The mRNAs alteration induced by Neat1 knockdown in HT22 cells

We knocked down the lncRNA-Neat1 by RNA interference in HT22 cells, which were immortalized from the mice hippocampal neurons. Then we measured the mRNA alteration induced by Neat1 knockdown through the next generation sequencing technique (RNA-seq). A total of 18,309 transcripts were detected in the current sequencing study, in which 593 transcripts were selected out according to the criteria: |log2(fold change)| > 1, P < 0.05 (22 up-regulated and 571 down-regulated). To explore whether the mRNA change induced by Neat1 knockdown in a stressed culture condition was different from that in normal condition, the cells were dealt with OGD and followed by RNA-seq. A total of 18,502 transcripts were detected, in which 121 transcripts were significantly up-regulated and 126 transcripts were significantly down-regulated according to the aforementioned filter rules. We carried out RNA-seq to detect the mRNA change induced by Neat1 knockdown in normal culture condition and stressed condition.
