Project description:For definitive endoderm differentiation, iPS cells (day0) were treated with 100 ng ml-1 activin A and 3μM CHIR99021 for 1 day and 100 ng ml-1 activin A for the following two days. Definitive endoderm was subsequently treated with 3uM CHIR99021 and 500ng ml-1 FGF4 for mid/hindgut differentiation. Mid/hindgut floating spheroids (fl; t-Spheroids) were collected from culture medium from day6 to day 8. On day6, mid/hindgut cells were dissociated into single cells and seeded onto EZSPHERE plate to generate suspension spheroids(EZ; s-Spheroids). RNA of fl spheroids and EZ spheroids were extracted using QIAGEN RNeasy kit.

Project description:The International Stem Cell Initiative compared three common approaches for assessing pluripotent stem cells (PSC). The formation of teratomas in vivo, or embryoid bodies (EB) in vitro, provide direct tests of differentiation, whereas PluriTest predicts pluripotency through bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomes of undifferentiated cells. Here we studied the starting poulations of pluripotent stem cells using an Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip assays

Project description:Spheroids are 3D multi-cell aggregates formed in non-addherent culture conditions. In ovarian cancer (OC), they serve as a vehicle for cancer cell dissemination in the peritoneal cavity. We investigated genes and networks upregulated in three dimensional (3D) versus two-dimensional (2D) culture conditions by Affymetrix gene expression profiling and identified ALDH1A1, a cancer stem cell marker as being upregulated in OC spheroids. Network analysis confirmed ALDH1A1 upregulation in spheroids in direct connection with elements of the beta-catenin pathway. A parallel increase in the expression levels of beta-catenin and ALDH1A1 was demonstrated in spheroids vs. monolayers an in successive spheroid generations by using OC cell liness and primary OC cells. The percentage of Aldefluor positive cells was significantly higher in spheroids vs. monolayers in IGROV1, A2780, SKOV3, and primary OC cells. B-catenin knock-down decreased ALDH1A1 expression and chromatin immunoprecipitation demonstrated that beta-catenin directly binds to the ALDH1A1 promoter. Both siRNA mediated beta-catenin knock-down and a novel ALDH1A1 small molecule enzymatic inhibitor described here for the first time, decreased the number of OC spheroids (p<0.001) and cell viability. These data strongly support the role of beta-catenin regulated ALDH1A1 in the maintenance of OC spheroids and of a stem cell phenotype and propose new ALDH1A1 inhibitors targeting this cell population. Different gene profiles were observed in ovarian cancer spheroids versus ovarian cancer monolayers. Nine samples were analyzed in triplicate. Each group is a reference.

Project description:Many lincRNAs have been identified as essential regulators for ESC pluripotency through siRNA-based screening. However, the biological and molecular functions of the large intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) remain unclear. Here, we employed CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout technology to explore the functions of 8 previously annotated lincRNAs in ESCs. Unexpectedly, it was found that most lincRNAs are dispensable for pluripotency maintenance, cloning formation ability, proliferation and apoptosis in ESCs when we disrupted these lincRNAs individually or in combinations. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of a set of lncRNA knockout ESCs showed consistent results, indicating that previously observed functions of lincRNAs on ESC pluripotency maintenance may be due to off-targeted effects. Interestingly, deletion and transcriptional repression of linc1343 disrupts embryoid body (EB) differentiation in ESC. Notably, GM17300 and two small RNAs (Snora73a, Snora73b) derived from the lnc1343 locus are highly expressed in ESCs. Further overexpression of Snora73a and Snora73b in linc1343 knockout cells rescue the phenotype, suggesting that snoRNAs derived from linc1343 are the responders for EB differentiation. Taken together, our results demonstrate the divergent effects of lincRNAs on regulating ESC pluripotency and EB differentiation.

Project description:The International Stem Cell Initiative compared three common approaches for assessing pluripotent stem cells (PSC). The formation of teratomas in vivo, or embryoid bodies (EB) in vitro, provide direct tests of differentiation, whereas PluriTest predicts pluripotency through bioinformatic analysis of transcriptomes of undifferentiated cells. We studied the teratomas by histology and TeratoScore, which analyzes gene expression in each tumor. For the EB assay, we assessed differentiation under neutral conditions and under conditions promoting differentiation to ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm lineages. Comparison of each method showed that all assays predict pluripotency, but they have different endpoints that provide different insights. For example, tumors from a subset of lines also contained undifferentiated cells and yolk sac elements that indicate possible malignant potential. This characteristic was not detected by the other two methods. Our results highlight the need for multiple assays to assess both pluripotency and potential malignancy in clinical applications of PSCs.

Project description:Kaposi sarcoma is the most common cancer in AIDS patients and is typified by red skin lesions.The disease is caused by the KSHV virus (HHV8) and is recognisable by its distinctive red skin lesions. The lesions are KSHV infected spindle cells expressing markers of the lymphatic endothelial and blood vessel endothelial cells as well as other cell types. The effects of KSHV infection of lymphatic endothelial cells (LEC) cultured in 3D matrix for three days were assayed using Affymetrix hgu133plus2 chips. There are n=3 of 1. control LEC spheroids (LEC), 2. KSHV infected LEC spheroids (K-LEC)

Project description:Stem cell differentiation strategies and optimization for generating lineage-specific cells and tissues most frequently rely on a three-dimensional embryoid body (EB) intermediate. We previously applied nanotechnology tools of photolithography to generate custom microarrays that allow high throughput uniform formation of EBs of custom size for precise downstream analysis. Formation of EBs of 200 or 500 micron size revealed distinct morphological differences that are single or multicystic cores, respectively, independent of method of formation from single cells or two-dimensional (2D) clusters. Here we utilize photolithographic array generated EBs to obtain 3D cultures under a standardized platform for transcriptome analysis to compare EB size and the method of EB formation from single cells or mechanically passaged 2D clusters. Our analysis evaluates RNA expression in EBs formed from the human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line WA09 and from ethnically diverse human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (ED-iPSC) of African American and Hispanic Latino ethnicity recently derived in our laboratory. This is the first comprehensive study on EB transcriptomes including multiple size parameters, EB formation methodologies, and ethnicities. Our analysis indicates upregulation of genes involved in wound healing for mechanically passaged cells and of genes for embryonic tube formation in 500 micron multicystic EBs. We propose that EB maturation may be a longer process then previously realized. In addition, the type or extent of maturation possible may be influenced by EB size, with larger EBs capable of more extensive remodeling as revealed by multicystic morphology and initiation of early tube formation pathways while retaining pluripotency status. We anticipate that this information will be broadly useful to the stem cell and bioengineering communities in optimization of tissue engineering with pluripotent stem cells and understanding sources of variation. mRNA profiles by RNA-seq from embryoid bodies generated by different methods
