Project description:The transcriptional program in the response of human fibroblasts to serum. Serum was added to fibroblasts, and samples were taken. This study is described more fully in Iyer VR, et al. 1999. Science 283:83-7 Keywords: time-course
Project description:The transcriptional program in the response of human fibroblasts to serum. Serum was added to fibroblasts in the presence of cycloheximide. This study is described more fully in Iyer VR, et al. 1999. Science 283:83-7 Keywords: time-course
Project description:PI-3K inhibitor (LY294002) was added to quiescent fibroblasts 30 minutes prior growth factor/serum treatments. The role of PI-3K pathway was thus monitored by comparing with untreated samples. Keywords: time course, growth factor response, cell line comparison
Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an incurable lung disease with a poor prognosis. Fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are the key cells in the fibrotic process. Pirfenidone was approved as an anti-fibrotic drug for IPF treatment as it is able to slow disease progression. The mechanisms by which the drug acts on fibroblasts are not clear. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effects of pirfenidone on the human lung fibroblast (HLF) transcriptome in vitro.
Project description:We used microarrays to profile gene expression changes following growth factor stimulation of primary human fibroblasts. We serum starved (0.1% serum) fibroblasts for 48 hrs and restimulated with 10% serum for 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hrs. Total RNA was extracted from 2 independent biological replicas for each time point and hybridized to expression arrays.

Project description:Foreskin fibroblasts CRL 2091 (ATCC) were serum starved for 48 hours, and harvested at the indicated time points after switching to media with 10% FBS essentially as described (Iyer et al., 1999). RNA from all of the sampled time points were pooled as reference RNA to compare with RNA from individual time points as described (Iyer et al., 1999).
Project description:Normal fibroblasts and SSc fibroblasts between the third and six subpassages were used for experiments. Normal and scleroderma fibroblasts were serum-starved for 24 hours and incubated in the presence or absence of TGF-β1 (2ng/ml) for 6 hours. Total RNA was extracted from culture cells with ISOGEN (Nippon Gene, Tokyo, Japan). MicroRNA isolation from total RNA was performed using RT2 qPCR-Grade miRNA Isolation Kit (SA Bioscience). For RT2 Profiler PCR Array (SABioscience), microRNAs were reverse-transcribed into first strand cDNA using RT2 miRNA First Strand Kit (SABiosciences). A mixture of equal amounts of cDNAs from 5 normal fibroblasts or 5 SSc fibroblasts was prepared. The cDNA was mixed with RT2 SYBR Green/ROX qPCR Master Mix and the mixture was added into a 96-well RT2 miRNA PCR Array (SABiosciences) that included primer pairs for 88 human microRNAs.
Project description:Quiescent human fibroblasts (2091 and Wi-38) were stimulated with different growth factors and serum. Cells were collected at 6 different time points followed by global transcriptional profiling. Keywords: time course, growth factor response, cell line comparison
