Project description:Aim: to detect genes that are differentially transcribed in neuronal cells(SK-N-SH) over-expressing either of the two MECP2 isoforms, MECP2_e1 or MECP2_e2. Methods: the human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was stably infected by lentiviral vectors over-expressing MECP2_e1, MECP2_e2, or eGFP, and were then differentiated into neurons. RNA extracted, and used for gene expression microarray analysis
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:The SH-SY5Y Human neuroblastoma cell line was subcloned from the SK-N-SH cell line, which has been isolated from a bone marrow biopsy of a 4 year-old female patient. To examine the overall distribution of gene expression under stress condition in human neuronal cells, we investigated changes in the transcriptome profiles in the SH-SY5Y cells exposed with sodium arsenite which causes oxidative stress. We detected changes in the expression levels for several genes including FOS and Jun, which are well-known stress-dependent upregulated genes.
