Human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into specific cell types have been established. The molecular mechanisms for self-renewal and differentiation, however, are poorly understood. We determined the transcriptome profiles for two proprietary human ES cell lines (HES3 and HES4, ES Cell International), and compared them with murine ES cells and other human tissues. Human and mouse ES cells appear to share a number of expressed gene products alth ...[more]

Project description:To identify new candidate genes for neurocristopathies, a Long-SAGE library has been made from human neural crest cells (hNCC) derived from a normal embryo at Carnegie stage 13. Data analysis indicates the expression of a number of genes in multiple GO functional classes that were anticipated based on animal studies and/or human disease. An average linkage hierarchical clustering was performed using SAGE data from hNCC and 14 other normal tissues and cell lines. This and other analyses indicate a high degree of molecular identity between hNCC and the two human embryonic stem cells (hES) lines included, compared to the other tissue or cell types included, including more tissue-restricted stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells, or hNCC derivatives such as Schwann cells. Keywords: Cell type comparison Total RNA was extracted from a confluent 10 cm dish of hNCC (line N5) from a female human embryo at 28-32 dpf (Carnegie stage 13). Half the RNA was used to construct a SAGE bank with long tags using NlaIII and MmeI. Data was then compared to currently publicly available SAGE data from fourteen banks made from normal human tissues for hierarchical clustering.

Project description:Mouse embryonic stem cells lines derived from different mouse strains show considerable variation concerning their culture conditions, gene targeting efficiency and germ line transmission capacity. To gain insight into the basis for this phenomenon, we generated a SAGE library of the C57BL/6 derived ES cell line Bruce-4 and compared their gene expression to 129 strain-derived cells, which in general show the best performance in gene targeting experiments. Gene Ontology (GO) analyses for functional groups of genes demonstrated considerably higher expression of clusters indicating cellular differentiation as well as cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion in R1 than in Bruce-4 cells. At the single gene level, almost 90% of the most strongly expressed transcripts in each library were significantly differential. Regarding transcripts that have been linked to stem cell state, seven of the 20 selected genes were expressed in both cell lines, eleven showed stronger expression in Bruce-4 ES cells and only one in R1 cells. These results suggest that expression of “stemness” genes cannot be used as a sole criterion for efficiency of ES cells in gene targeting experiments. Keywords: Embryonic stem cells, SAGE, gene expression profile We generated a SAGE library of the C57BL/6-derived ES cell line Bruce-4 and compared their gene expression to an already available SAGE library of 129-derived R1 ES cells generated by Anisimov et al (GSM72878).

Project description:A plethora of research has focused on the human embryonic stem cells (hESC) ever since they were first reported mainly due to their distinct features of self renewal and pluripotency. Probing of the hESC transcriptome using global expression profiling tools such as DNA microarray, Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE), Massively Parallel Signature Sequencing (MPSS) and Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) analysis have contributed significantly in our current understanding of hESCs. In fact, a large number of markers to assess the pluripotent and differentiation status of hESCs have been presented by such studies. However, till date clarity is lacking in identifying a robust set of markers to assess the true state of the hESCs. In this paper, we report the generation of long SAGE libraries for partially differentiated and differentiated HES3 along with a deeper profiling of our previously reported HES3 undifferentiated library. Clustering analysis of these libraries in concert with long and short SAGE libraries available in public databases using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) as well as a poison-based approach helped in identification of expression patterns distinct from those reported for the well established pluriptency/differentiation markers. Almost all the previous studies reporting a robust set of markers have focused on a gene by gene comparison in listing out the upregulated and downregulated genes rather than look at the expression patterns in establishing a list of markers. In this analysis, however, we report a new set of markers as well as add confidence to some previously reported markers based on their novel expression patterns as identified by SAGE analysis and also confirm it by real-time PCR analysis. For the real-time PCR confirmation, instead of taking two extreme data sets such as undifferentiated and a late stage embryoid body, we profiled a time series of embryoid body stages so that we could identify those genes which show a dramatic increase or decrease upon differentiation and hence would serve as more reliable markers. The hESC lines HES3 from ES Cell International, Singapore (http://www.escellinternational.com) were cultured on mouse embryonic fibroblast feeders (MEFs) as described previously. Selection of cells for library construction was done by micro-dissection following our established protocols. Spontaneous differentiation was induced by prolonged culture without changing the feeder layer. Briefly the HES3 cell line was grown to 18 passages (P18) on MEFs, after which no sub-culturing was performed. The medium was changed daily for 25 days and the differentiated cell population was harvested at the end of the culture period by micro-dissection. Cell differentiation was confirmed by Immuno-cytochemistry for markers to the three germ layers, as well as RT-PCR for the differentiation markers. For construction of the partially differentiated library, colonies which had started differentiation, as suggested by the morphological changes towards the centre and periphery of the colonies were used. Entire HES3 colonies (24P) which had started differentiation were harvested by micro-dissection and used for library construction. MmeI was used as tagging enzyme and libraries were constructed using the LS-SAGE kit from Invitrogen (http://www.invitrogen.com). Cloning of concatemerized ditags and sequencing of tags were done as outlined earlier. The 10 bp SAGE tags were extracted using Microsoft Excel for direct comparisons between libraries.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that low-abundant transcripts may play fundamental roles in biological processes. In an attempt to estimate the prevalence of low-abundant transcripts in eukaryotic genomes, we performed a transcriptome analysis in Drosophila using the SAGE technique. We collected 244,313 SAGE tags from transcripts expressed in Drosophila embryonic, larval, pupae, adult, and testicular tissue. From these SAGE tags, we identified 40,823 unique SAGE tags. Our analysis showed that 55% of the 40,823 unique SAGE tags are novel without matches in currently known Drosophila transcripts, and most of the novel SAGE tags have low copy numbers. Further analysis indicated that these novel SAGE tags represent novel low-abundant transcripts expressed from loci outside of currently annotated exons including the intergenic and intronic regions, and antisense of the currently annotated exons in the Drosophila genome. Our study reveals the presence of a significant number of novel low-abundant transcripts in Drosophila, and highlights the need to isolate these novel low-abundant transcripts for further biological studies.

Project description:Biomphalaria glabrata infection by the Schistosoma mansoni free-swimming miracidium and its subsequent development to the parasitic sporocyst stage is critical to establishment of viable infections and triggers a variety of physiological, biochemical and molecular changes. Here, we describe a genome-wide analysis of the S. mansoni miracidium and developing sporocyst. Keywords: life-cycle, development, host-interaction We generated transcriptomic profiles of the developing larval stages of Schistosoma mansoni using long serial analysis of gene expression (LongSAGE). Five cDNA libraries were constructed from miracidia and in vitro cultured 6- and 20-day old sporocysts maintained in sporocyst medium (SM) or in SM conditioned by previous cultivation with cells of the B. glabrata embryonic (Bge) cell line. From five libraries, 314,799 SAGE tags were sequenced and resulted in a total of 21,440 unique sequence tags. A total of 254 tags were differentially expressed during “conditioned” development and 236 tags were differentially expressed during “un-conditioned” development. In addition, 53 tags were found to be differentially expressed between 6-day conditioned and unconditioned sporocysts and 42 tags between 20-day conditioned and unconditioned sporocysts.
