Identification of beta-catenin-associated RNAs in myeloid leukaemia cells through RIP-seq

Myeloid cell lines (K562 and HEL) were treated overnight with CHIR99021 or a vehicle control (DMSO). CHIR99021 treatment inhibits GSK3B within the destruction complex functioning in Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, thereby preventing beta-catenin degradation and promoting its stabilization. Following the overnight incubation, beta-catenin RIP (RNA immunoprecipitation) was performed in both K562 and HEL cells. RNA samples obtained from beta-catenin RIP in these cells were then sequenced to identify beta-catenin-associated RNAs under CHIR99021 treatment compared to basal conditions (DMSO control).
