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:<p>SNP Health Association Resource (SHARe) Asthma Resource project (SHARP) is conducting a genome-wide analysis in adults and children
who have participated in National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's clinical research trials on asthma. This includes 1041 children
with asthma who participated in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP), 994 children who participated in one or five clinical
trials conducted by the Childhood Asthma Research and Education (CARE) network, and 701 adults who participated in one of six clinical
trials conducted by the Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN).</p>
<p>There are three study types. The longitudinal clinical trials can be subsetted for population-based and/or case-control analyses.
Each of the childhood asthma studies has a majority of children participating as part of a parent-child trio. The ACRN (adult)
studies are probands alone. Control genotypes will be provided for case-control analyses.</p>

Project description:By combining extensive biochemical fractionation with quantitative mass spectrometry, we directly examined the composition of soluble multiprotein complexes among diverse animal models. The project has been jointly supervised by Andrew Emili and Edward M. Marcotte. Project website: http://metazoa.med.utoronto.ca
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.
