Project description:Normal primary thyroid cells were incubated with , 100 IU/ml IFN-gamma, 50 IU/ml IL1-beta, or a combination of both IFN-gamma and IL1-beta for 24 or 72 hours. The experiment was repeated 5 times using thyroid cells from 5 different patients. RNA expression was analyzed using Affymetrix HG_U133A arrays for 3 of the thyroids, and HG_U133A_2.0 (small version of HG_U133A) arrays for 2 of the thyroids. Experiment Overall Design: Normal primary thyroid cells were incubated with , 100 IU/ml IFN-gamma, 50 IU/ml IL1-beta, or a combination of both IFN-gamma and IL1-beta for 24 or 72 hours. The experiment was repeated 5 times using thyroid cells from 5 different patients. One array was hybridized per sample (20 samples). Experiment Overall Design: The probe-set intensities with accompanying statistical analysis (2-way ANOVA) and the associated README file are included as Supplementary files.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease resulting from the selective destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells. Beta cell culture for 6-9 days in the presence of IL-1 beta and interferon (INF) gamma leads to apoptosis. Primary rat beta-cells were FACS purified and exposed for 6 or 24 h to control condition, IL-1 beta + INF gamma, or IL-1 beta alone (24 h only). The gene expression profile was analyzed by hybridization in duplicate to the Affymetrix RG U34A microarray.
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: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.
Project description:Transcriptional activation of cultured mouse astrocytes in response to stimulation with CCM (complete cytokine mix: TNF-alpha, IL1-beta and IFN-gamma) at 4hr and 16hr time points.
