Project description:Glioma cells are sensitized to the alkylator temozolomide after exposure to IFN-beta. In glioma-initiating cells (GIC), IFN-beta alone reduces clonogenicity. We investigated differentially expressed genes with or without IFN exposure in either longterm glioma cells or GIC. We used microarrays to investigate differential gene regulation in glioma cells after exposure to either ddH20 or IFN-beta 300 IU/ml at 6 h or 24 h. We used either the longterm cell line LNT-229 or the GIC cell lines GS-2 and GS-9 and exposed them to either IFN-beta 300 IU/ml or ddH20 for 6 h or 24 h.
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: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.
