Project description:We report a genome-wide microarray analysis of gene expression in mouse embryonic stem cell (ESC) and in vitro ES-derived cells. iHoxB4 ESCs were transduced with a library of shRNAs targeting >15,000 genes, and were differentiated towards hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells by forcing HoxB4 expression in the cells. Five cell populations were isolated on differentiation days 6 and 20. Differentiated mesodermal/endothelium cell population D6F (Ssea1-Flkl+Cxcr4-), endodermal cell population D6C (Ssea1-Flkl-Cxcr4+), D20LS (Lin-Sca1+c-Kit–), D20LK (Lin–Sca1–c-Kit+), and D20LSK (Lin–Sca1+c-Kit+) cells were purified by FACS. Transduced iHoxB4 cells were analyzed as undifferentiated control cells. The experiment was performed three times independently.
Project description:Peripheral inflammation affects hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow and induce myeloid lineage skewing of the progenitor cells. In this study, we performed single cell ATAC-sequencing in LSK (Lin—Sca-1+cKit+ ) and GMP (Lin—c-Kit+Sca1—CD16/32+CD34+) cells to determine the impact of ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) on the epigenomic profile of these BM cells.
Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic LSK(Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+) cells lacking the Serum response factor (SRF) gene. Results provide insight into the role of SRF in regulating genetic programs important for hematopoietic stem cell development
Project description:Runx/Cbfb heterodimers play important roles in the development of hematopoietic cells in mouse embryos and adults. In order to identify genes that are regulated by Runx/Cbfb, we purified Lin– c-kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) cells and Lin– c-kit+ Sca1– CD16/32+ (GMP) cells from Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) and Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice and profiled gene expression using microarray.
