Project description:To study the effect of blockade of canonical aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway in human endothelial cells, we treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with a canonical AHR inhibitor, Stemreginin 1 (SR1) and performed bulk RNAseq analysis.
Project description:Adult endothelial cells (ECs) are known to possess organ-specific gene expression, morphology and function, but whether organ-specific EC gene expression is present during human development is not known. Here, we used bulk RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) to interrogate the developing human intestine, lung, and kidney in order to identify organ-enriched EC-gene signatures. FACS was used to isolate EC (CD31+CD144+, n=13) and non-EC (CD31-CD144-, n=16) populations from these three organs, profiling at least 4 biological replicates for each organ system. The biological specimens profiled were between 11-20 gestational weeks. We also sequenced cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) via bulk RNAseq. Computational approaches were used to identify organ-specific EC-enriched gene signatures across human fetal lung, intestine, and kidney ECs.
Project description:The scope of this study is to understand effect of microgravity on HUVECs (Human Umbilical vein Endothelial cells) and comparative analysis with respect to control group.
Project description:To have a global view of transcriptional change of hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) condition compared with normal condition, we collected human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from both conditions. The expression profiles of HUVECs were detected by microarray, and two conditions were compared to detect significantly changed lncRNAs and mRNAs.
Project description:HUVECs (human umbilical cord vein endothelial cells) are treated with the angiogenic factors VEGF-A (vascular endothelial growth factor-A) and PlGF (placental growth factor) in low or high serum media.
Project description:IL-6 family cytokines as OSM and CNTF modify angiogenesis to different degree. This study investigates to which extend treatment of endothelial cells with those cytokines can modify VEGF induced angiogenic reactions. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated for 24h by cytokines followed by RNA harvesting and processed for RNA sequencing.
Project description:Hyperphosphatemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality in chronic kidney disease. High inorganic phosphorus can induce endothelial cell apoptosis, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood. This study addresses this knowledge gap.Microarray analysis was used to identify differentially expressed gene profiles in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in high phosphate (3.0 mM) normal phosphate (1.0 mM) medium and low phosphate( 0.5mM).
