Project description:During mitosis, TATA-binding protein(TBP), which remains bound to DNA during mitosis, recruits PP2A and also interacts with a subunit of the condensin complex to allow efficient dephosphorylation and inactivation of condensin near these promoters to inhibit their compaction.

These result suggest that TBP function is not only important for expression of genes transcribed by all three RNA polymerase during interphase, but also for transmitting the memory of gene activity through mitosis to daughter cellsy all three RNA polymerase during interphase, but also for transmitting the memory of gene activity through mitosis to daughter cells We use ChIP-chip approach to identify TBP-bindind sites in mitotic Jurkat cells at genome-wide level. Input DNA fragments and DNA fragments immunoprecipitated by TBP antibodies by ChIP assay on mitotic Jurkat cells were used to probe the Affymetrix Genechip human tiling 2.0c to identift TBP-binding sites in mitotic Jurkat cells. Input and ChIP sample were replicated three times as following: Input rep1, TBP ChIP1, Input rep2, TBP ChIP2, Input rep3, TBP ChIP3.
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.
