Project description:To investigate the specific roles of SIRT1 in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, we employed large-scale gene expression analysis to identify the molecular signature that may affect enabling characteristics of cancer cells. Differentially expressed genes were analyzed on the SNU-182 cells transfected with SIRT1 siRNA and recapitulated molecular signatures that related to hallmarks of cancer. SIRT1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma was analyzed by RT-PCR and western blot. RNA interference-mediated protein knockdown method was used to investigate oncogenic potential of SIRT1 in hepatocelluar carcinoma
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.
