Project description:To determine the molecular signaling pathways responsible for ETV4 regulation of cell growth, RNA sequencing was conducted on LPC-HRas cells with or without ETV4 knockdown
Project description:To investigate the gene expression changes due to LPC-induced calcific nodule formation in porcine aortic valve interstitial cells (paVICs). We then examined differential gene expression due to treatment with dantrolene, which inhibits calcific nodule formation, with and without LPC after 24 hours of exposure.
Project description:Rat OPCs were incubated in the presence of LPC 18:1 or LPC 18:0 and C13-His. Cultures controls included no treatment and a positive control for the differentiation of OPCs. LPC 18:1 was administered at 10 uM while C13-His was administered at 10 uM. Samples were process for mass spectrometry to identify the incorporation of C13-His in newly synthesized proteins.
Project description:Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC) were cultured in the presence of LPC 18:1-Cy5. Proteins interacting with LPC 18:1-Cy5 were UV crossed linked and cell lysates were separated via isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis. Band was cut out from gel and processed for mass spectrometry. OPC lysates were also incubated with LPC 18:1-micelles and allowed to interact with OPC proteins. Samples were separated using sucrose gradient (Liposome floatation assay), top fraction was collected and processed for mass spectrometry.
