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: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:CRISPR screen: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells expressing Cas9 were transduced with a whole-genome library of CRISPR sgRNAs, then treated with either DMSO or etoposide. Differential sgRNA abundances were calculated for each condition and used to determine the effect of each single gene knockout on fitness and the drug-induced death rate. RNA-Seq: U2OS or U2OS p53KO cells were cultured with either DMSO or etoposide for 48 hours, and then U2OS cells were incubated in this conditioned media for 8 hours. RNA was collected and use to observe differential expression changes between conditions.
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.
