Project description:Kidney organoids derived from human iPSCs have cell heterogeneity of maturation. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAs-seq) to extract the factor related to proximal tubule maturation. Using the kidney organoids cultured with the factors that accelerate the maturation speed of proximal tubules extracted by the aforementioned method, we examined whether the maturity of the proximal tubules increases within the same induction period.
Project description:We performed CUT&RUN sequencing to characterize HNF4A binding sites in human adult kidney and kidney organoid-derived proximal tubular cells.
Project description:The kidney organoid differentiation protocol takes induced pluripotent stem cells through to kidney organoid via directed differentiation in approximately 25 days. The cells are grown in a monolayer in a dish for seven days and are subjected to growth factors before being pelleted on day seven. The organoids then continue to differentiate as a 3D structure, with at least 8 distinct kidney cell types identifiable around day 18. Here proximal tubules were isolated from day 25 kidney organoids and RNA-sequencing libraries generated.
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:Freshly isolated rat kidney proximal tubules were subjected for transcript profiling. Three microarray experiments were done to obtain the kidney proxmial tubule transcriptome.
