Project description:Analysis of the effects of targeting NOS2 at the gene expression level. Our studies demonstrated a role for NOS2 in glioma biology through the maintenance of the glioma stem cell phenotype. Microarray results provide novel targets of NOS2 and suggest mechanisms through which NOS2 contributes to glioma stem cell biology. Glioma stem cells isolated from two different human glioma xenografts were infected with a non-targeting control shRNA or two different shRNAs directed against NOS2 (each treatment in each tumor performed in technical duplicates).

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: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.
