ABSTRACT: Analysis of KhES-1 and H9 human ES cells in growth factors-dependent (E8) and -independent (AKIT) medium in feeder-free culture condition and KSR/bFGF medium on a feeder-layer. Results provide insight into genetic stability in different culture media/conditions.
Project description:Analysis of undifferentiated KhES-1 human embryonic stem cells in growth factors-dependent (E8) and -independent (AKIT) culture medium. Results provide insight into genes differentially expressed in pluripotent states maintained by AKIT and E8 culture medium.
Project description:This study describes the transcriptome profiling of: 1) mouse ES cells in LIF/KSR medium; 2)EpiSCs in bFGF/serum-free (KSR) medium; 3) EpiSCs treated with MM401/LIF KSR at D3 and D6 (P2); 4) rES reverted form EpiSC by MM401/LIF KSR treatment at P6, P30 with or without MM401 .
Project description:Assessment of differentiation potential is a basic requirement to obtain qualified human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs). Here, we report a simple differentiation method using fetal bovine serum (FBS) to estimate differentiation potential and propensity of hPSCs. PluriTest using RNA-sequencing showed that cells differentiated after treatment with 5% FBS. Expression patterns of three germ layer markers revealed that cells cultured in Knockout Serum Replacement-containing medium (KSR) with mouse feeder cells had higher differentiation potential than cells cultured in a chemically defined medium (E8) with recombinant matrix proteins, especially into the mesoderm and endoderm lineages. Analysis of differentially expressed genes between KSR and E8 identified DUSP6 as a marker for where cells had been cultured. Expression of DUSP6 correlated with FGF-ERK signaling activity. Fine-tuning of FGF-ERK signaling activity to a range that can shut down DUSP6 transcription but sustain NANOG transcription partially increased the differentiation potential. Our data suggest that differentiation with 5% FBS is good to estimate differentiation potential and propensity at the early stage, and that DUSP6 is an excellent marker to monitor ERK signaling activity.
Project description:Purpose:To explore the the function and underlying mechanisms of basic fibroblast growth factor (BFGF) on calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) a. Methods: The valvular interstitial cells were isolated from porcine aortic valve leaflets. To investigate the effect of BFGF on osteogenic differentiation of VICs, the osteogenic induced medium (OIM) and BFGF were added. RNA sequencing is used to identify changes in gene proffles. Results:This analysis completed the full transcriptome sequencing of 9 samples, with a total of 2 differentially expressed gene groups. The number of differentially expressed genes detected was 2526, 159. 6596 lncRNAs were identified, and the number of differentially expressed lncRNAs detected was 349,100. 6179 new circRNAs were predicted, and the number of differentially expressed circRNAs detected was 4,243. Conclusions:This study completed for the first time to the sequencing of the full transcriptome expression of valve interstitial cells under the action of BFGF, and has proved that BFGF can inhibit the calcification process of valve interstitial cells, our study suggests that bFGF has important value in the prevention and treatment of CAVD.
Project description:To assess the effect of sodium butyrate exposure on human ESC grown without culture support for self-renewal (I.e. without conditioned medium and added bFGF) in support of data generated on H1 hESC - two groups were compared - BG02 culture in feeder conditioned versus on sodium butyrate - in triplicate and compared on Agilent whole human genome array BG02 hESC were grown under two conitions - A. for 31 passages on Matrigel in feeder conditioned medium and B. for 29 passages on Matrigel in feeder conditioned medium followed by 20 passages in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate without conditioned medium and in human ES cell medium containing no added bFGF
Project description:To assess the effect of sodium butyrate exposure on human ESC grown without culture support for self-renewal (I.e. without conditioned medium and added bFGF) - three groups were compared - H1 culture in feeder conditioned medium vs without conditioned medium in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate vs. grown in sodium butyrate for 4 passages followed by return to conditioned medium conditions for 3 passages. The three groups were grown in triplicate and compared on Agilent whole human genome array
Project description:In order to investigate the gene expression changes in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) during differentiation, we performed a microarray analysis from RNAs isolated from undifferentiated hESCs and their differentiated cells incubated for 1 week or 2 weeks in ESC medium. Human SNUhES3 ESCs (Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Korea) were cultured on mitotically-arrested STO feeder cells (ATCC, Manassas, USA) in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 20% knockout serum replacement (KSR). The embryoid bodies were incubated for 1 or 2 weeks in the above ESC medium without bFGF. Cells were then lysed and RNA was isolated.
Project description:To assess the effect of sodium butyrate exposure on human ESC grown without culture support for self-renewal (I.e. without conditioned medium and added bFGF) - three groups were compared - H1 culture in feeder conditioned medium vs without conditioned medium in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate vs. grown in sodium butyrate for 4 passages followed by return to conditioned medium conditions for 3 passages. The three groups were grown in triplicate and compared on Agilent whole human genome array Experiment Overall Design: H1 hESC were grown under 3 conditions: A. 48 passages total, the last 9 passages off of feeders on Matrigel in feeder conditioned medium B. 48 passages total, within the last 9 passges, #39-41 were in conditioned medium and #42-48 were without conditioned medium and added bFGF but with 0.2 mM sodium butyrate on Matrigel C. 49 passages total, within the last 10 passages #39-41 were in conditioned medium, #42-46 in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate (without feeder of bFGF support) and #47-49 back to conditioned medium + bFGF. The RNA from these cells were compared via Agilent whole human genome array.
