Project description:The data is supplementary to the RNA-seq analysis of LPS and palmitate stimulation of THP-1 macrophages (E-MTAB-6064), where palmitate for the cell treatment was dissolved in sodium hydroxide and coupled with BSA at a molar ratio 7.5:1. Here we stimulated THP-1 macrophages with the corresponding concentration of BSA (4%) and NaOH (0.4 mM) in the presence of 10 nM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for 24 hours added to the standard RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) to estimate the effects and compared them with unstimulated THP-1 macrophages cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% FBS and 10nM PMA.
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:Gene expression: Identification of primary target genes of liver X receptor (LXR) in an immune-related cellular model (THP-1 cells) to study, in conjunction with LXR binding data from ChIP-seq, the genome-wide mechanisms of transcriptional regulation by LXR. ChIP-Seq: We performed ChIP-seq in macrophage-type PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells after stimulation with the potent synthetic LXR ligand T0901317 (T09). As a reference we performed microarray gene expression analysis in the same cellular model. We identified in total 1357 LXR binding locations on chromatin (FDR < 1%), of which 526 were observed after T09 treatment. De novo analysis of LXR site sequences identified DR4-type binding sites as major motif. gene expression: THP-1 cells were treated for 4 h with 1 M-BM-5M T09 or vehicle (DMSO) ChIP-Seq: PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells were treated for 60 min with 1 M-BM-5M T09 or vehicle (DMSO)
