Project description:We identified the target genes of FTO ("fat mass and obesity associated") in primary cultures of human skeletal muscle cells using adenoviral vectors expressing FTO or GFP and oligonucleotide microarrays. Human myotubes were prepared from 4 different skeletal muscle biopsies. After differentiation, myotubes were infected for 48 hours with recombinant adenovirus expressing either GFP or FTO. Each FTO-infected myotubes culture was compared to GFP-infected myotubes culture. GFP-infected myotubes were regarded as the control. Four biological replicates were processed.
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.
