Project description:Gene expression profiling reveals a potential role of SQ, Tri-SQ, and Tetra-SQ in stimulating hair growth in dermal papilla cells. Squalene (SQ) was found to exhibit a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity; however, its biological effects is underestimated because of its insolubility. To overcome this problem, new amphiphilic SQ derivatives were synthesized and were used in this study to check their potential effect in vitro and in vivo on inducing hair growth while exhibiting an anti-aging property.
Project description:Global gene expression profiling reveals a potential anti-melanoma effect of SQ-diEG in B16F10 lung colonization mice model. Squalene (SQ) was considered as a promising natural agent in anti-cancer treatment due to its strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity; however, its pharmacological value has been largely underestimated because of its poor solubility and bioavailability. To adress this problem, a novel amphiphilic SQ derivative which bearing ethylene glycol oligomers was synthesized and was used as a permeation enhancer in this study to check its potential effect on anti-melanoma metastasis using B16F10 lung colonization mice model. Total 40 six years old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into five groups (8 mice per group), including the control "(-)B16F10 injected and water treated"; the model "(+) B16F10 injected and water treated"; the positive control "(+) B16F10 injected and DTIC treated (Dacarbazine, 70 mg/kg/day)"; the SQ-diEG treatment "(+) B16F10 injected and SQ-diEG treated (5 mg/kg/day)"; the SQ-diEG treatment "(+) B16F10 injected and SQ-diEG treated (25 mg/kg/day)". After one week of acclimatization, B16F10 were murine melanoma cells line which intravenously injected (200000 tumor cells in 100 μl PBS, 0.2 ml/mouse) through the tail vein of mice. Mice was orally administrated with Dacarbazine (DTIC, positive control, 70mg/kg), and SQ-diEG (5mg/kg and 25mg/kg) for 20 days. On the last day of administration, mice was sacrificed and its lung was washed and collect for the further RNA extraction. Finally, the mice microarray gene expression profiling was conducted for two biological replicates.
Project description:Gene expression profiling reveals a potential role of APC 50% or APC 80% in stimulating hair growth in dermal papilla cells. HFDPCs were human primary cells line, treated with 5 μg/ml APC 50% for 48 h. Microarray gene expression profiling was conducted for three biological replicates HFDPCs were human primary cells line, treated with 5 μg/ml APC 80% for 48 h. Microarray gene expression profiling was conducted for three biological replicates
Project description:Gene expression profiling reveals functional difference between Sq and HH-Sq on differentiation, metabolism, and lipid droplot formation of dADSC Microarray gene expression profiling was conducted for technical replicates of adipocyte induced dADSC (IN), adipocyte induced and treated with Sq (Sq), adipocyte induced and treated with HH-Sq (HH-Sq) for 14 days (1 µM) to identify its effect in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation, metabolism, and lipid droplet accumulation. Technical replicates represent the same hybridization mixture applied to 3 independent arrays.
