Project description:167 Ull-samples 244k array Tumor tissue from a series of 212 primary breast cancers were sequentially collected at Ullevål University Hospital, Oslo, Norway between 1990 and 1994. Tissues were collected at the time of primary surgery and snap frozen. We performed aCGH on 167 of these samples. DNA was isolated using chloroform/phenol extraction, followed by ethanol precipitation. The aCGH-platform was the Agilent Human genome CGH Microarray 244k. The aim of this study was to investigate the genome wide genomic copy number alterations in a cohort of primary breast cancer patients.
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:RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) protocols and bioinformatic pipelines are designed to streamline downstream analyses on sequences believed to be the most important. Here, we have challenged this dogma by preserving ribosomal RNA (rRNA) in our samples and by lowering the minimal RNA size window of our small RNA-Seq analyses to 8 nt
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.
