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: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.
Project description:In order to gain insights into how PPARg regulates different facets of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, we sought to identify PPARg regulated genes and gene networks in monocyte-derived dendritic cells using global gene expression profiling. We employed an exogenous ligand activation approach using a selective PPARg ligand (rosiglitazone abbreviated as RSG). In addition, we have defined culture conditions in which human serum (HS) induces PPARg activation via a yet uncharacterized endogenous mechanism. We also compared the gene expression profile of developing dendritic cells obtained from patients harboring dominant negative mutations of the PPARg receptor (C114R and C131Y). Keywords: ligand response
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. One-condition experment, gene expression of 3A6
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.
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. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic MSCs.
Project description:Our data indicated that activation of the PPARg nuclear receptor induces a retinoid response in human dendritic cells. In order to assess the contribution of retinoid signaling to the PPARg response we decided to use a combination of pharmacological activators and inhibitors of these pathways. Cells were treated with the synthetic PPARg ligand rosiglitazone (RSG), or with RSG along with the RARa antagonist (AGN193109) to block RARa mediated gene expression, or the RARa specific agonists (AM580) alone. This design allows one to determine if retinoid signaling is a downstream event of PPARg activation and what portion of PPARg regulated genes are regulated via induced retinoid signaling. Keywords: ligand response
