Project description:Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) was used to profile the transcriptome of 16,015 nuclei in human adult testis. This dataset includes five samples from two different individuals. This dataset is part of a larger evolutionary study of adult testis at the single-nucleus level (97,521 single-nuclei in total) across mammals including 10 representatives of the three main mammalian lineages: human, chimpanzee, bonobo, gorilla, gibbon, rhesus macaque, marmoset, mouse (placental mammals); grey short-tailed opossum (marsupials); and platypus (egg-laying monotremes). Corresponding data were generated for a bird (red junglefowl, the progenitor of domestic chicken), to be used as an evolutionary outgroup.
Project description:Hepatocytes generated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are unprecedented resources for pharmaceuticals and cell therapy. However, little attention has so far been paid to variations among hiPSC lines in terms of their hepatic differentiation. We developed an improved hepatic differentiation protocol and compared multiple hiPSC lines. This comparison indicated that the hepatic differentiation propensity varies among sibling hiPSC clones derived from the same adult human dermal fibroblasts (aHDFs). In addition, hiPSC clones derived from peripheral blood cells (PB-iPSCs) consistently showed good hepatic differentiation efficiency, whereas many hiPSC clones from adult dermal fibroblasts (aHDF-iPSCs) showed poor hepatic differentiation. However, when we compared hiPSCs from blood and dermal fibroblasts from the same individuals, we found that variations in hepatic differentiation were largely attributable to donor differences, rather than to the types of the original cells. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the observed variations in hepatic differentiation, we performed microarray analyses of sibling aHDF-iPSC clones, and aHDF- and PB-iPSC clones from the same individuals. Undifferentiated aHDF- and PB-iPSCs from the same individuals (two Parkinson’s disease patients (PD #1 and PD #2) and one adult healthy donor (donor91))
Project description:RNA-seq samples from 3 species across a differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells to neural progenitor cells were generated to study gene expression evolution. Briefly, previously generated urinary stem cell derived iPSCs of 3 human (Homo sapiens) individuals (3 clones), 1 gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) individual and fibroblast derived cynomolgus macaque (Macaca fascicularis) iPSCs of 2 individuals (4 clones) (Geuder et al. 2021) were differentiated to neural progenitor cells via dual-SMAD inhibition as three-dimensional aggregation culture (Chambers et al. 2009; Ohnuki et al. 2014). Bulk RNA-seq libraries of iPSCs and NPCs were generated using prime-seq protocol (Janjic et al. 2022).
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:Small hepatocyte progenitor cells (SHPCs) can be derived from primary adult human hepatocytes on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). SHPCs derived and cultured on MEFs retain their differentiated morphology and gene expression profiles over several passages. SHPCs in MEF co-culture metabolize acetaminophen to all of its major metabolites at rates equal to mature adult primary human hepatocytes.

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.
