Project description:Stem cell differentiation strategies and optimization for generating lineage-specific cells and tissues most frequently rely on a three-dimensional embryoid body (EB) intermediate. We previously applied nanotechnology tools of photolithography to generate custom microarrays that allow high throughput uniform formation of EBs of custom size for precise downstream analysis. Formation of EBs of 200 or 500 micron size revealed distinct morphological differences that are single or multicystic cores, respectively, independent of method of formation from single cells or two-dimensional (2D) clusters. Here we utilize photolithographic array generated EBs to obtain 3D cultures under a standardized platform for transcriptome analysis to compare EB size and the method of EB formation from single cells or mechanically passaged 2D clusters. Our analysis evaluates RNA expression in EBs formed from the human embryonic stem cell (hESC) line WA09 and from ethnically diverse human induced pluripotent stem cell lines (ED-iPSC) of African American and Hispanic Latino ethnicity recently derived in our laboratory. This is the first comprehensive study on EB transcriptomes including multiple size parameters, EB formation methodologies, and ethnicities. Our analysis indicates upregulation of genes involved in wound healing for mechanically passaged cells and of genes for embryonic tube formation in 500 micron multicystic EBs. We propose that EB maturation may be a longer process then previously realized. In addition, the type or extent of maturation possible may be influenced by EB size, with larger EBs capable of more extensive remodeling as revealed by multicystic morphology and initiation of early tube formation pathways while retaining pluripotency status. We anticipate that this information will be broadly useful to the stem cell and bioengineering communities in optimization of tissue engineering with pluripotent stem cells and understanding sources of variation. mRNA profiles by RNA-seq from embryoid bodies generated by different methods

Project description:Snai1 is a master factor of epithelial to mesenchymal transitioin (EMT), however, its role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and lineage commitment remains undefined. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression between control and Snai1 knockout ESCs-derived EB and teratoma.

Project description:Snai1 is a master factor of epithelial to mesenchymal transitioin (EMT), however, its role in embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation and lineage commitment remains undefined. We used microarrays to compare the global programme of gene expression between control and Snai1 knockout ESCs-derived EB and teratoma. For EBs, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were cultured as embryoid bodies in spotaneous differentiation media, RNA of 5 days EBs were collected for Affymetrix microarrays. For teratomas, control and Snai1 knockout ESCs were injected into nude mice to form teratomas. RNA of 6 weeks were collected for Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Human pluripotent stem cells were differentiated by size-controlled embryoid body (EB) formation in defined neutral, ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm conditions. EB's were analysed at 4, 10 and 16 days post induction by real-time PCR using the Fludigm Deltagene primers and probes.

Project description:Compared the global gene expression profiles of HD- and CON-iPSC-derived neurons We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression for comparing the global gene expression profiles of HD- and CON-iPSC-derived neurons and facilitating studies of medium spiny neurons (MSN)-degenerative processes of Huntington's Disease (HD). By using a step-wise in vitro differentiation protocol combining EB formation, neural induction by small molecules, treatment with inhibitors of the TGFß pathway (SB431542) and the BMP pathway (LDN193189), and mechanical isolation/purification of neural progenitors and neurons, we induced 60-70% of control iPSCs or HD-iPSCs to differentiate into GABA- and DARPP-32- double positive neurons.

Project description:Human Primordial Germ Cell (PGC)-like cells (PGCLC) were specified in vitro from naive-like hiPS cell lines. To evaluate the first steps of PGCLC differentiation, we performed scRNA-seq (droplet-based technology, 10x) on cell suspension from embryoid body (EB) obtained after EB aggregation followed by 4 days of culture (EBd4) with cocktail of cytokines (BMP4, LIF, SCF, EGF and ROCK inhibitor) supplemented with 0.1 mM 2-mercaptoethanol and 15% KSR. In this study, two pools of embryoid bodies (EBD4_A, EBD4_B) were cultured independently for for further encapsulation and sequencing.
