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:To study the role of Histone H4 lysine 20 mono- and tri-methylation (H4K20me1, H4K20me3) in relationship to chromatin accessibility and gene expression, we report the application of high-throughput profiling of these marks in Human Osteosarcoma U2OS and Mouse Fibroblast (MEF) cells with Set8 knockdown or control siRNA treatment. We find that H4K20me1 contributes to the open chromatin structure at active genes.

Project description:To study the role of Histone H4 lysine 20 mono- and tri-methylation (H4K20me1, H4K20me3) in relationship to chromatin accessibility and gene expression, we report the application of high-throughput profiling of these marks in synchronized and asynchronous Human Osteosarcoma U2OS and asynchronous Mouse Fibroblast (MEF) cells with Set8 knockdown or control siRNA treatment. We find that H4K20me1 contributes to the open chromatin structure at active genes.

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.
Project description:Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis play a significant role in various biological processes including transcription, DNA repair and cell cycle progression. The identification of Set8 and Set8b (a splice isoform) histone H4K20 methyl transferase as a substrate for the cullin-based ubiquitin ligase (CRL4-Cdt2) demonstrate that this pathway plays a significant role in promoting cell cycle progression, specifically promoting G2 progression. This study investigate the effect of failure to degrade Set8 in S-phase of the cell cycle via CRL4-Cdt2 on gene expression. We used microarrays to detail the effect of the expression of stable form of Set8b H4K20 mono-methyl transferase (Set8b_deltaPIP2) on gene expression Human osteosarcoma-derived human cells were transduced with retroviruses encoding either wt-Set8b or a mutant of Setb8 which is resistant to degradation via CRL4-Cdt2 ubiquitin ligase complex (Set8b_deltaPIP2) or with an a control pMSCV empty virus. 5 days after transduction, cells were harvested and the RNA was extracted by Trizol (Invitrogen) and hybridized to the affymetrix chips array.
