Project description:Adult human dermal fibroblasts reside in vivo under low oxygen tension. Thus, low oxygen culture conditions represent a physiological state for adult human dermal fibroblasts. We have also previously shown that low oxygen and addition of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) lead to prolonged life-span of adult human dermal fibroblasts. Therefore, we set to determine effects of low oxygen and FGF2 on the gene expression signature of adult human dermal fibroblasts. This global analysis will allow identification of genes affected and pathways regulated by low oxygen and FGF2.
Project description:The current study was to determine the effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2) on the transcriptome of adult human dermal fibroblasts. Transcriptional profiles of adult human dermal fibroblasts grown in culture medium (with FGF2 or not) were compared. Comparison of the transcriptomes will allow to identify significantly differentially expressed genes exposure to FGF2, which in turn will allow for identification of the pathways affected by these factors in the human adult fibroblasts. Methods: Human dermal fibroblasts were FGF2 (10ng/ML) treatment for 48h hours. Then, the RNA was extracted for library construction Results: FGF2-responsive genes were significantly involved in ECM-receptor interaction, PI3K-Akt signaling and Hippo pathway.
Project description:The current study set to determine the effects of Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 and cell culture surface (tissue culture plastic and glass) on the transcriptome of adult human dermal fibroblasts. Transcriptional profiles of adult human dermal fibroblasts grown in four experimental conditions (glass, glass and addition of FGF2, plastic, plastic and addition of FGF2) were compared. Comparison of the transcriptomes will allow to identify significantly differentially expressed genes due to FGF2 and surface treatment, which in turn will allow for identification of the pathways affected by these factors in the human adult fibroblasts. Transcriptome analysis of adult human dermal fibroblasts grown on tissue culture plastic and glass, with and without 4ng/ml FGF2, was performed in two biological replicates and two technical replicates for each treatment condition.

Project description:We compared proteomic analysis of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted from human dermal fibroblasts, either control or stimulated by FGF2 and after immunoprecipitation with FGF2-coated beads to isolated FGF2-positive EVs.
Project description:Analysis of ex vivo isolated lymphatic endothelial cells from the dermis of patients to define type 2 diabetes-induced changes. Results preveal aberrant dermal lymphangiogenesis and provide insight into its role in the pathogenesis of persistent skin inflammation in type 2 diabetes. The ex vivo dLEC transcriptome reveals a dramatic influence of the T2D environment on multiple molecular and cellular processes, mirroring the phenotypic changes seen in T2D affected skin. The positively and negatively correlated dLEC transcripts directly cohere to prolonged inflammatory periods and reduced infectious resistance of patients´ skin. Further, lymphatic vessels might be involved in tissue remodeling processes during T2D induced skin alterations associated with impaired wound healing and altered dermal architecture. Hence, dermal lymphatic vessels might be directly associated with T2D disease promotion. Global gene expression profile of normal dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (ndLECs) compared to dermal lymphatic endothelial cells derived from type 2 diabetic patients (dLECs).Quadruplicate biological samples were analyzed from human lymphatic endothelial cells (4 x diabetic; 4 x non-diabetic). subsets: 1 disease state set (dLECs), 1 control set (ndLECs)
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.
