Project description:In this experiment we determined the effects of FBS supplementation and subsequent deprivation (after second passage) on the whole transcriptome, including comprehensive mRNA and miRNA profiling.

Project description:Human adipose stem cells (ASCs) have been shown, in pre-clinical studies, to have therapeutic applicability in diverse fields, but a standard expansion method for clinical applications remains yet to be established. Isolated ASCs are typically expanded in medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS). However, sera and other animal-derived culture reagents stage numerous safety issues in clinical therapy, including possible infections and severe immune reactions. By expanding the ASCs in medium containing human serum (HS), the problem can be eliminated. To define how allogeneic HS performs in ASC expansion compared to FBS, we used microarrays to explore differences in gene expression between human adipose stem cells expanded in allogeneic human serum and fetal bovine serum.

To define how allogeneic HS performs in ASC expansion compared to FBS, we used microarrays to explore differences in gene expression between human adipose stem cells expanded in allogeneic human serum and fetal bovine serum. Adipose stem cells from 5 human donors were cultured in two media containing either 1) 10 % fetal bovine serum or 2) 15 % allogeneic human serum, and collected for RNA extraction and hybridization to 10 Affymetrix arrays. This experiment represents a paired design since cells of each donor were cultured in both conditions.
Project description:By employing a global gene expression profiling, we performed analysis of the molecular pathways which are deregulated in prostate cancer cell lines DU145 and LNCaP grown under standard and glutamine deprived condition. Both oriignal cell lines and their radioresistant derivatives DU145-RR and LNCaP-RR were analyzed
Project description:Human adipose tissue contains two populations of progenitors (EPCs and ASCs) with cooperative roles in breast cancer. EPCs (CD45-CD34+CD31+CD13-CCRL2+) can generate endothelial cells. ASCs (CD45-CD34+CD31-CD13+CD140b+) are mesenchymal progenitors which generated pericytes. CD13+ cells and CD13- cells from 7 Lipotransfer aspirate
Project description:ASCs cultured in complete medium, ASCs cultured in serum serum-deprived medium, and ASCs stimulated with VEGF in serum-deprived medium were compared. Using microarray analysis, gene expression from the whole genome was compared between conditions. Compared to ASCs in complete medium, expression of 190 and 108 ASC genes were significantly regulated altered by serum deprivation and serum deprivation combined with VEGF, respectively. No significant differences in gene expression patterns between serum-deprived ASCs and serum-deprived ASC combined with VEGF stimulation were found. Genes most prominently and significantly up-regulated by both conditions were growth factors (IGF1, BMP6, PDGFD, FGF9), adhesion molecule CLSTN2, extracellular matrix related proteins like matricellular proteins SMOC2, SPON1 and ADAMTS12, and inhibitors of proliferation (JAG1). The most significantly down-regulated genes included matrix metalloproteinases (MMP3, MMP1), and proliferation markers (CDKN3) and GREM2, - a BMP6 antagonist.
