NAT10 depletion suppresses fatty acid metabolism in MCF7 breast cancer cells
NAT10 is an RNA cytidine transferase known to add acetyl group on RNA transcripts thereby promoting translational efficiency. It was reported that NAT10 regulates epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), DNA damage, and cell proliferation in cancers. However, weather NAT10  regulates other crucial pathways is unknown. In our study we conducted gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of MCF7 NAT10 KO and scramble control. High throughput sequencing revealed fatty acid metabolism as the top enriched pathway with fatty acid metabolic genes such ELOVL6, ACSL1, ACSL3, ACSL4, ACADSB, and ACAT1 were found to be differentially down-regulated. Overall our results revealed NAT10 depletion suppresses fatty acid metabolism in MCF7. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for MCF7 cells and its KD derivatives (siNAT10).
