Project description:TOX is a nuclear factor essential for the development of CD4+ T cells in the thymus. TOX is found to be aberrantly up-regulated in the skin biopsies and in the blood CD4+ T cells of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. The goal of this study is to identify potential transcriptional targets of TOX in CTCL by comparison between TOX shRNA transfected CTCL cells (Hut78 and HH) and control CTCL cells. Two color experiment. Lentivirus transduced control vector vs. TOX shRNA vectors on Hut78 and HH cell lines. Biological replicates: 3 control replicates, 3 shRNA tansduced replicates for each cell line.

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.
