Project description:To study the interaction effects between promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene knockdown and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) signaling in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), we transfected control or two independent PML siRNAs into HUVEC cells without or with 20 ng/mL TNFalpha treatment for 20 h. The total RNA was extracted for gene expression microarray analyses.
Project description:To study the interaction effects between promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene knockdown and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha) signaling in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), we transfected control or two independent PML siRNAs into HUVEC cells without or with 20 ng/mL TNFalpha treatment for 20 h. The total RNA was extracted for gene expression microarray analyses. The experiment is a 3x2 two-factor design. One factor is siRNA and it has three levels (siCtrl, siPML1, siPML2). siCtrl is RISC-inducing non-targeting control siRNA. siPML1 and siPML2 designate two independent siRNAs against the PML gene. Two independent siRNAs were used to eliminate the off-target effects of siRNA. The other factor is TNFalpha treatment (20 ng/mL for 20 h) and it has two levels: Untreated (U) or Treated (T). Each sample has technical duplicates.
Project description:To study the potential target genes regulated by PML in endothelial cells, we carried out siRNA-mediated knockdown of PML in HUVEC cells. To eliminate the off-target effects of siRNAs, we utilized two different siRNAs. Only the genes changed in the same pattern following both siRNAs transfection are considered as potential PML-knockdown responsive genes.

Only the genes changed in the same pattern following both siRNAs transfection are considered as potential PML-knockdown responsive genes. The experiment is one-factor (siRNA) with three ranks (siCtrl, siPML-1, siPML-2). We included technical duplicates for each sample. To minimize systemic errors assoicated with technique, we distributed the duplicates on two different microarray chips.
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: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.
