Project description:HOX A13 over expression represents: i) a novel molecular marker of hepatocellular carcinomas; ii) a sign of epithelial-endothelial transition accounting for tumor independent angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Experiment Overall Design: Genomic analysis of high HOX A13 expressing pairs (HCC/non tumorous liver tissues) to investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the increased expression of HOX A13 in liver cancers and to identify potential HOX A13 targets.

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:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
