Transcriptome analysis of bisphenol A (BPA) treated Y79 human retinoblastoma cells

Purpose: finding differential transcripts usage in environmentally harzardous chemical, bisphenol A (BPA) in human retinal cells Methods: transcriptome analysis by the RNA-seq via mRNA pull-down Results: We found that BPA increases cellular toxicity by the increasing of early apoptotic pathway in Y79 cells. Also, over thounds of retained intron events were detected from the RNA-seq analysis. Conclusions: Bisphenol A (BPA) increases early cytotoxic effects in Y79 cells through the early apoptotic pathway and changes the context of trascript through the splicing regulation mechanisms. Y79 cells were treated with various concentration of bisphenol A and all experiments were duplicated.
