Project description:To understand difference between SFZ cells and costal chondrocytes, total RNAs from SFZ cells and costal chondrocytes were analyzed by microarray.
Project description:Purpose: To demonstrate Runx3's association with organizing the extracellular matrix in SFZ/DZ chondrocytes. Method: RNA samples were collected from SFZ/DZ chondrocytes of 5-day-old Col2a1-Cre;Runx3fl/fl and Runx3fl/fl mice. Results: 18 genes were up- or down-regulated by more than 2-fold in the Runx3 knockout in SFZ. Conclusions: However, genes organizing the extracellular matrix were down-regulated in Runx3 cKO DZ chondrocytes.
Project description:Purpose: To demonstrate Runx3's association with organizing the extracellular matrix in SFZ chondrocytes. Method: Fragment DNA samples were collected by using Anti-FLAG or IgG, from SFZ chondrocytes treated with lipofection of RUNX3-FLAG Results: 21,730 raw peaks met the peak calling criterion. Conclusions: By GO analysis, the extracellular structure organization and collagen fibril organization terms were the most significantly enriched.
Project description:To identify downstream transcription factors induced by retinoic acid, we stimulated SFZ cells with 10 μM retinoic acid for 24 hours and performed microarray analysis.
Project description:We compared gene expression profiles of SFZ and deep AC of articular cartilage through laser microdissection (LMD) using adhesive tape, linear amplification of mRNA, and mRNA-seq analysis. gene expression profiles of SFZ and deep AC obtained from the proximal tibia of two adult rats
