SRP299484 PRJNA688255 GSE163937 Transcriptome analysis of mercury chloride (HgCl2) treated H1299 human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells Purpose: finding differential transcripts usage in environmentally harzardous chemical, mercury chloride (HgCl2) in human non-small cell lung carcinoma cells Methods: transcriptome analysis by the RNA-seq via mRNA pull-down Results: We found that HgCl2 increases cellular toxicity by the increasing of apoptosis via caspase-3 independent pathway in H12999 cells. Also, over thounds of altered gene expression pattern were detected from the RNA-seq analysis. Conclusions: mercury chloride (HgCl2) increases cytotoxic effects and apoptosis in H1299 cells through the caspase-3 independent pathway and changes the context of trascript Overall design: H1299 cells were treated with various concentration of mercury chloride and all experiments were duplicated.
