Project description:It has been demonstrated that CHIR99021 promotes self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells, however, the target genes of CHIR99021 is not fully understood. AICAR is the activator of AMP-activated protein kinase. It is reported that AICAR plays important role in mouse embryonic stem cells, however the moleculor mechanism of this phenomenon is unknown. To better understand the downstream target genes of CHIR99021 and AICAR, we performed Microarray analyses to identify their downstream targets. The data show the genes regulated by CHIR99021 or AICAR. J1 mESCs maintained in medium containing 1000 U/mL LIF and supplemented without or with CHIR99021 or AICAR for 24 hours, then total RNA was extracted for analysis.

Project description:We have demonstrated AICAR can maintain J1 mouse ES cells pluripotency in our previous research, yet its effects on ES cells miRNAs expression remain a mystery. In this study, we performed small RNA (sRNA) High-throughput sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2000 to investigate the influence of AICAR on J1 mouse ES cells miRNAs expression and further found the mechanism of how miRNAs affect ES cells pluripotency maintenance. Samples that treated by DMSO is used as a control.
