Human mesenchymal stem cells are expected to be a useful tool for cellular therapy. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profiles and selected candidate biomarkers that indicate the culture stage of the cells.

View SamplesWe found constitutive upregulation and higher degree induction of drug metabolism and disposition-related genes in a three-dimensional HepG2 culture. The upregulated genes are those believed to be regulated by different regulatory factors. The global gene expression analysis by Affymetrix GeneChip indicated that altered expressions of microtubule-related genes may change expressed levels of drug metabolism and disposition genes. Stabilization of the microtubule molecules with docetaxel, a tubulin stabilizing agent, in the two-dimensional culture showed gene expression patterns similar to those in the three-dimensional culture, indicating that culture environment affects drug metabolism functions in HepG2 cells.

View SamplesHuman mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), which are multipotent cells to differentiate into several cell types, are expected to be a useful tool for cellular therapy. In some clinical settings, hMSCs have immuno-suppressive effects for GVHD (Graft-versus-host disease) and are expanded in vitro before application. To find biomarkers that indicate the culture stage of hMSCs, we performed microarray analysis for hMSCs derived from bone marrow, using Affymetrix GeneChip Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 (54,613 probe sets).

View SamplesThe overall data contains expression profile of rat genes of cardiac fibroblasts. G-protein signaling is regulated in cardiac fibroblasts. The expresssion of angiotensin II receptor or cytokine such as interleukin is regulated by PTX (which is suggested to suppress Gi function) treatment.
