Specific transcriptional signature dataset of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 5 in leiomyosarcoma derived cell lines
Two uterine leiomyosarcoma cell lines, SK-UT-1 and AA, underwent ERK5 genetic knockdown via lentiviral transduction with shRNA followed by puromycin selection. Knockdown efficiency was confirmed through RT-qPCR and Western blotting. RNA sequencing was performed using the DNBSEQ platform. Raw reads underwent quality filtering and were aligned to the human genome (GRCh38.p13) with Bowtie2. Gene expression was quantified by RSEM, and differential expression analysis was conducted with DESeq2 (|log2FC|≥ 1, q-value ≤ 0.05). As a result, we identified 1218 and 227 differentially expressed genes for AA and SK-UT-1 respectively, and 81 in common for both cell lines. The raw and RNAseq data and sequences are available at the NCBI GEO repository under GSE297879. Sequence comparison could reveal new therapeutic targets based on the ERK5 signalling pathway, which is critical in experimental models of soft-tissue sarcoma.
