Project description:The pathogenesis of necrosis of femoral head (NFH) remains elusive now. Limited studies were conducted to investigate the molecular mechanism of hip articular cartilage damage of NFH. We conducted a genome-wide gene expression profiling of hip articular cartilage with NFH.
Project description:The pathogenesis of necrosis of femoral head (NFH) remains elusive now. Limited studies were conducted to investigate the molecular mechanism of hip articular cartilage damage of NFH. We conducted a genome-wide gene expression profiling of hip articular cartilage with NFH. Hip articular cartilage specimens were collected from 12 NFH patients and 12 healthy controls. Gene expression profiling of NFH articular cartilage was carried out by Agilent Human 4x44K Gene Expression Microarray chip. Differently expressed genes were identified using the Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software.
Project description:The cartilage degeneration that accompanies subchondral bone necrosis plays an important role in the development of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). To better understand the molecular basis of cartilage degradation in ONFH, we compared the proteomics profile of ONFH cartilage with that of normal controls
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:Wistar Kyoto Rats were administered glucocorticoid pellets and placebo pellets for 6 months. After 6 months rats were sacrificed and their femoral heads were histologically examined for the detection of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Total RNA was extracted from femoral heads and submitted to gene chip microarray for differential gene expression analysis..
Project description:In this series we have analyzed the effect of donor age on the gene expression profile of mesenchymal stromal cells (alternatively named mesenchymal stem cells; MSC) from human bone marrow. Cells were taken from bone marrow aspirates from iliac crest (BM) of healthy donors or from the caput femoris (HIP) of elderly patients that received femoral head prosthesis.
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:These libraries represent instances of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma tumors taken from different transplantation experiments. This series also contains one non-cancerous cartilage library made from rat normal growing femoral head cartilage as a comparative data point. Keywords: other
