ABSTRACT: Comparison of the activated lymphocyte into which shPTPN3 was introduced and the activated lymphocyte into which a control vector was introduced
Project description:Immunotherapy using activated lymphocytes has recently been developed, but there is not yet the biomarker which can predict curative effect. In our recent study, we found that random migration is significantly increased in activated lymphocyte. Furthermore, it is suggested that random migration may affect cytotoxicity. Therefore we considered that migration of lymphocyte may become the effect prediction biomarker of Immunotherapy. And then we analyzed the gene which fluctuated by lymphocyte activation to search the molecules which regulate migration of lymphocyte.As the result, we found out that expression of PTPN3 fluctuates before and after activation of the lymphocyte.Next, we compared the gene expression of the activated lymphocyte into which shPTPN3 was introduced and of the activated lymphocyte into which a control vector was introduced to search the action mechanism of PTPN3.
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:Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by airway inflammation and remodeling. The role of 15-oxo-5Z,8Z,11Z,13E-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxoETE), a 15-HETE metabolite catalyzed by 15-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH), has been relatively unexplored in asthma. In this study, we used RNA-seq to explore the effect of 15-KETE on the transcriptome of airway epithelial cells, aiming to identify its potential downstream targets and mechanisms of action.
