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:Methylation profiling of human prostate cancer tissues and cell lines. We mapped the global DNA methylation patterns in prostate tissues (n=17) and cells (n=2) from fifty nanograms of genomic DNA using Methylplex-Next Generation Sequencing (M-NGS). In addition, genes methylated in LNCaP and significantly overexpressed after 5’Azacytidine treatment of LNCaP cells are assessed by Agilent gene expression microarray. The comprehensive methylome map presented here will further our understanding of epigenetic regulation of the prostate cancer genome. [Gene expression] Two-condition experiment, control DMSO-treated vs. 5'aza-treated LNCaP at two time points (@24 and 48 hours) in replicates.
