A study of gene expression influenced by simulated microgravity in human lymphoblastoid cells

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-04-23
Here in this study we systematically examined the patterns of DNA methylation and hydroxy-methylation with its functional implications in gene regulation for the cultured TK6 lymphoblastoid cells upon exposure to micro-gravity conditions. The results reported here indicate that simulated microgravity alters methylation patterns in a limited way and subsequently the expression of genes involved in stress response like ATF3 FBXO17 MAP3K13 and VCL in TK6 cells. Overall design: Examination of RNA-seq with 2 replicates each for 1 cell type
