GSE87577: Transcriptional study of ARN8 cells treated with novel DHODH inhibitors

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

We have previously observed protein level changes after treating human cells with two novel inhibitors of the enzyme DHODH. This study was designed to study up to what degree these protein differences can be also observed at level of mRNA. As part of the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway, DHODH inhibition is expected to decrease the levels of total RNA in cells. However, some effector proteins associated with the p53 pathway are increased after treatment with these inhibitors. This study aims to answer if the observed protein differences are based on an increased transcription or due to protein stabilization.
