Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-Seq) of ACHN cells upon treatment of the 25nM,50nM Piericidin A or DMSO(0.1%) for exploring the mechanism of Piericidin A against the renal cell carcinoma

Piericidin A (PA), the most common member of the family of piericidins, is fermented from Streptomyces#sp.HBERC#58855. We have found that PA had significant cytostatic activity against the ACHN cells, which can be used as a potential drug against renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Therefore, we used the second-generation transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) to determine the expression changes of various genes in ACHN cells treated with PA (25nM,50nM) or DMSO (0.1%), so that we can investigate the molecular mechanism of PA against the RCC. mRNA profiles of ACHN cells upon treatment of the 25nM,50nM Piericidin A or DMSO(0.1%) were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeqTM 4000
