabolic pathways ranked first with 84 genes involved. And in the KEGG pathways analysis of down-regulated genes, the metabolic pathways ranked third with 104 genes involved. These results revealed that up-regulated HTRA1 prominently disturbed the metabolic pathways in ARPE-19 cells. Overall design: The mRNA profiles of ARPE-19 cell with HTRA1 overexression (three replicates) and the control group without HTRA1 overexpression (three replicates)
