Project description:This was a controlled pilot study of 9 healthy adults admitted to the General Clinical Research Center at the University of North Carolina Hospital. After 3 days of clinical acclimatization, 6 subjects received a single 4g bolus dose or a placebo. Peripheral blood was collected on each day preceeding dosage, and then 6, 18, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post dosing. Total RNA was extracted and analyzed for differential gene expression on Agilent Human 1vA2 microarray chips.
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.
