Project description:AML1-ETO expression in normal human umbilical cord blood CD34+ cells leads to long-term proliferation of an early self-renewing primitive progenitor cell with multilineage potential and stem cell ability, but these cells do not induce leukemia in immunodeficient mice. This comparative microarray study was initiated to determine the differences in the transcriptome of AML-ETO-expressing CD34+ cells after extended culture in vitro, using normal cord blood cells expanded for 6-8 weeks in vitro and subsequently purified for the CD34+ population as the control comparison. Keywords: Disease state analysis; comparison of changes in transcriptome due to long-term AML1-ETO expression in normal human hematopoietic CD34+ progenitor cells
Project description:The global gene expression profiles of human umbilical cord blood and adult bone marrow CD34+CD33-CD38-Rho(lo)c-kit+ cells, enriched for hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSC) with CD34+CD33-CD38-Rho(hi) cells, enriched in committed hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC), were compared to identify candidate regulators of HSC self-renewal versus differentiation fate decisions. Keywords: parallel sample
Project description:Gene expression profiles of CD34+CD38- stem cells and more differentiated CD34+CD38+ progenitor cells were compared. Comparison of expression profiles of hematopoietic stem cells from fetal liver, umbilical cord blood, bone marrow and mobilized pheripheral blood allowed us to identify a unique set of genes with conserved expression during ontogeny. Keywords: Cell type comparison
Project description:Gene expression profiles of CD34+CD38- stem cells and more differentiated CD34+CD38+ progenitor cells were compared. Comparison of expression profiles of hematopoietic stem cells from fetal liver, umbilical cord blood, bone marrow and mobilized pheripheral blood allowed us to identify a unique set of genes with conserved expression during ontogeny. Experiment Overall Design: CD34+CD38- en CD34+CD38+ cell populations were isolated by cell sorting from human Bone Marrow, mobilized peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood and fetal liver. Total RNA was isolated from each cell population followed by the synthesis of biotinylated cRNA. After fragmentation the biotinylated cRNA was hybridized to affymetrix U133A chips.
Project description:Comparison of the CD34+CD38- versus CD34+CD38+ fractions of human umbilical cord blood and comparison of the slow-dividing fraction versus the fast dividing fraction of the CD34+/CD38- population.
Project description:In order to revealed the multiple protein functional modules and kinases networks of human early erythropoiesis. We isolated the CD34+ cells drived from Human umbilical cord blood samples and induced to undergo erythropoiesis in vitro. Then, the cultured erythroid cells were sorted with FACS and sampled for proteome and phosphoproteome analysis.
Project description:We analysed the transcriptome of different HSC-enriched subpopulations of cells sorted from human umbilical cord blood and isolated from several individuals with different genetic backgrounds. We aim at identifying new cell surface markers associated with human HSC and downstream mature hematopoietic cell activity. RNA-seq of CD34+CD45RA- cord blood cells from 17 non-pooled individuals.
Project description:We investigated the miRNA expression in ex vivo human erythroid cultures from K562 cells. Hypothetically, the decline of certain miRNAs may promote erythropoiesis by unblocking expression of key functional proteins while the up-regulation of other miRNAs may block commitment to non-erythroid lineages. By comparison with the miRNA expression changes in human umbilical cord blood-derived CD34 cells, signature miRNAs for erythroid development can be discovered. Keywords: miRNA expression profiling
