RNA-Seq of control and EJC factor (EIF4A3, RBM8A, MAGOH) knockdowns in part with EIF4A3 rescue in HeLa Tet-Off cells

The exon junction complex is involved in gene expression regulation on multiple co- and post-transcriptional levels. We aimed to investigate in HeLa Tet-Off cells which gene expression alterations can be observed upon knockdown of core EJC factors (EIF4A3, RBM8A and MAGOH) or upon EIF4A3 knockdown and rescue with EIF4A3 wild type construct by using RNA-Seq analyses. The rescue construct was stably integrated into the genome using the PiggyBac transposon system. As control Luciferase (Luc) siRNA was used.
