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:We profiled genome-wide gene expression of human prostate benign and malignant tissue to identify potential biomarkers and immunotherapy targets. We stratified malignant specimens according to their TMPRSS2:ERG gene fusion status.
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:Androgens are a prequisite for the development of human prostate and prostate cancer. Androgen action is mediated via androgen receptor. Androgen ablation therapy is used for the treatment of metastasized prostate cancer. The aim of the study was to identify genes differentially expressed in benign human prostate, prostate cancer and in prostate tissue three days after castration. These genes are potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. We used microarrays to examine the gene expression profiles in benign prostate adjacent to prostate cancer and prostate cancer in radical prostatectomy specimens and in prostate tissue samples taken 3 days after surgical castration performed for treatment of prostate cancer. Human prostate tissue was obtained from radical prostatectomy samples and from prostate biopsy samples (castrated samples). Benign and malignant tissues samples were microdissected from prostatectomy samples. Tissues were used for RNA isolation and were further processed as samples for microarray. Three prostatectomy samples were used as replicates (benign and malignant prostate). All prostate cancers were Gleason 3+3 pattern. Castrated tissue samples were taken from patients three days after surgical castration for the treatment of advanced or metastasized prostate cancer. Six biopsies were taken from each subject and individual subject samples were used as three replicates in microarray.
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. One-condition experment, gene expression of 3A6
Project description:Mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis of urinary EV (uEV) in men with benign and malignant prostate disease, profiling the proteome of EV separated from prostate tumor interstitial fluid and matched uEV, and a comparative proteomic analysis with uEV from patients with bladder and renal cancer.
Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.
