Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Cellular senescence is a tumor-suppressive program that involves chromatin reorganization and specific changes in gene expression that trigger an irreversible cell-cycle arrest. We have examined the effect of suppressing the histone demethylases Jarid1a and Jarid1b on the senescence-associated gene expression signatures.Overall design: Human fibroblast (IMR90) cells were infected with retroviral vectors expresssing shRNA targeting Jarid1a, Jarid1b or both, and triggered to undergo quiescence by removal of serum or senescence by over-expression of activated ras (Hrasv12).

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
