Project description:The effects of stimulating intestinal epithelial cells with Th17 cytokines, IL17 and IL22, was investigated Experiment Overall Design: The human colonic epithelial cell line, T84 was grown to confluency in standard transwell plates and either mock treated, or treated with cytokines IL17 and IL22

Project description:To investigate the influence of Interleukin-22 (IL-22) on colonic intestinal stem cells, we assessed gene expression in these cells during homeostasis and after induction of DNA damage. IL-22 is a lymphocyte-derived cytokine that targets exclusively non-hematopoietic cells. The receptor is expressed on intestinal epithelial cells, including Lgr5+ stem cells. The colonic Lgr5+ epithelial stem cells were highly purified as DAPI-EpCam+CD45-CD24MedLgr5+. DNA damage was induced by whole body irradiation with 8 Gy and cells were isolated 24h after exposure. The following populations were analyzed: Wildtype, unirradiated (Ctrl) Il22-/-, unirradiated (Ctrl) Wildtype, 24h after 8Gy Il22-/-, 24h after 8Gy
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.
