Project description:We generated a retinal pigment epithelial cell line with complete knockout of giantin using CRISPR. This experiment sought to define changes in the transcriptome of that cell line compared to the parental wild-type cells.
Project description:We perform CRISPR knockout of IRAK4 usig two different sgRNAs in murine KP2 cells, and then reexpressed murine IRAK4 in these two KO cell lines. We performed RNAseq on wild-type, IRAK4 KO and IRAK4 KO/rescue cell lines to investigate pathways contolled by IRAK4.
Project description:ES/iPS-retinal sheet transplantation, which supplies photoreceptors as well as other retinal cells, has been shown able to restore visual function in mice with end-stage retinal degeneration. Here, we introduce a novel type of genetically engineered mouse ES/iPS-retinal sheet with reduced numbers of secondary retinal neurons but intact photoreceptor cell layer structure (Bhlhb4 knockout and Islet1 knockout). We show that this KO grafts can differentiate into retinal organoids with similar potency as wildtype retinal organoids. The data set contains data from 3 cell lines: wildtype (WT, specified as ‘NCT’), B4KO (Bhlhb4 knock-out), and Isl1KO(Islet-1 knockout) across 3 differential days (DDs, DD10, DD16, and DD23) along the early differentiation of retinal tissue.
Project description:Immunoprecipitation of GNAQ protein by immunoprecipitation with two different antibodies from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (C-19 and E-17) in isolated mitochondria from different cell lines. The cell lines used include: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) wild-type (WT), GNAQ knockout (KO) and knockout expressing GNAQ WT (KO_Gq). NIH3T3 cells were also used.
