Project description:The response of tumors to PDT treatment is expected to provide information on effects of oxygen depletion, induced apoptosis, induction of an inflammatory response and induction of an ani-tumor immune response. Experiment Overall Design: NCI-H69 human SCLC xenografts were induced in SCID mice. Three pairs of xenograft tumors, PDT treated and untreated controls, were harvested four hours after PDT treatment. RNA was isolated and prepared for hybridization to human Affymetrix GeneChip arrays.
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:In this study, we characterize the fusion protein produced by the EPC1-PHF1 translocation in Low Grade Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma (LG-ESS) and Ossifying FibroMyxoid Tumors (OFMT). We express the fusion protein and necessary controls in K562 Cells. The fusion protein assembles a mega-complex harboring both NuA4/TIP60 and PRC2 subunits and enzymatic activities and leads to mislocalization of chromatin marks in the genome, linked to aberrant gene expression.
