Project description:Cells obtained from adipose tissue are able to differentiate into megakaryocytes. We compared the gene expression profile of human adipose tissue derived megakaryocytes with that of megakaryocytes differentiated from human CD34 positive cord blood hematopoietic stem cells.
Project description:Effect of HES6 knockdown on gene expression in vitro differentiated megakaryocytes, erythroblasts and precursor cells, cultured from CB CD34+ HSPCs.
Project description:Microarray gene expression data is used to compare the transcriptomics of hiPSC, hiPSC derived forward programmed-, hiPSC derived directed differentiated- megakaryoctes AND cord- blood derived megakaryocytes
Project description:Cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic precursors (3 donors) were control or HES6 shRNA (HES6 knockdown) transduced and cultured for four days in media containing SCF, TPO and EPO to drive differentiation towards megakaryocytes and erythroid cells. After four days four subpopulations were sorted for RNA isolation to research the effect of HES6 knockdown on gene expression. We sorted megakaryocytes (CD41+) and early (CD71+ CD235-) and late (CD71+ CD235+) erythroblasts (CD41-) and CD34- precursor cells (CD41- CD71- CD235- CD34-).
Project description:Normal donors BM CD34+ cells were differentiated in thrombopoietin-treated liquid suspension cultures. Briefly, CD34+ cells (80,000 /mL) were resuspended in a serum-free medium in the presence of 100 ng/mL of human recombinant thrombopoietin (TPO; Genzyme, Boston, MA). Every 3 days, viable cells were scored by Trypan blue dye exclusion and cultures were amplified with fresh serum-free medium. Each well was then supplemented with 100 ng/mL TPO. After 14 to 16 days of liquid culture, CD34-derived megakaryocytes (MKs) were purified by means of an anti-CD41a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) (Dako, Milan, Italy) directed against the glycoproteic *IIb-*3 complex and immunobeads (MPC 450 Dynabeads; Dynal, Oslo, Norway), as previously described (27). The purity of MKs was determined for each isolation by indirect immunofluorescence, using an anti-CD41b MoAb which reacts with a different epitope of *IIb-*3 subunit (Immunotech Inc., Westbrook, ME), followed by a goat anti-mouse IgG, covalently linked to fluorescein (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA).

Project description:ChIP-seq assay was performed with anti-p45 antibody using in vitro cultured primary megakaryocytes to identify direct p45 target genes in megakaryocytes. This analysis revealed genes that regulate platelet function, which were not known previously to be p45-regulated. ChIP was performed using a day-3 primary culture of megakaryocytes from E13.5 fetal livers of wild-type mice with an anti-p45 antibody.
