Project description:Cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) is involved in cell adhesion, cell differentiation, regulates the mineralization processes during cementogenesis, and selects progenitor cells from periodontal ligament. To determine the gene expression profiling induced by CEMP1 overexpression by non-osteogenic cells such as human gingival fibroblasts we performed microarrays (Human Gene 1.0 ST, Affymetrix) to identify differentially expressed transcripts (ED) between human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) and those that overexpress CEMP1 (HGF/CEMP1).

HGF cells overexpressing CEMP1 and controls were harvested at 3, 7 and 14 days after transfection of CEMP1, three biological replicates were analyzed for each time point and condition for a total of 18 microarrays.
Project description:To understand the role of areca nut and TGF-β induced gene expression changes in fibroblasts and its contibution in the manifestation of Oral submucous fibrosis, we studied gene expression profile in primary human gingival fibroblast (hGF) cells following treatment with areca nut, TGF-β and both together.
Project description:This study sought to provide a novel ex vivo model for analyzing healing kinetics and gene expression of primary human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) within collagen scaffolds. Sponge type and gel type scaffolds with and without platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF) were assessed in an hGF containing matrix.
Project description:This study sought to provide a novel ex vivo model for analyzing healing kinetics and gene expression of primary human gingival fibroblasts (hGF) within collagen scaffolds. Sponge type and gel type scaffolds with and without platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF) were assessed in an hGF containing matrix. Four samples were analyzed; gel w/ and w/o PDGF and scaffold w/ and w/o PDGF

Control Vs Areca nut 5 µg/ml water extract (5H) (2), Contro Vs TGF-β (2), Control Vs Areca nut (5 µg/ml) and TGF-β (5 ng/ml) (5H+T) (2). (2)- Biological duplicates.
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 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. One-condition experment, gene expression of 3A6
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.
