Project description:We analyzed the global effect of SOX9 overexpression by sequencing the transcriptomes of HUVECs transduced with SOX9 expression plasmid or an empty vector control.
Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to investigate the responses of HUVECs after the stimulation of conidia of A. fumigatus Methods: HUVECs were stimulated with conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus for 2 and 6 hours. Three biological repeats of stimulated cells or un-stimulated controls were send for RNA sequencing. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 40 million sequence reads per sample to the human genome (build hg38) and identified round 80,000 transcripts in the HUVECs upon stimulation. Conclusions: Our resutls showed the detailed analysis of HUVECs transcriptomes upton conidia of Aspergillus fumigatus stimulation.
Project description:We reported the application of RNA sequecing to broadly understand the pathways associated with HUVECs exposed to vehicle, NETs, or NETs + defibrotide. We identified 440 differentially expressed genes (300 upregulated) in HUVECs upon NET stimulation as compared with vehicle. Conversely, there were 229 differentially expressed genes (192 downregulated) when the NETs + defibrotide group was compared to NETs alone.
Project description:H3K27Ac is one of the expressed enhancer markers in endothelial cells, but its genomic localization is unknown. This time, we established a new antibody for H3K27ac, and performed ChIP-seq to identify H3K27ac binding site in whole genome manner under hypoxia. We used chromatin immunoprecipitation with deep sequencing (ChIP-seq) of HUVECs treated with or without hypoxia (1%O2) for 24hours, then H3K27ac binding regions were identified. Normoxia was used as a control condition. HUVECs were used within the first 6 passages.
