Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: We had evidence that TRIM5 regulates signal transduction, specifically NFkB and MAPK pathways. To test the role of endogenous TRIM5 we used the myelomonocytic leukemia cell line THP1. These cells were transduced with a lentiviral vector that delivers a miRNA engineered to knockdown TRIM5. The vector also encoded a puromycin-resistance cassette and transduced cells were selected in poold with puromycin. As a control, cells were transduced with a vector targeting luciferase instead of TRIM5.Overall design: After selection in puromycin, the TRIM5 KD and Luciferase KD cells were differentiated into macrophages by treatment with PMA. 3 days later, RNA was harvested for analysis.
