Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: The purpose of this study was to identify the genes primarily affected by a short treatment of A549 cells with grading concentrations of the natural compound triptolide. The cells were exposed to this molecule before RNA was extracted, then used for whole human genome microarray experiments.Overall design: 12 samples, corresponding to untreated cells plus three concentrations (0.05, 0.15, 0.45 µM) of tripolide for each time point (1, 2, and 4 hours). Each sample was analysed in triplicate, i.e. three microarray for each condition, making a total of 36 microarrays.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
