Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs. Two-condition experiment, KP MSCs vs. 3A6 MSCs.
Project description:A Cartes d'Identite des Tumeurs (CIT) project from the French National League Against Cancer (http://cit.ligue-cancer.net ) 25 glioblastoma multiforme tumors hybridized on Illumina SNP and Affymetrix gene expression arrays. Project leader : François DUCRAY (francois.ducray@chu-lyon.fr). CIT Analysis : Julien LAFFAIRE (laffairej@ligue-cancer.net). Note: PFS : progression-free survival, OS: Overall Survival,BCNU : Carmustine (chemotherapy agent). RESPONDER: if the patient has shown or not shown a response to the treatment (Bevacizumab (Avastin) plus Irinotecan). Progression during : If the disease has progressed (cancer relapse or patient's death); otherwise (patient is alive without relapse).
