GSE109483: Next-generation RNA-sequencing data of models of Ewing sarcoma with modulated expression of the lncRNA HOTAIR

• Organsim human
• Type RNASEQ
• Target gene
• Project ARCHS4

Purpose: Our experimental results demonstrate an essential role for the lncRNA HOTAIR in Ewing sarcoma. We have repressed HOTAIR expression in three Ewing sarcoma cell lines and overexpressed HOTAIR, alone and with EWS-FLI1, in htert-immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate its effects on gene expression in this cancer.; Methods: RNA-Seq of Ewing sarcoma cell lines with HOTAIR represssed by GapmeR or treated with nonsilencing control, and hTERT-immortalized hMSCs with expression of control GFP, HOTAIR, or HOTAIR and EWS-FLI1, was used for gene expression analysis.; Results: Defined gene expression signatures were defined as driven by HOTAIR in each cell line model, with a consensus set of gene identified in the Ewing sarcoma cell lines. Additionally, a set of genes regulated by HOTAIR independently of EWS-FLI1 was identified in the hTERT-hMSC models.; Conclusions: HOTAIR expression regulates a set of genes critical to viability, cell adhesion, cell motility, and other markers of EMT and metastasis in Ewing sarcoma, independently of EWS-FLI1.
