Project description:So far, we have found phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induced ubiquitin specific peptidase (USP) 2b isoform in myeloid leukemia cell lines such as HL60, THP-1, and U937. HL60, THP-1, and U937 undergoes differentiation into macrophage-like cells after stimulation with phorbol ester. To explore molecular function of USP2 in macrophages especially during lipopolysaccharide(LPS) response, we assess expression profiles of HL60-derivatives continuously expressing shRNA for USP2 and control shRNA.

To explore molecular function of USP2 in the cells, we assess expression profiles of HL60-derivatives continuously expressing shRNA for USP2 and control shRNA. HL60 derivatives continuously expressing shRNA for USP2 and control shRNA were treated with PMA (30nM) for 0, 1, 2, and 3 days. Total RNA was extracted from the cells and subjected to microarray experiments using Human Genome U133 GeneChips.
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:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
