Project description:Microarray data to accompany Gauger et al. (2009) Cancer Cell International paper A treated X untreated design was used whereby immortalized human mammary epithelial cell lines (TERT cells) were modified to stably express an siRNA that knocked down SFRP1 expression. These "treated" cells were labeled with Cy5 and four replicate harvests were hybridized to Agilent 4by44k whole genome microarrays, along with a Cy3 labeled untreated control. The untreated control consisted of 4 pooled harvests of the parent cell line in normal growth conditions at 60-80% confluence.
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.
