Project description:Effects of TRPC1 silencing on whole-transcriptome gene expression were determined in human primary aortic vascular smooth muscle cells using whole-transcriptome gene expression profiling.
Project description:Smooth muscle cell TGFβ signaling is one of the primary drivers of smooth muscle cell maturation. Inhibition of smooth muscle cell TGFβ signaling in hyperlipidemic mice induces vessel wall inflammation and vessel wall dilation/dissection and leads aortic aneurysm. We performed bulk RNAseq method to examine smooth muscle cell gene expression profile using fresh human tissues from normal aortic media smooth muscle cells and aneurysm aortic media smooth muscle cells.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression in primary cultured human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) and primary cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) with or without H2O2 or Collagen tripeptide (CTP)
Project description:The deubiquitinase USP17 was previously shown to regulate KLF4 expression in hepatocellular carcinomas. The KLF4 transcription factor is a major regulator of the phenotypic response of vascular smooth muscle cells, enabling their polarization toward a synthetic phenotype observed in several aortic remodeling diseases, including aneurysms and atherosclerosis. The aim here was therefore to reduce USP17 expression in primary-cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells and to verify their fate (contractile or synthetic phenotype) through proteomic analysis.
Project description:Human primary aortic smooth muscle cells were infected with wild type (W50, 381), W50 derived gingipain mutants (E8 and K1A), or 381 derived fimbriae mutants (DPG3 and KRX178) strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis for 24 hours. The RNA was extracted from the cells and human whole genome microarray were used to measure gene expression.
Project description:We report the transcriptome within human aortic smooth muscle cell and rat aortic smooth muscle cell. Some of the cells were treated with cholesterol.
