Project description:High glucose impairs the angiogenic activities of late endothelial precursor cells (EPC). We found that far infrared (FIR) treatment restored partially the activity of late EPC. However, the mechanisms are unclear. We applied microRNA expression microarrays to assess the microRNA expression profiles of high glucose-treated late EPC with or without FIR treatment.

However, the mechanisms are unclear. We applied microRNA expression microarrays to assess the microRNA expression profiles of high glucose-treated late EPC with or without FIR treatment. Late EPCs isolated from peripheral blood were cultured in high glucose condition for 48 hours, and then treated with or without FIR radiation for 30 minutes. Total RNA were extracted and evaluated with the Agilent Human miRNA Oligo Microarray R14 V2 chips.

Project description:Far-infrared rays activated DNA repair genes in human prostate cancer cells, PC-3, after 12days' exposure to far-infrared rays. As a far-infrared rays emitter, synthetic/natural rubber (RB) was used. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridization Two-condition experiment,RB-treated vs.non-RB-treated cells.: 2 reference control without RB, independently grown and harvested. One replicate per array.
Project description:Far-infrared rays activated DNA repair genes in human prostate epithelial cells after 7 or 12 days' exposure to far-infrared rays. As far-infrared rays emitter, synthetic/natural rubber (RB) was used.
