transcriptome-wide map of NCSTN-KD and NC Hacat cells

Acne inversa (AI) is an inflammatory skin disease associated with the nicastrin (NCSTN) mutations. Family history with autosomal dominant inheritance has heen reported in AI patients and are associated with mutations in the γ-secretase subunit, nicastrin (NCSTN), presenilin enhancer 2 (PSENEN), and presenilin-1 (PSEN1). Among them, NCSTN gene has the highest mutation rate. To detect the impact of NCSTN deficiency on AI keratinocytes. Here, using the short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated gene knockdown and RNA sequencing technology, we explored the differentially expressed genes regulated by NCSTN deficiency in HaCaT cells.
