View SamplesDnmt3b is a DNA methytransferase which is an enzyme that methylated genomic DNA which contributes to genomic stability and transcriptional regulation.
Loss of Dnmt3b function upregulates the tumor modifier Ment and accelerates mouse lymphomagenesis.

View SamplesKeloids are benign tumors of the dermis that form during a protracted wound healing process. Susceptibility to keloid formation occurs predominantly in people of African and Asian descent. The key alteration(s) responsible for keloid formation has not been identified and there is no satisfactory treatment for this disorder. The altered regulatory mechanism is limited to dermal wound healing, although several diseases characterized by an exaggerated response to injury are prevalent in individuals of African ancestry. We have observed a complex pattern of phenotypic differences in keloid fibroblasts grown in standard culture medium or induced by hydrocortisone. In this study Affymetrix-based microarray was performed on RNA obtained from fibroblasts cultured from normal scars and keloids grown in the absence and presence of hydrocortisone. We observed differential regulation of approximately 500 genes of the 38,000 represented on the Affymetrix chip. Of particular interest was increased expression of several IGF-binding and IGF-binding related proteins and decreased expression of a subset of Wnt pathway inhibitors and multiple IL-1-inducible genes. Increased expression of CTGF and IGFBP-3 was observed in keloid fibroblasts only in the presence of hydrocortisone. These findings support a role for multiple fibrosis-related pathways in the pathogenesis of keloids

View SamplesTo understand molecular mechanisms underlying the synergy of Rb loss and E2F8 loss, we used gene expression profiling to assess molecular changes in Mx1-Cre-mediated knockout (KO) mice using RNA isolated from sorted Ter119+CD71high Erythroblasts.
Inactivation of Rb and E2f8 synergizes to trigger stressed DNA replication during erythroid terminal differentiation.

View SamplesFrom preliminary experiments, HSP70 deficient MEF cells display moderate thermotolerance to a severe heatshock of 45.5 degrees after a mild preshock at 43 degrees, even in the absence of hsp70 protein. We would like to determine which genes in these cells are being activated to account for this thermotolerance.

View SamplesWe modeled human Trisomy 21 primitive hematopoiesis using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Primitive multipotent progenitor populations generated from Trisomy 21 iPSCs showed normal proliferative capacity and megakaryocyte production, enhanced erythropoiesis and reduced myeloid development compared to euploid iPSCs.
