-Graduation Project: Examining the Consequences of H19 RNA Knockdown on the Expression Levels of Apoptotic Genes under Hypoxic Conditions.

-Description: Investigated the role of H19 long non-coding RNA in regulating apoptotic gene expression in cancer cells under hypoxic conditions. Utilized shRNA constructs to knock down H19 expression in HT-29 and MDA-231 cell lines, representing colorectal adenocarcinoma and breast cancer. Aimed to uncover molecular mechanisms underlying cancer cell survival in low oxygen environments, providing insights for targeted therapeutic approaches.

_Technologies Used:

- Transfection of shRNA Plasmids to Competent Bacteria

- Molecular Biology Techniques (e.g., RNA interference using shRNA constructs)

- Cell Culture (maintaining HT-29 and MDA-231 cancer cell lines under normoxic and hypoxic conditions)

- Gene Expression Analysis (polymerase chain reaction (PCR), gel electrophoresis)

- Bioinformatics Tools (analyzing gene expression data, identifying interactions between H19 RNA and apoptotic genes
