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:Plerixafor (AMD3100) and G-CSF mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) by different mechanisms. A rhesus macaque model was used to compare plerixafor and G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells. Three PBSC concentrates were collected from 3 macaques treated with G-CSF, plerixafor, or plerixafor plus G-CSF. CD34+ cells were isolated by immunoselection and were analyzed by global gene and micro RNA (miR) expression microarrays. Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the gene expression data separated the CD34+ cells into three groups based on mobilization regimen. Plerixafor-mobilized cells were enriched for B cells, T cells and mast cells genes and G-CSF-mobilized cells were enriched for neutrophils, and mononuclear phagocytes (MPs) genes. Genes up-regulated in plerixafor plus G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells included many that were not up-regulated by either agent alone. Two hematopoietic progenitor cell miR, miR-10 and miR-126, and a dendritic cell miR, miR-155, were up-regulated in G-CSF-mobilized CD34+ cells. A pre-B cell acute lymphocytic leukemia miR, miR-143-3p, and a T cell miR, miR-143-5p, were up-regulated in plerixafor plus G-CSF-mobilized cells. The composition of CD34+ cells is dependent on the mobilization protocol. Plerixafor-mobilized CD34+ cells include more B, T, and mast cell precursors while G-CSF-mobilized cells have more neutrophil and MP precursors.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
