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.
Project description:Tributyltin (TBT) accumulates at higher levels in the liver than in any other organ, and it acts as a hepatotoxic agent. Most of the available studies on TBT have focused on observations at the cellular level, and studies at the level of genes and proteins have been limited; therefore, the information concerning possible mechanisms of TBT-induced adverse health effects remains scarce and inconclusive. In the present study, we applied a toxicogenomic approach to investigate the effects of TBT on gene expression in the human normal liver cell line HL7702.
