Project description:Here, we used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to provide a high-resolution cellular taxonomy of freshly isolated primary human osteoblasts. Based on the gene expression patterns and cell lineage reconstruction, we identified three distinct clusters including preosteoblasts, mature osteoblasts, and an undetermined rare osteoblast subpopulation. Trajectory inference analysis suggested that the undetermined cluster may include osteoblast precursor cells which regulate the osteoblastogenesis process by giving rise to pre and mature osteoblasts. Investigation of the biological processes and signaling pathways enriched in each subpopulation revealed that in addition to bone formation, pre and undetermined osteoblasts may regulate both angiogenesis and hemopoiesis.
Project description:MicroRNA expression profiles for human Multilple Myeloma and MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) were examined to investigate the miRNA involvement in the development of this neoplasia.
Project description:Gene expression analysis of CD138-depleted bone marrow cells from patients with SMM, patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and patients with symptomatic MM was performed by using Nanostring Technology
Project description:The DNA methylation value in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma was undetermined. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to identify recurrence-related abbrent CpG methylation.
Project description:The DNA methylation value in early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma was undetermined. The Illumina Infinium 450k Human DNA methylation Beadchip was used to identify recurrence-related abbrent CpG methylation. This study was performed in a total of 66 early-stage HCC samples, including 29 recurrence samples and 37 recurrence-free samples
Project description:Role of alternative polyadenylation in muscle development remains largely undetermined. Our WTTS-seq approach to capture 3'-end of RNAs clearly revealed alternaitve polyadenylation events responsible for reduced muscle mass in AMPK α1, but increased muscle mass in AMPK α2 knockout mice.
Project description:Role of alternative transcription start sites in muscle growth and development remains largely undetermined. Our WTSS-seq (whole transcriptome start site sequencing) approach to capture 5'-end of RNAs clearly revealed alternative transcription start events responsible for increased muscle mass in AMPK α2 knockout mice.
