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:A novel strategy to hinder the progression of multiple myeloma involves inhibiting NAD+ production. While solely targeting the NAMPT enzyme proved ineffective, the Preiss-Handler pathway, especially NAPRT1, emerged as pivotal in rescuing cancer cells. Cells lacking NAPRT1 become more susceptible to oxidative stress, and the dual targeting of NAMPT/NAPRT1 increased the efficacy of chemotherapy in multiple myelom.
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.
