High-throughput RNA sequencing analysis of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1 transfected with E2F1 siRNA or E2F3 siRNA
Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are using  RNA sequencing analysis to evaluate the effects of si-E2F1 (or E2F3) on the mRNA of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1. Methods: Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1 was transfected with a control non-targeting siRNA to cells or transfected with siRNA targeting E2F1 (or E2F3) for 48 hours in DMEM medium (with 10% serum). Total RNA were extracted and detected by Illumina high-throughput RNA sequencing data analysis. 3 independent biological replicates were plated, transfected in parallel for each control and siRNA. Results: Log-fold changes of up- or down-regulated mRNAs between the control and experiment group were selected with a significance threshold of p<0.05. Conclusions: Our study describes the mRNA changes of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1 transfected with E2F1 (or E2F3) siRNA. Overall design: Human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1 mRNA profiles of “control” (cells was transfected with a control non-targeting siRNA) and “si-E2F1”(cells was transfected with E2F1 siRNA)  and “si-E2F3”(cells was transfected with E2F3 siRNA) were generated by RNA sequecning, using Illumina high-throughput sequencing service (Microanaly, Shanghai, China).
