Project description:Cell viability and global gene expression was anayzed from collagen 1 hydrogel scaffolds following 3 hours of cyclic mechanical loading and compared with non-loaded scaffolds. Experiment Overall Design: 6 samples are analyzed (2 sets in triplicate). The first set is the Loaded condition in which Collagen 1 hydrogels seeded with Human dermal fibroblasts underwent cyclic loading of 0.1Hz for 180 minutes at 37 degrees Celsius. The second set is the control Unloaded condition in which the Collagen 1 hydrogels seeded with Human dermal fibroblasts are incubated at 37 degrees Celsius with no loading.
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.
Project description:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
