Project description:Expression profiling of human myositis muscle samples This study was designed to compare expression signatures among the various types of inflammatory myopathy, dermatomyositis (DM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), necrotizing myopathy (NM), nonspecific myopathy (NS), and polymyositis (PM) compared to normal (NL) muscle.
Project description:Inclusion body myopathy associated with Paget disease of bone and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD) is caused by mutations in the Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) gene on chromosome 9p12-13. To elucidate affected signaling transduction axes in IBMPFD, we determined expression profiles using microarray technology in quadriceps muscle from patients and unaffected relatives.
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.
