Transcriptome profile of ATP7B KO cells and WT cells treated with Copper (Cu) to study Autophagy as a pro-survival mechanism in Wilson disease. Transcriptome profile of ATP7B KO cells and WT cells treated with Copper (Cu) to study Autophagy as a pro-survival mechanism in Wilson disease

To understand whether hepatic cells use autophagy to defend against Cu toxicity in WD, we employed ATP7B knockout (ATP7B-KO) HepG2 cell line, by Quant-seq experiments. Transcriptome analysis of the of ATP7B KO cells and WT cells treated with Copper (Cu) compared with untreated cells. Overall design: total RNA was extracted from ATP7B KO cells and WT cells treated with Copper (Cu); RNA extracted from untreated cells was used as control.
