Project description:As a histone deacetylase inhibitor, sodium butyrate and its derivative sodium phenylbutyrate involve in cellular events such as proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and cell cycle control via reprogramming gene expression. However, the gene associated with the cell cycle control and molecular signaling triggering cell apopotosis and death are not well elucidated. Here, we treated A549 cells,a cell line belong to the non-small cells lung cancer,with high concentration of sodium butyrate or sodium phenylbutyrate and then used microarray identified differentially-expressed mRNA during this process.
Project description:Analysis of colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line HT-29 treated with Sodium Butyrate. Sodium Butyrate, a HDAC inhibitor present in gut, can differentiate the undifferentiated HT-29 to enterocytes by the induction of brush border enzyme alkaline phosphatase. Results provide the transcriptional profiling underlying the butyrate-induced differentiation of CRC.
Project description:We analyzed a role of histone deacetylases in alternative splicing regulation. Using human exon arrays we identified a list of 683 genes whose splicing changes after HDAC inhibition with sodium butyrate. 6 samples (3 nontreated controls and 3 sodium butyrate treated 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.
