Intact living conduit vessels (umbilical veins) were exposed to normal or high intraluminal pressure, or low or high shear stress in combination with a physiological level of the other force. We used a unique vascular ex vivo perfusion system. After six hours of perfusion endothelial cells were isolated from the stimulated vessels and RNA was extracted. RNA from 16 experiments from each stimulation were pooled and analyzed in duplicate DNA microarrays.
Differential global gene expression response patterns of human endothelium exposed to shear stress and intraluminal pressure.

View SamplesValproic acid (VPA) is a short-chain fatty acid used in the treatment of epilepsy and also considered to be an epigenetic modifier by functioning as a histone deacetylase (HDAC)-inhibitor. The aim of this study was to search for gene altered by VPA in human endothelial cells.
Role of histone acetylation in the stimulatory effect of valproic acid on vascular endothelial tissue-type plasminogen activator expression.

View SamplesThe aim of the RNA-seq was to identify the KMT9 transcriptome in PC-3M cells. The MCF10A breast epithelial cells that do not express KMT9a were used to show that the siRNA against KMT9 show no off-target effects. Overall design: 12 samples correponding to 4 times 3 replicates were used for the study
KMT9 monomethylates histone H4 lysine 12 and controls proliferation of prostate cancer cells.
