Next-generation sequencing reveals a novel role of lysine-specific demethylase 1 in adhesion of rhabdomyosarcoma cells [RNA-seq]

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) has been shown to be overexpressed in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) tumor samples. This study aims at elucidating changes in the RNA expression profile by RNA Sequencing in control and LSD1 knockdown conditions using transient silencing with siRNA. In addition, ChIP Sequencing was employed to investigate changes in the histone methylation pattern of H3K4me2 as a target of LSD1 in control and LSD1 knockdown conditions. Examination of changes in RNA expression profile between wildtype and knockdown conditions. Experiment was performed in three biological replicates.
