Project description:Cartilage endplate-derived stem cells (CESCs) with chondro-osteogenic differentiation capacity may be responsible for the balance of chondrification and ossification in cartilage endplate (CEP). CEP is an avascular and hypoxic tissue, and hypoxia could inhibit the osteogenic differentiation of CESCs. We used high-throughput scanning to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and alternatively spliced genes (ASGs) during osteogenic differentiation of CESCs under hypoxia compared to those induced under normoxia. Human cartilage endplate-derived stem cells (CESCs) were treated with osteogenic differentiation medium under normoxia and hypoxia for 21 days respectively.

CEP is an avascular and hypoxic tissue, and hypoxia could influence the fate of CESCs. We used high-throughput scanning to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and alternatively spliced genes (ASGs) of CESCs under hypoxia compared to those under normoxia.

Project description:Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most prevalent conditions which need medical advice and result in chronic disabilities. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common reason for LBP. A lot of researchers think that CEP degeneration play critical roles in the initiation and development of DDD. In recent years, researchers have put interests on cell-based therapies for regenerating disc structure and function. Our research team has isolated cartilage endplate-derived stem cells (CESCs) and validated their chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation ability. Enhanced chondrogenic differentiation and inhibited osteogenic differentiation of CESCs may retard CEP calcification and restore the nutrition supply, possibly regenerating the degenerated discs. We used Affymetrix Human Transcriptome Array 2.0 to study the global gene expression profilling and alternative splicing events during the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of cartilage endplate-derived stem cells. The cartilage endplate-derived stem cells(CESCs) were induced to undergo chondrogenic(CD) and osteogenic differentiation(OD). Both undifferentiated and differentiated CESCs were sent for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. A comparative analysis was done between the undifferentiated and differentiated samples.
