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.
Project description:Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US and worldwide. Understanding the global molecular profiles or transcriptome of lung cancers would strengthen our understanding of the biology of this malignancy. We performed gene expression profiling using the Human Gene 1.0 ST platform of 80 lung adenocarcinomas and 30 normal lung tissues to better understand the biology of this significant fraction of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLCs) Lung adenocarcinomas were comrpised of never-smoker (n=40) and smoker (n=40) adenocarcinomas. Normal lung tissue (n=30) were paired to 30 of the never-smoker cases. Gene expression profiling was performed on the samples to identify differentially expressed profiles between lung adenocarcinomas and normal lung tissues.
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:RATIONALE: Studying the genes expressed in samples of tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This laboratory study is using gene expression profiling to evaluate normal tissue and tumor tissue from patients with colon cancer that has spread to the liver, lungs, or peritoneum.
