genetics - Effect of single-gene overexpression in the cell's response

Which are the factors that modify the overall gene differential expression by introducing a vector for single-gene overexpression?



If you overexpress a gene for a protein involved in signal transduction (e.g., a kinase, scaffold, or receptor) by vector cell transfection, then you overdrive the cell using this signaling pathway, it's useful to isolate the pathway and study them.



Is there any way to modify the overall gene expression or cell differential expression pattern by gene transfection? I think this would work if you delivered a gene for overexpression in proteins involved for RNA processing (e.g., splicing, ribosomal proteins, etc.), RNA transcription (e.g., TFs) or protein translation.
