Project description:Expression profiling of pulmonayr fibrosis prone and fibrosis resistant strains of mice with transgenic overexpression of TGF-beta1
Project description:Analysis of genes induced by TGF-beta1 in human lung fibroblasts. TGF-beta1 is essential for fibroblast -myofibroblast differentiation, which is a hallmark in the development of lung fibrosis. Newly identified genes up- or down-regulated by TGF-beta1 in human lung fibroblasts may serve as pharmacological target for therapeutic options in patients with lung fibrosis.
Project description:We here compared gene expression profiles of primary murine hepatocytes (mPC) upon stimulation with 1 ng/ml TGF-beta1 for 20 min, 2 hours and 4 hours with untreated cells. Experiments were done in three independent replicates. The goal of this study was to determine genes regulated by TGF-beta1.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in human osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS treated by TGF-beta1 for three days (mesophase) and five days (sarcospheres iOSCs), compared to non-treatment cells (residual adherent cells). A three chip study using total RNA cover from three cultures of non-treatment human osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS (residual adherent cells), TGF-beta1 treated three days osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS (mesophase) and TGF-beta1 treated five days osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS ( only collected the suspending sarcospheres iOSCs). Each chip measures the expression level of 45033 genes from osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS.
Project description:We here compared gene expression profiles in HepG2 cells upon stimulation with 1 ng/ml TGF-beta1 for 20 min, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 24 hours with untreated control cells. Experiments were done in three independent replicates. The goal of this study was to determine genes regulated by TGF-beta1.HepG2 cells were obtained from DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany) and cell identity confirmed by STR profiling using the AmpFlSTR Identfiler Direct PCR Amplification kit (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany). Gene expression profiles were compared at indicated time points after stimulation with TGF-beta (1 ng/ml) using the Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays (Affymetrix). In total 18 hybridizations are included in this series.
Project description:Background: The composition of Emdogain® (EMD) is unclear, but it has been postulated to contain transforming growth factor-beta-1 (TGF-beta1) as the main functioning cytokine. The purpose of this study was to compare target genes of EMD and TGF-beta1 on invasive oral carcinoma HSC-3 cells. Particular focus was on matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family genes. <br>Methodology/Principal Findings: Affymetrix microarrays were conducted to study differentially (P<0.05) expressed genes in HSC-3 cells after 6h and 24h of EMD (200 ?g/ml) or TGF-beta1 (10 ng/ml) incubations. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analyses from the regulated genes were also conducted. After 6h of EMD or TGF-?1 treatment, 48 and 393 genes, respectively, were regulated. After 24h incubations, only 12 genes by EMD but 346 genes by TGF-beta1 were regulated. Among the most regulated genes by both of the study reagents were several genes commonly regulated in carcinomas, including MMP-9 and -10. The expression of MMP-10 by EMD treated carcinoma cells was also verified in protein level. <br>Conclusions/Significance: Our results show that EMD and TGF-beta1 can regulate genes related to carcinogenesis, but TGF-beta1 regulates significantly greater number of genes. This suggests that TGF-beta1 cannot be present in EMD at the studied concentration, if present at all.<br>
