Project description:A human microarray comprising 1658 human genome probes was used to evaluate the specific expression of miRNA between brian glioma stem cells (GSC) and normal neural stem cells(NSC). 2 total RNA samples are analyzed, brian glioma stem cells (GSC) and normal neural stem cells(NSC). cell type: brain glioma stem cells:GSC_1, GSC_2, GSC_3 ; cell line: normal neural stem cells: NSC_1, NSC_2, NSC_3 biological replicate: NSC_1, NSC_2, NSC_3; biological replicate: GSC_1, GSC_2, GSC_3
Project description:A human cDNA microarray comprising 29,187 human genome probes was used to evaluate the transcriptional changes between brian glioma stem cells (GSC) and normal neural stem cells(NSC). There were 6 samples that were analyzed, 3 samples were from glioma stem cells and the other 3 samples form normal neural stem cells were controls. cell type: brain glioma stem cells:GSC_H004, GSC_H005, GSC_H006 ; cell line: normal neural stem cells: NSC_H001, NSC_H002, NSC_H003 biological replicate: NSC_H001, NSC_H002, NSC_H003; biological replicate: GSC_H004, GSC_H005, GSC_H006
Project description:To identify a novel miRNA that is aberrantly expressed in GICs, we analyzed differences in miRNA expression between the human GICs and glioma cell lines and neural stem cells by miRNA microarrays. We examined the miRNA expression profiles of five human GICs that were obtained from human glioma samples and two human glioma cell lines, U87 and U251, and NSC (neural stem cells) as a control.

Project description:Gliomas have been proposed to be driven by a population of neural stem-like cells. We isolated a panel of novel human glioma cell lines using adherent neural stem cell conditions. The normal human foetal (hf) NS cells and the tumorigenic glioma NS cell lines were expanded using growth factors EGF and FGF in adherent culture conditions. In these conditions apoptosis and differentiation are suppressed resulting in more homogeneous populations of stem cells than has been reported previously. We included parallel primary biopsies of non-malignant brain tissue ('Normal Brain'). Experiment Overall Design: Cell lines were expanded until 70-90% confluent and then harvested for RNA extraction. All cell lines were gorwn in identical culture media. We also include 'Normal Brain' samples which are regions of the adult human cortex.
