Project description:To investigate the function of slit1 in the regulation of opcs differentiation, we transfected Vector and Slit1 to Rat OPC by Lonza Transfection.
Project description:To determine the role played by Med23 in OPC differentiation, OPCs were isolated from the Med23cKO (i.e., Med23-/-OPCs) or control mice (i.e., Med23+/+OPCs) and induced to differentiate in vitro. We then performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from RNA-seq of Med23+/+iOLs and Med23-/-iOLs .
Project description:To quantitative analysis of transcriptome changes caused by lnc-OPC knockdown during OPC differentiation from NSC, lentivirus-based short hairpin RNAs were used to knockdown the lnc-OPC expression in a neural stem cell culture . Subsequently, puromycin-selected NSCs were differentiated to OPC in culture for three days.RNA-Seq was performed on the polyadenylated fraction of RNA isolated from cell samples. DEseq was used for differential gene expression analysis caused by lnc-OPC knockdown. GO functional term enrichment analysis of differential gene expression caused by lnc-OPC knockdown, revealed significant enrichment of âoligodendrocyte developmentâ, âoligodendrocyte differentiationâ, âglia cell developmentâ, and âaxon ensheathmentâ terms that are associated with oligodendrogenesis. mRNA profiles of differentiiated NSC samples after lnc-OPC knockdown by RNA-sequencing.

DEseq was used for differential gene expression analysis caused by lnc-OPC knockdown. GO functional term enrichment analysis of differential gene expression caused by lnc-OPC knockdown, revealed significant enrichment of ‘oligodendrocyte development’, ‘oligodendrocyte differentiation’, ‘glia cell development’, and ‘axon ensheathment’ terms that are associated with oligodendrogenesis.
Project description:To identify factors involved in OPC senescence, we compared gene expressions between OPC-CG4, OPC-FCS and OPC-Rev. We established OPC senescence model system, in which OPC become senescent in the presence of high concentration of FCS. This phenotypes were kept even when the medium was switched to their optimal serum-free medium.
Project description:We aimed to determine whether overexpression of endoderm-specific miRNA may affect hESC differentiation. To this end, we analyzed the effect of lentiviral-based overexpression of liver-specific miR-122 on hESC differentiation, using genomewide gene microarrays. Stable overexpression of endoderm-specific miR-122 in hESC resulted in increased expression of a few endodermal markers in spontaneously-differentiating hESC, but had no clear effect on directing differentiation towards an endodermal fate; rather, it delayed the general differentiation of hESC.
