Project description:We report a genome-wide microarray analysis of gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) and in vitro ES-derived cells. iHoxB4 ESCs were transduced with a library of shRNAs targeting >15,000 genes, and were differentiated towards hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by forcing HoxB4 expression in the cells. Five cell populations were isolated on differentiation days 6 and 20. Differentiated mesodermal/endothelium cell population D6F (Ssea1-Flkl+Cxcr4-), endodermal cell population D6C (Ssea1-Flkl-Cxcr4+), D20LS (Lin-Sca1+c-Kit–), D20LK (Lin–Sca1–c-Kit+), and D20LSK (Lin–Sca1+c-Kit+) cells were purified by FACS. Transduced iHoxB4 cells were analyzed as undifferentiated control cells. The experiment was performed three times independently.
Project description:Peripheral inflammation affects hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow and induce myeloid lineage skewing of the progenitor cells. In this study, we performed single cell ATAC-sequencing in LSK (Lin—Sca-1+cKit+ ) and GMP (Lin—c-Kit+Sca1—CD16/32+CD34+) cells to determine the impact of ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) on the epigenomic profile of these BM cells.
Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic LSK(Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+) cells lacking the Serum response factor (SRF) gene. Results provide insight into the role of SRF in regulating genetic programs important for hematopoietic stem cell development
Project description:Runx/Cbfb heterodimers play important roles in the development of hematopoietic cells in mouse embryos and adults. In order to identify genes that are regulated by Runx/Cbfb, we purified Lin– c-kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) cells and Lin– c-kit+ Sca1– CD16/32+ (GMP) cells from Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) and Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice and profiled gene expression using microarray.
Project description:The gene expression of bone marrow Hdc-/- and WT (LSK, Lin-c-kit+Sca-1+) hematopoetic stem and progenitor cells were isolated from Hdc-/- or WT mice. Cells were sorted by the cell surface markers of LSK total RNA was isolated from sorted 2,000 HSPCs using the ARCTURUS PicoPure RNA isolation kit (Life Technologies). cDNA was amplified and libraries were constructed by using the SMARTer Ultra Low Input RNA kit (Clontech Laboratories) and the Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation kit (Illumina) according to the respective manufacturer’s instructions. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina HiSeq2500 platform.
