Project description:The transcriptome of LT-HSC (CD34+CD38-CD45RA+CD90+CD49f+) and ST-HSC (CD34+CD38-CD45RA+CD90-CD49f-) from healthy adult human Bone Marrow Cells were assessed by RNA-seq.
Project description:The transcriptome of shRenilla and shGPRC5C in long term hematopoietic stem cells (LT-HSC) from human bone marrow was assessed by RNAseq.
Project description:To investigate successful maintenance of skin epithelial stem cells (EpSCs) in vitro using Wnt-3a, we prepared CD49f+CD34+ cells, an EpSC-rich population from adult mouse skin and cultured for 10 days in the presence of Wnt-3a. Sorted CD49f+CD34+ cells proliferated markedly in the presence of Wnt-3a. Those cells were then subjected to a second 10-day culture with Wnt-3a and sorted, with the same procedures repeated until fifteen 10-day cultures were performed. A dye-swapped experiment was performed by hybridizing complimentary RNA (cRNA) labeled with either Cyanine (Cy) -3 or Cy-5 onto 4X44K ver.2 Agilent Whole Mouse Genome Oligo Microarray (G4846A).
Project description:Single cell transcriptomic profiling (sc RNA-seq) of the two Human Hematopoietic Stem Cell Populations: CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD90+CD49f+ (hereafter CD90+CD49f+) and CD34+CD38-CD45RA-CD90-CD49f+ (hereafter CD90-CD49f+)
Project description:To explore the functional difference between CD90+CD39+ and CD90+CD39- fibroblasts in human hypertrophic scar and normal skin, the gene expresson microarray was performed on Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39+ and Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39- cells sorted from suspension disgested from three human hypertrophic scar samples; and Live CD49f- E-Cadherin- Lin- CD45- CD31- CD90+ CD39+ cells sorted from suspension disgested from three human normal skin samples
Project description:Transcriptomic profiling (RNA-seq) of the four most primitive human stem and progenitor populations. Purpose: to compare the transcriptomic profile of the four most primitive human stem and progenitor populations (all are CD34+CD38-CD45RA-): CD90+CD49f+, CD90-CD49f+, CD90+CD49f-, CD90-CD49f-. Conclusions: previouls study of gene expression analysis of these populations were performed using microarray hence, this study represents the first analysis of transcriptomes from these populations generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles of other human blood stem/progenitor populations.
Project description:Purpose: miRNAs, a member of the small RNA, play critical roles in the mammalian spermatogenesis. Spermatogonia was the foundation of spermatogenesis and valuable for the study of spermatogenesis. However, it is still not clear that the expression profiling of the miRNAs in spermatogonia of dairy goat. Methods: The CD49f was one of the surface markers for spermatogonia enrichment by MACS. Therefore, we used CD49f microbeads antibody to purify CD49f-positive and negative cells of dairy goat testicular cells by MACS (Magnetic Activated Cell Sorting), and then in-depth analyzed the miRNA expression in these cells using Illumina sequencing technology. Results: The results of miRNAs expression profiling in purified CD49f-positive and negative testicular cells showed that 933 were miRNAs upregulated in CD49f-positive cells and 916 were miRNAs upregulated in CD49f-negative cells with a 2-fold increase, respectively; some spermatogonial stem cells(SSCs) specific miRNAs and marker genes in testis had a higher level expression in CD49f-positive testicular cells, such as miR-221, miR-23a, miR-29b, miR-24, miR-29a, miR-199b, miR-199a, miR-27a, miR-21. Conclusions: our comparative miRNAome data provided some useful miRNAs profiling data of dairy goat spermatogonia cells and suggested CD49f could be used to enrich dairy goat spermatogonia-like cells, including SSCs. miRNA profiles of goat CD49f-positive and negative testicular cells were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina GAIIx
Project description:Many normal adult tissues contain rare stem cells with extensive self-maintaining regenerative potential. During development, the stem cells of the hematopoietic and neural systems undergo intrinsically specified changes in their self-renewal potential. In the mouse, mammary stem cells with transplantable regenerative activity are first detectable a few days before birth. They share some phenotypic properties with their adult counterparts but are enriched in a subpopulation that displays a distinct gene expression profile. Here we show that fetal mammary epithelial cells have a greater direct and inducible growth potential than their adult counterparts. The latter feature is revealed in a novel culture system that enables large numbers of mammary stem cells with serially transplantable activity as well as in vitro clonogenic progenitors to be produced within 7 days from single fetal or adult input cells. We further show that these responses are highly dependent on novel factors produced by fibroblasts. These findings provide new avenues for elucidating mechanisms that regulate normal mammary epithelial stem cell properties at the single-cell level, how these change during development, and how their perturbation may contribute to transformation. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome of E18.5 fetal and adult MRU-enriched mammary cells. Three biological replicates each of CD31-CD45-Ter119-BP-1-EpCAM+CD49f+ adult basal cells and CD31-CD45-Ter119-EpCAM++CD49f+ fetal cells were sorted. RNA was extracted and hybridized to the Agilent One-Color Gene Expression Arrays .
