Transcriptome analysis upon SIN3 or dKDM5/LID knockdown or both under normal  and paraquat induced stress conditions in Drosophila S2 cultured cells
SIN3 the scaffold protein of a histone deacetylase complex interacts with a histone demethylase KDM5 (little imaginal discs - LID) in Drosophila. Reduction of SIN3 or dKDM5/LID both result in similar phenotypes during cell proliferation and wing development. To identify underlying transcriptional changes that may contribute to these phenotypic defects we performed whole genome expression analysis in Drosophila cultured cells upon RNAi-mediated knockdown of Sin3A, lid or both. We identified a large number of genes regulated by SIN3, dKDM5/LID or both. While many common genes were regulated by SIN3 and dKDM5/LID an enrichment for genes involved in stress tolerance pathways was observed. Additional RNAseq analysis of expression changes upon knockdown of Sin3A, lid or both under paraquat mediated oxidative stress conditions identified significant changes in genes involved in cell cycle related processes.
