Project description:We used an Aldefluor assay system to study the signaling pathways that regulate the frequency and maintenance of ALDH-positive cell population in MCF-7 cells as a CSC model. Through microarray analysis, we investigated a possible receptor that increases the proportion of the ALDH-positive cell population in MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 were stained with Aldefluor and ALDH-positive cells were sorted using flow cytometry. Gene expression profiles of ALDH+ cells were compared with ALDH- 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: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.
