Project description:The successfully immortalized fetal human hepatocytes expressed large numbers of hepatic and other genes. The expression of gene groups and networks was maintained over extended culture.
Project description:Primary human Sertoli cells (hSerCs) were immortalized by transducing human TERT into the genome to produce human TERT-immortalized human Sertoli cells (hTERT hSerCs). Total RNA was isolated from both primary hSerCs and hTERT hSerCs and submitted for Affymetrix gene analysis. Gene expression differences of common Sertoli cell marker genes and xenobiotic transporters was preferentially assessed between each cell type.
Project description:Neuborn marmoset fibroblasts were immortalized by piggyBac transposition of hTERT expression cassette. The gene expression of the resulting one polyclonal and two monoclonal immortalized cell lines were then compared with the wild type cells used for their derivation.
Project description:The analysis showed differences of transcriptomes between primary CDCs and immortalized CDCs as well as revealed TGF-β inhibitor-SB431542 treatment induced expression changes. We identified hTERT immortalization could result the cell proliferation and cell cycle related genes upregulation in iCDC. KEGG results demonstrated that TGF-β inhibitor SB431542 treatment could inhibit cardiomyopathy-related pathway which indicate TGF-β signaling pathway may serve as new target for cardiomyopathy therapy, and iCDC could be used as a heart-related chemicals screening.
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.
