Project description:The purpose of this study was to study the biological consequences of inhibiting acid beta-galactosidase with the use of conduritol b epoxide, which serves as a chemical model of Gaucher disease
Project description:Based on next generation RNA-seq, we examed Arsenic trioxide treatment (ATO) effect on MSCs-interacting MCF7 cells in 3D cultures. We found gap junction protein Cx43 is dramatically downregulated after ATO treatment..
Project description:Investigation of proteomic changes in HEK 293T cells after 8h of actinomycin D treatment with special focus on RNA modifying enzymes.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Human Embryonic Kidney(293T) Cells comparing control untreated 293T cells with 293T cells transfected with A) pcDNA 3.0(-) vector[Invitrogen] (Mock) and B) Expression vector pcDNA 3.0(-) containing cloned Influenza virus H5N1and H11N1-NS1 (Non-Structural1) gene.
Project description:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in almost all tissues and participate in tissue regeneration and homeostasis. MSCs based therapy is applied to some refractory immune diseases to control inflammation, such as lupus nephritis, Crohn’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis. However, accumulating studies showed that the immunomodulatory capacity of naïve MSCs is mild and limited. To enhance MSCs immunomodulatory function, researchers innovated a new method to reprogram MSCs via pre-treatment with inflammatory cytokines. In this work, we firstly used a cocktail of three cytokines, IL-1β, TNF-a and IFN-γ, to treat hUC-MSCs (human MSCs from umbilical cord). We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of 3 untreated hUC-MSCs (ctrl) and 3 cytokines-treated hUC-MSCs (primed).
Project description:Methylome data obtained from human embryonic kindey (HEK)-293T cells expressing a GFP (293T-GFP) or a truncated form of Arabidopsis DEMETER (DME) 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA glycosylase (293T-DMEΔ) analyzed on a Human Methylation 450K BeadChip platform (Illumina). These methylation array data revealed genome-wide DNA methylation patterns of the 293T-GFP cells (without direct 5mC excision activity) and 293T-DMEΔ cells (with artificially implemented direct 5mC excision activity).
Project description:Total RNA from untreated 293T cells (2 samples) and 293T cells treated with 2µM camptothecin for 48h (2 samples) was isolated using RNeasy Midi Kit (QIAGEN, Valencia) followed by gene expression profiling on Affymetrix human U133A arrays and analysis by MAS 5.1. Keywords = 293T cells Keywords = camptothecin Keywords: parallel sample
Project description:We used microarrays to determine which genes are upregulated by IFNbeta stimulation in 293T cells. We treated 293T cells with recombinant IFNbeta for 12 hrs or left the cells unstimulated. We then lysed the cells and hybridized the RNA to Affymetrix microarrays.
