Project description:Analysis of hypoxia-exposed human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells to identify the commonly regulated genes by hypoxia. Results provide insight into the regulatory mechanism of hypoxic responses in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Project description:Analysis of hypoxia-exposed human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells to identify the commonly regulated microRNAs by hypoxia. Results provide insight into the regulatory mechanism of hypoxic responses in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Project description:Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells were either mock transfected, transfected with scramble control or transfected with pre-miR-143. After 24 hours the cells were harvested with Qiazol and processed for a microarray experiment. The experiment was performed in order to identify potential targets of miR-143.
Project description:Analysis of miRNAs associated with NCL via RNA immunoprecipitation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells using NCL antibodies to identify a distinct set of miRNAs regulated by NCL. Results provide insight into the regulatory mechanism of RNA binding proteins in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Project description:Analysis of exosomal microRNAs secreted by PDGF-stimulated human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Results increase our understanding of exosome-mediated crosstalk between vascular cells under a pathological condition.
Project description:Investigation of RBPMS role in post-transcriptional control of mRNAs in rat PAC1 pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs). PolyA mRNA-Seq was carried out after RBPMS knockdown in differentiated PAC1 cells and after inducible RBPMS-A overexpression in dedifferentiated (proliferative) PAC1 cells.
Project description:Nitric oxide (NO) regulated pulmonary vascular function and structure, in part, via its effect on gene expression. We used microarrays to determine the up- and downregulated genes in rat pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells exposed to the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) for 1, 2, and 4 hours.
