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:The hypothesis that male michrochimerism in eutopic endometrium is a factor for endometriosis, as indicated by indirect evidence was examined in endometrial samples from control (Group 1) and stage IV ovarian endometriosis (Group 2), either fertile (Group 1A and 2A) or Infertile (Group 1B and 2B) pateints. 6 coding and 10 non-coding genes showed bi-modal pattern of expression characterised by low expression in samples obtained from fertile patients and high expressions in infertile patients. Several coding and non-coding MSY-linked genes displayed michrochimerism in form of presence of their respective DNA inserts along with their microarray-detectable expression in endometrium irrespective of fertility history and disease.
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.
