Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:To assess if gene expression signatures could predict acute graft-versus-host disease, we examined the global gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells at day +14 post-transplantation from 94 patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation with nonmyeloablative conditioning.
Project description:RATIONALE: Beclomethasone may be an effective treatment for graft-versus-host disease.
PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of beclomethasone in treating patients who have graft-versus-host disease of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, or colon.
Project description:Lethally irradiated C57Bl/6 Act-mOVA mice receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) from C57Bl/6 OT-I animals develop acute graft versus host disease (aGvHD) in a CD8+ T cell-dependent, reproducible manner, and succumb to the disease within 4-7 days. Tracking of UBC-GFP/OT-I graft CD8+ T cells discloses heavy infiltration of the GI tract, liver and lungs at the onset of the disease, and hallmark histologic features of acute gastrointestinal and hepatic GvHD, and aGVHD-associated lymphocytic bronchitis. This dataset describes gene expression patterns of CD45.1/OT-1 CD8+ T cells retrieved from the graft before (aHSCT + Day 0), and from various target organs of the host after (aHSCT + Day 4) grafting them into Act-mOVA recipients.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
