Expression studies of HMEC exposed to lactic acidosis and hypoxia. Homo sapiens

Human Mammalian Epithelial Cells (HMEC) were exposed to different environmental stresses, including hypoxia, lactic acidosis, the combination of hypoxia and lactic acidosis, lactosis , as well as acidosis. We used microarrays to examine the genomic programs of cells incubated under different microenvironments. Keywords: different environmental stresses Overall design: HMEC cells were exposed to different environmental stresses and RNAs were extracted and put on Affymetrix microarrays. We gathered RNAs from cells grown in regular media (control), lactic acidosis, hypoxia, the combinatino of lactic acidosis and hypoxia, lactosis, as well as acidosis.
