Project description:Carcinoma VCaP tumors that evolve in denervated rat prostate glands exhibited a significantly altered gene expression profile and phenotype as compared with VCaP tumors that evolve in the normal, innervated rat prostate gland. Interestingly, unilateral denervation resulted in a reduction in tumor size relative to control and the reduction was more pronounced with botox (chemical denervation) as compared with MPG excision (physical denervation). Chemical and Physical denervation yield similar gene expression profiles.
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.
