RNA sequencing of human nontransformed retinal pigment epithelia RPE-PPM1D-T2 cells carrying a truncating mutation in exon 6 of the PPM1D – CLONE 0 AND CLONE 1
Human nontransformed retinal pigment epithelia RPE-PPM1D-T2 cells carrying a truncating mutation in exon 6 of the PPM1D were exposed to ionising radiation (3 Gy) and subsequently were grown in semisolid media for 8 weeks. Six spheroid clones (RPE-PPM1D-T2-SA clones 1-6) were recovered and then were cultivated in adherent conditions. RNA was isolated from asynchronically growing parental RPE-PPM1D-T2 and transformed RPE-PPM1D-T2-SA-1 to 6 cells and was subjected to whole exome sequencing. RNA sequencing libraries were prepared using KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit (Roche) and were sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 system using NovaSeq S1 Reagent Kit v1.5, 200 cycles (Illumina) with mean coverage >120 for RNA samples, respectively. RNA fastq files were mapped to the hg19 reference using Novoalign (novoalign_2.08.03). PCR duplicates were removed from the BAM files using Picard Tools (picard-tools 1.129), and variant calling was performed using GATK HaplotypeCaller (3.8). RNA fastq files were mapped to the hg19 reference using STAR (STAR-2.5.2b). The PCR duplicates were removed using Picard Tools (picard-tools 1.129). All parts of RNAseq data analysis were conducted in R, version 4.3.2. and RNAseq read counts were normalized using R package DESeq2. Fold change (FC) and log2FC were calculated from normalized reads, nontransformed RPE-PPM1D-T1 cells were considered a reference. Significance of differential expression for each gene was evaluated by Fisher's t-test with simulated p-values and Holm's p-value correction for multiple comparisons.
