Project description:2',3,5-Trimethoxychalcone (MC-23) triggers apoptosis independently of p53 in MiaPaCa2 cells. To understand the mechanism of action of MC-23, we analysed the gene expression profiles in MiaPaCa2 cells treated with 10 μM MC-23 for 6, 12, or 24 h using the Agilent human 44K oligonucleotide V2 microarray. Out of the 34,127 genes in the array, MC-23 upregulated ~3% and downregulated. Notably, a large number of genes associated with apoptosis (such as BAX, BAK), chaperones (such as HSPA1/HSP70, HSPA5/GRP78/BiP), and the unfolded protein response (such as IRE1α, CHOP/DDIT3/GADD153, XBP1, ATF4, ATF6) were highly up-regulated by MC-23 treatment, suggesting that ER stress is associated with MC-23-induced apoptosis.
Project description:2',3,5-Trimethoxychalcone (MC-23) triggers apoptosis independently of p53 in MiaPaCa2 cells. To understand the mechanism of action of MC-23, we analysed the gene expression profiles in MiaPaCa2 cells treated with 10 M-NM-<M MC-23 for 6, 12, or 24 h using the Agilent human 44K oligonucleotide V2 microarray. Out of the 34,127 genes in the array, MC-23 upregulated ~3% and downregulated. Notably, a large number of genes associated with apoptosis (such as BAX, BAK), chaperones (such as HSPA1/HSP70, HSPA5/GRP78/BiP), and the unfolded protein response (such as IRE1M-NM-1, CHOP/DDIT3/GADD153, XBP1, ATF4, ATF6) were highly up-regulated by MC-23 treatment, suggesting that ER stress is associated with MC-23-induced apoptosis. Global gene expression profile was measured at 6, 12, and 24 hours after exposure to doses of 10 M-NM-<M MC-23 in MiaPaCa2 cells. Three independent experiments were performed at each time using different experiments.
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: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. One-condition experment, gene expression of 3A6
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.
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. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic MSCs.
