Project description:Analysis of gene expression in 17 low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) samples compared to that of histologically similar tumors. LGFMS is characterized by the specific translocations t(7;16)(q33;p11) or t(11;16)(p11;p11) and corresponding fusion genes FUS-CREB3L2 or FUS-CREB3L1. The results identifies a LGFMS-specific gene expression profile and provide insight into FUS-CREB3L2 regulated gene expression. RNA was extracted from 17 LGFMS tumor biopsies and hybridized to Affymetrix arrays. RNA from 6 myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), 6 desmoid fibromatosis (DFM), 5 solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) and 6 extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMCS) tumor biopsies was used as comparison. Two pools of skeletal muscle RNA was also included in the comparison.
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.
