Project description:MYB plays a critical role as a regulator of erythropoieisis. We have shown that MYB silences epsilon and gamma-globin expression in erythroid progenitors. We here examine erythroid cells at the basophilic erythroblast stage of differentiation with MYB shRNA or control lentiviral transduction prior to differentiation. We have cultured CD34 cells and transduced the cells with lentiviruses harboring shRNAs targeting MYB or controls and then allowed the cells to differentiate down the erythroid lineage. At the basophilic erythroblast stage of differentiation, the cells were harvested and total RNA was extracted. This was used to hybridize to Affymetrix expression arrays using the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 platform to ascertain expression differences that occur with the knockdown of MYB.
Project description:IRF2, IRF6, and MYB are candidate regulators of human erythropoiesis. We here examine primary CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs)-derived erythroid progenitors with control, IRF2, IRF6, or MYB shRNA lentiviral transduction prior to differentiation. Gene expression microarray profiling datasets for MYB shRNA and control shRNA were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under accession number GSE25678. The data were analyzed together with the datasets obtained in this study.

Gene expression microarray profiling datasets for MYB shRNA and control shRNA were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under accession number GSE25678. The data were analyzed together with the datasets obtained in this study. Primary maturing adult erythroblasts were generated ex vivo from CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) using a serum-free two-phase liquid culture system. CD34+ HSPCs were transduced with lentiviruses containing shRNAs against IRF2 or IRF6 gene, selected and differentiated to proerythroblasts (ProEs). Cells were harvested at day 5 of differentiated and total RNA were extracted. This was used to hybridize to Affymetrix expression arrays using the HG-U133 Plus 2.0 platform.
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:We used microarray profiling in erythroid cells to uncover TAL1 dependent genes in a hematopoietic differentiation context. Differentiated ex vivo hematopoietic multipotential progenitors isolated from adult peripheral blood. The knockdown of TAL1 (KD) was induced in pro-erythroblasts (Days 8 and 9 of differentiation) using lentivirus-delivered shRNA. A scramble (scr) shRNA sequence was used as a negative control.
