Project description:Obacunone treatment upregulates gene expression of cholesterol metabolism-associated genes in HaCaT cells Total RNA obtained from HaCaT cells treated with 100 uM obacunone for 0.5, 1, 3, 6, or 12 h was compared to that of vehicle control cells.
Project description:Obacunone treatment upregulates gene expression of cholesterol and lipid metabolism-associated genes in HaCaT cells Total RNA obtained from HaCaT cells treated with 10, 50, or 100 uM obacunoe for 4 h was compared to that of vehicle control cells.
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:The p53 protein is encoded by TP53 gene and plays the key role in significant number of cellular processes including proliferation, apoptosis and regulation of many stress response pathways. P53 acts like a direct transcription activator of numerous genes regulating cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, growth inhibition and many others (Mollereau and Ma, 2014). The canonical biological function of p53 is maintaining genome integrity via elimination of damaged or exposed to genotoxic stress cells. Immortalized HaCaT cells are widely used for keratinocyte research, since they maintain stable keratinocyte phenotype, have nearly unlimited proliferative potential, do not require specific growth and differentiation factors (Colombo et al., 2017). Also, HaCaT cells produce typical differentiation markers such as cytokeratins K14 and K10, involucrin (Colombo et al., 2017) and respond to keratinocyte differentiation stimuli. Taking together, HaCaT cells have similar to normal human keratinocytes (NHK) properties, however, as many of spontaneously immortalized cell lines HaCaT cells bear two mutant p53 alleles - R282Q and H179Y (Lehman et al., 1993). Mutp53 in HaCaT has an increased affinity to other p53 family members (p63, p73), which significantly expands p53 properties. Moreover, mutp53 indirectly affects specific target genes via protein-protein interactions with other transcription factors (NF-Y, E2F1, NF-KB) or by tethering p63 to new promotor locations. For more detailed investigation of mutp53 impact on various processes in HaCaT cells we performed a shRNA mediated knockdown of mutp53. For generation of stable TP53 knockdown we employed plasmid vector pLKO-p53-shRNA-941 (Addgene # #25637) followed by puromycin selection of transduced cells. Here we present proteomic dataset obtained from wild type HaCaT cells and p53 knock down HaCaT keratinocytes.
Project description:We performed MeRIP-seq on (1) two human epidermis tissue and HaCAT (human keratinocyte cell line) cells; (2) HaCAT cell lines with or without ALKBH5 knockdown by siRNA in duplicate experiments.
