Project description:We performed a pharmacotranscriptomic analysis of a human neuroblastoma cell line (SK-N-SH) exposed to risperidone to identify molecular mechanisms involved in the cellular response to risperidone and thus identify candidate genes for pharmacogenetic studies. This study is a part of a convergent functional genomic approach that plans to integrate the data presented here with: data from gene expression analysis of experimental animal brain under treatment with risperidone; and data from gene expression analysis of peripheral blood from first psychotic patients treated with risperidone. Gene expression was assessed by microarray (Human Genome U219 Array) in cells treated with risperidone 10 µM at 6, 24 and 48 h

Project description:Analysis of varied biologic pathways in neuroblastoma SK-N-SH cells grown in doxorubicin and/or SAHA. The hypothesis was that SK-N-SH cells undergo a mesenchymal change through mesenchymal change resulting in a more invasive as well as drug resistant phenotype, and that the mechanism of SAHAs effect on drug resistance may be revealed through this analysis. Total RNA was isolated from wild type, SAHA treated wild type cells, doxorubicin resistant, and SAHA treated doxorubicin resistant SK-N-SH cell lines in triplicate.
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.
