Project description:We treated Jurkat cells for 48 hr with a sublethal dose of FK866 (5 nM) and DMSO (Mock, control treatment). RNA samples for microarrays derived from fractionated samples by sucrose gradient (sub-polysomes, polysomes), giving us the chance to perform an analysis among polysomal/subpolysomal distribution in treated or untreated cells and the possibility to identify the multi-level gene expression regulation effects of FK866. We are interested to find differentially expressed genes, in the early phase of cell response to FK866, and genes that account for a specific post-transcriptional regulation exerted by the cell in response to the drug. Keywords: polysomal profiling, translatome profiling, polysomal RNA, subpolysomal RNA, translational profiling, polysome profiling, post-transcriptional regulation, FK866, translational efficiency. Gene expression signals derived from the polysomal and subpolysomal RNA populations were compared by microarrays analysis to those obtained from total RNAs (derived from the sum of all the fractions in the polysomal gradient). Polysomal RNA, subpolysomal RNA and total RNA were isolated from Jurkat cells treated with FK866 5 nM or DMSO (mock, control treatment) for 48 hr. Cells lysates were collected from control cells (mock) and from treated cells (FK866). All experiments were run in biological quadruplicates.

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: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.
