HCFC2 knockdown in human colorectal cancer cell lines
Listed in NCBI GEO
There is an urgent and unmet need for improved therapeutic approaches against aggressive colorectal cancer (CRC).
Description
Host Cell Factor 2 (HCF-2) is a transcriptional coactivator with an emerging role in cancer biology. Our data suggest that HCF-2 is a critical effector of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator 1 beta (PGC-1β) signaling in CRC, supporting its potential as a targetable vulnerability in aggressive disease.
Previous findings from our lab show that shRNA-mediated depletion of HCF-2 decreases anchorage-independent growth in CRC models, indicating a role for HCF-2 in CRC cell survival. To identify transcriptional programs regulated downstream of HCF-2, we performed RNA-seq following shRNA-mediated HCF-2 knockdown in SW620 and T84 CRC cell lines. Knockdown efficiency was confirmed by western blot prior to sample submission, and RNA-seq data were provided to collaborators for downstream computational analysis.

The resulting transcriptomic profile will help define HCF-2-dependent gene expression programs and potential targetable vulnerabilities in aggressive CRC.
