mRNA-seq and AGO2-RIP-seq of JURKAT T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line upon overexpression of hsa-miR-143-3p
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hsa-miR-143-3p on global gene expression in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and to unravel its direct target genes. For this purpose we selected Jurkat T-ALL cell line characterized by low expression of this miRNA. The cells were transduced either with pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1_GFP_puro empty vector (System Biosciences) or pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1_GFP pre-mir-143 vector, each variant in three biological replicates. Total RNA was isolated from each samples. Additionally, RISC complexes containing miRNAs bound to their target mRNAs were isolated by AGO2 immunoprecipitation and the obtained fraction of RISC-bound RNA was isolated from each sample. All 12 libraries (6 total RNA samples and 6 AGO2-RIP samples) were sequenced on Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, in 2x150 mode, with a coverage of 60M paired reads/sample.
