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:In this work, we compared gene expression profile (GEP) of K562 cells transduced with the retroviral vector LCALRins5IDN or LCALRdel52IDN with K562 cells transduced with LwtCALRIDN In order to unravel MPL-independent mechanisms underlying the effect of CALR mutations on MPN pathogenesis, we analysed the transcriptional changes induced by the CALRins5 or CALRdel52 overexpression in K562 cells, which lack MPL expression
Project description:In this work, we compared gene expression profile (GEP) of CD34+ cells transduced with the retroviral vector LCALRIDN with CD34+ cells transduced with the empty vector control LXIDN and of CD34+ cells treated with CALR siRNA with control cells transfected with a Non-Targeting siRNA In order to explore the role of CALR in the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HPSCs), we studied the effects of CALR overexpression in Cord Blood (CB) CD34+ cells. Assessment of cell differentiation unveiled that CALR enforced expression is able to skew the haematopoietic commitment towards the MK and erythroid cell lineages. Conversely, CALR silencing induced a marked repression of MK and erythroid differentiation. In order to characterize the effects of CALR mutations on human hematopoietic cells at the molecular level, we analyzed the coding RNA profiles of CB CD34+ overexpressing CALR. This analysis identified a list of differentially expressed genes. Among upregulated genes, we found genes involved in platelet aggregation, inflammation and erythroid differentiation, potentially related to the characteristics of the disease.
