RNA-seq analysis of U251 cells following tRF-3021a knockdown at 8 and 48 hours

Listed in NCBI GEO

tRNA-derived fragments (tRFs) are relatively recently discovered small RNAs implicated in gene-regulatory processes in diverse biological contexts, but there have been few reports of clear phenotypic roles for these small RNAs in cancer progression.

Description

High expression of the 3' tRFs tRF-3009a, tRF-3021a, and tRF-3030a is associated with poor overall survival in low-grade glioma. In glioblastoma cells, these tRFs enhance invasion and migration, while tRF-3021a is uniquely required for cell proliferation, suppression of apoptosis, and maintenance of global protein synthesis.

This RNA-seq study profiles transcriptomic changes following tRF-3021a knockdown in U251 cells at early and late time points (8 hours and 48 hours)
