Rat lung-resident mesenchymal stem cells (LR-MSCs) were isolated via bronchoalveolar lavage from fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10) pretreated lungs. We characterized the similarity and diversity between LR-MSCs and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) by transcriptional profiling of these two types of cells.

View SamplesIncomplete thermal ablation may induce invasiveness of hepatocellur carcinoma, however, the mechasim is not fully understood. Here, we investigated whether activated hepatic stellate cells would accelerate the progression of residual HCC after sublethal heat treatment via the secretion of POSTN.

View SamplesPrimary uncultured CD31+ and CD105+ tumor endothelial cells (TEC), non-tumor endothelial cells (NEC) ,remnant cells from tumor (TC) and non-tumor liver tissue (NTC)of HCC tissues from patientswere isolated by magnetic-activated cell sorting. Affymetrix Human Gene ST Arrays were used to determine gene expression profiles of HCC cells and matched TEC and NEC cells.

View SamplesThe natural history of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection could be divided in different phases by transaminase and HBV replication levels. However, it remains unknown how the intrahepatic transcriptomes in patients are correlated with the clinical phases. Here, we determined the intrahepatic transcriptomes of chronic hepatitis B patients and examined the role of specific groups of genes, including immune-related genes, in the control of hepatitis B virus infection.

View SamplesThe retina is often subjected to tractional forces in a variety of conditions, for instance, pathological myopia, proliferative vitreoretinopathy. As the predominant glial element in the sensory retina, Muller cells are responsible for the homeostatic and metabolic support of retinal neurons and active players in virtually all forms of retinal injury and disease. Besides, Muller cells span the entire retinal thickness, extending from the inner to the outer limiting membranes, with cell bodies located in the inner nuclear layer and lateral processes expanding into the plexiform layers of the tissue. Because of this unique morphology, Muller cells can sense even minute changes in the retinal structure because of the mechanical stretching of their long processes or side branches. Thus, its reasonable to infer that Muller cells also participate in ocular diseases when the retina is overstretched. In this study, we aim to investigate the whole genome regulation of Muller cells under mechanical stretching, which may help in excluding possible molecular mechanisms that would account for many retinal diseases in which the retina is often subjected to mechanical forces.
