Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in 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:linc00598 is a nuclear localized long noncoding RNA which transcribed in downstream of FoxO1. Previous studies showed that several nuclear retained lncRNAs function as transcriptional regulators. To find out the function of linc00598 as a transcriptional regulator, we performed microarray analysis using linc00598 knock down stable HEK293t cells. The results showed that positive cell cycle regulation related genes including cyclin D2 were regulated transcriptionally by linc00598. It was also observed that knock down of linc00598 induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and inhibit proliferation. Therefore linc00598 represents a novel cell cycle regulatory lncRNA and may be involved in promoting transformation of human cells.
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.
