Project description:Investigating how the Wnt-driven Mll1 epigenome regulates salivary gland and head and neck cancer. We performed mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 on mouse salivary gland cancer cells that are kept in two different growth conditions, adherent culture and non-adherent sphere culture. Mouse salivary gland cancer cells were isolated from salivary gland of transgenic mouse that harbor K14-Cre-induced Wnt/β-catenin gain-of-function and Bmpr1a loss-of-function mutations. Anti-H3K4me1 (C15410194), -me2 (C15410035) and -me3 (C15410003-50) antibodies were purchased from Diagenode. ChIP-seq was performed according to the protocols provided by Diagenode using the iDeal ChIP-seq kit for histones and the iDeal library preparation kit. For mRNA-seq, mRNA was extracted according to the standard TRIzol protocol (Invitrogen) and subjected to library preparation using the TruSeq stranded mRNA library preparation kit. Sequencing was performed with the TruSeq SBS Kit v3-HS (2 X 200 cycles) on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer.
Project description:The submandibular salivary gland stroma makes up only a small portion of the total salivary gland and the stromal response to salivary gland injury has been understudied. We used single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) to analyze which cell types are present in deligated and homeostatic salivary glands, how the cell type abundance is altered during regeneration, and how the transcriptome of those cells is being altered. This will allow us to examine which cell types are important contributors torecovery from salivary gland ductal ligation injury.

We used single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) to analyze which cell types are present in ductal ligated and mock surgery salivary glands, how the cell type abundance is altered during injury, and how the transcriptome of those cells is being altered. This will allow us to examine which cell types are important contributors to recovery from salivary gland ductal ligation injury.
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.
