Project description:YAP1 plays importance roles in development of colorectal cancer as evidenced by their overexpression in colorectal cancer and their expression promoted cell proliferation and survival of colorectal cancer cells. In order to understand potential roles of YAP1 in colorectal cancer, we over-expressed constitutively active YAP1 mutant in NCI-H716 colorectal cancer cells and identified and analyzed genes whose expression is activated by YAP1 activation in colorectal cancer. Pre-clinical study

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.
