Project description:Analysis of hematopoietic LSK(Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+) cells lacking the Serum response factor (SRF) gene. Results provide insight into the role of SRF in regulating genetic programs important for hematopoietic stem cell development Comparison of the gene expression profile between murine Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+ cells from Mx-Cre C57BL/6 Srf WT (3) and C57BL/6 Srf KO (3). Cells were sorted by flow cytometry and RNA was harvested and hybridized to Affymetrix MOE430A.

Project description:The study profiled the effect of Phf6 deletion on gene expression in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), multipotent progenitor cells (MPPs) and hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC-1). Phf6lox/Y;Tie2-creTg/+ mice were prepared on a C57BL/6 background so that Phf6 deletion could be selectively mediated by Tie2-cre. Cell populations were sorted from bone marrow samples using standard surface markers (Lin–SCA1+cKIT+(LSK) CD150+ CD48– for HSCs, Lin–SCA1+cKIT+(LSK) CD150– CD48– for MPPs and Lin–SCA1+cKIT+(LSK) CD150- CD48+ for HPC-1 cells). Phf6 intact and Phf6-delected cells of all three types were profiled by paired-end RNA-seq using an Illumina NextSeq 500 sequencer. RNA-seq libraries were prepared from the HPC-1 samples used a standard Illumina TruSeq library protocol whereas the libraries for the HSC and MPP samples used a SMART-seq ultra low input kit for cDNA synthesis and amplification. Statistical analysis of the TruSeq and SMART-seq samples was undertaken separately.
Project description:Runx/Cbfb heterodimers play important roles in the development of hematopoietic cells in mouse embryos and adults. In order to identify genes that are regulated by Runx/Cbfb, we purified Lin– c-kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) cells and Lin– c-kit+ Sca1– CD16/32+ (GMP) cells from Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) and Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice and profiled gene expression using microarray.
Project description:Peripheral inflammation affects hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in the bone marrow and induce myeloid lineage skewing of the progenitor cells. In this study, we performed single cell ATAC-sequencing in LSK (Lin—Sca-1+cKit+ ) and GMP (Lin—c-Kit+Sca1—CD16/32+CD34+) cells to determine the impact of ligature-induced periodontitis (LIP) on the epigenomic profile of these BM cells.
Project description:To understand molecular mechanisms that are deregulated in hematopoietic stem progenitor cells from transgenic mice that express the constitutively active form of IKK2 protein in HSCs (CA/CA mice), we isolated Flt3 low Lin-Sca1+c-Kit+ (LSK) cells from control and CA/CA mice and performed microarray analysis using the Illumina's MouseWG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChip platform.
Project description:To compare the impact of hematopoietic-specific Brpf1 gene inactivation, LSK (Lin-Sca1+cKit1+) cells were sorted from wild-type and Brpf1-null fetal liver cells for RNA-Seq.
Project description:Runx/Cbfb heterodimers play important roles in the development of hematopoietic cells in mouse embryos and adults. In order to identify genes that are regulated by Runx/Cbfb, we purified Lin– c-kit+ Sca1+ (LSK) cells and Lin– c-kit+ Sca1– CD16/32+ (GMP) cells from Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) and Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice and profiled gene expression using microarray. 200,000 LSK and GMP cells were purified separately from two 7 week old Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/F) mice and two Vav1-iCre x Cbfb(F/+) mice by cell sorting. The purity was higher than 98%. Total RNA was extracted using the NucleoSpin RNA XS kit (Macherey-Nagel), amplified using a PicoSL RNA amplification kit (Nugen) and biotinylated with Encore biotin module (Nugen). Labeled RNA was hybridized to Mouse Gene 1.0ST microarrays (Affymetrix) according to the manufacturer’s instruction.
Project description:Targeted mouse mutants with inactivated Mixed-Lineage-Leukemia-5 (Mll5, MGI:1924825) alleles exhibit numerical, cell cycle and functional abnormalities in their hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) compartments, including hyper-proliferation of otherwise quiescent hematopoietic stem cells, lack of long-term reconstitution potential and profound radiation sensitivity. Most of the HSPC defects are secondary to increased levels of DNA damage and intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To obtain first insights into underlying molecular mechanisms, we performed Affymetrix gene chip analysis using total RNA isolated from FACS-sorted Lin-Sca1+Kit+ (LSK) cells of Mll5+/+ and Mll5-/- mice, both with and without prior long-term treatment with the ROS quencher N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC). As key finding, microarray data revealed elevated hybridization signals for several transcripts of known or putative IFN-1 target genes in LSK cells from Mll5-/- mice irrespective of NAC-treatment. In fact, comprehensive gene set enrichment analysis identified a number of gene sets closely associated with interferon responses that were significantly affected in Mll5-/- LSK cells. RNA was isolated from FACS-sorted Lin-Sca1+Kit+ (LSK) cells of Mll5+/+ and Mll5-/- mice, both with and without prior long-term treatment with the ROS quencher N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)
Project description:The study was a comparison of gene expression using RNA-seq. We analyzed the stem and progenitor cells from WT and Vav-cre+ Tet2fl/fl Flt3-ITD (T2F3) mice. We isolated stem cells LSK (lin- sca+ kit+) and granulocyte-macrophage progenitors GMP (lin- sca- kit+ fcgr+ cd34+) cells from bone marrow. Comparisons were made across genotypes WT vs. T2F3 and cell types LSK vs. GMP.
