RNA-seq of mouse myeloma cell line SP 2/0 cells compared to naive B cells

Both multiple myeloma (MM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are characterized with abnormal production of plasma cells. In both diseases, the process of B cells differentiate into plasmablast/plasma cell is disordered. Despite the continuous research on the development of prognostic factors and introduction of new agents, dysregulation of plasmablast/plasma cells in MM and SLE is still uncontrolled. Thus, it is necessary to explore the novel therapeutic target to plasmablast/plasma cells. Because of plasmablast-like, Mus musculus myeloma SP 2/0 cell line was selected to explore the novel therapeutic target to plasmablast/plasma cells. To explore the novel therapeutic target to plasmablast/plasma cells, we determined mRNA profiles in SP 2/0 cells compared to naive B cells by RNA-seq. RNA-seq was done with an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument at GENEWIZ, Suzhou, China.
