Genome-wide RNA-expression analysis after p53 activation in hepatocellular carcinoma

In order to characterize the differentially expressed mRNAs after the p53 activation ,RNA-seq were used after the overexpression of p53 in HepG2 cells. Four samples of HepG2 cells were subjected to RNA-seq in two biological replicates.The HepG2 cells were treated with 1µg/ml doxorubicin for 24 hours to induce the expression of p53. The experimental group(dox-treated HepG2：HepG2_24h_rep1 and HepG2_24h_rep2) and control group(untreated HepG2: HepG2_0h_rep1 and HepG2_0h_rep2) were subjected to RNA-seq to identify the p53-regulated mRNAs.
