Project description:To analyze the impact of Aire on gene expression profile in a model cell line, we used 293T cells and transfected them either with an Aire expression plasmid pCMV-Aire (where mAire is driven by CMV promoter) or with a control plasmid pCMV2B. Total RNA was extracted 48 hours post transfection, processed and used for gene expression profiling by Affymetrix. The data demonstrate that Aire has a very broad impact, effecting (upregulating and downregulating) hundreds of differents genes, however these genes differ dramatically from its targets in medullary epithelial cells. Keywords: transfection

Keywords: transfection 293T cells were seeded on 10cm plates and were grown in DMEM containing 10% FBS under standard TC conditions. Next day, the cells were transfected either by pCMV-Aire (6ug/plate) or empty pCMV (6ug/plate) using Mirus reagent, according to manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was extracted 48 hrs post transfection by Trizol protocol according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3 biological replicates were used for Aire transfection and 2 replicates for transfection with a control plasmid.
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:HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing Vector only(PCMV), Aire, or MBD-VP16 with the goal of comparing the global gene expression profiles in the Aire and MBD-VP16 groups We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile. HEK 293 cells were transiently transfected with plasmids expressing Vector only(PCMV), Aire, or MBD-VP16 and 72 hrs post transfection total RNA was collected for microarray analysis.
