Project description:Murine osteoblast-like cell line MC3T3-E1 subclone 4 (ATCC CRL-2593) (ATTCC, Manassas, USA) were stably transfected using 4D-Nucleofector System (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) to generate cells that overexpress Hnf4α1, Hnf4α2 or an empty vector (Ctr). ChIPseq analyzes were used to highlight the importance of HNF4a1 and HNF4a2 in osteoblastogenesis.

Project description:We describe here a novel role for CHD1 in regulating the osteoblast cell fate by studying the effect of CHD1 depletion on the epigenetic landscape and on mRNA expression in mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) (Simonsen et al. 2012) and fetal Osteoblast (hFOB 1.19) (Harris et al. 1995) during osteoblast differentiation.
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:We performed a transcription factor (TF) ChIP-seq in human embryonal palatal mesenchyme (HEPM; HEPM ATCC ® CRL-1486™) cells with a polyclonal anitbody against TFAP2A ((ab52222, abcam®, Great Britain) in two replicates.
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.
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.
