Transcriptomic profiling of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells of mesenchymal or amoeboid migratory phenotype
Amoeboid and mesenchymal migration of cancer cells both contribute to metastatic spreading of tumors. To characterize gene expression profiles underlying the different migratory modes, we performed RNA sequencing of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells undergoing mesenchymal-amoeboid transition induced by either doxycycline-inducible constitutively active RhoA or dasatinib treatment. Cells were kept in three-dimensional collagen gels with or without induction for 48 hours. RNA was isolated with a modified Chomczynski protocol. RNA-seq libraries were constructed from DNase I treated, rRNA depleted total RNA and sequenced with Illumina 2000/2500 sequencers.
