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.

Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic 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.
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:Activation of the p53 network plays a central role in the inflammatory stress response associated with ulcerative colitis, and may modulate cancer risk in patients afflicted with this chronic disease. The overall goal of these experiments is to study the gene expression profiles associated with four microenvironmental components of the inflammatory response (NO*, DNA damage, DNA replication arrest, and hypoxia) that result in p53 stabilization and activation. To this end, isogenic HCT116 and HCT116 TP53-/- colon cancer cells were exposed to the NO*-donor Sper/NO, H2O2 (DNA damage), hypoxia, or hydroxyurea (HU, DNA replication arrest), and their mRNA was analyzed using oligonucleotide microarrays. Keywords: time series design
Project description:To identify genes involved in survival to prolonged hypoxia we exposed HCT116 to hypoxia for 3 days. Control cells were exposed to normoxic conditions. HCT116 colon cancer cells were serum starved and exposed to hypoxia (1%O2) or normoxia (21%O2) for 3 days.
