Project description:Comparison between the effects of progesterone (P4) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) combined to estradiol (E2) on gene expression in normal breast cells to provide insight on their possible different impact on breast cancer risk in vivo.
Project description:Cells were cotreated with dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate and estrdiol to assess the combinatorial effects of hormone exposure in breast cancer cells
Project description:Cells were cotreated with estrogen and dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate to assess the combinatorial effects of progestogens or androgens with estrogen in T47D breast cancer cells
Project description:Comparison between the effects of progesterone (P4) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) combined to estradiol (E2) on gene expression in normal breast cells to provide insight on their possible different impact on breast cancer risk in vivo. Total RNA obtained from cultures of normal human breast epithelial cells (HBE) under E2, E2+MPA and E2+P4 six hour treatments, compared to untreated HBE cells
Project description:Cells were cotreated with dihydrotestosterone, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate and estrdiol to assess the combinatorial effects of hormone exposure in breast cancer cells Cells were plated in hormone stripped media for 56h, followed by treatment for 16h with 10nM of the nominated hormone(s)
Project description:Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) is a progestin that can bind to and activate progesterone, androgen and glucocorticoid receptors. However, it is not known which receptor mediates MPA action in a cellular context where all three of these receptors are co-expressed and functional. This microarray experiment was performed to compare the transcriptomes induced by MPA and the cognate ligands for these receptors ie progesterone (PROG), 5a-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and dexamethasone (DEX) in breast cancer cells to determine which was most similar to MPA.
Project description:Here we report the gene expression profile of in vitro cultured human endometrial stromal cells treated with siRNA targeting FOXO1 piror to eutherian differentiation media exposure. The eutherian differentiation media contains cyclic AMP (cAMP) analogue 8-Br-cAMP and the progesterone (P4) analogue medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA).
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.
