Gene expression profile at single cell level of HeLa cells treated with the CDC7-specific inhibitor TAK-931 [scRNA-seq]

We performed scRNA-seq analyses to determine the transcriptional landscape of the TAK-931-induced aneuploid cells at the single-cell levels. HeLa cells were treated with DMSO or TAK-931 (300 nM) for 72 h. In the t-SNE plots, the DMSO- and TAK-931-treated cells were classified in two distinct clusters. Indicating that the major population of the TAK-931-treated aneuploid HeLa cells was transformed to a cell contexture that was transcriptionally distinct from that of DMSO-treated control cells. The hallmark of an inflammatory response was remarkably enriched in the TAK-931 treatment cluster. In addition, the positive cells of inflammatory cytokine/chemokine-related genes, such as CXCL8, IL1B, TNHSF14 and TNFRSF1B, were significantly accumulated in the TAK-931-treatment cluster. Transcriptome analyses were conducted to capture the signaling networks comprehensively in the TAK-931-induced aneuploidcells. HeLa cells were treated with DMSO or TAK-931 (300 nMa) for 72 h.
