Project description:In this study, we generated wildtype H9 hESC derived cardiomyocytes (CM) and neural stem cells (NSC) by in vitro differentiation. Global gene expression profiles were compared among undifferentiated H9 hESC and the derived CM and NSC. Comparison of global gene expression profiles of undifferentiated H9 hESC and the derived CM and NSC populations.

Project description:Genetic mutations on leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) have been associated with an increased risk of Parkinson's disease. The Gly2019Ser (G2019S) mutation on LRRK2 gene is a relatively common cause of familial Parkinson's disease in Caucasian population. In this study, we generated H9 hESC harboring LRRK2 (G2019S) mutation by gene knockin. Wildtype and LRRK2 mutant hESC were differentiated into NSC using a chemically defined protocol.
Project description:Use of single-cell transcriptomics to measure how well medium spiny projection neurons, derived from human ESC, recapitulate human striatal development in vivo. This in vitro single-cell dataset was derived after exposing hESC lines (H9) to a novel striatal differentiation protocol and performing single-cell RNA-seq after 15 days and 25 days of differentiation.
Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EV) are secreted by nearly every mammalian cell type and contain a wealth of bioactive cargo capable of modulating target cell physiology and function though a variety of paracrine signaling mechanisms (Leavitt et al., 2019). Human embryonic stem cell (hESC)-derived extracellular vesicles (hESC-derived EV), were extracted from the hESC line H9 (WA09 Wicell Research Institute, Inc., Madison, WI). We analyzed the bioactive protein cargo to identify components that help to resolve radiation-induced injury to the lung in mice when injected in vivo.

In this study, we generated H9 hESC harboring LRRK2 (G2019S) mutation by gene knockin. Wildtype and LRRK2 mutant hESC were differentiated into NSC using a chemically defined protocol. LRRK2 mutant NSC were treated with or without the LRRK2 kinase specific inhibitor (LRRK2-IN-1). Global gene expression analysis was performed to assess the overall similarity of gene expression profiles among three NSC groups (wildtype; LRRK2 mutant; LRRK2 mutant with inhibitor treatment).
