Title of the project : Exploring the role of non-coding RNAs in autophagy and cancer chemoresistance.
Background : Autophagy is the primary process in eukaryotes for the degradation of macromolecules and organelles.
This process is critical in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
Given its function as either a pro-survival or a pro-death phenomenon, autophagy has a complex physio-pathological role.
In some circumstances, autophagy can promote chemosensitivity and contribute to cell death.
The significant contribution of autophagy to cancer drug resistance has led to the introduction of small molecule modulators and natural compounds inhibiting autophagy with the aim of altering the response of cancer cells to chemotherapy.
While the effects of inhibiting autophagy on post-transcriptional signalling pathways have been extensively studied, the information on transcriptional alterations deriving from a blockade of autophagy is still incomplete, especially in relation to non-coding RNAs.
Nonetheless, recent studies are revealing that non-coding RNAs are among the main regulators of autophagy, e.g., via the modulation of chemoresistance pathways.
Description : The objective of this study is to identify the non-coding RNAs regulated by autophagy inhibitors developed in our laboratory.
Preliminary findings indicate that the blockade of autophagy in cancer cells produces significant alterations in the expression of several non-coding RNAs.
The overall aim of this project is to precisely understand which RNAs are affected by anti-autophagic therapies and to characterize their molecular role in mediating autophagy-dependent cancer cell death and/or chemoresistance.
i. MSc or equivalent degree in Molecular Biology or cognate discipline ii. BSc or equivalent degree in Biology, Pharmacology or cognate discipline iii. Proven lab experience in standard molecular biology techniques (Western blotting, PCR, ELISA etc.) iv. Experience in mammalian cell culture techniques i.
Background in non-coding RNAs ii.
Expertise in molecular cloning iii.
Expertise in RNA-seq data analysis iv. Expertise in fluorescent microscopy How to apply.
Prospective students must submit using the online form the following documents 2-page CV, which includes studies, expertise and achievements.
1-page research statement, which includes the choice of a project from the list above and a justification of the choice.
Only if robustly justified, the student may signal their interest also for a second project, but there is no guarantee that this will be taken into account by the selection panel.
A transcript of undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
A valid IELTS certificate, obtained no more than two years before the proposed registration date.
Contact details of two referees.
For this position, ARC accepts candidatures on an ongoing basis (first-come, first-served).
