Project description:Overexpression of USF1 in HEK293T cells in vitro to ascertain the genes downstream of USF1. Will identify direct targets as well as indirect targets of USF1. Keywords: Overexpression of transcription factor to determine downstream targets. Cloned USF1 from cDNA and transiently transfected into HEK293T cells. Total RNA collected 48 hours after transfection. Empty vector used as control. Expression of USF1 was validated using western blot, and qRT-PCR was used to validate differential expression.

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.
