Project description:In order investigate the control of genes encoding cytoskeletal motor proteins and their interaction partners in primary T-cells, we performed whole transcriptome microarray profiling of cell activation for memory and naïve T-cells isolated from three anonymous blood donors.
Project description:In order investigate the control of genes encoding cytoskeletal motor proteins and their interaction partners in the activation program of primary monocytes, we performed whole transcriptome microarray profiling of ex vivo monocyte differentiation to activated macrophages or dendritic cells in monocytes isolated from three anonymous blood donors. Monocytes were isolated from the buffy coats of three anonymous blood donors and differentiated into activated macrophages or activated dendritic cells (DCs) ex vivo. Total RNA from monocytes, activated macrophages or DCs was isolated and submitted for whole transcriptome microarray analysis.

Project description:Oxidized phospoholipids are a pro-inflammatory component of minimally modified lipoproteins that get trapped in the subendothelial space of atherosclerotic plaques of large arteries. To model the response of endothelial cells in a pro-atherosclerotic enviroment we measured the expression in primary endothelial cells with and without treatment with oxidized phsopolipids from 96 genetically identical donors of anonymous origin.
Project description:Study of BLaER1 cell line epigenetic changes induced throughout transdifferentiation. The Illumina Infinium MethylationEPIC Beadchip was used to obtain genomewide methylation profiles of BLaER1 cells at 7 different times throughout transdifferentiation treatment (0h, 3h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h and 168h). As a reference, the parental RCH-ACV cell line at 168h of treatment and anonymous donor blood derived macrophages were also profiled.
Project description:Human leukocyte cones were obtained from anonymous blood donors and peripheral blood B cells were isolated from PMBCs following ficoll density centrifugation. Isolated B cells were cultured in normoxia or 1% O2 for 24 h and RNA was extracted using an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). This study was approved by the East of England - Cambridge Central Research Ethics Committee (REC reference 08/H0308/176).
Project description:Gene expression profiles from anonymous, non-tumoral Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded colon samples, either positive or negative to diverticulosis. Samples were obtained from a Biobank hosted at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV), to serve as reference pool for comparison with colon gene expression microarray studies.

To model the response of endothelial cells in a pro-atherosclerotic enviroment we measured the expression in primary endothelial cells with and without treatment with oxidized phsopolipids from 96 genetically identical donors of anonymous origin. These samples are an extention of samples of similar origin deposited in GSE20060
