Transcriptome analysis of gene expression in MCF-7 cell upon circFAT1(e2) depletion

In previous study, we found circFAT1(e2) was highly expressed in breast cancer tissues and cell lines. And this factor is also a crucial role in breast cancer genesis and development. So in this study, we knocked down circFAT1(e2) in MCF-7 cells. The viability and metastasis was significantly inhibited with circFAT1(e2) depletion. In order to explore the potential down-stream gene of circFAT1(e2) in breast cancer cells. We extracted the total RNA from circFAT1(e2) knockdown MCF-7 cells and negative control group by using TriZol reagent. Then, toal RNA was subjected to transcriptome sequencing to determine the potential down-stream targets of circFAT1(e2). We expect to reveal the underlied mechanism of the regulatory effect on breast cancer of circFAT1(e2). CircFAT1(e2) was knocked down in siZ5 group to identify the down-stream genes of this circRNA in MCF-7 cell, and siNC was used as a knockdown control in this experiment.
