Project description:Some microRNAs have antiproliferative effects in cells and are believed to act as tumour suppressors. We used a retroviral human microRNA expression library to identify six microRNAs, miR-181a, miR-323, miR-326, miR-342, miR345 and miR-371, that induce antiproliferative effects in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but do not in normal oral keratinocytes. By gene expression profilling we showed that the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene is a common target for three of these microRNAs. Transcriptional profilling of head and neck cancer cells comparing transiently transfected with either one of the six miRNAs to the cells transfected with a control vector. One-condition experiment, ctrl vs miRNA transfected, Biological replicates: 2 replicates for each miRNA transfected, 4 replicates for ctrl transfected

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. Two-condition experiment, KP MSCs vs. 3A6 MSCs.
Project description:miRNAs were enriched from HEK293T cells using the ambion FLASHPAGE fractionater after mock transfection, Ago2 transfection, and FLAG-Ago2 IP. miRNAs were labeled and hybridized: Ago2 transfected vs. mock transfection and Ago2 transfected vs. Ago2 IPs. Set of arrays that are part of repeated experiments Keywords: Biological Replicate
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of patient derived HNSCC (head and neck squamous cell carcinoma) cell line HNO223 comparing control cells transfected with shRNA against luciferase (shLuci) with cells transfected with two different shRNAs targeting SOX2. The goal was to determine the effects of SOX2 knockdown on global gene expression. Total RNA was extracted from stably transfected HNSCC cells with shLuci (control) and two different SOX2 shRNAs (shSOX2#1 and shSOX2#2), comparing the control with each of the two SOX2 shRNAs (replicate1: shLuci vs. shSOX2#1 and replicate2: shLuci vs. shSOX2#2). The biological replicates were from two independent transfection experiments (transfection 1 and transfection 2). Gene expression profiling was performed using the Human GE 4x44K v2 Microarray according to manufacturer`s instructions (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA).
