Project description:KLF2 and KLF4 are important transcriptional factors in endothelial cells, however their roles in statin treatment has not been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts of statin treated HUVECs transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4. We used repeated microarray analysis of HUVECs treated with pitavastatin for 4hours. Before statin treatment, cells were transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4.

We used repeated microarray analysis of HUVECs treated with pitavastatin for 4hours. Before statin treatment, cells were transfected with siRNA KLF2 or KLF4. HUVECs were used within the first 6 passages. For studies, HUVECs were cultivated in medium EGM2MV containing pitavastatin at a concentration of 1 micromolar.
Project description:Total 23 samples were derived from [1] HUVEC treated in the absence (0h) or presence of hypoxia (1, 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hrs) to determine hypoxia-regulated gene in endothelial cells, [2] control siRNA or HIF1α siRNA transfected HUVEC cells treated in the absence or presence of hypoxia, [3] control siRNA or KDM3A siRNA transfected HUVEC cells treated in the absence or presence of hypoxia, [4] ChIP-seq data for HIF1 binding sites and histone modifications under normoxia and hypoxia in endothelial cells.
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.
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.
