Project description:Lineage negativ Sca1+ Kit+ bone marrow cells (containing putative hematopoietic stem cells) subfractionation based on CD34 and FLT3 identifies three functionally destinc subpopulations (LSKCD34-FLT3-, LSKCD34+FLT3- & LSKCD34+FLT3+). Experiment Overall Design: Lineage negativ Kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) hematopoietic stem cell subpopulations were FACS sorted based on their CD34/FLT3 expression. Subsequently RNA was extracted, labelled and hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain expression pattern changes that might explain the difference in function between the functionally destinct LSK subpopulations.
Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC, LSK Flt3-) and myeloid progenitors (MP, LK CD34+) sorted from wildtype and Dnmt1 hypomorph mice Experiment Overall Design: We FACS sorted HSCs and MPs from bone marrow of 8-12 week old wildtype or Dnmt1 hypomorph (Dnmt1-/chip) mice.
Project description:Mononuclear cells from AML patients (n=46) were sorted into CD34+ and CD34- subfractions and genome-wide expression analysis was performed using Illumina BeadChip Arrays (HT12 v3). Of 2 AML samples only the CD34+ fraction could be analyzed. AML CD34+ and CD34- gene expression was compared to a large group of normal CD34+ bone marrow cells (n=31). Mononuclear cells from AML patients (n=46) were sorted into CD34+ (46) and CD34- (44) subfractions and genome-wide expression analysis was performed using Illumina BeadChip Arrays (HT12 v3). AML CD34+ and CD34- gene expression was compared to a large group of normal CD34+ bone marrow cells (n=31).
Project description:An increased number of circulating CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors (HP) and a prominent amplification of dystrophic megakaryocytes (MK) are observed in PMF patients. As transcriptome data from CD34+ hematopoietic progenitors showed modulations of FLT3 and MAP kinase expression independently of the JAK2V617F mutation status Transcriptome analysis was performed on circulating CD34+ cells from PMF patients using Agilent 22K microarray and compared to CD34+ cells from blood and bone marrow from un-mobilized healthy donors. Indirect map: each tested sample was hybridzed with reference probe
Project description:A transcriptome study in mouse hematopoietic stem cells was performed using a sensitive SAGE method, in an attempt to detect medium and low abundant transcripts expressed in these cells. Among a total of 31,380 unique transcript, 17,326 (55%) known genes were detected, 14,054 (45%) low-copy transcripts that have no matches to currently known genes. 3,899 (23%) were alternatively spliced transcripts of the known genes and 3,754 (22%) represent anti-sense transcripts from known genes. Mouse hematopoietic stem cells were purified from bone marrow cells using negative and positive selection with a Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorter (MACS). total RNA and mRNA were purified from the purified cells using Trizol reagent and magnetic oligo dT beads. Double strand cDNAs were synthesized using a cDNA synthesis kit and anchored oligo dT primers. After NlaIII digestion, 3’ cDNAs were isolated and amplified through 16-cycle PCR. SAGE tags were released from the 3’ cDNA after linker ligation. Ditags were formed, concatemerized and cloned into a pZERO vector. Sequencing reactions were performed with the ET sequencing terminator kit. Sequences were collected using a Megabase 1000 sequencer. SAGE tag sequences were extracted using SAGE 2000 software.
