Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute the majority of transcripts in the mammalian genomes, and yet, their functions remain largely unknown. As part of the FANTOM6 project, we systematically knocked down the expression of 285 lncRNAs in human dermal fibroblasts and quantified cellular growth, morphological changes, and transcriptomic responses using Capped Analysis of Gene Expression (CAGE). Antisense oligonucleotides targeting the same lncRNAs exhibited global concordance, and the molecular phenotype, measured by CAGE, recapitulated the observed cellular phenotypes while providing additional insights on the affected genes and pathways. Here, we disseminate the largest-todate lncRNA knockdown data set with molecular phenotyping (over 1000 CAGE deep-sequencing libraries) for further exploration and highlight functional roles for ZNF213-AS1 and lnc-KHDC3L-2.
Errata: The authors would like to correct Figure 3, panel J, in which the rightmost upper image of SA-β-gal stained 293T cells following short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated knockdown of RRAS2 with sh769 (RRAS2-KD-sh769) was inadvertently, and due to a labeling error, taken from the same original source image presented in the middle upper panel, which shows increased SA-β-gal activity following RRAS2 knockdown by a different shRNA (sh646). This correction does not affect any of the conclusions of the article. The corrected image representative of RRAS2-KD-sh769 is provided below, and Figure 3 has been updated in the article online.
