Transcriptome profile of MV4-11 cells with FEV deficiency

Enhanced homing and uncontrolled expansion are the characteristics of AML cells. We identified a transcription factor FEV (fifth Ewing variant) as the regulator. To assess the regulation mechanisms, FEV expression was knocked down in AML cell line MV4-11 cells using shRNA. MV4-11 cells transduced with non-silencing control (NC), FEV shRNA (shFEV) were cultured for 3 days and sorted by FACS. The cells were collected and total RNA was isolated by the Trizol kit (Takara Bio, Otsu, Japan) according to manufacturer’s protocol. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed by Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) at CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China). Differentially expressed genes were analysed between the two groups. Two groups of MV4-11 cells were transfected with NC or shFEV, with two sample in NC group and four samples in shFEV group, and were sorted by FACS. RNA-seq was performed and differentially expressed genes were analysed.
