Project description:To determine the effect of adherence on the metabolic and functional response of human monocytes. Monocytes were stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) under non-adherent and adherent conditions. To determine the role of glycolysis in LPS-induced immune responses, this pathway was inhibited by glucose deprivation or the glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG).
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of cancer stem cells (sphere-cultured cells) comparing non-cancer stem cells (adherent-cultured cells). Goal was to identity cancer stem cell-specific genes.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cell line CaSki comparing adherent cultured cells with spheres cultured in serum free culture medium. Goal was to identify candidate antigens for immunotherapy targeting cancer stem cells.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Atlantic salmon adherent HKLs that were cultured for 1 day (24 h) and cultured for 5 days (120 h). Our previous data (RNA-seq, morphology and phagocytosis) indicate that Day 1 cells are predominatly monocytes while Day 5 cells are predominatly macrophages.
Project description:Analysis of genes induced in DC precursors and in BM cells and monocytes treated with GM-CSF For progenitor arrays, bone marrow progenitors (CMP, GMP, CDP, and pre-cDC) were harvested from WT C57Bl/6 mice. For culture arrays, BM was cultured in the presence of GM-CSF or M-CSF and adherent and non-adherent cells sorted. For monocyte cultures, sorted BM monocytes were treated with GM-CSF for 0, 24 or 48 hours.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human cervical squamous cell carcinoma cell line CaSki comparing adherent cultured cells with spheres cultured in serum free culture medium. Goal was to identify candidate antigens for immunotherapy targeting cancer stem cells. Two-condition experiment, CaSki vs. CaSki-sphere cells.
Project description:Aim: investigate how the Wnt-driven Mll1 epigenome regulates salivary gland and head and neck cancer. We performed mRNA-seq and ChIP-seq of H3K4me1, me2 and me3 on mouse salivary gland cancer cells that are kept in two different growth conditions, adherent culture and non-adherent sphere culture. Mouse salivary gland cancer cells were isolated from salivary gland of transgenic mouse that harbor K14-Cre-induced Wnt/β-catenin gain-of-function and Bmpr1a loss-of-function mutations.
Project description:MSC-adherent hematopoietic stem and progenotir cells (HSPC) express adhesion-associated genes at higher levels than non-adherent cells while cell-cycle and differentiation-associated genes are not significantly changed between the two cell populations. We used microarray to confirm identity of MSC-adherent and non-adherent cord blood-derived HSPCs and to exclude that cell cycle and differentiation affect adhesive capacity.
