Project description:In undifferentiated human ES cells, 5hr Met deprivation (delta Met) led to decreased proliferation, and promote differentiation We used microarrays to detail the mollecular mechanism of cell-death caused by Met deprivation in undifferentiated iPS cells.
Project description:Here, we report the generation of human induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cell reporter line in which a venus fluorescent protein have been introduced into the MYOGENIN (MYOG) locus. We use microarrays to compare the transcriptome of MYOG-venus+ cells after 3 weeks of myogenic differentiation to that of undifferentiated iPS Satellite cells (SC) are muscle stem cells which can regenerate adult muscles upon injury. Most SC originate from PAX7-positive myogenic precursors set aside during development. While myogenesis has been studied in mouse and chicken embryos, little is known about human muscle development. Here, we use microarrays to compare the transcriptome of myogenic cells differentiated in vitro from human and mouse ES and iPS cells reporter cell lines. We generated fluorescent reporter lines in which a fluorescent protein was introduced into the loci coding for Pax7 (mouse ES and human iPS) or MYOG (human iPS). Mouse ES and human iPS cells were differentiated to the myogenic lineage in vitro for three weeks according to the protocols described in Chal et al, Nature Biotech 2015 and to Chal, Al Tanoury et al, Nature Protocols, 2016. Fluorescent Pax7 or MYOG-positive cells were FACS-sorted after 3-weeks of differentiation in vitro and we used Affymetrix microarrays to analyze the transcriptome of the purified mouse and human cell populations and compare it to the transcriptome of undifferentiated mouse ES or human iPS cells.

Project description:We report the application of MNase-seq (Kent, Adams et al. 2011) to construct genome-wide nucleosome maps from human cells. To date, genome-wide changes in chromatin structure that occur during development in human cells have not been investigated widely. We have constructed and compared genome-wide chromatin maps from undifferentiated human iPS cells and and iPS cells differentiated to neural progenitor cells (NPC).

Project description:Disease-specific induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells have been used for a model to analyze pathogenesis of the disease. We generated iPS cells derived from a fibroblastic cell line of ataxia telangiectasia (AT-iPS cells). In analysis of AT-iPS cells, the human wild-type iPS cell line (MRC5-iPS) was generated and cultured in the same conditions as the diseased iPS cell lines. It is an ideal control cell line for the disease and patient-specific iPS cell lines. Because MRC5-iPS cells exhibited considerable chromosomal abnormalities in vitro, we performed a structural alteration analysis by using a SNP genotyping array for MRC5-iPS cell line, Tic, at passage 15, passage 30, and passage 37.
