Project description:Wnt regulates various cell responses. In dental pulp cells, Wnt signaling control cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and differentiation. Here, the differential gene expression of human dental pulp stem cells treated with Wnt ligands or Wnt agonist was examined using a high throughput RNA sequencing technique. Results demonstrated that Wnt ligands or Wnt agonist altered numerous gene expression in human dental pulp stem cells.
Project description:Inoculating human dental pulp stem cells on soft and sitff substrates to investigate the effect of substrate hardness on gene expression of dental pulp stem 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. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic MSCs.
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. Two-condition experiment, KP MSCs vs. 3A6 MSCs.
