5Aza and TSA treatment of MCF7 cells (RNA-seq). 5Aza and TSA treatment of MCF7 cells (RNA-seq)

The goal of this study is to identify the gene expression changes caused by exposure of to the DNMT inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5Aza) and HDAC inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA). We performed rRNA-depleted RNA sequencing of the untreated and drug-treated MCF7 breast cancer cell lines and carried out differential gene expression analysis. Although 5Aza caused a stranger demethylation effect than TSA, there were fewer differentially expressed gene in the 5Aza-treated MCF7 than the TSA-treated cells.
