Project description:The Panc-1 human pancreatic cancer line (ATCC) was constructed to stably express control or GSK3B shRNA. Control or GSK3B shRNA expressing Panc-1 cells were implanted subcutaneously into the flanks of 3-5 week old, female, athymic nude mice. Tumors were grown to at least 250mm3. Tumor tissue was microdissected for further analysis. We compared control shRNA (n=4) to GSK3B shRNA (n=3) Panc-1 xenografts. The array data with simple statistical calculations are also provided in a supplementary Excel workbook, with probe-set annotation that we used at the time (users may want newer annotation). We compared xenografts of Panc-1 (Human pancreatic carcinoma cell line, grown in mice) stably expressing GSK3B shRNA (n=3) to similar xenografts with control shRNA (n=4). Xenografts were grown in the flanks of female, athymic nude mice until they reached at least 250mm3. Tumor tissue was microdissected for further analysis. mRNA abundance assays were performed using Affymetrix HG_U133_plus_2 arrays, with 54675 probe-sets.

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:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
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.
