Project description:Global gene expression (transcriptome) analysis was performed by messenger RNA sequencing (mRNAseq) on iPSC-derived MSCs produced in three separate lots to determine consistency in gene expression between lots.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomic profile (mRNA-seq) of HD and control patient iPSC-derived neural cells to identify alterations in gene expression Methods: RNA were isolated from HD and control iPSC-derived neural cells. mRNAseq using Illumina Truseq mRNA PolyA+ v2 lib prep and Hiseq 2000. Statistical difference in mRNA levels were calculated with subsequent GO and pathway analysis Results: mRNAseq and statistical analysis revealed 1869 differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived neural cells. Conclusions: Our study shows 1869 differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived neural cells, and reveals gene networks that relevant to the mechanism of HD pathogenesis.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the transcriptomic profile (mRNA-seq) of HD and control patient iPSC-derived brain microvascular endotheial cells to identify alterations in gene expression. Methods: RNA were isolated from HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells. mRNAseq using Illumina TruSeq mRNA PolyA+ v2 lib prep and HiSeq 2500. Statistical difference in mRNA levels were calculated with subsequent GO and pathway analysis. Results: mRNAseq and statistical analysis revealed differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells. Conclusions: Our study shows differentially expressed genes between HD and control iPSC-derived brain microvascular endothelial cells, and reveals gene networks that are relevant to the mechanism of HD pathogenesis.
Project description:We report the application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to analysis the gene expression profile among three different cells:SF-MSCs, iPSCs and iPSC-MSCs. Our results shown that iPSC-MSCs were more similar to SF-MSCs than iPSCs.
Project description:To explore differences between native MSCs (nMSCs) and iPSC-derived MSCs (iMSCs), we developed isogeneic lines from Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) from the umbilical cords of two donors (#12 and #13) under xeno-free conditions. Next, we reprogrammed them into iPSCs (iPSC12 and iPSC13) and subsequently differentiated them back into iMSCs (iMSC12 and iMSC13) using two different protocols, which we named ARG and TEX. As an additional control, we used human embryonic stem cell line KCL034 to differentiate the cells into eMSC following ARG and TEX protocols. We assessed IFNG-induced changes in all lines. Our data suggest that, following a careful selection and screening of donors, nMSCs from umbilical’s cord WJ can be easily reprogrammed into iPSCs providing an unlimited source of material for differentiation into iMSCs. However, the differentiation protocol should be chosen depending on their clinical use.
