Project description:We subjected podocytes (either differentiated or undifferentiated) to a pulse with stable isotope labeled amino acids for 24, 48, 72 and 96h.
Project description:Compare the transcriptomic signature of hASPCs isolated by plating the stromal vascular fraction of collagenase-digested human adipose tissue from four different depots at the undifferentiated (t0) and differentiated (t14) times.
Project description:HL-60 is a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line and differentiated HL-60 is an alternative to human primary neutrophils. The transcriptomic profile of undifferentiated HL-60 and dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 were determined at 4 and 24 hours after stimulation with high and low concentrations of Staphylococcus aureus lipoteichoic acids.
Project description:Purpose: We applied the next-generation sequencing to explore the differential gene expression in CAD cells differentiated with dexamethasone (Dex), compared to the undifferentiated cells using Illumna -based RNA-sequencing. Methods: Total RNAs were extracted from undifferentiated CAD cells and Dex-differentiated cells (5 days). Three independent samples were collected from both experimental groups. Samples then underwent to the sequencing step performed on NextSeq with a 75 base-pair end read length. Quality filtered reads were mapped to the mouse reference genome (GRCm38.p6). Feature Counts software was implemented to obtain raw counts for all mouse genes. The gene counts were used for differential expression analysis with the DESeq2 package to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the Dex-differentiated CAD cells, as compared to the undifferentiated CAD cells. Results: The sequence reads (expression level) per sample was obtained in a range of 9.8-11.2 million. The high quality of sequence reads was mapped to the mouse reference transcriptome (GRCm38.p6). The gene counts were used for differential expression analysis. The sample-to-sample distance demonstrated that the clustering of the undifferentiated groups was completely separated from the clustering of Dex-differentiated groups. A PCA plot showed that there was a huge variation (PC 1 =99%) between the Dex-differentiated group and the undifferentiated group but less variation was observed within the same group (PC2 = 0%). These statistic profiles indicate that the transcriptomic profile between Dex-differentiated CAD cells and undifferentiated CAD cells had the different pattern. A total of 1,183 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the Dex-differentiated CAD cells compared to the undifferentiated CAD cells (false discovery rate < 0.01 and |log2 [fold change] | > 2). Of these, 803 and 380 genes were significantly upregulated and downregulated in the Dex-differentiated group, respectively. Conclusion: Dexamethasone causes extensive changes in gene expression of CAD cells.
Project description:The mammalian adult brain contains two neural stem and precursor (NPC) niches: subventricular zone [SVZ] lining the lateral ventricles and subgranular zone [SGZ] in the hippocampus. From these SVZ NPCs represent the largest NPC pool. Notably, while SGZ NPCs typically only produce neurons and astrocytes, SVZ NPCs produce neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes throughout life. Of particular importance is the generation and replacement of oligodendrocytes, the only myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). SVZ NPCs contribute to myelination by regenerating oligodendrocyte precursor cell (OPC) pool and by differentiating into oligodendrocytes in the developing and demyelinated brain. The neurosphere assay has been widely adopted by the scientific community to facilitate the study of NPCs in vitro. Here, we present a streamlined protocol for culturing postnatal and adult SVZ NPCs and OPCs from primary neurosphere cells. We characterize the purity and differentiation potential as well as provide RNA-sequencing profiles of postnatal SVZ NPCs, postnatal SVZ OPCs and adult SVZ NPCs. We show that primary neurospheres cells generated from postnatal and adult SVZ differentiate into neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes concurrently and at comparable levels. SVZ OPCs are generated by subjecting primary neurosphere cells to OPC growth factors fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and platelet-derived growth factor-AA (PDGF-AA). We further show SVZ OPCs can differentiate into oligodendrocytes in the absence and presence of thyroid hormone T3. Transcriptomic analysis confirmed the identities of each cell population and revealed novel immune and signalling pathways expressed in an age and cell type specific manner.
