Project description:Hypoxia enhances the reprogramming efficiency of human dermal fibroblasts to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Because we showed previously that the hypoxia facilitates the isolation and maintenance of human dental pulp cells (DPCs), we examined here whether it promotes the reprogramming of DPCs to become iPSCs.
Project description:Hypoxia enhances the reprogramming efficiency of human dermal fibroblasts to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Because we showed previously that the hypoxia facilitates the isolation and maintenance of human dental pulp cells (DPCs), we examined here whether it promotes the reprogramming of DPCs to become iPSCs. To investigate the effect of oxygen concentration on global gene expression, we compared DPCs cultured for 6 days under hypoxia and normoxia.
Project description:Human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) are one of the promising resources for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, including derivation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, our current protocol uses reagents of animal origin, mainly fetal bovine serum (FBS) with potential risk of infectious diseases and unwanted immunogenicity. This time, we designed a chemically defined protocol to isolate and maintain the growth and differentiation potentials of hDPCs.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
Project description:In this study, we investigated its suitability for disease modeling by carrying out gene expression profiling, using RNA-seq, on neurons derived from iPSCs made from dental pulp extracted from deciduous teeth (T-iPSCs) and fibroblasts (F-iPSCs). Comparison of expression profiles of iPSC derived from dental pulp and skin-fibroblast

Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression. Two-condition experiment, Normoxic MSCs vs. Hypoxic MSCs.
Project description:We report the application of high-throughput profiling of gene expression in human dental pulp cells under normoxia and hypoxia conditions.
