Project description:To understand the consequences of CLN3 loss, we performed RNAseq in HEK cells with CRISPR-Cas9-mediated KO of CLN3 (CLN3-KO) or parental HEK WT cells.
Project description:In order to understand the transcriptional effects of CD44s expression in a cell line that does not express CD44 in its native form we transfected CD44s into HEK cells and measured the transcriptional chances compared to native HEK cells
Project description:In order to understand the transcriptional effects of CD44s expression in a cell line that does not express CD44 in its native form we transfected CD44s into HEK cells and measured the transcriptional chances compared to native HEK cells Three biological replicates from each condition (native HEK cells and CD44s transfected cells) were measured using Affymetrix arrays
Project description:Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) allows progressive loss of epithelial traits and acquisition of mesenchymal identity promoting cell migratory and invasive properties. It is expressed by changes in gene expression program induced by changes of chromatin state and organization. To identify epigenetic landscape associated with EMT we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) experiments allowing nucleosome profiling (H3), distribution of histone modifications linked to actively transcribed (H3K4me3, H3K36me3 and H3K27ac) and repressed (H3K27me3) regions in epithelial (Epi) and mesenchymal (Mes) cells. These cell lines were generated by immortalization of primary HEK cells before and after naturally occured EMT.
Project description:HEK 293 cells were treated with 7.5 μM methylmercury (HgMe) for 48 h. Metabolites were extracted and subjected to LC-HRMS based metabolomics. LC-HRMS data were processed by SIEVE2.2 software. Metabolites associated with HgMe toxicity were screened and identified.
