Transcriptional profile changes by Prox1 expression in thyroid cancer cells

Human thyroid cancer cell line BCPAP was engineered for doxycyclin-mediated inducible expressoin of Prox1 and next generation sequcing was performed to study the transcriptional regulation by Prox1 Overall design: BCPAP cells were infected with rTTA2 lentivirus. The resulting cell populations were then stably transfected either with pIRES-hygromycin vector (Clontech) to generate BCPAP-Ctr cells, or with Flag-PROX1-IRES-hygromycin vector to generate BCPAP-Prx cells. PROX1 expression was induced or not in BCPAP-Ctr and BCPAP-Prx cells with 0.5 µg/ml doxycycline (Dox) for 48 hours and the total RNA samples were collected for sequencing.
