Project description:Transcriptional profiling of pancreatic tumors comparing to adjacent non-tumoral pancreatic tissue by two strategies. The first strategy implies a traditional microarray assay, while the second involves a previous Suppression Subtractive Hybridization (SSH) and then the traditional microarray assay. Goal was to determine differences in gene expression profile in tumor samples by both strategies. Two-condition experiment, tumoral vs. non-tumoral tissues. Biological replicates: 6 tumoral replicates, 6 non-tumoral replicates. The same replicates for both strategies.
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. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic MSCs.
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.
