Project description:Two human stromal cell lines, HS-5 and HS-27a, represent functionally distinct components of the bone marrow microenvironment. A third influential component of the microenvironment is resident monocytes and macrophages. The baseline expression profile of normal peripheral blood monocytes was determined and their effect on the gene expression of the stromal cells was investigated in a co-culture sytem. Control RNA for all samples was Stratagene Universal human reference RNA. Keywords: Cell Line Comparison and Culture Comparison
Project description:The hematopoietic microenvironment consists of non-hematopoietic derived stromal elements and hematopoietic derived monocytes and macrophages which interact and function together to control the proliferation and differentiation of early blood-forming cells. Two human stromal cell lines (HS-5 and HS-27a) representing distinct functional components of this microenvironment have been extensively characterized and shown to influence monocyte gene expression. This series of gene expression profiles is intended to extend the previous studies and identify which gene expression changes may require cell-cell contact or occur in the stromal cells as a result of monocyte influence;or in the monocytes as a result of stormal influences. Experiment Overall Design: Two human bone marrow stromal cell lines (HS5 and HS27a) were cultured with and without monocytes (CD14+ cells) from 2 different donors. Experiment Overall Design: culture condition: stroma no monocytes: HS5-1, HS5-2, HS27a-1, HS27a-2 Experiment Overall Design: culture condition: stroma with monocytes: HS5-MO-1, HS5-MO-2, HS27a-MO-1, HS27a-MO-2 Experiment Overall Design: donor: donor 3: HS5-MO-1, HS27a-MO-1 Experiment Overall Design: donor: donor 4: HS5-MO-2, HS27a-MO-2 Experiment Overall Design: cell line: HS5: HS5-1, HS5-2, HS5-MO-1, HS5-MO-2 Experiment Overall Design: cell line: HS27a: HS27a-1, HS27a-2, HS27a-MO-1, HS27a-MO-2
Project description:In multiple myeloma, the objective is to assess the impact of syntenin knockout on the secretory profile of bone marrow stromal cells using the HS-5 model.
