Project description:We synthesized HGF mimic Met-agonist, which is a kind of Met high-affinity dimeric peptide that can activate the Met through dimerization of Met, and induce cell growth, migration, and branching morphogenesis in a similar manner to HGF. Here we detected the gene expression profile induced by HGF and artificial Met-agonist (aMD5-PEG11 and aMD5-BMH). HGF and aMD5-PEG11 show similar induction of gene expression pattern, including multicellular organismal development, multicellular organismal process and anatomical structure development.
Project description:Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2) from Escherichia coli is thought to be a main factor to casue renal dysfunction in Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) infection. The renal dysfunction caused by the proximal tubular defects can be detected in the earlier EHEC infection. However, the precise information of gene expression from proximal tubular epithelial cells has yet to be clarified. We performed microarray experiments using Stx2-injected mouse kidney and Stx2-treated human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (RPTEC), and extracted common genes that were differentially expressed.
Project description:We report the high-throughput profiling of HGF treated liver cancer cell (HepG2) for differentiated genes analysis. We generated HGF stimulated and paired control HepG2 cells for 4 days. We find that tumor suppressor genes that are overexpressed and some tumor associated genes were downregulated, therefore reflect cell state and HGF induced anti-tumor potential. This study provides a potential framework for the research of HGF induced critical genes in the application of liver cancer therapy.
Project description:Transcription profile of HepG2 cells treated with hepatocyte growth factor and control cells Two condition experiment, Hep G2 vs. Hep G2-HGF. Biological replicates: 1 control and 1 HGF-treated (no replication)
Project description:Confluent cultures of a human renal fibroblast cell line (TK-173) and a human renal proximal tubule epithelial cell line (RPTEC/TERT1) were treated with 10 micromolar tacrolimus (FK-506) for one and three days.
Project description:Incomplete heat-damaged MHCC97H ususlly recurred. The mechanism of how residual HCC cells survive sublethal heat stress and develop rapid outgrowth remains poorly understood. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression and identified distinct classes of up-regulated and downregulated genes under the treatment of HGF at different dosages.
Project description:The goal of this study is to compare miRNAs expressed by HGF treated SWAN-71 cells to miRNAs expressed in untreated control SWAN-71 cells to identify micro RNAs which play a role during HGF-mediated SWAN-71 cell invasion
