Transcriptome analysis of gene expression in MCF-7 cell upon circFAT1(e2) depletion

In previous study, we found circFAT1(e2) was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. And this factor is also a crucial role in breast cancer genesis and development. So in this study, we knocked down circFAT1(e2) in MCF-7 cells. The viability and metastasis was significantly inhibited with circFAT1(e2) depletion. In order to explore the potential down-stream gene of circFAT1(e2) in breast cancer cells. We extracted the total RNA from circFAT1(e2) knockdown MCF-7 cells and negative control group by using TriZol reagent. Then, toal RNA was subjected to transcriptome sequencing to determine the potential down-stream targets of circFAT1(e2). We expect to reveal the underlied mechanism of the regulatory effect on breast cancer of circFAT1(e2). Overall design: CircFAT1(e2) was knocked down in siZ5 group to identify the down-stream genes of this circRNA in MCF-7 cell, and siNC was used as a knockdown control in this experiment.
