Project description:The goal of this study is to identify ERalpha-target genes affected by overexpression of the histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 in breast cancer cells. The roles of CARM1 in ERalpha+ breast cancer was not well characterized. Therefore, we created a Dox inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cell line where CARM1 is overexpressed by 2 fold to determine the created a Dox-inducible CARM1 overexpressing MCF7 cells for evaluation of the global effects of CARM1 on Eralpha-target gene expression.

MCF7-tet-on-CARM1 clone 13 were treated under 4 conditions: DMSO; Dox; E2 (10nM); Dox+E2. In Dox+E2 condition, cells were pre-treated with Dox for 5 days before treating with E2 for 4 hours. 3 biological replicates were included and total of 12 samples were analyzed.
Project description:The goal of this study is to identify ERalpha-target genes affected by knocking down of the histone arginine methyltransferase CARM1 in MCF7 breast cancer cells. The roles of CARM1 in ERalpha+ breast cancer was not well characterized. Therefore, we created a Dox inducible CARM1 knockingdown MCF7 cell line where CARM1 is decreased to 20% of endogeneous level to determine the created a Dox-inducible CARM1shRNA overexpressing MCF7 cells for evaluation of the global effects of CARM1 on ERalpha-target gene expression.
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.
