Project description:Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are extracellular signaling molecules that belong to the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) superfamily. By regulating target gene transcription, BMPs control various cellular processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and migration. In addition, rBMP2 was used to observe BMP signaling in treatment of ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3. We attempted to address the possible roles of BMP signaling by inhibiting a wide-range of downstream pathways using a small molecule inhibitor of type I BMPRs, dorsomorphin. The potential utility of this molecule as a molecular inhibitor of BMP signaling in treatment of ovarian cancer cell line SK-OV-3 was also evaluated. SK-OV-3 cells were incubated in 12 separate culture dishes, 3 dishes with PBS, 3 dishes with recombinant BMP2 (rBMP2) (100 ng/ml), 3 dishes with DM (5 μM) and 3 dishes with recombinant BMP2 (rBMP2) (100 ng/ml) plus DM (5 μM) in the culture medium for 24 hours prior to the analysis.

Project description:SK-OV-3 cells under prolonged carboplatin exposition turn into giant cells. This dataset contains the transcriptome of cultured SK-OV-3 cells with and without carboplatin.
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.
