Project description:TGFbeta/TNFalpha treated spheroid A549 cultures are a model of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). These experiments capture the changes in global gene expression that result from cells being induced to undergo EMT (3D control vs 3D treated), but also the differences in gene expression when A549 is grown in spheroid cultures (2D control vs 3D untreated). EMT is efficiently induced only in the spheroid culture model.

EMT is efficiently induced only in the spheroid culture model. A total of 8 samples are analyzed, corresponding to 4 conditions (2D control, 2D treated, 3D control, 3D treated) and 2 biological replicates.
Project description:We studied the extent of chromatin remodeling in an in-vitro model of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is induced in spheroid cultures (3D) using simultaneously two cytokines: TGFbeta and TNFalpha.
Project description:Human Fetal pulmonary Fibroblasts (CCL153) were treated by PMA, IL1, TGFbeta and TNFalpha for 24 hours and compared for microRNA expression with control cells.
