Project description:Question Addresses: What is the gene expression profile from human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human Jurkat T cells after irradiation (IR)? What, if any, is the effect of co-culturing these two cell types on gene expression? There are eight experimental conditions for this experiment: (1) non-irradiated HUVEC; (2) irradiated HUVEC; (3) non-irradiated Jurkat; (4) irradiated Jurkat; (5) non-irradiated HUVEC + non-irradiated Jurkat+; (6) non-irradiated HUVEC + irradiated Jurkat; (7) irradiated HUVEC + non-irradiated Jurkat; (8) irradiated HUVEC + irradiated Jurkat. A common, pooled reference consisting of RNA taken from conditions 1-8 as described above was used for all hybridizations.
Project description:HUVEC (N=3 isolates) were separately grown to sub-confluency, and to confluency. In order to study the effects of growth and contact inhibition on the transcriptome, the microarray gene expression profiles of these sub-confluent and confluent HUVEC were compared. Keywords: HUVEC, confluency, contact inhibition
Project description:HUVEC were left untreated or stimulated for 5h with 2 ng/ml TNF. Comparsion of the gene profiles revealed TNF-mediated gene expression changes in HUVEC. Keywords: parallel sample
