Project description:To evaluate the effect on lincRNA expression by p53 family members, we overexpressed p53 family members in H1299 cells and evaluated the lincRNA expression by microarray analysis.
Project description:To evaluate the effect on lincRNA expression by p53 family members, we overexpressed p53 family members in H1299 cells and evaluated the lincRNA expression by microarray analysis. lincRNA expression was measured in H1299 cells infected with adenovirus expressing LacZ, p53, p63a, p63g, p73a and p73b.
Project description:To evaluate the effect on gene expression by p53 family members and AKR1B10, we overexpressed p53 family members in H1299 cells or knocked down AKR1B10 in HCT116 cells and evaluated the gene expression by microarray analysis.

Gene expression was measured in H1299 cells infected with adenovirus expressing p53, p63g and p73b, and in HCT116 cells transfected with siRNAs targeting AKR1B10 and then treated with adriamycin.
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:The p53-regulated long non-coding RNA, lincRNA-p21, has been proposed to promote apoptosis and to repress in trans the expression of genes in the p53 transcriptional network. Here, we report the generation of a conditional knockout mouse model developed to further examine lincRNA-p21 function. Using this genetic approach, we find that the primary function of lincRNA-p21 is to activate in cis the expression of its neighboring gene, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21. Mechanistically, we show that lincRNA-p21 acts in concert with hnRNP-K as a co-activator for p53-dependent transcription of p21. Additional phenotypes of lincRNA-p21 deficiency, including deregulated expression and altered chromatin state of a set of Polycomb target genes, defective G1/S checkpoint, increased proliferation rates, and enhanced reprogramming efficiency could be attributed to diminished p21 levels. This study reveals a novel paradigm, whereby the long non-coding RNA lincRNA-p21 affects global gene expression and influences events in the p53 tumor suppressor pathway by acting in cis as a locus-restricted transcriptional co-activator for p53-mediated expression of p21. Examination of 2 different histone modifications (H3K4me3 and H3K27me3) in 2 cell types (WT and lincRNA-p21 KO) in the presence and absence of Doxorubicin.
